Putin Cornered as Ukraine Strikes Deep Russia - Jason Jay Smart

[TexasTowelie]

Nuclear threats from Russia have become a central talking point in the Ukraine war. Many people fear the potential for nuclear escalation, but an in-depth analysis of the situation suggests these are empty words. The Russian military is increasingly divided from the Putin regime. A nuclear strike would carry too much risk of failure and would likely cause the very collapse Putin fears most. It would turn key allies like China and India against Moscow, severing vital economic lifelines.

The use of drones has become a paradigm shift in modern warfare, as Ukraine targets Russian oil refineries and infrastructure deep within the country. These attacks are not only weakening the Russian economy but also changing public perception inside Russia. The Kremlin is fighting internal insurgents like Atesh, and the FSB is arresting generals. This internal strife, coupled with ongoing attacks, puts the Putin regime on the ropes. The nuclear saber-rattling from figures like Dmitry Medvedev is a calculated performance to make Putin appear more sane and reasonable to the world. Ultimately, these threats are a sign of weakness, not strength.
