Horseshit.
Making sure every country on earth has nukes is way more likely to cause nukes to be used than beating the russian army out of Ukraine.
First -- Do his nukes even work? Or have they been replaced with cardboard "Nuke Go Here" boxes?
Also -- What's Putin going to nuke? He can try some battlefield nuke, and then have his army march through it? That's assuming that his troops have more than a week of training for "marching through a place we just nuked" Or maybe he'll nuke Kiev? I don't think that'd make much difference in letting russia gain ground. Or maybe Putin is planning on nuking Rotterdam because of the F-16s?
Nukes may make china and india stop supporting him, they may provoke more retaliation from the west. But nukes certainly won't change much unless the plan is to just glass the whole of Ukraine, in which case I'm pretty sure that France or England may accidentally glass Moscow even if the USA doesn't.

- cduzz 2y agoMy point is that Putin wants to live; he's unlikely to survive Moscow getting glassed, regardless of who does the glassing. So he's unlikely to convert all of Ukraine to a moonscape. And anything _less_ than glassing Ukraine is unlikely to change Ukraine's behavior or materially affect the special military operation's progress. Hypothetically, if Ukraine has a breakthrough after a massive collapse of the russian army, nukes will prevent Ukraine from going all the way to Lubyanka Square. But there's no way to use nukes to help the russian invasion any more than a shotgun will help with colon cancer.
