How far into Russia will these missiles reach and are any key Russian cities within that range.

Sleep walking to a nuclear WWIII. It will be a catastrophe they won’t be able to lie their way out of.

We are the Empire. We brook no resistance. Ukraine is a vital imperial interest because we cannot be seen to be weak while we try to exploit the weakness of others. Long live Emperor Joe.

It could go that way.

There are some other very unpleasant possible replies Russia could do to the UK. They get a lot of their oil/income from the North Sea and Russia has a large submarine fleet I think, about 60 attack subs.. Would not take many torpedoes/missles/explosives from each to wreck their field.

Plus since it’s not on actual NATO soil “Europe or North America” it might not invoke article 5 as the attacks could be in international waters.

Yep, that’s why you never see any initiatives or serious diplomatic efforts by the regime to seek peace.

I believe Trump would find a way to end this mess in less than one month.

What could go wrong? Once those missiles are launched, it’s over. It takes 30 minutes for those missiles to reach their targets. Slo Joe can’t move that fast and Kamel Ho will break out the word salad to try to explain what’s going on.

The missile warning will be displayed on every iPhone in amerca

No fantasy. It will be terrible.

Just stating the obvious result of starting to fire long range missiles into Russian cities.

Only one choice. Cut the head off.

Once Russia fires the first nuke, other nations would take the nuke threat seriously.

And it may be the only thing that stops this war from becoming WWIII.

It would be better to negotiate peace now.

Neocons do not want that.

please explain to us why it’s OK for Russian to fire missiles at Ukraine, but the moment Ukraine does the same to Russia, it will start a nuclear war

not seeing how that works ...

Correct! Putin's Russia has launched 1,000 - 2,000 missiles into Ukraine (many into civilian neighborhoods), but Ukraine must be denied the ability to respond in kind, because it might otherwise make Putin angry, and we can't have that, now, can we?!

/mordant sarcasm

All Putin has to do is withdraw every last troop from Ukraine. He knows that.

Failure of conventional war will make nuclear war unavoidable. It seems Biden/NATO wants it that way as part of their global reset and build back better agenda

Silliness.

All Lil’ Grifta Z has to do is negotiate peace before he’s executed.
