If he launches ICBMs then he risks getting Moscow, St Petersberg etc.. flattened by NATO nukes.

The use of a tactical nuke certainly isn't inevitable and the next step after a conventional NATO response isn't known either, that could quite easily be Russia losing/going home.

Well you have to take into account Putin is a vindictive, sadistic **** who's been humiliated on the world stage. He absolutely detests the West and the Ukrainian forces who have messed up his plans. Trying to second-guess his intentions by extrapolating what is the logical and sane thing to do won't work (IMHO) because such reasoning doesn't apply to him. While it makes no military sense to use nuclear weapons I think it's more likely than not he'll be wanting to do just that simply out of spite.

Is this like when people said he wouldn't invade, and then when losing said he wouldn't risk mobilising and now say he won't use a nuke

If he really detested the West he wouldn't send his offspring to Western schools and allow them to be debased by the 'filth' of it's culture like the rest of the Russian hypocrites.

A strike is looking almost inevitable now. Not sure which city they would start with.

Don't be ridiculous, neighbouring Baltic countries have been handing out iodine since the war started and nothing has happened. It's called been prepared, and risk management. When you put your seatbelt on in your car you don't think to yourself "ok now it's inevitable I'm going to crash today" - don't be a doomer

If Putin loses, which is looking quite likely at the moment, he's a dead man and he knows it. I doubt anybody knows what he's really capable of. I'm hoping he doesn't try a nuke, but I also won't rule it out. Don't they have an 'escalate to deescalate' doctrine?
 
Putin pretends losing is an "escalation" and wants to use nukes as a "Simon Says" magic wand.

We all know he has nukes, but then, he knows we have them too.
 
Head of Luhansk (Illegally annexed), is saying for people to leave until the counter offensive is over, and the towns are liberated again. LMAO. That's right... RF and you destroyed it... now complaining about it.

Yep. Nobody thought he would be mad enough to invade Ukraine either.

That's obviously not the same. Remember the world thought they where army number 2 in the world. He bought into it himself. He not using nukes or tactical for that matter. To many needed to make that happen, to many in command have been back channeling.

Not really, it's the opposite in fact, the people who were saying he won't invade and he won't mobilise now seem to be warning about WW3 and nukes and arguing that Ukraine should hold peace talks right as it's gaining more and more of it's territory back. Of course Russia is very keen on that sort of rhetoric, just as they were keen on the "they won't invade" rhetoric previously.

There's a risk that he uses a nuke but there is nothing to suggest it's inevitable.

Yes, there is a clear risk here, the point was that it can't be said to be inevitable when there is nothing to suggest that it is, it's not clear Putin has necessarily taken a decision on the matter either.

Hopefully a bullet in the back of his head will solve the problem.
