So you can have large single points of failure? Makes no sense.

Maybe you meant invest in nuclear weapons.

They needn’t be that large. You can put one on a submarine.

"nuke" means a nuclear weapon

That was the most reasonable interpretation of what I was responding to.

How it will protect from russian tanks advancing towards the capital of your country?

Nukes are useless in defense: the cannot be used anyway.

Nukes are arguably ONLY useful in defense (and deterring another from attacking). Using nuclear weapons against an opponent that also has nuclear weapons will very likely lead to a nuclear exchange and the decimation of both countries. It’s suicide, and so no one is going to do it unless they have nothing left to lose. A nation under attack, facing an existential threat, and about to be overrun, is in exactly that circumstance.

And yeah, maybe the defending countries leader isn’t willing to end it all, and maybe try collaboration or partisan resistance. But if you were the attacking country, would you be willing to make that bet? Or would you hesitate?

You use tactical nuclear weapons, as was planned by NATO in case of attack of Warsaw Pact tanks through Fulda Gap

In reality this escalates very fast into all out nuclear war. Which is why you don't see wars between two nuclear armed countries. There is no winner in a nuclear war.

The idea is that if you promise to drop nuclear weapons on any country which attacks your capital, Russian tanks will not attack your capital. Whether this is a wise strategy is unclear, but countries like Pakistan[1] and Israel[2] have employed such a policy, and none of their unfriendly neighbors have yet managed to send tanks into Islamabad or Tel Aviv.

That may work on weak western state, but not on crazy russians. If they were wise they wouldn't invade Ukraine but simply bought it like they did with Belarus. Would be cheaper than war!
