Come to think of it, you're talking about Europeans, and all sorts of logic are possible.

So, if, God forbid, it comes to any strikes, then everyone must understand that Russia has the SPRM system,

an early missile attack warning system; the US has one too.

Nowhere else in the world is there such a developed system. We have one.

Europe doesn't have a developed system. In this sense, they are more or less defenseless. That's the first point.

Second is the power of the strikes. Our tactical nuclear weapons are three, four times more powerful,

than the bombs used by the Americans against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Three, four times.

We have significantly more of them in quantity, both on the European continent and even if the Americans bring theirs from the USA.

We still have far more anyway. But if it comes, God forbid, to something we really wouldn't want, I'll switch,

then, as you said, we'll reduce casualties, but they could escalate infinitely.

That's the first point. And secondly, of course, these very same Europeans will have to consider,

if those with whom we'd be exchanging such strikes cease to exist,

whether the Americans will get involved in this exchange of strikes at the strategic weapons level or not.

I highly doubt it, and the Europeans should also think about that, undoubtedly.
