I won’t be surprised if Patrushev executes a coup and declares himself the new ruler of Russia and Putin is wheeled from the operating room to the mortuary.

[DarthVader]

Do you work with nukes? I don’t think so. Most people who don’t have no concept of what they are talking about.

[The West has a whole lot more to lose. This is stupid talk.

Dig you nuke sheller deep cause the Central US will be hit by the first volley.....]

The stakes are the same for all concerned. Putin’s line gets erased along with Russia, which becomes China’s largest province. More important, for Putin’s ego, is the fact that Putin is erased from the history books, except in a footnote where he is portrayed as a genocidal nut who slaughtered Russia. He becomes the Judas who accomplished from within what Hitler could not - exterminate the Russian people.

[DarthVader]

We never saw anything like that from the reliable resources. These statements are myths.

“If Putin is showing signs of that amount of insanity you can bet he’s not waking up from this upcoming surgery.”

It’s the anesthesia that’s going to do him in. You know: Complications with his reaction to it. Ooops.

[M Kehoe]

Hey Vlad.

Between you, me and NoLibZone, it’s not a good idea to go lighting off nuclear weapons.

Not healthy for you, me or NoLibZone.

Have your doctor give you a chill pill.

Thanks, we will talk in the morning.

“Producers then cut to a map of Kaliningrad and seemed to suggest that missiles could be launched from the Russian enclave..”

Not if it’s leveled before the launch.😎

“May be propaganda but a dying crazy dictator, if cancer rumors are true, could care less about the world he leaves behind.”

But most Russians do.

[ought-six]

“Who’s to say his replacement won’t be worse? Some of those mentioned as replacements are more hardline than Putin.”

But, really, it would not be up to him in the final event. The guy who actually has his finger on the button has the final say, regardless who gives the order to launch.

Risky, in any event.

You’re still in insult mode. You still haven’t defined exactly what it is about my statement that Russian TV won’t show the effects of thousands of nukes on Russian cities that is problematic, let alone flat-out wrong. Are you saying that if fired, US nukes won’t obliterate Russian cities the way they obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

[Secret Agent Man]

Tell me how Putin is the good guy in this scenario?

And that doesnt mean I think that makes Biden or Zelensky the good guys either.

They all need to go before they make their self-created clusterph##k go radioactive.

[Secret Agent Man]

I am not sure we even have 2000 nukes anymore.

[Campion]

The Russians know full well that a nuclear attack on NATO capitals will quickly escalate to a full-scale exchange, and whatever is left of their country after that will be China’s new northwestern provinces. This is bluffing, trying to see which Western nation they can intimidate into dropping support for Ukraine first. Interesting that they think the most likely candidates are in Western Europe, not the US.

[Not_Who_U_Think]

Have you seen this simulation of what an actual EAS alert and strike would look like? If not, everyone, please watch. It gave me the creeps.

Is this what’s called “disinformation”?

[The Pack Knight]

The UK always has at least one Vanguard SSBN on patrol, with 16 Trident D5s. Over a hundred 475 kt warheads. And the captain has a sealed letter from the Prime Minister with his orders in case the PM is killed in a nuclear attack.

[Caipirabob]

Perhaps he will be greeted by Hugo Chavez and remember “old times”?

[crz]

These simulated Nuclear scenarios have been on Youtube for years.

All anyone needs to do it go look.

Technically as per the New Start treaty we have 1,550 countable “warheads” in which 60 bombers are each counted as one. Each bomber can have a maximum of 16 gravity bombs like the B-83 or B-61 (B2), or 20 ALCM cruise missiles (B52), so actually up to 800 more, so that is something like 2300 warheads plus the 200 tactical in Europe, so 2500.
Then on top of that we have “hedge” warheads that can be uploaded on MIRV ICBMs and SLBMs, and that might number a couple thousand.

Russia probably has more because they cheat on every treaty they sign.

The shallow thinkers can’t think that deeply.
