Putin’s tactical nuclear weapons could pack the same punch as atomic bombs dropped on Japan

Notice that we never claimed their territory and held sham referendums to annex them.

 

ah...nukes again...splendid

always good for a laugh

 

Russian reservists called up in Putin mobilization attend a departure ceremony
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced last week that he was mobilizing hundreds of thousands of Russian men to bolster Moscow’s army in Ukraine, sparking demonstrations and an exodus of men abroad.

NATO's intervention was prompted by Yugoslavia's bloodshed and ethnic cleansing of Albanians, which drove the Albanians into neighbouring countries and had the potential to destabilize the region.

Basically, when there are ethnic cleansing like in Syria and Yugoslavia, democratic countries get involved. Not like some land grab by a bloody dictator like Adolf Putin.

 

For one, the GDP never and never will be 90% in those regions. That is false propaganda disinformation.

 

No one cares. I highly doubt most of your toys work as advertised given their performance in Ukraine.

But hey go ahead, touch the stove and see what happens.

 

Let's end Russia then

 

But Russia will have to start it. The U.S. is smarter than that.

 

Its not a popular vote when you have soldiers roust people from their homes at gunpoint to fill out ballots where the soldiers indicate what field you will check.

Come off it

 

Hahaha. You’re willing to bet that the US won’t have enough subs with enough nukes to burn everything Russia has worthwhile to ashes? St. Pete and Moscow for sure will fry. There is only one nation on Earth that has used these weapons once already. Try US.

 

Ahahaha...

 

Even Ukrainian fascists recognize this... But of course you know better than professional economists.

 

Russia actually increased its territory by adding four regions. So don't worry about the Russians. They are fine. ....But you can keep puffing out your cheeks.

 

I will quote you the former President of Russia Medvedev. (quote verbatim)
“Our enemies love to make grandiloquent statements. Use the terms “freedom”, “democracy”, “mission”. In fact, this is just ritual verbal diarrhea, in an attempt to defend their exclusivity and the right to rule the world.
The topic of recent days is the Russian nuclear threat.
Biden and Truss, various secondary blinkins and sullivans, spraying Atlantic saliva, demand that Russia remove its hand from its “nuclear button”. Together, they constantly threaten us with “terrifying” consequences if Russia uses nuclear weapons. And the London aunt, young in mind, is completely ready to immediately begin an exchange of nuclear strikes with our country.
I have to remind you again - for those deaf who hear only themselves. Russia has the right to use nuclear weapons if necessary.
In addition, we will do everything to prevent the appearance of nuclear weapons in our hostile neighbors. For example, in Nazi Ukraine, which is directly controlled today by NATO countries.
Imagine that Russia is forced to use the most formidable weapon against the Ukrainian regime, which has committed a large-scale act of aggression . I believe that NATO will not directly intervene in the conflict even in this situation. After all, the security of Washington, London, and Brussels is much more important for the North Atlantic Alliance than the fate of the perishing Ukraine, which no one needs, even if it is abundantly supplied with various weapons. The supply of modern weapons is just a business for Western countries, however, heavily implicated in hatred towards us. No more. Overseas and European demagogues are not going to perish in a nuclear apocalypse. Therefore, they will swallow the use of any weapon in the current conflict."
Pay attention to the tone of the speech. Russians do not care about the opinion of the West.
And Medvedev ( he is a government official) speaks directly about this without embarrassment in expression. Politicians usually choose softer words. But Medvedev speaks with disdainful irony, even derision. And do you know why he says that? Because he is confident in the victory of Russia.
He seems to know something that you don't.

 

Looking at Biden, there is involuntarily dissonance regarding the words "Biden" and "Mind". Obviously these words are incompatible.
I am amazed by the fact - how could the American people, a people with a great history, a very smart and rational people, a people who created a lot of great things, how could this people vote for this president? .... I don’t understand.

 

The referendum in these republics was attended by many foreign observers. There were representatives from Italy, France, USA, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Germany....and more representatives from many countries. (Approximately representatives of 20 countries) All (I emphasize again - all) representatives indicated that the will of citizens was free and there were no violations.
But you, of course, know better than international observers. Is not it?

 

It's very funny to watch you puff out your cheeks.

 

You post this foolish drivel and then have the audacity to laugh about it. F’g Russians, you people have had plenty of chances to overthrow your predisposition toward Tsarists and now you rant about your current Tsar burning the US by destroying its coasts and nuking Yellowstone!? Von Neumann apparently was correct, no surprise. We should have nuked you in 52 on a sunny Sunday afternoon. MADness…..

 

Don't worry. Soon you and the Russians will exchange nuclear strikes.
For your information . Tsar bomb - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_...(Russian: Царь,weapon ever created and tested.

The bomb was created a long time ago (perhaps there is something more powerful now), but today the Russians have hypersonic delivery vehicles. The United States does not have such means of delivery.
All in all, let's see what happens.

 

The main reason the Soviets built the large yield warheads was because their bomber crews and missile guidance systems had a margin of error of up to a kilometer or more from the intended ground zero. That was 61 years ago. Today, the standard strategic warhead is around 350-400 kilotons. Anything over a megaton or so is either a result of zero confidence in your delivery systems, or vapid, performative dick-waving...

 

Soon you will know everything.

 

Hopefully Putin and his komrades are not victims of your illusions about your misguided understanding of our propensity to defend ourselves from WWIII. Regardless of the information he received from his bitch Trump, the US military absolutely would launch in the scenario you propose. Even and especially without Biden or Harris. Sadly, you seem not to appreciate the propensity our Anglo-Saxon heritage in the US predisposes US to war. Our heritage is that of Western Europe, you know, the people who fought wars the most for the past two thousand years. The Germans and the Brits? Familiar with their bellicose nature much? You advocate that a rat bastard like Putin will spike Yellowstone with a modern hypersonic Tsarabomba here on PF, ah, this would be amusing I suppose if I weren’t convinced that one day, one way or another, we hairless apes will in fact all but destroy our planet with these weapons whose consequences have been failed by humanity to fully grasp.

 

One of us will, that's for damn sure. I don't live in or near a primary target area. How about yourself? Are you out in the Siberian wastes, or are you sitting in a future Ground Zero?

 

It'd be the end of the fcken world! No one wins a nuclear war. The radiation and the fallout will slowly and eventually kill every living thing that does not adapt and what the blasts themselves don't kill. Nuclear winter, which lasts for centuries kills all plant life, blocking out the sun. It's not a smart move for anyone. Start with tacticals, then some nutter gets even more trigger happy and then escalates it to ICBM strategic ones.

 

Snowden actually looks a bit Balkan/Slavic.
