This doesn't have to go nuclear, exploring ways Putin could respond. There is a lot of speculation that the US and other NATO allies are preparing to grant Ukraine permission to use western provided weapons to strike inside of Russian territory. This has prompted the expected concerns about a nuclear exchange but I don't think that's an immediate concern. For now we should consider alternative ways that Putin and Russia may seek to escalate up or sideways without triggering a larger response from the west. Something to consider at moments like this is that neither the United State nor Russia want an all out war with one another.
