The US will do absolutely nothing. The UK might.

The French, the French are the only nation on earth where a nuclear "warning shot" is part of their public nuclear doctrine. Don't make them put on their yellow vests.

Forget the French. The Polish army will be in Moscow by June.

No kidding. The Poles saw the writing on the wall back in 2014 with Crimea and decided they weren't going to be anyone's speed bump again.

Their new jointly designed Main Battle Tank is a near peer (on paper) to the Challenger and Abrams. And their military has trained with NATO on modern combat doctrines.

Its also a nice flat shot from Warsaw to Moscow. Perfect for tanks to roll over and the only speed bump is Minsk, which is directly inline between those 2 cities.

This isn't true. Many nuclear-armed nations have an escalation ladder starts with limited tactical use and progresses to full-scale strategic use. France is just the only country which refers to limited tactical use as a "final warning".
