I would imagine China have had his ear about that, they want a continued market (the west) for their goods and no radioactive rain falling on their territory, they want nuclear destruction of the world just as much as everyone else apart from putin obviously but if he hit’s that button what does he win? assuming the weapons actually work due to the years of corruption and siphoning of funds.
A tactical small nuke will just speed up the delivery of ATACMS and suddenly everything 300k over the border becomes vulnerable.
The west isn’t going to sit on it’s hands if the stakes are raised, Ukraine will have anything it wants for a ground/air war at it’s disposal., exactly the opposite of what putin wants to happen.
We won't need to worry about heating our homes this winter, as they'll be super-heated for a few moments before being flattened?
