Russia only card is Nukes, they have nothing else. Very unlikely Putin's inner circle wants to perish in nuclear fire, Putin might but not his cronies.
Russians are now bringing 1960s tanks, they have only old shit left, lots of it, but very old. All new things like Armata tanks only exists on paper. All was stolen.
Russia would loose the war faster than anyone can imagine. And Putin now knows this. All they can do is bluff and use nuclear scare.
Agree, it is the threat of nuclear war that they have more than anything but the consequences of that are beyond comprehension and i can't imagine that step been taken

My guess if he orders nuclear strike, they will take him out.
