Russians do not think like liberal MSM and DNC people. Anything is on the table.

It’s always been the ace card up the sleeve. You don’t play it until & unless you really need to.

Not a good point. I know someone that lived in Minsk during the Chernobyl situation and they didn’t even get iodine pills, which is one of the primary times you’d need one. The Soviet civil defense stuff was just a joke. They talked it up, but when it came down to it (kinda like this Ukraine thing too) they fail hard.

Russia Would Use Nuclear Weapons Amid 'Existential' Threat: Putin Spokesman

As would any nuclear armed nation which is why it's insane to think that two nuclear armed nations can have a "conventional arms only" war with each other.

it would incredibly foolish as the winds blow inland toward Russia and Belarus from Ukraine...

You can throw a rock from Belarus and hit Chernobyl. It's practically on the border.

Ukraine is the size of Texas. Tactical nukes inland or towards Poland's border would be much less risky.

That’s how you make proper propaganda.
Who knows, what they are really going to do, but why not threaten the worst?
Unlike Brandon, who faithfully tells everybody exactly what he intends to do, so they can make proper cost/benefits analysis.

The ONLY way they would use Nukes is if they had nothing left to lose...

I've been told that Putin appears to be in poor health lately. If he knows he is on his way out, is he nuts enough to decide he wants to take as many of the rest of us along with him as he can? Are his generals sane enough to refuse the order and depose him?
