The tactical nuclear exercises that Russia is scheduling indicate that Russia is not so dismissive. La Reppulica is talking 100K or so Infantry, armor, air, etc..
Another nothing burger which the Western MSM is going bananas about.
The Russians carried out massive strategic nuclear weapon drills in October 2023, a far more serious practice than this latest tactical (ie small yield) weapons drill.
Unfortunately the threat of nuclear war has been ever present since the start of the SMO but recent events arenтАЩt particularly significant. The Russians are now in a commanding strategic position, something which wasnтАЩt the case in previous years. They know if they use even one tactical nuke theyтАЩll become pariahs on the international stage and lose all the support theyтАЩve developed to date. They dont need to, and wonтАЩt imo.
Keep telling yourself that.
Basic facts.

We'll see. This is an existential struggle for Russia, which is why nukes are on the table.
Nothing would delight NATO more.
