@jeffowski As someone who once made a lethal mistake, and 10 years on still falls apart at any responsibility with any kind of possible negative consequences to anyone, I find this line of thinking harmful.

Any idea that the Russians will use a nuclear weapon neglects the reality of the rampant Russian military corruption.
Like other weapons, they need maintenance and upkeep. Are you saying that they were kept up like they should have been?
I think that if the Russians actually attempt to detonate a nuke from their arsenal, it just might be a dud.
If it becomes verifiable that Russia failed to maintain their nukes, Russia no longer has a nuclear deterrent.
This is why they haven't.
@jeffowski Putin probably doesn't have confidence about the quality of his nuclear threat as well as confidence about the quality of information he has about the quality of his nuclear threat.
@heyoka —modern nuclear weapons have much much less radiation and fallout due to their much higher efficiency. Fallout is essentially unspent fuel that got blown apart before full fission happens. With deuterium-lithium hydrogen bombs, there is much less fallout and radiation. You don’t want waste the blast potential by creating radiation instead of heat.
@P0llyticks -- I am posting on the move from my iPhone with no good way to do the Alt-Text.
When I get home, I come back and do the alt-text.
The other alternative is to actually do the alt-text and post it like @Leonore5506
I mean, between your two comments, you typed MORE to complain than actually helping. That was your contribution.
The Kansas Wheat company, in the midst of the Great Depression, realized that the poorest families were reusing their sacks (containing flour and grain) to sew dresses for women and girls, so to make them more captivating they decided to print them with floral and colorful motifs.
The initiative was a huge success: they made sure that the ink used for the logos would fade after a simple wash, and some bags even had the patterns already drawn on the fabric, ready to be cut and sewn.
