    Nearly 70% of Americans surveyed by the American Psychological Association said they “are worried the invasion of Ukraine is going to lead to nuclear war, and that they fear that we are at the beginning stages of World War III.”

    Well, It is a concern.
    Worry?
    There are plenty of things I am more worried about.
    I doubt this will escalate into the use of nuclear war.
    I very much doubt there will be wide-spread use of nukes.

    Realistically the worst outcome for Russia is to be scorned and isolated,
    which the USSR survived for a lifetime. They aren't worth invading.

    That doesn't mean they will respond to defeat rationally.

    I agree with all your points except that Russia isn't worth invading.
    I would say that is correct as far as the west is concerned. However,
    even as they seem to be on good terms with China, the Chinese still
    claim most of Siberia as theirs. The Chinese at some point may very
    well decide Russia is worth invading. Siberia does have a lot of
    natural resources that will become even more accessible with global
    climate change.

    It is good to see you still reading and posting Dean.
    Did you notice in my Quora post, the opinions
    of another 'old time' poster from here & the naval group,
    Juergen Nieveler ?
