What if Putin just screams, “nukes nukes nukes!”? Should everyone immediately capitulate, thereby ensuring every other country in the world chases nukes for leverage?
His problem is nukes can only be used as a last resort when your country already has started to fall, otherwise you will trigger your own country to fall quite soon after (retaliation strikes, sanctions, fallout, riots, etc)
So nobody will take it as a serious threat in response to anything less than a major attack on the capital or equivalent.

This has nothing to do with the comment you replied to.
It was part of Putin’s comments on the Kursk invasion.

Hasn’t he threatened to use nukes multiple times over the war already? Ignoring the threats generally worked out.

OK, but I still don’t really get what this has to do with the original comment. I think it wasn’t really the right place to put this.
Using nukes is a cry for desperation by Putin, and that would look bad for him for the Russians and for the rest of the world.
