Putin knows that IF he used even a low yield nuke in Ukraine, the US would decimate his ability to make war, without using a single nuclear device.
Russian targets would be obliterated with conventional weapons, in order to prevent Russia from using even one more.
Putin may be many things... but he is NO dummy. He doesn't want to end the human species anymore than anyone else does. Call Biden what you want, "Dark Brandon", "Sleepy Joe", whatever. But he has very good advisors, and is willing to listen to them.
If Putin uses nukes, it won't be "just one". Because he knows damned well what would happen. Again, he's many things... stupid is NOT one of them. If he's going to "drop the bomb", he'll go "all in". Many of "those in the know" have already analyzed this scenario. There isn't anyone who thinks Putin is doing anything other than "making threats", in the hopes that the West will "back down".
As for the Kursk invasion... That's likely to draw Russian troops away from Eastern Ukraine, in order to drive the invaders out. I could be wrong there.... but's logical. | |
