My take. Rather than drop a tactical nuclear weapon, Putin may critically damage the zaporizhzhia nuclear reactor and blame Ukraine for it. Idiot
I am going to take Putin at his word that he FINALLY has concluded that dropping a tactical nuclear weapon is not going to get him mileage. But what could maximally hurt Ukraine would be to deliberately damage the zaporizhzhia nuclear reactor, creating a MONSTER fallout situation, and then SO typically blame UKRAINE for the problem
Then, upon doing that, claim Kyiv is "irresponsible" and from there use multiple false flag and influence operations to coerce the EU, NATO, and N. America into dropping military support of Ukraine
Already Putin is trying to gin up support in the far right and the extreme left as to "proving" Ukrainian collusion in a manufactured by Putin humanitarian disaster
We need to have a ready response to Putin, you do this, YOU WILL PAY, PUTIN.

“Possible nuclear attack”: the expert commented on the arrival of the CIA director in Kyiv
Recommended by LinkedIn
The visit of the head of the CIA to Kyiv may indicate that Russia is preparing to use nuclear weapons.
Sergei Zgurets, an analyst at Defense Express, said this on the air of Espresso.
“I put the visit of the head of the CIA to Kyiv on a par with the talks between the defense ministers of the United States and Great Britain, as well as the calls of the Russian Defense Minister Shoigu to his colleagues from France, Great Britain and the United States. Russia is now actively pumping up some kind of “dirty bomb”, which should supposedly be applied by Ukraine. All this is interconnected. I want to remind you that the last time the director of the CIA came to Ukraine was on the eve of the Russian invasion. Then he cited evidence of how Russia would invade Ukraine,” Zgurets said.
The expert expects bad news from the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
“Now one gets the impression that we are entering a new stage of aggravation of the Russian-Ukrainian war, where the Russians’ escalation around the nuclear “dirty bomb” concerns, in my opinion, the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Yesterday there was a message about the incomprehensible actions of the Russians at the ZNPP dry waste storage. Yesterday there was a message about the incomprehensible actions of the Russians at the ZNPP dry waste storage facility. Therefore, now many experts believe Russia itself can use the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as a large-scale “dirty bomb” if Russian troops retreat from the occupied territory of Ukraine,” he added.
The last time the Kremlin leader threatened Ukraine and the world with nuclear weapons was on September 21. He then said the following:
“Anyone who tries to blackmail us this way should know that the wind rose can also turn in their direction.”
Foreign experts believe that Putin will not de-escalate and may use nuclear weapons. There was also the idea that Russia was blackmailing, and intimidating the West with a nuclear war.
