A direct clash between Russia and NATO would put the world "one step away from a full-scale World War III," Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters this week as he celebrated a preordained victory in the country's presidential election and underscored his uncompromising Ukraine strategy.

The threat of nuclear escalation has been ever-present as the West continues to bolster Ukraine and frustrate the Kremlin's military campaign. For Moscow, the nuclear card has been useful in deterring deeper NATO involvement in the conflict. "Everything is possible in the modern world," Putin warned this week.

I’m safe in North GA. I won’t die within weeks. I’ll die when the system collapse causes mass starvation, about a year in.

They’re not saying we won’t get our hair mussed - 20 or 30 million casualties tops!

We did Ok with Ukraine under Soviet rule.

we can do likewise with it under Russian.

NATO was/is/should be our line in the sand. This happening for Ukraine is beyond foolishness.

You’re right! Our crazy tinpot dictator, Biden, has shown the world he’s capable of ANYTHING! None of this would have happened if the DC oligarchs hadn’t insisted on making billions raping Ukraine after the CIA coup in 2014. None of this would be happening if our tinpot dictator hadn’t torpedoed the Istanbul Peace Accords negotiated by the Ukes and Russians. Yes, having a coup in which a tinpot dictator is installed has certainly caused enough problems here in America.

“Mr. President, we must not allow a mine-shaft gap!”

IMHO, best line of the whole movie.

Putin would create 4 new red states by nuking Chicago, Denver, Philly and NYC.

If the nuke on the DC Swamp were an H-bomb and thus wiped out Occupied Northern Virginia, it would be 5 new red states.

The country would be saved.

I’d like to bargain and see if we could trade Miami, Houston, Dallas and Salt Lake City for Detroit, Minneapolis, Portland and Seattle. That would create an additional 4 more red states.

Living in the North of England during my Civil Defence days, we were taught that those living in the big cities would not be able to help themselves and it would be up to us.

Probable the same here.

The important papers are behind inches of ballistic glass, a blast proof case, and are lowered into a nuclear vault every night, so...

No doubt your friends would be bright enough to skip town before... Uniparty members seem to excel at denying reality, so they will stay.

Why Shreveport?

Is there anything military there?

Wikipedia says this:

It forms part of the I-20 Cyber Corridor linking Shreveport to Dallas and Atlanta.[18][19][20][21] Companies with significant operations or headquarters in Shreveport are Amazon, Regions Financial Corporation, JPMorgan Chase, Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, AT&T Mobility, United Parcel Service, Walmart, SWEPCO, General Electric, UOP LLC,[22] Calumet Specialty Products Partners, and APS Payroll.
