The importance of having tactical nukes
Great article on the importance of having tactical nukes. Very interesting points about the utility of the B61.
The Chinese and the Russians have maintained "battlefield" nuclear weapons. They clearly don't believe that "there is no winnable nuclear war" or "nuclear weapons are only for deterrence," like the US does. Putin would use a small nuclear strike against advancing NATO troops in a second, because he can't counter a NATO advance with his own conventional forces.
As proven 65 years ago, Russia is perfectly capable of countering a conventional warfare advance.

That was not Russia. That was he Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It is a much different world now and Russia is much diminished from the old USSR. Putin knows he cannot advance directly against NATO with conventional forces. Just look at the numbers. It is very clear.
5:48, I suggest you look at articles on Putin’s “escalate to de-escalate” nuclear strategy. But I think you’re right, Putin would not invade a NATO country. Ukraine is not in NATO.
Some rumors of a possible war with Russia if Ukraine is invaded. A crazy one I heard was that Biden and Harris where not in Nevada to just attend the memorial service for Harry Reid but where really in Nevada to go over our latest weapons at Area 51 to be used against Russia.
You want tactical nukes to defend your 401k? Yeah, that'll happen. War will wipe out everyone's 401ks, bank accounts, and stocks. That's what war does, when the US is invaded, as it will be with Russia or China.

3:14 Closer to 80 years ago, but who’s counting?

You're right, it's crazy.

I'm fully aware of the “escalate to de-escalate” thinking. It's garbage, IMO. He'll only do that if he thinks NATO will not back of after he does.
Right about now it should be clear that localized ”defensive" deployment of tactical nukes might have some value. Just look at the 401k jitters.
