Putin's deranged Hiroshima threat in conversation with Macron

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Selling huge amounts of cheap oil and gas, buying weapons, and generally acting as a thorn in the side of the West, Putin has been a useful friend for these countries, which have not yet denounced him in the United Nations.
48% : Putin only has four allies in the United Nations today - the paradises of Syria, Belarus, North Korea and Eritrea - but 30 that regularly abstain in votes rather than condemn what is happening in Ukraine.
39% : So far, China, India, Iran, Pakistan and several other major countries upon which what is left of the Russian economy depends, have indulged Putin to a far greater degree than they would have if it had been a democratic Western-leaning nation that had transgressed so foully against every decent international norm.
37% : Yet were Putin to let off a nuclear bomb, all of those countries except Iran would be forced to sever ties with Russia - partly because of their own on-the-record denunciation of nuclear first-use, but also because the revulsion would be felt strongly by their own populations.
