    If the US was going to nuke Russia, why on Earth would it need Ukraine? It already has Finland, Estonia, and Latvia if it wants a friendly launch site that’s on the border, or Turkiye or Romania if it just wants somewhere close. Besides that, the missiles are “intercontinental” ballistic missiles; they do not need to be on the border. This explanation does not hold up in the slightest.
