I love me some Peppermint Patty.
If I had seen this invasión telegraphed since 2014 and I was a military with access to multiple nuclear reactors, possibly the odd plutonium core (100 year best before) misplaced and Chernobyl, many sympathisers who hate Putin in Russia...
I'd definately have done this, MAD works as well on the understanding that neither side, especially the bigger bully, want to take even a small hit and there could be many. It's a possibility at least. The movies portray helicopters detecting radiation etc. but that's BS, simple heavy shielding will completely conceal a radioactive source.

Were the Russians Hiding a Nuke in D.C.?

No, Kennedy continued, it was his understanding that the Soviets had brought the components of an atomic device into the building in inspection-free diplomatic pouches and assembled it in the upstairs attic. "If things get too bad and war is inevitable," he said, "they will set it off and that's the end of the White House and the rest of the city." I laughed. Still suspending his bite of fish, Kennedy said, "That's what I'm told. Do you know something that I don't?" No sign of mirth. The conversation moved on.
Five years ago I was lecturing in Staunton, Va., and retold the story. In the question session, a man in the audience rose and said, "You may not believe that story about the bomb in the attic, but I do. I worked for 25 years at the Defense Intelligence Agency, and that was our understanding." And now I can hear Kennedy asking again, "Do you know something I don't?"

It was much easier to deal with a nuclear threat as a kid, we were trained for it. I actually remember doing this.
Putin sending a message to the world with this move. I'll burn it all down if I don't get my way. I wouldn't take this lightly, at least not as lightly as we have become accustomed to in this age of internet shit talking. Could get real.

We had to do this nuclear drill of hiding under our desks as well in elementary school. As I got older I wondered just how a flammable wooden desk was going to protect us from a nuclear fireball in a classroom with one entire wall lined with windows.
Meanwhile Soros funding clandestine Javelin delivery operations to Ukrainians*. Posers vs real men really.
*probably
During the campaign I quipped a couple times that if Biden is elected and gives the order to nuke Moscow, that the people in Idaho better watch their arses.
Not necessarily all that funny today. Maybe it never was. "System failure" is a definite consideration. As well as "human failure."
