Those worrying about nukes and WW3.
Putin's threats are empty. The reason for this is because Russia isn't under any threat.
He can at any point just withdraw his troops. The war will end. Nobody is coming for Russia. Nukes are a last resort.
If he was mad enough to use just one small tactical nuke (for a show of force/bravado), everything changes. He knows this. He also knows there will be no place on earth for him to hide. So unless he wants his final days to be in a bunker (sound familiar?), it just isn't going to happen.
Do you think if Hitler had nukes he wouldn't have given orders to use them as part of his scorched earth policy?
Whilst I agree with you, the danger is that we underestimate how mad the mad dwarf is. If he believes he's close to the end of his life he might bring hell to the earth instead.
