Best time to attack would be the 24th. Wash9ington does its data dumps and the MSM will oblige by ignoring it or burying it un the back pages. People will take w or 3 week vacations straddling Christmas to New years. Some might have to fly back from Central America, the Caribbean, Europe or the western states. Within 2 or 4 weeks afterwards, a gas shutoff would have maximum damage with the cold temperatures. You don't have to bomb a city into smithereens to destroy the housing stock. On the bright side people will stop illegally entering Wester Europe. Britain might sink however under their weight. Or flip over.
Sadly for Mr. Kuleba, the NATO would never arrive in time
But nukes could arrive in time.
It is what they are for.
NATO and the EU will complain. Putin will slow doen the gas flow.
Lets look at past history responses to of this type of situation....
1. Hungary in 1956- Sternly complained.
2. Czechoslavakin in 1968- Sternly complained.
3. Ahfganistan in 1979- Sternly compained (no troops committed we armed the Muj, who subsequently hated us. No Olympics, a real big help.
4. Poland in the 1980's- we did nothing, supported with words and attitude.
5. Tianamen Square China 1989- Sternly Complained, but put them in the WTO, Favored nation status, hollowed out the USA.
6. Georgia in 2008- Sternly Complained.
7. Crimea in 2014- Sternly Complained.
8. Eastern Ukraine in 2014 and on- Sternly Complained, sent socks and MRE's.
9. Hong Kong in 2020- Sternly Complained.
10. Ukraine TBD- but we will complain.
Not sure If I missed any others.........
We are readying our stern admonishings and brushing up our armed with broomsticks response. Be afraid Ivan.
nukes would arrive in time but they would be flying in both directions

If the Russians made the mistake, the Chinese never would.
