Russia threats of nuclear strike

I agree Smog, the only options he has left are to wait it out as a war of attrition (against both Ukraine and the West) or to save face, stop and say we've achieved the objective of the Donbas region. In the same way the West can't really afford this war, nor can Russia. There will come a point when even his closest allies explain to him he can't go on as Russia is suffering. Then it becomes a case of his resolve being tested. Does he, as he's stated many many times, really have the Russian people's interests at heart, or does the veil drop and he's exposed for what everyone else knows him to be? If its the former, the West win. If it's the latter, the Russian people will, eventually, turn against him.
