Russia Considers its Nuclear Options

With Ukraine under massive assault around Kharkiv, the United States has finally allowed Ukraine to use American-made weapons to strike back across the border into Russian territory.
This is a momentous epoch change, unthinkable in previous eras. Moscow has been left shocked, not believing this would happen. Consequently those voices in Russia arguing for nuclear escalation have gotten much louder, and Russia weighs its options.
Crispin provides a deep-dive analysis of Russia's current nuclear thinking, and explains why a Russian nuclear detonation is not just possible, but likely.

I think this scenario really makes sense. But Russians also understand that Chinese are absolutely against any nuclear escalation and China is the only one who could save them economically. I believe nuclear escalation is unlikely because from whatever angle you look, Russia would loose not only militarily but also economicaly. They would really become like North Korea.
