    That article mentions “nuclear” once.

    I believe when facing NATO, Russia would not hesitate to use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield.

    NATO vs Russia is a completely different conflict without the US in NATO.

      I don’t think russia would use nukes. That would open them up to retaliatory nuking. France and Britain both have nukes and the russian border is a lot more porous and a lot longer than the european ones. Much easier to get a nuke to moscow than to london.

        I’m not saying NATO would but they did intervene in Kosovo. That was not defensive. There’s some wiggle room in being a defensive pact.
