i dont think so.
not only would that order not be obeyed, if he gives it, he's a dead man. and he knows it.

however mad he may be, i dont think ALL his generals are. and they've spent how long knowing they can never actually use those weapons?
dont think for a minute that the chain of command doesnt have a plan already.

plus, i srsly doubt the damn things work any better than the rest of the ru military.
