Ukraine has fired non-nuclear ICBM's which can only be operated with the help of US military and US satellites, so Putin has fired one back and had a clear "line in the sand" that nuclear powers entering the war means nuclear is on the table.

Russia has expressed their right to use nuclear weapons if a nuclear armed power takes a more active role on Ukraine's side of the conflict.

Putin has been saber-rattling this stance since Russia invaded Ukraine which happens to be 1,000 days ago.

I know, but every time there's a new mention of nukes people's ears perk up.

True.
My ears perk up as well because it's nothing to scoff at. I try to ignore it but will occasionally become too entrenched with the idea of nuclear war.
I'll go down a rabbit hole and get sucked into the prepper mindset, watch movies like The Day After and Threads, and ultimately become too anxious and paranoid in day to day life.
I try not to worry about it anymore because it's something that I can't control. Not to dox myself, but I live by a target that will most likely be one of the first hit and I'm at peace with dying.
See, I'm already starting to get sucked back into this paranoia. Haha. Damnit @k00b. :-)
