Does the term m.a.d not apply anymore? I’m willing to bet Russia would be to scared to use an actual nuke knowing the repercussions.

Use of any nuclear weapon would produce an atmosphere of frightfulness .Many atrocities are purposely made senseless and as to accentuate the fear of the perpetrators.They make it senseless so even after the initial shock of the act, the memory lingers on.The reputation of being cruel many times proceeds the army and can sometimes induce panic and sometimes submission.

😂 we don't really have too many good sources about the true effectiveness of their nuclear Arsenal I would Hazard a guess that a lot of their previous nuclear stockpiles are unusable because they Bluff and Bluff when you call them on their Bluff you realize just how unprepared they all are

Ok let's just overlook M.A.D...and the US going with 'appropriate ' response..

U.S. already said if the russia uses nukes, it would be gloves off time, sans our own nukes. Hell, if radiation drifts to NATO country, it's article 5.

Soviets had similar plans to use tactical nukes to push nato forces back, which is why cbrn resistance was important for vehicles and soldiers during the cold war.

If Russia did that and if they got the desired response, where would that leave us? It would leave us in an unacceptable position. We would have to respond and make sure that Russia didn't get the desired outcome. Our response would have to deter Russia from trying it again and anyone else from trying it at all.

For perspective, remember the weapons used against Japan had 15 and 22kt yields repectively. Tactical?

Can y'all just go do some research so y'all can know the truth. Y'all listen to people with cross referencing what people is saying. Other than Russian there are other countries that don't tell the truth countless of times way more than Russian.
