I think the appointments to the Supreme Court and the subsequent reduction in Women's' and LGBTQ rights is pretty bad.

Invading Iraq the second time was the single dumbest thing America had done since at least the Bay of Pigs.
That said, the longer-term ramifications of Trump are troubling: accelerating the decline of American government institutions by filling the cabinet of obedient suckups who were clueless about their roles, and turning the role of the presidency into a reality TV game show called “Who Do I Troll Today?”
Even if you’re in it for the lulz, the rise of LOL Nothing Matters Republicanism () is when government goes full on rooting-for-Monza anti-Allegri-ism.

Even in history books here, the typical thought process on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is, "yea, for Pearl Harbor, but god damn; we didn't know THAT would happen." I mean, obviously we tested them, but we really didn't know what was going to happen, it was all scientific conjecture. It wasn't until after the war and the Bikini Atoll occurred and we discovered Thermo-Nuclear weapons that it was insane. Russia responded with the Czar Bomba. blah blah
My only point here is there were about three people who didn't regret the nuclear bombs being dropped. Two were the pilots, and I think one was a General. J Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, almost all of the scientists who worked on the project went through huge issues with depression. They thought they were saving humanity and did nothing more but create a way for it all to end.
I'm one guy with one opinion, but trust me, you don't want any of this to turn nuclear. Not to say you do, but they aren't going to "find" nuclear weapons. Our response will be odd and unknown at best, I am sure we have people working around the clock on chances, reactions, problems, loss of life stats, shit you don't really want to work on for any longer than a passing conversation at a bar.
We are talking about potentially tens or hundreds of thousands of deaths of innocents in seconds.
Because one guy likes land a bit too much.

Well of course no one wants that, but the USA coined the phrase "You don't negociate with terrorists".
If putler gets away with "nuke Ukraine" or "give me land", he can do this all the way to Lisbon so he should be slapped in the face instantly for even thinking about it.
So of course, tactically, Ukraine "finding" nuclear weapons is the best way to de-escalate the situation.
There is no other way.

Everything is hypothesis until you test it. That does not change the fact that the A-bomb was designed with that specific goal in mind and that the US had a strong belief it would have such a devastating effect. Otherwise they wouldn't have spent all that time and energy building it and they wouldn't have gone through the effort of dropping it on Hiroshima.
Saying that they didn't expect what happened to happen is an outright lie.

It won't. Russia won't execute a nuclear attack, because it will not result in them gaining land. The only possible response the West would have at that point is immediate and utter destruction of Russia. That's the entire problem of nuclear weapons, you can't use them "a little bit".
