    That article mentions “nuclear” once.

    I believe when facing NATO, Russia would not hesitate to use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield.

    NATO vs Russia is a completely different conflict without the US in NATO.

      I don’t think russia would use nukes. That would open them up to retaliatory nuking. France and Britain both have nukes and the russian border is a lot more porous and a lot longer than the european ones. Much easier to get a nuke to moscow than to london.

      France and uk have plenty enough nukes to assure the mutual destruction of russia.

        I’m not saying NATO would but they did intervene in Kosovo. That was not defensive. There’s some wiggle room in being a defensive pact.
