Every day the war in Ukraine goes on is a loss for Putin and Russia. And at this point, Putin might be scared and backed into a corner. He has reportedly replaced over 1000 staff members and makes others taste his food for fear of poisoning. He has also committed 75% of Russia’s soldiers to the war, which is insanely high and difficult to manage. On top of that, Moscow has said they no longer intend to occupy Ukraine, but rather set up a neutral nation; not something that was planned at the start of the invasion. The issue: if Putin is scared, does that make him more likely to use chemical or nuclear weapons?
