ICBM intercontinental ballistic missile....I swapped  M and B and thus am a troll ?

I didn't say anything about trolling.

 

However I should point out that the use of intercontinental ballistic missiles is to target places located a long, long way away - usually on a different continent (the clue is in the name).

 

If Russia were going to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, they would be tactical battlefield nukes, not ICBM's.

If NATO/Euro/US  keeps up the provocation they may use them and thus WWIII ?

Does that make them any safer or less likely to be retaliated against with opposing nuclear weapons?

Depends what you mean by "safer," In terms of their actual destructive power, and the amount of nuclear fallout, they would cause less death and damage than an ICBM strike would.

 

They should still never be used, of course.

why do you feel it necessary to defend a autocratic terrorist country like Russia?

Because they where provoked...by the equally autocratic "terrorist" US/Euro/NATO

I think if you look with open eyes and mind that the provocation was when Russia (Putin) invaded Ukraine!

Nope the provocation started shortly after the fall of the Berlin wall/Soviet union collapse with NATO expansion culminating in the war in Ukraine...which BTW Russia has won.

NATO equates to members joining for the fear of being attacked by Russia, which would explain why there are more members now than at first when Putins army invaded Ukraine, the concept is not difficult, why are you finding it so!

How?

 

Continued east ward expansion of NATO, they have clearly said that NATO on the immediate Russian border is a red line...remember the Cuban missile crisis ?

NATO was formed after an attack by Germany not Russia.

Russia has no say in who joins NATO, it has nothing to do with Russia who joins NATO, for without Russia there would be no NATO! 

Of course they have no say in who joins NATO as they are not members

they can express disapproval of continuing NATO expansion toward their border.

I think you should beam yourself back up to whatever planet you came from as the history of this earth is obviously alien to you!
