It would be the beginning of the end of him. It would be a different story though if missiles were actually launched by the USA rather than Ukraine.

We haven't fired it - we have supplied weapons, as we have done throughout the war. Western weapons have killed thousands of Russian soldiers already.
British weapons are used all over the world by other countries, we aren't at war with each country on the end of them (thankfully!)

With love mate. Are you serious? If you are. Don’t be. Russia have been threatening to nuke the UK for ages on domestic TV. They do it every week. They won’t because the second the attack NATO they’d be vaporised and Putin would be dead.

well there's some people who believe he is very ill and on the way out anyway so not entirely sure its wise to be seen to be provoking him even if we do believe its all empty threats.
he hardly seem the most stable and rational person, not sure I want survival relying on some lunatic not thinking I'm on the way out so I'll take everyone else with me!

An attack doesn’t necessarily mean Nuclear.
And anyway, he launched an ICBM the other day. NATO/America would’ve detected its launch. They wouldn’t have known it was only carrying a conventional bomb, rather than a nuclear warhead for which it was designed.
The initial reaction was to do nothing
Technically it wasn't an ICBM, it was an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile and Russia informed the US of the launch. And it wasn't even carrying a conventional bomb - it was basically carrying fireworks!
It was pure sabre rattling from Putin, again. It's kind of worked I guess as a lot of people seem convinced we're now on the brink of nuclear war, but we are no closer.
It was a very expensive $50m launch of something they apparently have a very low stock of just to show his audience at home and admirers around the world that he's a big strong tough man.

They probably could work out where it was heading.

Any conflict with Russia would around while before it became Nuclear - either way nothing will happen - China is pullling the strings and XI is not too happy with Putin

"Russia's "meat-grinder" tactics, the ISW says, mean that Moscow is losing more than 50 soldiers for each square kilometre of captured territory."
Absolutely astonishing statistic. What a pointless waste of life. If only the people of Russia knew the reality of what is happening.

Interesting commentary on BBC news that Russia advancement is continuing
Ukraine view that Biden has been supplying enough arms to keep the war going but will not let them ever win - just keep death going (well I never)
Biden I didn’t realise last month was furious they wouldn’t enforce conscription of 18 year olds in Ukraine.
