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.

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.

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.

It assumes Putin goes insane and everyone else around him, as well as those firing the missiles, to either also be insane or just going along with it.

Not saying its impossible. It is practically impossible.

The only other halfway plausible scenario is Putin or their systems are misled/tricked into believing they need to fire theirnweapons.

Well, the premise was that Putin was not rational, and which thus enabled the scenario to be postulated as tactically plausible, vs. whether it was plausible to occur.

And exploring such scenarios is useful if MAD/nuclear war is to be avoided under the premise that it is suicidal for both adversities. Billions are spend to make sure nuclear war is.

It won’t be Russia in 2025. It’ll be Iran and sooner than that.
