Instilling fear to gain more control, classic weak dictator.

I hope his senile ass is crossing the line to the point that the people of Russia are more afraid to leave him alive. That said, I had hoped that point was also several years ago, so I'm ashamedly not very optimistic right now.

Russia amps up nuclear theatre. FTFY
-
Putin does this because it works. His whole motif is deception. We're too naive to properly deal with that scumbag.

- Use tactical nukes in Ukraine
- get sanctioned out of existence/bombed back to the Paleolithic era
- ????
- Profit

He won’t just fling nukes to Ukraine. If he’s going to do that he’s going for much more. He also doesn’t care if 95% of the world suffer from the nuclear fallout
-
Given the effectiveness of the ruzzian orc army and preparedness of NATO to meet their threats, I wouldn't be surprised if most, not all the silos were hit before they could even launch.
-
"Nuclear fallout" in modern nukes is isolated to the area they hit. As such, modern nukes aren't going to irradiate the atmosphere that would lead to a Fallout video-game style world.
What they will do is kill a f*** ton of people and thermally destroy a specific area REALLY hard. If you're in the blast radius, you won't even know it. You'll be dead from the shockwave so fast you'll have literally less than a second of confusion before you get turned into meat mist.

I believe the idea is:
- Mention nukes and grab everyone's attention
- Run social media campaign ("oh noes,
<insert undesirable politician or ideology>
is leading us into war with nuclear power, they bad") - Have bought politicians and lobbyists push to reduce sanctions or block additional sanctions
- Profit.
.
But increasingly, I see step 2 fail and people simply hate the guy more for his destructive megalomania, as they should.

We know how the last "military drills" went. Better to launch some preemptive strikes on those positions, before they can fire them towards Ukraine.
-
i don't think the nukes are where the drills take place, that would be quite stupid
-
Unless you intend to actually use them while covering for the launch with alleged "drills", just like they covered for the invasion with alleged military drills. Either way, you would still hit Russian troops in any case anyway.

What I don't get is why anything these guys are saying makes the news. It's changing every day, and it's always a lie. They know it, everyone else knows it, it doesn't make any sense to write about it.

Fear is the word

I thought bird is the word

Sounds like some perfect targets for ATACMs with cluster munitions. Liven up those drills for the orks.
-
If he nukes Ukraine he's not going to be able to use it
-
Can we use up one of those rods from god from the Reagan era? Maybe then he’ll at least have contributed to one good deed
-
Never put em in space, as far as I know.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia on Tuesday announced it has started tactical nuclear weapons exercises near Ukraine, as Moscow again accused the West of being "provocative."
The Kremlin's Southern Military District troops "are practicing combat training tasks of obtaining special ammunition for the Iskander operational-tactical missile system, equipping launch vehicles with them and covertly advancing to the designated position area in preparation for missile launches," Russia's defense ministry said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has made veiled nuclear threats toward the West for years, since he began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, leaving tens of thousands of people dead, and towns and cities in ruins.
Western allies have supported Ukraine with military equipment to help Kyiv fend off Putin's aggression.
Military personnel "involved in the exercise practise equipping aviation weapons with special warheads, including the Kinzhal aeroballistic hypersonic missiles, and flying into designated patrol areas," the Kremlin added.
Earlier this month, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov accused French President Emmanuel Macron and "British representatives" of provoking Russia's nuclear escalation, after U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron said during a trip to Kyiv that Ukraine could strike Russia with British weapons, while Macron has floated the possibility of sending Western troops to fight in Ukraine.
