Some Possible Options for Dealing with Putin's Nuclear Threats

 Some Possible Options for Dealing with Putin's Nuclear Threats

1. NATO quietly should be training some of Ukraine's nuclear engineers in the use of some of NATO's nuclear weapons.  Presumably the training should not require large amounts of time, but there will not be time for the training after Putin uses nuclear weapons.

2. Some NATO nuclear weapons should be given to the Ukrainians, with the codes for unlocking the safing mechanisms enabling their use NOT given to the Ukrainians until a possibly later date.

3. After the NATO nuclear weapons are in Ukraine, depending on circumstances, it may be worthwhile to have the option of letting Putin know that Ukraine has nuclear weapons.

4. At any time NATO will have the option of supplying (or not supplying) the enabling codes.
