different than what many people envisioned when they think of nuclear conflict. they think of the cold war. so how exactly do you see this potentially playing out? if poot wutin were to take that? first of all, i think there s a slim possibility that he will do that, but i suspect in the low probability he did yoon practical nuclear weapons with a small yield, attacking logistical depots or perhaps command centers, even perhaps the capital of kyiv. they don t really have a lot of military value these days. they re meant as a terror weapon. they can easily replicate of effect of that artillery round they would use with other artillery, other missiles. so if he does that, the low chance he will, but if he does, it s meant to be a weapon of terror. not a weapon of military utility. i take your point. that putin can get what he wants
