Russia is Threatening to "Use the Nukes" Again (lol) - Paul Warburg [View all]



It's now becoming increasingly clear that Russia may lose this war. They aren't making progress on the front, and Ukraine is increasingly having success with strategic strikes, especially against Crimea and Moscow. This is leading a lot of people to ask the same question - if Putin feels backed into a corner, will he use his nuclear weapons? In this video, I look into this question deeply, analyzing the psychology of Vladimir Putin (and dictators in general) as well as the relevant lessons we can learn from history.
