if the west backs down, and #ukraine loses, #russia learns that threatening #nukes works and threatens more

other fascist autocratic states notice and also start threatening nukes to get what they want

additionally, countries that don't have nukes rush to get nukes because ukraine gave up theirs

result: lots more nukes, lots more threats to use nukes

giving into #putin's mafia threats is not only cowardice and weakness, it *increases* the chance of being nuked
