    As the self appointed defender of Muslims, you should be able to credibly explain how Putin was defending Russias borders by bombing Syrian Muslim cites into smouldering rubble.

Any areas affected by Russian tactical nuclear weapons would thus be impassible for the Russians, likely precluding Russian advances. This consideration is another factor that reduces the likelihood of Russian tactical nuclear weapons use.

    I would not put it pass Putin to take the "if I can't have it neither can you" attitude. But fear of that does not mean we should stop supporting Ukraine. Putin needs to know that using nukes would ultimately cause his downfall.

    He has to get the military chain of command to follow his orders to deploy nukes.

    Yep but not following Putin could get you a firing squad.

    We've all seen the movies wherein the ' good guys ' refuse to launch. They're horseshit. Button-pushers are brainwashed .

    Wrong as usual

    Vasily Aleksandrovich Arkhipov was a Soviet Naval officer credited with preventing a Soviet nuclear torpedo launch during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Such an attack likely would have caused a major global thermonuclear response. - Wikipedia
    Trump laughably speculated he could stop hurricanes by dropping nukes in them. I am one thousand percent confident the military chain of command would have refused such an order.

    That's not a credible answer, I specifically asked you to give a credible answer for how Putin was defending Russia's borders by bombing Muslim cites in Syria to ash

    By the same token as the US defended America's borders by flattening Iraq.

    Remember- nuclear weapons are designed and built and deployed by madmen. You think that they're going to put sane men in charge of them ?
