"When do we send the tactical nukes?"

When TPTB currently occupying the US realize that a sea change is brewing for 2024.

It looks like all they have left is going through the vast inventory of thousands of US weapons and asking: “can we give them that? No? How about those?”

I see no “strategy” whatsoever.

From Russia’s perspective, how is this not an act of war against Russia? They might very well feel entitled to respond in kind.

But why now all of a sudden and not a year ago?

Remember it was No on F-16s at first

I’m quite sure those and everything else is being looked at now. Look for cluster bombs to be mass-shipped from wherever they can be to the Ukes as well as thermobaric bombs (fuel-air explosives) and the means to deliver them in quantity onto the Russian forces. We are indeed in uncertain times.

Although we retired the Honest John rocket system from our forces in 1993, several militaries in the world still use it, perhaps having procured it from US years ago.
Maybe we can send it to the Ukes via those friends inventories?

Hi.

“From Russia’s perspective, how is this not an act of war against Russia? They might very well feel entitled to respond in kind.”

Geo politics and strategy can be crazy sometimes. There are too many examples to site here. I’ll give you one in recent history, Vietnam.

The Chinese and Soviets pumped in weapons, manpower and rubles into the North to defeat the Americans

We should have bombed Haiphong and the Chinese boarder. We didn’t.

Weird world we live in.

Because they are arrogant, stupid and their DC-bubble-built assumptions have been successively and continuously blown away by reality?

Hey, that strategy-free strategy worked so well in the Afghanistan bugout, why not use it in the UKR proxy-war?

Obviously, the US believes there are too many children in Ukraine, as they believed there were too many children in Serbia and Yugoslavia.

They should start rubbing out decision centers staffed by Westerners.

Thermobarics with a topping of cluster munitions.

If the US elites can't rape those children and sell them into sex slavery, what good are they to Pedo Joe and his buddies?

I truly believe that’s what the West has planned for the Ukes to start dropping on Russian troops, border cities, etc.
Not endorsing it but these previous predictions appear to be coming true. God help us all against the laws of unintended consequences and runaway escalation. And yes, the Russians COULD unilaterally withdraw their forces and end the current conflict but they don’t appear interested in doing so so I’m not sure what continuously pointing that out does.

"Cookies" Nuland, Jake the Snake and "Short Pants" Blinken want World War III.

I hope they get it good and hard.

I suspect this is just to keep this mess going. Cash flow for the Big Guy and his henchmen, y’know.

Meanwhile, the “little people,” those who just want to make a decent living and raise their children right are the ones suffering mightily. :(

Given the UKe tendency for self-destructiveness, the Davey Crockett would be more appropriate

To: Reverend Wright

If the Russians used tactical nukes in Ukraine, would the West (US) respond in kind by using them on the battlefield FOR the Uke army (rather than giving the Ukes the bombs and operational control for them)?
Could such a scenario ever play out without escalation to larger theater or strategic nuclear exchanges between the Wst and Russia?
