Russian lawmakers authorize Putin to use military force outside the country, Part II

I think that discovering the conventional explosive for the initiator stage was stolen out of them would be more likely than an accidental detonation, but we'd likely never hear about that, barring the "scorched metal cone" scenario. The actual radioactive material would be much harder to extract or transport, and if any had gone through the black market that would have raised a lot of sound and fury on all sides.

I ave to agre that a failed nuclear strike is probably the worst scenario, though, because if there's anything that would push other nations into actively going operational instead of just supplying Ukraine, that would be it, and once that party ball pops open there's no stopping the confetti from flying every which way.
