What Happens If Russia Attacks With Nuclear Weapons?
19FortyFive ^ | 10/9/2022 | Robert Farley

The impact of the use of a nuclear device in Ukraine will depend on the details. Like any large-scale industrial army, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have obvious pressure points that would be vulnerable to nuclear attack. These include logistical centers, command and communications nodes, and concentrations of front-line forces. During the Cold War the Soviet Union expected to use tactical nuclear weapons against NATO (and expected that NATO would use them in return) and it is therefore likely that the Russian armed forces have workable theories as to how they might best use tactical nukes to inflict damage on Ukraine’s fielded forces.

The atomic bomb was NOT ready on May 8, 1945. That’s when Nazi Germany surrendered.

It had nothing to do with weather becuase it didn’t exist.

Some of the scientists thought it might destroy the whole Earth in an enormous chain reaction, right up to the first actual test at the Trinity site in New Mexico, July 16, 1945.

Russia will be absolutely fire bombed by God.

Like Sodom and Gomorrah was? Who is more similar to Sodom and Gomorrah, modern day Zelensky and Ukraine, or Putin and Russia?

Not a paper tiger, a paper bear.

It’s Russia.

According to the numbers of maimed and dead Ukrainians and Russia to Ukrainian kill ratios numbers, hardly.

No, it's everyone's problem. The induced radiation from that detonation will circle the earth several times and distribute nasty isotopes to everyone, everywhere - including on you and your family.

How many above/under ground nukes of any sort have we tested? Russia? Any others? It seems like we should have all died decades ago. If a tactical nuke is set off in Ukville which seems to be the consensus, how many would it take to surpass our previous doses of fallout?

Our .gov toads must have been doing some really nasty stuff over there for nukes to be part of the daily conversation.

We didn’t have a workable bomb until July 1945....Nazi Germany vass kaput in May...so I doubt they thought too much about fallout war strtegies and Germany...the smart scientista maybe but it was all theoretical until July 1945. They would have considered using it had Germany remained a credible threat. The Russians might not have been so happy about fallout coming into Russia...Patton would have been ecstatic!

I just thought it was very curious how you seemed to be speaking so authoritatively for God, proclaiming He Himself is planning on “fire bombing” Russia, when the closest thing known to that in Bible history is what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah. So if you want to try to explain why you feel it is so certain to happen, rather than just proclaiming it will happen, then great.

The only people who start talking about using nuclear weapons is the west

Medvedev threatens their use weekly.

The counter-offensive is not very offensive.

Yep. Esp now that so many are talking up a preemptive nuclear strike on Russia. Not just Zelensky and Biden have drooled on that idea.

That’s why the Russian sub with six nukes on it -that we cannot detect - is out and about right now, probably with specific orders in case of certain things happening.

Yep. And that’s who will send the first nuke. Not Russia.

Looking at this logically, any nukes used would be “puny nukes”, small weapons with a small yield. There are some nukes that are so small, unless the area is surveyed within 48 hours, the residual radiation will be decayed to be near background. Blast very similar to an 8” howitzer.

Nukes can be used in the offense or the defense. In either case, either against enemy *concentrations* or a major industrial facility or port. Nothing in Ukraine rises to the level of being a worthwhile target.

A “vengeance” attack with a nuke rates right up there with a supervillain hitting the self-destruct button in his secret base.

I didn’t say “must be” but I have reason to believe Gog/Magog refers to Russia and possibly its satellites as well.

Zelensky and Poland are both asking us for nukes though.
If it was up to Biden he would be handing them out to everyone.

And people here don’t get it that 85% of the world likes Russia much better than us.
Pakistan and North Korea, among others.

Nukes are not just about Russia and Ukraine. Good luck with that.
