It’s a competition. Few days ago Russians drove a tank over a car in Donetsk

it has been missed because of Soviet propaganda and gullible cowards.

Read the works of Teller and other real scientists on nuclear war survival, means of the enemy to win this war etc...

It is fact they are prepared to win nuke war.

It is limited artillery because you only have so many devices going off. There is not a factory of bombs like we have of continuous production of conventional weapons.

What is there is there. This is not to say that Soviet undergrounds are manned to be ready to produce them if needed.

War is about production, not fixed arsenal. A nuke exchange is only a start in order to deny the opponent war production capability, but it is not the war, it is very limited a battle and insignificant compared to the rest of the battle and civil disturbances.

Most of the dead will be dying not of radiation but because of civil response disorganization.

Disorganization is what is destroying things. Nagazaki fares a lot better than Detroit.

You are just raving nonsensical gibberish.

Just for fun, why don’t you tell us what Russia would be like after they win WWIII and become number one, you can use those sources you seem to know about.

You ask rational questions about irrational enemies.

Too easy to part shot saying gibberish.

What were the nukes for? Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear weapons, Europe and US aren’t even willing to arm Ukraine, let alone go to war with Russia over it.

Just supports the notion that Putin’s a psycho

Well, that is just great.

Radiation sickness can be treated. Defeatism, suicidism, disorganization and mutual exclusive thinking, that’s what destroys terminaly.

They learned that nukes defend their independence. Tiny N.Korea with nukes showed become untouchable. I guess lot of other countries develop nukes right now.
