Given their general “performance”, russists would quite likely blow themselves up.
What do you mean ?
Impossible to know, since we can’t see the battlefield, but I would think CS gas would be effective against underground bunkers. It always works on TV.
No need for a damn nuke left in Mariupol.
Si! Ukraine is winning. Bigtime. This is what MSM tells us.
So, Virginia, if the Times says it is true, it must be so.
(with apologies to all the foreign speakers and writers on FR who do not understand downhome American humor. I suggest you take a crash course on the works of Mark Twain. Then follow up with some Mencken, Erma Bombeck, and Dorothy Parker. With a little Ogden Nash and Dave Barry on the side.)
So many Ninotchkas, so little time!
I also don’t think that will happen.
Correct.
But, once you start using tactical nukes (or the threat thereof) to gain territory, where does it stop?
I think it only stops when every country has their own tactical nukes to retaliate with.
It would be a very dangerous situation, so I’m not making light of it. But to start a full on launch ‘em all nuke war is far, far worse. I would try to use spooks to get someone high up in Russia to whack the nut.
On a fast timescale...
www.Riafan.ru has better real time maps and detailed coverage, news articles.
That would require NATO, more likely to trigger WWIII than lopping off a few fishing villages in the Far East.
Eastern /Southern Ukraine is in rubble. Many weapons entry points along the western border are in ruins.The Ukies Air Force, radar installations, ammo depots destroyed, military equipment depleted, etc… It will take a decade with US taxpayers money to rebuild ( minus 10 percent for Joe).
Doesn’t sound like winning to me.
“.. I don’t care..”
but others do
Isn’t that site in Russian?
The look on his face - “I didn’t know rabbits could talk!”
Or the Ukrainians grab one from the Russian stocks in Crimea or from the wreck of the Moskva.
When borders start shifting, now is the time to “fix” more than one.
FWIW, here's an interesting presentation by Col Sam Gardner (USAF RET) who taught strategy at the National War College, Naval War College and Air War College. It's a possible use of Russian tactical nukes in Ukraine, and how to respond.
It wasn’t until Sept. 1945 that Americans understood nukes cause fallout. They just thought nukes were a big scary bomb at the time.
