This war is economic suicide for Russia it didn't stop them. Nuking Ukraine and let the wind blow radioactive ashes and particles over Europe is a way out to say I lost, but so did my enemie and most of its allies. Which will probably also be pushed by the UN to restore Ukraine and deal with the refugee crisis. Also using a nuke would ensure NATO not going after Russia. I mean which country will invade another country which not only had enough nukes to kill every civilian in that country but is also willing to use it. The old system of bilateral trade ensures peace doesn't work anymore. |
They did not expect this to be an economic suicide. What they likely expected was sanctions similar to 2014, which would hurt their economy further but it would still be healthy enough for people of Moscow & St Petersburg to be satisfied and elite could continue to steal money from people.
But the response from the West was much, much stronger. Now it's obvious Putin feels his position is threatened. Propaganda went into overdrive, it's desperate, he knows he fucked up everything.
Nuking Ukraine and letting a wind blow radioactive waste everywhere is not a way out of anything, not even Russian leaders would be dumb enough to use that kind of logic. Using a nuke would ensure they'll lose whatever support they have from countries like China.
