don’t think Russia would tac nuke the front line because it won’t stop the war.

That’s the only reason I think if they use, it would be on Kyiv or Odessa.

What makes you think using a tac nuke on Kyiv or Odessa would stop the war?

Sorry about that. I read every post in this thread and try not to repeat stuff, but I'll admit that I don't watch every video. But I also get a bit annoyed when people repost stuff for the 3rd time, so I'll try to be more careful.

Truthfully? International hesitancy to escalate and a frank inability of UA to coordinate anymore.

I’m not as certain china would condemn Russia as others here are.

I am not saying I think Russia will do it, I’m saying that the next few weeks are probably the highest risk and I don’t see a big advantage for Russia to nuke the front lines.

UA cannot retaliate equally to this and I don’t believe Russia is moving tac nukes to Belarus for NATO alone.

I disagree, I think the international world would be forced to react and respond against Russia. And I think that would involve more than just new sanctions. Russia cannot survive a war with the west. The west knows it. Russia knows it. The world knows it. Something like that would be the end of Russia.

And while China might not outright condemn, they'd be forced into a position where they would need to stop supporting Russia. While there's no doubt China is a world power, if they outright side with Russia at that point theyd be left on an island to starve with Russia alone.

It's resisiant and protected, not invulnerable. It gives the occupants a chance to survive over what would happen in an unprotected vehicle. It was never meant to be a substitute for an APC.

The sole purpose tactical nuclear warheads is to use on battlefield environments.

The enemy is advancing.
The settlement Urozhaynoye is defended by the OBTF "Cascade" (DPR). Units of the Ministry of Defense withdrew in an organized manner to the next line of defense. The military support the "Cascade" with artillery. There is no weather, aviation does not work. There are intense battles.
