Remember when people said he wouldn't invade Ukraine?Yeah... Let's presume he's not bluffing. We are close to a nuclear war at the moment, and it could hit us all. A cornered dictator is a lot like a cornered cat: he is capable of anything.Heck, if Russia bombs any of the nuclear reactors in Ukraine, what effect do you think that would have on the rest of Europe? His troops conquering Chernobyl was not just theater. If any of those reactors blow up, every country in Europe will be bathing in radioactive fall out. Sadly before it comes to that, I expect Putin will use chemical weapons on Ukraine first. There is no line he will not cross.Lets not mince words here. We are all in a lot of danger, as we are on the eve of a possible ww3. It is terrifying. I fear not just for my friends and colleagues in Ukraine. I fear also for my own life. We don't have any fall out shelters in The Netherlands. If this escalates further, we're all going to be re enacting one of the Fall Out games over here.</blockquote>
