According to Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations, in the event of a nuclear attack on Moscow, there is space in underground facilities for all of the population. While this is a very bold claim, Moscow is famous for the massive amount of bunkers it has available for Civil Defense (гражданской обороны) and the military.

I wonder if Russia thinks they can survive a nuclear war with the west.
Is the west ready, it looks like Russia is ready?
The Moscow subway is a bomb shelter.
I never understood why someone would want to survive a nuclear war. I would be happy to go in the blast, quick death and don’t have to live through the horrible aftermath.
“Is the west ready, it looks like Russia is ready?”
Our strategy is to lose 90% of our population and then get on with fighting the Russians.
Their strategy is to lose about 30% of their population and then start to rebuild.
Is it any surprise that the billionaires have their bunkers in New Zealand and are likely there right now?
But I know, Putin is a bad guy, so why not start WW3...right?
“Is it any surprise that the billionaires have their bunkers in New Zealand and are likely there right now?”
The billionaires started building those bunkers in the same timeframe as Russia started preparing. A great point
I remember reading about this 30+ years ago.
That’s not fair..we are suppose to be wiped out by global warming..?
If anyone launched nukes against the USA, why wouldn’t we set our response nukes for ground burst to make sure no one lives on their land for centuries?
Well I’m sure the American elite class is ready with either their own personal bunkers or an escape hatch to one in New Zealand or Patagonia, but the rest of us are screwed. Probably won’t matter because the ensuing nuclear winter caused by the huge amount of debris generated will kill anyone who manages to survive the blast itself.
I see all the Bidenites here largely arguing that Russia is immoral for invading Ukraine. That’s their lead point along with calling Putin ‘Pooty Poot.” They ignore Ukraine’s persecution of Russians in the east, the CIA coup of 2014, the Biden money laundering machine, Zelinsky’s dubious history, the biolabs, NATO’s encroachment, the Azovs, and the cabal and deep state being united behind Ukraine.
I have to give the neoliberals here a lot of credit. They chew on the bone with vigor just like their far left brethren at Democratic Underground.
Why would the Russians want to use nuclear weapons?
The Soviet Union was willing to use nuclear weapons to advance the cause of communism.
What cause does Russia have that would make them want to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine?
Putin is surely a bad guy but if WWIII gets started it will be the doing of the even badder guys in DC.
They apparently weren’t ready for a conventional war....................
I think Russia would handle a nuclear war better than we would. Russians are used to suffering. It's in their blood. They've seen cities destroyed, civilians killed by the millions. The siege of Leningrad lasted 800 days. They were eating their dead.
We've never suffered in war. We send soldiers off faraway to fight and never have to witness any of it. We are a soft, unserious people and we take our comforts and conveniences for granted. One nuclear strike and half the population would have a psychological meltdown.
Are you sure it’s not DefCon 5?.........................
