Ukraine is NOT part of NATO. Would we use tactical nukes to defend them?

US has accelerated deployment of new B61-12 nuclear bombs to Europe: first weapons will arrive in December. NATO was briefed on decision earlier this month. I spoke with @BryanDBender at @politico about what it means. https://t.co/hTod6wiPUX

We're rushing new tactical nukes to Europe? Would we use them to defend Ukraine? All I see is escalation. Russia has NOT indicated that it will strike any NATO country, yet we continue to see saber rattling as if they're about to charge over the border. Instead of working to ensure that this conflict is contained inside ONE country, we see many people agitating to make it a regional war. The idiocy never ceases to amaze.
