Why Russia Can NEVER Use a Nuclear Weapon

Russia has threatened to use nukes over 40 times since they invaded Ukraine, with many famous "nuclear red lines." But the volume of threats has been so large, many people have begun asking the hard questions. In this video I explore the true state of the Russian nuclear arsenal, and whether or not its actually a credible threat. I bring in examples from the Cold War and nuclear doctrine, then go all the way down to the individual psychology of Vladimir Putin. Want to support my work?
