re: Don’t be surprised if Russia uses a tactical Nuke soon

Ehhh, I don't even think Putin is that dumb, blind, or unhinged. He knows the moment he brings nuclear weapons in any form to the battlefield, the entire world is against him. He has waning favor with many factions and several other nations right now, he'd lose it in a heartbeat if nukes were brought out for the first time in 80 years.

I just don't see it happening for political reasons above all. Right now he can claim he's fighting a just war to free slavs that want to be Russian, de-nazifying Ukraine, and keeping NATO off his borders. It certainly seems like he's winning this confrontation handily and has the upper hand.

Start dropping nukes - even tactical - the whole world suddenly shifts against Russia and most likely WWII kicks off.
