A well thought out essay. One reason Ivan's defense minister was talking tactical nukes last month.

Methinks the Bear no longer hibernates.

NATO can handle Russia on the nuclear front also.

Tactical nukes will be easy to use against an invading Russian Army, but difficult for the Russians to use against the military defenses and assets in 28 various nations. Remember, this is about Russia invading us, no one is invading Russia.

Why does everyone seem to think that Putin suddenly wants to destroy himself with nuclear weapons by attacking NATO with a small weak military, and thinking that he can nuke America and the 27 other nations of NATO Europe into surrendering, because he lacks a sufficient Army, Navy, and Air Force?

Where is the sense in this absurdity that the Soviet Union will now be more successful than ever and take over Europe because after almost 60 years of them being around, they suddenly remembered that we all have tactical nukes?

There is no such thing as a tactical nuclear missile, as their use will be followed by strategic nuclear missiles.

The “tactical” portion won’t last more than 4 hours before the entire balloon goes up.
