Obviously there be a consequential response. let s be frank about it putin s got to think about this himself. if he is a tactical nuclear weapon is it likely the war would be expanded because of that? the answer is yes. is it likely that nations that are not neutral about russia conducting this invasion in ukraine, to name two prominent ones, india and israel would they change their view of using tactical nuclear weapons? the answer to answer to that is i m sure there be a change of further isolation further sanctions on putin. there s a lot of options he would have to consider before he does something like that. and while this thing is not going well for him, to sake tactic of nuclear weapon with the consequences would be which i think be considerably worse than what is happening right now, i believe rules out the use of a tactical nuclear weapon.
