[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not that the truth matters to the delusional people of this forum, but the main schism in Putin's administration is over hardliners' push to use tactical nukes in Ukraine. Highly influential longtime insiders like Karaganov, whom most of you have probably never heard of, are advocating ending the war by making an example of Ukraine so Europeans think twice about continuing their campaign against Russia. Putin is the one counseling restraint because, lawyer that he is, he actually believes in observing the treaties on non-use of nukes and is worried about the precedent that using nukes could set for the ongoing Middle Eastern conflicts that Russia has an interest in. Anyone who cares about Ukrainians had better be rooting for Putin to stay in power because any would-be replacement would be much further to the right than he is. [/quote]

Use of a tactical nuke would be the desperation move showing Russia lost.  What's the value in conquering a devastated irradiated wasteland of your own making?  It doesn't even serve as a "buffer" because NATO weapons have the range to fly straight over Ukraine.  Russia's "hardliners" are clearly idiots who need some sense slapped into them.  I don't know why Putin doesn't just have them served some polonium tea or "fall out of windows" the way he does to journalists, critics, dissidents and other political opponents.[/quote]
You don't seem to understand the difference between tactical nukes and the sort of nukes America used in World War II. Please do some reading and try to catch up. [/quote]
