Is Putin crazy enough or have the balls to use nukes against Ukraine?

I hope not. Seems like he’s being backed into a corner as Ukraine penetrates deeper into Russia.

Ukraine cant even retake their own territory

Why hasn’t he done it already? What would Ukraine or the world do? Nothing.

What happened to their huge stockpile of hypersonic missles?
Posted on 8/24/26 at 10:26 pm to Rip N Lip
Hypersonic missiles are expensive. I they think can build them a lot cheaper than we can but they are still way to expensive to be shooting at just anything that moves.

I always wonder what his generals are telling him. No way he gets even half-truths.

Why would he want to create an environmental destructive radioactive situation with Land he wants?

Kiev is a stationary target.

What I said was a figure of speech. Meaning hypersonic missiles are just too expensive to make to be shooting them at every target they can find in Ukraine to shoot at. Missiles like that are reserved for certain kind of targets that rise to a certain level of importance.

Maybe. Ya know an unused weapon is a useless weapon.

He won’t do it. If he starts using nukes then that could pull Europe into the war.
He should learn from history. The Soviet Union tried to hid the fact that there had been an accident at Chernobyl. They hid it for days. Finally a sensor in Finland, Sweden, or some country in that region of Europe started picking up radiation in the atmosphere. The Chernobyl plant was leaking radiation and it was spreading all over Europe. The radiation even made it to the Soviet Union. If Putin wants to use nukes then he should at least be aware that radiation and nuclear fallout does not recognize borders. Once that stuff makes in into the winds in the upper atmosphere those winds can carry that stuff anywhere including Mother Russia.

Putin is definitely crazy and doesn’t do things that make any sense whatsoever. So I’m sure that option is on the table for him. Lunatics like him don’t think logically. I mean he’s preached for years now at how Ukraine is an existential threat to the mighty Russia.

And a third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

He was crazy enough to start the Ukraine war with Obama in the White House and escalate it with a dementia patient, Obama proxy as POTUS eight years later. All while surviving Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.

If Russia wanted to they would run over Ukraine

Are you saying they don’t want to?

I think it’s pretty rational: escalate to deescalate. The only competitive advantage Russia has is nukes and a tactical nuke in the right spot would make everyone come to the table and the shock would paralyze anyone from retaliating despite the tough talk.

Hmmm. Does he know there's such a thing as wind?
