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

Posted on 10/09/2022 8:18:17 AM PDT by whyilovetexas111

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.

A huge portion of the world thinks we have passed the point of no return.

Opec meeting is just one example of backlash.

You are really isolated if you think nukes would stay on the battlefield in Ukraine.

Are you actually advocating giving nuclear weapons to the coke addict nutcase “president” of Ukraine?
He makes Biden look mentally well.

That is so untrue. If it comes to nukes we are all going to die. After Japan.

But remember Putin only Saud he would use them in defense.
The west loves talking about using them.

They act like nukes are nothing more than surgical smart bombs and the Russians wouldn’t dare retaliate. They will go a crap when 10-20 megaton hydrogen bombs burn cities into wreckage and dust. Their clueless that we here in the US , not just Europe, will suffer horrific casualties as well for the Ukraine. Countries and western civilization dying for the shi&thole the Ukraine and to make a bunch of war glorifying fools think they are bad. These same conservatives railed against the likes of John McCain and Linda Graham’s warmongering and yet they sound just like these two maniacs.

There’s a time to fight and to lay it all on the line, this ain’t it. But the progressives, globalist, deep state, RINOS and their conservatives lemmings gotta have their WWIII. This is who your keeping company with in your Third World War, I’m sure they have your backs.

That is in fact, the US policy we have been following for most of my life - to balkanize Russia.

Only we get to be a superpower. No one else.

Mackinder, Ziggy, and the Rand report are good reading if you don’t believe me.

You like war so much, head on over to Ukraine and sign up.
The rest of us don’t want warmongers like you making decisions about our future.

I think Putin would do it. That is just me.

Putin's generals and subordinates have families too and know what the outcome would be. They won't let it happen.

That's just me.........

I suspect Putin's days in power are numbering down as their war against the Ukraine continues in a downward spiral......

A controlled nuclear war using small tactical nukes. We really are living in the 1950's again. If Bruce Banner doesn't get exposed to too many rays, Peter Parker will be bitten by a radioactive spider.

BTW, if a spider becomes radioactive and lives through it, its friends just call it "Keith Richards".

This is my take on what’s coming some of which I’ve posted before:

1) A worldwide awakening of the body of Christ to the return of Gospel of the Grace of Christ (Jude 3). Underway as we speak.

2) Largely as a result of 1), a final worldwide incoming of souls to Jesus before it all comes crashing down (Luke 14:23). I believe we’re on the very threshold of this right now.

3) The “great catching up” AKA “the rapture” of the saints to Jesus in the clouds (the first part of his second coming) and into Heaven (Matt. 24:36-41). I have reason to believe this will happen sometime during the second half of this century. Lot of reasons to think so, actually. In fact it’s amazing it wouldn’t come sooner, but I believe our merciful and loving God waits for this final harvest and rescue of souls from the unbelievably horrific and deadly wrath to come (James 5:7).

4) Daniel’s 70th Week AKA the seven-year tribulation, launched immediately on earth when the saints and the Holy Spirit are removed from earth to Heaven. So many, including many Christians, underestimate the horror and death during this short period. No one on earth will survive except for a relative handful of Jews hiding in the mountains of Jordan (Matt. 24:4-35; Rev Chapts. 6-19; Dan. 9:27). I believe this will happen sometime in the second half of this century immediately upon the event of the rapture.

5) After seven yeas exactly, the second part of the second coming of Christ with us - “ten thousands of his saints” - from Heaven to earth to execute Armageddon upon all those that hate God, and the setting up of Jesus Christ as the Prince of Peace worldwide ruler - King of kings and Lord of lords for 1000 years (Rev. 19:11-20:4).

Wow.

This century will end with Jesus himself as the worldwide ruler as the Prince of Peace. Truly amazing.
Couple of notes.

The “rapture” launches the greatest party ever - the seven-year Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven with, incredibly, Jesus serving us (He always does and LOVES to) (Luke 12:37). Can’t wait for that one.

Satan as usual is jumping the gun right now. He’ll have his short time, but not yet. The Ezekiel 38-39, the nuclear WWIII, and the demise of Russia isn’t until a few decades from now IMO. Right now, I believe we’re in for a worldwide repentance and turning from Satan’s plan and turning to God in Christ - a great last worldwide revival before that great and terrible day fulfilling Jesus’ prophetic parable of Luke 14:16-24 in which we are at the threshold of verse 23 right now.

Also, one of many reason I don’t think we’re in for a nuclear war yet is Matthew 24:37-39. It is a picture of prosperity just before his coming. Not much prosperity after a nuclear holocaust. Plus a nuclear holocaust is a sign of God’s wrath, not due until the church is taken for the earth and Daniel’s 70th Week AKA the seven-year tribulation begins (1 Thess. 5:9).

Not certain, but lobbing a nuke into the prevailing winds is sure to create radioactive blowback. We’ll probably know if Russia is getting ready to use a nuke if they announce a civil defense “drill” in Southern Russia.

Have you ever read “Brither in the Land” by Robert Swindells?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_in_the_Land

Bear in mind we were reading it at school, before we turned 9 years old.

I read the Bible frequently, and am always trying to learn more. And I don”t see the word “Russia” in there anywhere, especially with regard to it being “absolutely fire bombed” as you said. The only place I know of that got fire bombed was Sodom and Gomorrah, primarily for deviant homosexual behavior.

So if I was speculating on who might be fire bombed for their sins next, I would guess it would be those who are most similar to those who were fire bombed in Sodom and Gomorrah. That may be incorrect, and is only an assumption, but as modern Russia is opposed to homosexuality, I wouldn’t consider them a more likely target than those that openly support homosexuality, like Zelensky and Ukraine.

This is simply a logical, honest analysis. If you have something more concrete to support your claim that Russia is more likely to be fire bombed for their sins, other than “read the Bible” which I am already referencing in much greater detail than you, then please let us know. Thanks.

Oh, I understand that US policy is driven by people who are mad that the Czar was mean to their ancestors, and therefore what you describe as "balkanization" is the goal. I also understand that Ukraine is just a tool.

But the gamble carries such high stakes!

I am a nationalist and an isolationist, so to me this is undistilled madness and nothing else.
