Soviet battle doctrine devolves operational tactical nuclear release downstream to brigade and regimental level. It has been that way since I was in the US Army back in 1974.
NATO can't stop the ruskies with conventional arms.
At some point NATO will launch tactical nuclear cruise missiles, 155 mm artillery shells etc.
When that happens Putin already gave the release order before the invasion even started.
Nukes will be used, just as soon as the magnitude of the decisive and overwhelming nature of the ruskie victory becomes clear.
I doubt germany will fire a single shot. The baltic states with their pathetic forces will be crushed in 24 hours at most.
Poland maybe will last a little longer.
Conus will be dealing with blm antifa etc.
We will fail miserably and then be eliminated as a global power after suffering a decisive military defeat, which will take down the fiat farce dollar as global reserve currency.
Get ready. The
cometh, quite possibly by Thanksgiving or year's end.
