I hope this is the right topic for this conversation.
I've heard it speculated (here and elsewhere) that Russia's conventional armed forces are so much less powerful than expected, and having been apparently ground down even further by the Ukraine war, that even if Russia were to resort to nuclear weapons, that NATO has so much of a conventional advantage that they might not need to respond in kind--that a massive conventional response may achieve the necessary strategic objectives to prevail.
Is that realistic? I thought it worth diving in among the more military-minded folks here.
