“why on earth would they launch a tactical nuke at Poland? That makes no sense whatsoever”
**************
That’s not how Medvedev see’s it:

I can find maniacs in DC spouting the same type stupidity all day long. Should the Russians say, OMG, look what Lindsey Graham, Hillary Clinton or JOE BIDEN said about defeating Russia regardless of what it takes (BEFORE 2/22), we better nuke them now! Don’t be a fool, listen to what Putin has consistently said for 20 years and believe it. He has carried through on every promise of reactive action. He does not bluff. He has made it crystal clear when he will cross the nuclear threshold. Medvedev is a joker like Graham, Clinton and BIDEN throwing red meat to the maniac warmongers who make up a small portion of both our populations.
I’m sorry, I misspoke. I should have said, don’t take what I believe is a foolish position. Sorry.
