Excerpts from larger article which provokes the questioning of plausibility and Putin propaganda. Radar is picking up incoming fire on that.

An any case, when you fight against God, which the USA has increasingly engaged in then you have an enemy you need to have as your Lord and Savior.

I’m still pissed they didn’t nuke DC in the 70’s. If they were this stupid with this President, Russia would be cremated.

That would render the planet uninhabitable for a whole host of reasons.

The planet includes Russia.

Putin is many things but he is not suicidal.

The article is crap.

The Russians love their children, too.

Why would he expend all this effort? If current trends continue and the American Left is successful in keeping the borders open, demographics will topple the US and the Marxists who would be running the disunited US would embrace their Eastern brothers.

I guess that’s why he’s waiting until 2025

“The Russians love their children, too.”

That has a Sting to it.

Sounds like someone is trying to get us used to the idea.

Again.

Putin could NEVER launch a successful first strike against us, simply because we spend 5 times as much on our military, and therefore are superior. Same regarding China, for that matter. So we’re safe and anyone thinking otherwise is simply a FEAR MONGER.

(don’t laugh, that’s what half of the country actually believes)

“The Russians love their children, too.”

More than we do, I guess. After all, we’re all into filling them with hormones and cutting off their twangs, if they happen to pick up a barbie...and WE (as in many American parents) are the ones who bring our kids to the Drag Queen Story Time Hours, throughout the country.

In Russia, the minute a drag queen is in public, life for that nutcase becomes much more difficult (and unlike Iran, Putin doesn’t care what they do in private...just keep it away from the kids).

I rode a plateform that had the capability to destroy the entire USSR in 1973. If we were ever called to spin up and do it, we knew there was nothing to go home too. Ivan knew it too. It was called the Cold War. I only believed we were there in it once. A very sobering moment, my wife and son were in the path. Nothing to go home too, worry about Russians all you want, they like home. Muslims not so much. Fact not fiction.

A lazy click-bait article. It asks a question in the title, then avoids answering it while sounding like a last rate Tom Clancy wannabe.

That is because Putin doesn’t pay $37 per screw and $640 per toilet seat. lol

Mutual Assured Destruction prevented nuclear war for the duration of the Cold War.

Even during the Cuban Missile Crisis the Soviets realized that it was Fidel Castro who was screaming “Let’s you and them fight!!”. Cooler heads prevailed.

After all, if you’re communist & atheistic, this life is all there is.

Russians aren’t suicidal. Putin has no assurance of 100% success & total interdiction of a U.S. second strike. His new weapons systems are mainly for intimidation, because as Nikita Khrushchev once said, “If we fire all our rockets at America, then they have completely FAILED in their purpose!”

But Muslims are suicidal, because their religion tells them only shahids have a direct path to paradise. Even so the mullahs in Iran despite their bluster aren’t in that big a hurry to go nuclear; not with Israeli nukes aimed at them like a cocked pistol.

Ditto the Pakistanis, with an equally nuclear India watching them like a hawk.

Agreed. Putin wants to stay alive, keep the Russians alive and extend their (now tiny) “empire.” I don’t think that Russia even has the capacity to blow up planet anymore.

I think the deep state would like a war with Russia. That would have been Hillary’s assignment.

You mean it is about satellites, sensors, silos and subs rather than cities? They came after in the scenario.

Deep Underground Military Bases. Underground cities connected by mag lev trains. Boring machines that are 100 ft wide. 8 miles of tunnel a day per machine. For the past 70 years our government has built an underground empire impervious to nuclear war. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/543035667553781855/?lp=true

The threat from Russia has been reduced to a psyop for the surface dwellers, all of us. After the dust settles, we will be gone but the millions living underground will carry on. Elimination of the surplus population is the goal of the illuninati, not the Russians.
