Russian state TV: “Our submarines alone can launch more than 500 nuclear warheads, which guarantees the destruction of the US and NATO for good measure. The principle is: why do we need the world if Russia won’t be in it?”

It is Biden’s weakness that invited this aggression by Putin in the first place.

Weakness has always invited aggression.

China will be the next to exploit it.

Only strength deters aggression.


Agree. And Peace Through Weakness isolationism may very well be the end of the MAGA movement. We have to clean house, too.

***************

But why in the Hell would we want to USE them?????

I thought in 1991 when the Soviet Union fell, we’d never have to worry about nuclear war, because our ‘great enemy’ was no longer.

I wasn’t worried about China since I thought they weren’t after world domination.

Now, we’ve got China starting to look damned scary, Russia’s leader sounds like he’s going off the rails, and for the first time in 31 years, I’m getting scared of possibly dying in a nuclear war.

Te!l me I’m wrong.

“Does he think hes the only one who has subs that can launch hundreds of warheads?”

He needs to speak to his old buddy, Satan. Satan set Khruschev straight when Khru had the same idea.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqwzWTL_uj4

Old Khrushchev called the devil on the phone the other day
The operator listened in on what they had to say
“Hello”, came old Khrushchev’s voice, “Is my pal Satan at home?
Just tell him it’s his buddy Khru, that-a wants him on the phone.”

Old Satan finally answered and said, “Hello there, old pal!
If I can be of service, you know I surely shall!”
“Listen, please,” said Khrushchev, “my story I will tell,
Of how I’m changin’ this old world into a modern…we-elll

I got atomic submarines, plenty of Sputniks, too,
I’ve got them so afraid of me that they don’t know what to do
My long range guided missiles will go just where I say
And with your help, Satan’s power, I’ll rule the world some day!”

Old Satan said, “Now good old buddy, there’s something you don’t know
The Yankee people build things too, they’re really on the go.
If I could only help my friend, you can be sure I would
But they’ll make it hotter for you than I ever could!

They’ve got atomic submarines and plenty of Sputniks, too.
They’ve got you so afraid of them that you don’t know what to do
Their long range guided missiles will go just where they say
Let’s face it Khru, me and you can’t whip the USA,
Let’s face it Khru, me and you can’t whip the USA!”

too many old men on this board stuck in old times and sounding just like millennial dems are right now.

Tough talkers and cold war leftovers are on the plate here too many nights.

Having lived through the Cuban missile crisis, the current situation brings to mind the West’s serious mistake of locating ICBM’s in Turkey. I suspect that history lesson has not been forgotten by the leaders in Russia- Ukaine’s path to survival(and the world’s) rests with them declaring their neutrality from the West(and NATO) and Russia.

He’s right, but there are idiots on both sides.

Some believe righteous, braless Ukranian women with Panserfausts and molotov cocktails will destroy the Russian army...

Others believe Putin will appear shirtless on a galloping brown bear wielding a sword to cut down the corrupt Biden ‘10% for the big guy” swindlers.

The rest of us—the vast majority of Free Republic—watch and wait. Take all reports as propaganda until actually proven.

The Russians have the bigger army, and probably will prevail. How long that takes is unknown.

Then again, it all could be solved in the talked about meeting they’re going to have on the Belarus border.

Douchebag. We were getting along fine with Free Russia under Yeltsin and then you idiots allowed Putin to drag you back to the Cold War just to feed his ego.

Except the TLAM-N has been retired. SSGN's only carry conventional TLAMs. Considering the russians have numerous tactical balistic and cruise missiles that can carry nuclear warheads, decommissioning the TLAM-N was a huge mistake.

SSBN's on the other hand carry 24 Trident II SLBMs with up to 288 total warheads.

The fat cats in the Kremlin who’ve made good lives for themselves aren’t about to let this idiot screw it all up.

They’ll make sure Putin ‘’resigns’’ for ‘’health reasons’’.

The first time I heard anyone mention nukes launch and was by the French foreign Minister idiotstick as seen below.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<^>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Putin should understand NATO also has nuclear weapons, says French foreign minister
Fox News ^ | February 25 | Louis Casiano
Posted on 2/25/2022, 4:49:47 PM by PghBaldy

France’s foreign minister said Russian President Vladimir Putin should understand that NATO also has nuclear weapons when making threats to deploy his arsenal.

Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian was speaking with French television network TF1Info when he was asked if Putin’s remarks were “tantamount to threatening Russian use of nuclear weapons in the Ukraine conflict,” Reuters reported.

He said he believed so.

Link is broken, and I did see that one, too. “The Day After” actually toned down the immediate carnage of a nuclear exchange, while “Threads” did not.

It will takes decades under the best of circumstances.

It can't be done. Abortion. Fags. Legal weed.

We have an entire generation raised who demand the above.

This bell cannot be unrung.

Therefore, I expect them to do something about it.

I don't think you understand Russian mentality.

“I don’t think you understand Russian mentality.”

In what respect?

Russia will in all probability win the invasion. But, it will lose the occupation. Ukrainians hate Russians; and with good reason. Ukrainians also have long memories. A Ukrainian insurgency and “Le Resistance” will be brutal and unforgiving.

But, where are these “braless” Ukrainian women with Panzerfusts of which you speak?
