Is it possible Putin would use a nuclear weapon within Russia? [1]

No one has mentioned the possible use of nuclear weapons by the Russian MOD against the Wagner Group. Will Putin use them against Wagner if he feels that his life is in danger?
It is entirely possible that one or two tactical nukes would be effective against Wagner. The total Wagnerian force is quite small, and the utter destruction of one of those convoys would be a serious blow. Of course, with Prigozhin in command of the SMD, it may be that nuclear retaliation would be in the cards.
I find the idea that Prigozhin might soon have control of the world’s largest nuclear arsenal frightening. The prospect of a nuclear exchange between Putin and Prigozhin is even more terrifying.
Let us not forget that the great majority of people killed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not die for hours or days. We tend to think of people being killed in an instant, and some are. But the greater horror of any nuclear detonation would be among those farther from ground zero. And this time we will all get to see the horrific burns and the flesh falling off, and to hear the moans of the dying.
Let’s all visualize world peace. It can’t hurt.
