Any preemptive strike by NATO on Moscow that could credibility destroy Putin likely gets a nuclear reply.
I think watching the Wagner group leader who just started his own telegram group and the Chezchen leader starting to not be in lockstep with Russia is where the likely end game comes from.

I think the "tactical" part of tactical nukes is a bit of a euphemism, at least when they are in Putin's hands. They won't be used for battlefield advantages IMO.
If he thinks he is going to lose all of Ukraine, the tactical nukes will be used to level Ukraine to punish them and to sink the West into a money pit. Scorched earth has been a Russian policy in war for a thousand years. Putin is likely to say hey, if you want Ukraine, take it... as an irradiated wasteland with no value for at least decades. They have no issue with committing genocide or war crimes. While the radiation is less than large strategic nukes, it is still enough to be a huge concern and require a lot of restoration.
