> no reason they will escalate to nukes.

Putin has shown restraint over past two decades, so he probably won't use nukes. Those who may replace him, real hardliners, may be less restrained.

Ask the people living in Georgia, Ukraine, and occupied Chechnya about how much "restraint" Russia has shown them.

In the context of geopolitics Putin is the hardliner. The other "hardliners" are all puppets that are used to give the illusion of dissent in Russia.

Actually people from Chechnya are fighting for Putin now. And the government of Georgia resist attempts to draw it in war with Russia like crazy, so they also appreciate the peace with Russia.

Interesting framing. Do you also refer to Donetsk and Luhansk under Ukranian authority as Occupied Donbass?
