Nice to see a 14 year old actually taking part in the world. Good on you man. Honestly, I really don't mean that in a patronising way. Too many people your age don't give a stuff.

The thing about wars is that annihilating a people doesn't achieve much. Wars are usually fought over resources. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that usually, despite the rhetoric used by politicians to whip the masses up into a suitable level hatred of the people that the politicians are asking them to fight, wars are predominantly about securing profitable territory, or defending it against aggressors. If you've nuked that territory, you can't occupy it. Russia sees an opportunity to win Ukraine back. Why would it nuke the former granary of the USSR? In that situation neither would win.
