- Auracle 4y agoThat's a stretch. Imagine Russia could use their nukes without retaliation. They could have completely destroyed every military base and city in Ukraine before the invasion, along with the people's will to fight. Or just used the threat of doing so to take Ukraine piece by piece.
- bee_rider 4y agoThe consequences of using nukes are an inherent part of using them. We might as well imagine they could use their tanks without maintenance or supply lines, or use their infantry without providing any training.
- greedo 4y agoRussia has been continually threatening to use nuclear weapons and it hasn't affected anything. If Russia were to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, it would be a pariah for centuries, assuming it didn't lead to global thermonuclear war.

It's likely that there are people in power who think they can gain an advantage using tactical nukes. Some weapons are specifically designed for this purpose, such as the American ER weapons (PDF) https://www.llnl.gov/sites/www/files/1975.pdf https://www.llnl.gov/sites/www/files/1975.pdf
