Oh, that? That's simply the strategy of Mad Men. The problem is, he really is mad and has thousands of nukes. The self induced detachment from reality like Angela Merkel suspected in 2014. In reality a corrupt second class paranoid ward boss of a corrupt second class paranoid former major power. With thousands of nukes. And he probably thinks his time is running out to establish a Russian empire in his lifetime. Despite thousands of nukes. Do you recognize the repeating pattern above? Thousands of nukes. So yes, he will use nukes if there is no other option left. There will be a Russian Empire or there will be nothing. Your choice. Pray some fraction from the Russian power apparatus eliminates him in time. But I doubt, there is anyone left, not infected by the same illusion.
