Many thanks. Travis is difficult to convince on this :) It was Putin and his TV media spokes-stooges who love to curry favor with The Boss. Who brought up nuke use first.
If you missed this. And I read about this. -—>>>

You almost got it right. The British Intelligence theory is, that by constantly publicizing and playing up Putin’s stupid nuke talk, that this handcuffs Putin from ever using them. This is the “predictive programming” that is going on.
(part of this clever Brit psyching out of Putin. Handcuffing him on nuke use. Was that Putin might explode a nuke over the Black Sea to show seriousness of intent. Ridiculous but colorful. As seen in UK Daily Mail)
******And it was Rus who destroyed their own pipeline. Actually, Germans paid half.

Putin gave the first nuking threat on the day he first invaded and then 3 days later put his nuclear forces on alert.
