There is the issue of tactical nuclear weapons too of course, but the same logic also applies, albeit it to a lesser extent.
Try telling Ukranians now tho that nuclear weapons "keep the peace"
Were it not for the threat of their use, this war would now probably be over.
I fear the death toll as it is may already have reached 200,000, over half of those being the dsead of Marioupol.

Cloud seeding is a very effective and preventive measure to combat nuclear fallout. To the detriment of many villagers, this is exactly what happened over Belarus to avoid Moscow being stormed upon by radioactive rainfall. This occurred as a result of the fallout from the Chernobyl disaster!

At the moment western Europe’s need for gas is quite low. In the winter when it gets a lot colder and darker, is when shortfall will begin to hurt. If industry needs to ration (work a 3 day week) then that will harm economies. The trouble with sanctions is they often harm those who are imposing them. So cutting off energy supplies to Europe harms the Russian economy too. The oligarchs who keep Putin in power may soon tire of declining fortunes, and initiate a change of leader (fingers crossed).
Chechnya is warlike but small, also strictly clan-based and therefore easy to divide and conquer ultimately,
Syria is not dissimilar in many ways.
They have not faced anything like Ukraine: a huge, united country. Moreover one which has been preparing for war with Russia since 2014. And one, crucially, with which we in the west can easiy identify.
The only serious dissent to Kyiv existed in regions they had already effectively annexed. What dissent there remained has nor largely transferred to hatred for Moscow.
It's now thought btw that the bomb that killed Luhansk's prosecutor general was an inside job: an IED in his office. Dissent there is growing as people refuse to be conscipted as cannon fodder.
No wonder Putin daren't declare a general mobilisation at home.
