To be fair on the small nukes point, we use bombs with greater capabilities than small nukes as needed.
I agree with you, Poland is an interesting development.

I heard a pundit describe Russia's economy as basically "a gas station run by the mafia."
Heh.
Well... if the mafia had nukes.
Oh, we've certainly pursued non-fallout alternatives. I had to look up your claim as I would've agreed and was curious. MOAB ~11tons TNT; ruskies have FOAB ~44 tons (disputed)
The MOAB is the most powerful conventional bomb ever used in combat as measured by the weight of its explosive material.[27][28] The explosive yield is comparable to that of the smallest tactical nuclear weapons, such as the Cold War-era American M-388 projectile fired by the portable Davy Crockett recoilless gun. The M-388, a W54 nuclear warhead variant, weighed less than 60 pounds. At the projectile's lowest yield setting of 10 tons, roughly equivalent to a single MOAB, its explosive force was only 1/144,000th (0.0007%) that of the Air Force's 1.44-megaton W49 warhead, a nuclear weapon commonly found on American ICBMs from the early 1960s.

Davy Crockett (up to 20 ton yield)

Biden's style projects weakness and senility.
nah....he's been handling this Ukraine shitshow fairly well all things considered. Now if he applied himself on the domestic front....
Yep . Can't see Russia threatening the UK or wanting to draw them in as the English speaking nations stick together and then you'll have WW3 but France and Germany ...
Russia is also emboldened by China and China have global dominance aspirations .
