We have been so close to nuclear war for years now- Even with highly educated politicians and political academics and certainly military strategists suffer a blind spot in dealing with the unthinkable. The only reason why I doubt the Russians will use nuclear weapons is self preservation. It would be unwise to destroy their own biosphere or the country over which they have been fighting. However I am not so sure some of the "western allies" are fully aware of their connection to- and dependence on to the wider world.
