do you not see it?
nuclear war may well be their goal.
they will never have to leave power if that happens.
you think this is unrealistic? history is full of scenarios where rulers were quite happy to ruin their domain in order to save themselves and their power.
I don’t think the rats 🐀 give a rats 🐀 rear end if the country becomes a nuclear wasteland, as long as they stay in power. They are evil.
ALL THIS BACK SLAPPING do they think Russia can’t hit back in some way? Maybe sink a few of our ships in the gulf or North Sea. “A little accident.” Russia isn’t Iran or Iraq. They will use what they know about us to make us feel pain. My bet—an attack on the Grid. Turn out the lights and everything stops.
Definitely a good way to depopulate and then bring those left under their complete control, yeah?
