I'm half convinced Putin wants NATO to get directly involved so that he can pull out of Ukraine and be like "We didn't lose to Ukraine, it was the West who once again oppresses poor little Russia"

If that's what he really wants, then I'm sure it could be arranged and nobody needs to get nuked. But it probably isn't.

I'm not so sure NATO wants to play directly into Putin's anti-West narrative.

Also why would anybody get nuked lol

They might give Putin that in return for his retreat from Ukraine. That would be the "arrangement". But again, I don't really believe it.

That's what Putin keeps threatening if NATO gets involved.

He warned about nukes if the west sent artillery, and then when they sent tanks and again over HIMARS, and guess what the threat was about sending jets?
