Not surprising, really. It's the largest country on the planet. The one thing they have in abundance is land. And most of it is pretty unimportant, so they can afford to lose it.

Russian military has been dragged down by insane corruption and an intentional divide and rule strategy. dictators fear competence so they have to keep their underlings weak and divided. Pringle's coup is a pretty good example what happens when things slip. But they also need to be kept happy so they won't join up and bring a replacement so corruption is excused as long as they are loyal. So a lot of money that was supposed to make the Russian military capable was skimmed off through multiple levels until reality didn't match the news.
While the Ukrainian fighting sprit is a big factor, Russian incompetence and corruption which is something designed into the system by the Russians themselves is probably the biggest factor.

Apparently they are Regular conscripts, which each Russian male has to do, there's a good chance these are from Mosco/St Petersburg, as at the beginning of the war the Russians used these guys in Ukraine, there was a lot of blow back about this and from then on 'regular' conscripts were not sent to Ukraine. They've been used as guards mostly in Russian territory, but they've had virtually no training, and I would bet they've got next to no equipment as that would have been used for the main war effort. These soldiers surrendering will give Ukraine a strong bargaining hand as their parents are the only people who Putin 'cares' about (if he could care about people, which he can't, but he needs their support, or to be more precisely, he needs them not to overthrow him).

Even in light of all of those facts, a tactical nuke makes about the least amount of sense. And no - it does not feel like something big has to be coming unless you're just fantasizing in this weird framework where nukes are somehow on the table.

Russia will have a tough time accepting they are as vulnerable as their neighbors. The decades long commitment to a smoke and mirrors military buildup, further crippled by endemic corruption is playing out in an inability to even protect borders in an active conflict zone.
The reliance on the military to protect Russian communities will likely continue to erode with these incursions - to the benefit of Ukraine and other neighbors at similar risk.

One problem however is that the media will spin this invasion as more reason to keep up the war efforts and it gives more plausible reasoning to Putins rationale.
I'd say it has a negative effect on the psychological side of Russians minds, but it certainly has the ability to cause major distraction to the front lines.

But yeah, logically it makes zero sense, it'd be stupid, for all the reasons you list.
But Putin's feeling his back's against the wall, he's ordered the bombing of his own people before, experts who've studied Putin for years say that without a shadow of a doubt, he'd use tactical nukes.
This would probably be THE only chance he'd get to use them, nuking Ukrainians on Russian soil .

Russian brutality in their invasion was in the news almost as soon as they invaded. I haven't seen anything about Ukraine raping, plundering or abducting children yet and it's shitty to claim that because Russia did it as an operational strategy that Ukraine will be behaving exactly the same.

Russia using nukes in Ukraine would most certainly prompt intervention by NATO. Likely intervention using conventional means since NATO can easily defeat Russia without using nukes. This leaves Russia with 2 options, either retreat or escalate with more nukes. Both options are a loss for Russia (albeit the latter being a loss for everyone). Putin may be an evil dictator, but he's not suicidal.
Also, Russia pushing the nuclear suicide button relies on the assumption that their nuclear arsenal has been maintained enough to be functional and that military command is willing to go down that path with him. He may be the most powerful man in Russia, but no ruler rules alone. He could very well find himself Epstein'd if he were to go down that path.

It's been in my bingo since Ukraine stopped the invasion and the Russian military was shown to be incompetent and ineffective against just a few western manpads. Ukraine has already invaded Russia once in this war with a small group of soldiers and tanks about 12 months ago but they retreated after they took over some towns. I thought they would push into Russia at that time and take some rural villages that aren't protected. That would pull Russia soldiers from Ukraine and Ukraine could use the conquered Russia land to negotiate Ukraine's land back.

Maybe the world could take a vote & give the Palestinians the land Ukraine has "occupied" from Russia. This would end the current & any future Israeli/Gaza conflicts. If Putin wants to throw his self created problems into the world's lap, then let's return the favor & throw the world's problems onto Putin's lap.

Apparently Putin himself doesn't show much interest in the outside world himself, at all. Like, he is internet adverse, and gets all his reports delivered to him by his sycophants, who obviously are rarely passing along "bad news". He is solely focused on "Russia", which makes him blind to a lot of things.
Had his intelligence had the balls to say "a full scale invasion is a dumb fucking idea because NATO will respond after Crimea, let's maybe hold what we have for a minute and consolidate that"
Instead "Yes sir, 3 to 5 business days and Kyiv is ours"
It's wild.

Russian-in-exile here - They will never accept they have vulnerabilities, just more lies, excuses and more lies until it all comes crashing down on themselves. Corruption is a double edged sword in Russia - it allowed Putin to do whatever he want: invade Ukraine with no legal justification, but it weakened the army through decades of corruption. Every officer is incompetent, an alcoholic, or drug user. The only thing left to protect its borders is nuclear weapons but we dont even know how maintained they are and if used in Ukraine it would definitely invite a Nato response. The military is full of incompetent people and wont protect shit,rather rob people, they dont have the weapons or leadership for a proper army. Russia right now is a mafia state with nothing working and should be treated like a mafia state.
I got a story I heard from a distant relative who was some helicopter engineer at a base outside of Moscow. Their munitions depo exploded and blew out all the windows at the military base, so they had to replace all the windows. Once that was done, the munitions depo exploded AGAIN, blowing out all the windows again.

I didn't. But now my theory is that Ukraine is creating bargaining chips in case Putin wants to negotiate an end to the war. For example, if Trump wins the election and cuts-off Ukrainian aid.
This way, if Putin wants to negotiate, they can swap occupied Russian territory for occupied Ukrainian territory, and maybe Ukraine can get some reparations as well.

That is better. It would be their first instinct to use it as propaganda, yes. But are you there? Do you know what is happening? No. You believe, again, what is right in front of you rather than seeing both sides. In actuality, hundreds of ukrainians have already died, their advances have been halted on multiple fronts, such as on Tolpin, Zhuravli, and in and around Kursk. Multiple armoured columns of theirs have been bombed to shit. If you comb through multiple different telegrams you see its really fucking bad for the Ukranians. In fact idek why the fuck the headline is parroting them as if theyre crusading across the continent. They have apparently worsened their position, their logistics are being bombed to hell, it is bad and won't change the course according to multiple sources. Are they Russian? Most likely. It is hard to see when both sides are propagandising. This whole thing is sick. What I meant is that we have dehumanised those in Russia. That was my original sentiment.
