Oh yeah…that would help a lot…/s
Even funnier is that your Kadyrov is 4 foot 5 and wears platform shoes.
Truer than you may realize. A significant portion of Russian culture comes from the Mongol hordess. You know - Genghis Khan?
Pimping for Daddy Putin. And when Putin doesn’t need him anymore (or expires), he’ll get exactly what his pappy got — Grozny go boom! LOFL.
You can be sure that if Patrushev takes over when Putin croaks, Kadyrov will have a date with an “accidental” fall from a hospital window shortly afterwards.
Putin: "I have job for you, tovarich."
Kadrov: "Yes, master."
Putin: "Is suitcase dropped in swimming pool. You and battalion retrieve it."
Kadrov: "And bring it to you?"
Putin: "Not necessary. Pool in Zaporizhzhia."
Putin’s ‘’army’’ is literally running away.
Males from 16 to 60 are fleeing the country.
Vlad is too stupid and prideful to accept the fact that he’s lost the war.
“Everything would be fine if it weren’t do bad.”
Words to live by...
“Here are Putin’s likely responses:”
-Take control of Baltics and Poland
-Take over Europe
(Break for Lunch)
-Take over North and South America
-Accept Africa into Russia
(Break for Dinner)
-Evening Parade in Red Square
-Personal Time
“Everything would be fine if it weren’t so bad”
Meme fodder?
Song lyrics?
When the Chinese crossed the Yalu River, General Douglas MacArthur urged the spread of radioactive cesium to halt the intrusion. His request was turned down in Washington.
“Everything would be fine if it weren’t so bad”
Hank Williams Junior?
These Muslim animals are almost worse than the mongols from the steppes.
And based on the maintenance we’ve seen for all of the other systems, how many would have to be used for one to actually work?
And does Russia even have such a thing as a “low yield” weapon in their inventory?

In terms of tactical nuclear weapons, Russian got from the former Soviet Union - it’s all from the Soviet Union. They have two artillery shells:
One is RD-4, it’s for 152mm howitzers, it can shoot ~70 kilometers and it’s 2 or 2.5 kilotons. For reference, I think smallest bomb in Japan in 1945 was about 15 or 16Kt; if it’s 2Kt, then it’s probably one shell is 1/8th of that.
There is the RD-5 for 203mm howitzer which is only 2 kilotons; I’m not sure why the smaller caliber is 2.5Kt. That’s just the information I got and the 203mm howitzer can shoot for ~50 kilometers, it’s 1/8th smaller nuclear bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, Nagasaki - whichever one had the smaller one, because they were not not the same in their capabilities.

Is there a timeline for that?
I think the idea of military super powers has been exposed as hollow rhetoric. Trillions of dollars to fight each other but no one is really prepared for an insurgency. Not that you get a lot of context in the media but Ukraine was not able to quell these regions for almost a decade. If they don’t want to be governed by you it’s not going to happen. Obviously the Iraq war and the Afghanistan wars proved that the U.S military can’t defeat an insurgency no matter how hard they try or how long they stay (to say nothing of Vietnam). This is all positive in the long run. It’s good to know that small arms can resist these absurdly large militarys. They are designed to fight each other and lay waste to cities, not occupation. (None of these countries can even governed their own countries as is).
Step dad who was in AF intelligence in Korea at the time said it was cobalt 60, not cesium, spread in a strip 1 mile wide across the entire border. Request turned down by Truman personally.
If conventional battlefield nukes were to be used there would be a problem with fallout settling in nearby NATO countries or in Russian areas.
I think battlefield neutron weapons would be used instead. Minimal fallout problems, variable kill-radius depending on altitude of detonation and yield of the device... a line-of-sight radiation weapon, no protection other than hydrogen shielding (water, basically) they are good area-denial weapons and effective against massed armor and troops.
I believe the US would have to beg some neutron devices from Israel to reply in kind as we don't seem to have any, at least any we admit to having.
