I wonder if the chance of tactical nuclear weapons being used would go up in a Russian civil war.

Especially if there's been reports it's seriously been considered in Ukraine.

Why risk nuclear armageddon when you can conveniently switch sides at the slightest occasion. It's not like armies marching to shuffle a few chairs in big offices were a matter of deep ideological conflict or worse.
Tactical nuclear weapons are very low yield bombs. You won’t start nuclear armageddon with those.
That's why I wrote risk, not cause. It's chain reactions all the way up the meta levels.
