A Russian official has boasted that Russia would destroy NATO countries in "half-an-hour" if conflict escalated to the use of nuclear weapons.

Dmitry Rogozin, Head of Russia’s Space Agency Roscosmos and former Deputy Prime Minister, said Sunday that in the event of a nuclear war, "NATO countries will be destroyed by Russia in half-an-hour."

He stressed that such an event "cannot be allowed because the consequences will impact the [entire] Earth."

I agree. But it seems to me we’re taking the same roll the USSR took in Vietnam, but back then nobody in the USA was STUPID enough to threaten Moscow with nukes. Russia sounds more like North Korea than a responsible world power.

I condemn THAT, and you should, too.

A person could move to Chile before the balloon goes up, I suppose, if his or her Spanish was good enough.

Or New Zealand, if they don’t mind living in a woke police state.


Why would Americans sell their home to move to Spain or Italy.

A family in our neighborhood just did that. They really seemed to be upset with the Ukraine problems/issues.

A Russian official has boasted that Russia would destroy NATO countries in “half-an-hour” if conflict escalated to the use of nuclear weapons.

NATO asked the VFS official, “Say Ivan, when was the last time you guys pulled maintenance on your nukes? Can you assure everyone that the maintenance funds actually were spent on maintenance and did not wind up in some VFS general’s pocket?”

Ya and Siberia is as big as the United States. Pretty harsh living there though.

I think they could put a hundred million people within that area. Unlike the USA where the whole country will be killed off by not only radiation, but the quicker way would be the internal fighting that will result.

This talk needs to stop.

But I will give you this. If they dropped just one on top of DC I would get drunk in celebration for a month as long as they got as many of the scum in the process.

I’m sure before nuclear weapons are actually used in anger Putin will test a few as the Ukraine war escalates.

Not buying into the deep state, globalists and Ivan’s war does not make one a Putin butt boy. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan etc… has shown these people will commit to battle for sustained periods with loses of blood and treasure but will not commit to win or show how it’s in America’s interest. The Ukraine is a cesspool of corruption, not a member of NATO and not worth one drop of American blood. Am I enjoying watching Ivan get kicked in the nuts, you bet but the Ukraine is not worth 300 mushroom clouds over the USA.

stealth aircraft that Russia can’t track


Known stealth aircraft as they pass through the radio spectrum leave a detectable ‘hole’ and can be tracked.

“Russia needs to realize their nation will be toast, if ours
is attacked.”

I would not be too sure with Øbowel-Bidet* running things.
Good chance they would do nothing.

I actually don’t care either way who wins, although I wouldn’t mind seeing the Neocons getting a bloody lip along the way. As to mushroom clouds, fortunately Russia has lots of (albeit painful) options they can use before we’ll be seeing clouds. At that point the US military will likely step in and put an end to our madness.

And the fallout will land mostly in Orc Land. Pootie Toot™ will be essentially nuking his own country.

I was one to believe we should stay out of Ukraine but with this type of crazy talk from Russia, maybe we should want Russia to get their butts kicked.

As terrible as I think Biden is, I do think there would be a
response.

Biden is not favoring Russia. Unless he was incapacitated in
a first strike attack. In such case our military would be
forced to retaliate despite the decapitation of our nation.
