The first nuke used in the looming conflict ahead will be a high altitude burst over uke land.

Then the death of Putin will be announced in the Kremlin and China will take over what remains of the Russian Far East.
Ever notice that the only people calling for and predicting Russian use of nuclear weapons are the most staunch of Russophilians?
Article doesn’t state what type of aircraft used, but if true, it says that airspace in the region is still very much contested, neither side having air superiority.
No one can win a war by first use of a nuclear weapon.
People who think so are wrong. Nuclear weapon use, even one, will lead to that—and every major power’s-death and destruction.
Putin isn’t stupid. If you admire him, you should know that.
They’re cruisin’ for a brusin’.
Well, that seems obviously incorrect.
The US had to use two to get Japan to surrender.
Now there’s an honest answer if I’ve ever seen one.
>>>>If I’m wrong, at least it’ll be quick.<<<<
Not quick enough for those who aren’t incinerated in the initial blasts.
Think about what you’re saying.
Yeah. Let's push him into a corner he can't get out of and call his bluff. The disidents in the Kremlin will oust Putin and turn over control of the disolution of Russia to the globohomos, or else they might, I dunno, give ukraine the nuking we are asking for. And then we will invoke total global nuclear annihilation because our expansionsist plans have been foiled.
Good thing that tired old irrelevant academic economist Tom Schelling isn't with us any more to try to talk us down from the ledge we are perched on. Thank God no one reads him any more or we wouldn't be in this pickle, Ukraine would be neutral, and we wouldn't be dumping gazillions of aid into a corruptocracy who are driving up real estate costs on the Mediterranean coast.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield:
Massive Russian Breakthrough In Chasiv yar l Ukrainian Defenses Are In Deep Trouble
They don’t have any choice they’re being hit from near their border
The war will end when Ukraine agrees to stop attacking Russian territory. If not, Russia will take as much of what is left of Ukraine to protect its territory.
Putin is intimidating the West so we won't send Ukraine all the weapons they need.
...and those here who survive will all be watching their hair fall out over the ensuing weeks.
People who think they can survive their own "first use" of nuclear weapons may be "wrong" - but can you guarantee that they know it? Or even care? It's more than a little entertaining to see westerners insisting they can predict the actions of foreign religious and political extremists; people who believe they can make such predictions, with consistent reliability, are also "wrong".
Personally, I think it is highly likely that nuclear weapons will be used again. It might happen in a way that average Americans do not expect, that might provide some measure of "plausible deniability" - picture a small freighter entering a port somewhere, and disappearing (along with the port city) in a mushroom cloud. Somebody would be blamed, but it might well be that country's enemy de jour, rather than the actual perpetrator...
Rep. Thomas Massie:
“I’ve been in classified settings with the CIA, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense.
They’re bragging about how many Russians have died and been injured.
I asked them how many Ukrainians have died and been injured, and they claimed they didn’t know.
That’s just a flat-out lie. They said they’d get back to me and never did.
Not only Americans are being fed propaganda about this war.
Congress is being fed propaganda by our State Department, our Secretary of Defense, and our intelligence agencies.”
