BACKGROUND INFO: The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is now in its eighth month. All available sources indicate that Russian soldiers are not faring well on the battlefield. Given the huge size of the Russian soldiers and their military capability, the expectation was that Ukraine will capitulate in a matter of days. However, the people of Ukraine have thus far resisted Russia's unprovoked invasion. President Vladimir Putin of Russia has indicated that he may use nuclear weapons on Ukraine to end the war and he made it crystal clear that he was not bluffing.
For this week's discussion board, consider this: If Putin launches a tactical Nuke in Ukraine, how should the U.S. and the NATO alliance respond militarily? (A) Should they use nuclear weapons? (B) Should they use conventional weapons, or (C) should they do nothing at all?
