    Why not just launch them now then?

        The poster said he would sacrifice a few cities to take down a western power. He could do that now.

            The criteria given by the other poster for Putin to use nukes is currently met. So using their logic, he should launch them now. I’m asking why he doesn’t.

              No the criterion is a war between NATO and Russia. That criterion is not met.

                I don’t see why war is necessary to achieve the states goal, but assuming it is…why is war necessary?

              Necessary criteria isn’t the same as motivating criteria.
