None of those bombers had nuclear weapons uploaded, so this point of yours is somewhat misleading. Those bombers are multipurpose and have conventional missions as well -- such as launching indiscriminate missile attacks, as they have in both Ukraine and Syria.

This is not an escalation. This is striking back at the bombers who are trying to freeze Ukrainian civilians to death. Preventing civilian deaths even as one is winning a war is a legitimate use of combat power. By your "logic", the Allies in 1944 should have ceased attacking German U-boats trying to starve out the UK because we were clearly winning.
Yes, your point really is that senseless.

Must've been a random coincidence, and we should give the mob boss the benefit of the doubt. That's what you sound like. And Jeff Epstein killed himself too.
You admitted having no evidence. Own it.

No wonder you have so little credibility here.
