Blustering like that tells me that the Ukraine invasion is very probable. It's the only reason he would make such a geopolitically inflammatory statement like that. He wants to create deterrence to any intervention at all making evyerone fear escalation. It may or may not be a bluff but why would anyone use nukes???

He may be telling the truth but the United States has never had a Commander in Chief like Joe Biden. Putin thinks he can stand up against Joe?

I like Putin better than Biden. Putin seems actually very sensible.

I don’t think any big politicians are nice people. Heck, Jimmy Carter put on a good act, but he wasn’t a nice guy. Putin isn’t a nice guy. But I don’t see the slightest chance that he would launch a first strike against us. But I do see at least some possibility that Biden would consider a first strike against Russia.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: The world always has Bad Guys. And right now, I consider the USA to be one of the chief Bad Guys in the world. Russia? I don’t see them that way.

Let me clarify the question. Why would anyone use nukes if he isn’t going to invade Ukraine and there is no war?

There is a FReeper who has made the statement that no country would ever use nukes. I believe that the first nuclear capable country in danger of losing a war on its own soil WILL use nukes, inevitably. Even us.

Sounds like he said “if you use them right back at ya”.

“.....why would anyone use nukes???”

Remember Saddam Husain retreating when he thought all was lost and burning up his oil fields (the future) in the process?

Try backing a bear into a corner and all you have is bear spray. Any clue what will happen next?

Rational thinking can disappear in a heartbeat. That’s why the cold war lasted for 50 years (MAD). Our current leaders think MAD is something that happens to you when someone stands up to your foolish demands.

Why do you care about a conflict on the other side of the globe when our own border is wide open to invasion?

I care. At least, let’s just say I am interested.
Not only do I enjoy history, but also current events.

What makes you think I’m for intervention in the conflict?
I never said that I was.
In fact, the point I was making that is lost on almost everyone who replied to my post was that a statement like Putin’s indicates (to me at least) that he is likely to invade. Why would he bring up (bluff or not) the use of nukes if he is not invading.

But either way, I don’t think the U.S. should police a conflict in Europe. Where is the EU. This is their back yard

Putin is bluffing, it’s all hyperbole. We’ve war-gamed this in our heads and it’s all under control. Using our game theory computer programs we’ve decided the russkies will never use nukes. When the neo-cons get the war they think they want it will turn into a sh*t show, and it will end in tears.

We are not backing a bear into a corner. The bear is planning on taking over the block.

It isn’t our block.

I don’t give a damn about the Ukraine and protecting the biden family criminals.

This isn’t the holodomor and Putin isn’t Stalin. (That would be joetato biden.)

I believe if the situation was beneficial he would strike, like maybe all the US troops being incapacitated by the clot shot. This is just a media op, double commie speak.
