People don't seem to care though. I mean I don't give a shiat but where's the red scare fearmongering, duck and cover drills and post-nuclear war movies I grew up with? It's all a lot more possible now than it was in the '80s.

The most dangerous nukes the Russians have are their subs... not the missiles, their reactors

Nuclear annihilation is nothing compared to the threat of trans people being in the same bathroom as you!

There were some great movies and TV shows in the '80s about that too.

Because we're not sure if the nukes will even fly let alone detonate. With how much shiat has been stolen and embezzled, we might get maybe two dozen nukes that barely fizzle.

So far nothing Putin has has worked to expectation.

So far everything the west has has exceeded expectation.

Somebody near Putin needs to take action to remove him. He is clearly dying, and doesn't care that he is destroying a nation with a thousand years of amazing history.

As already observed in this thread unlike the baby boomers who had something to live for, the current generation really doesn't give a fark about dying and actually hope these boomer assholes will do it.

I get to work myself to death for corporate and have no chance of owning a home! Ya, bring on the nukes.

Go ahead, blow yourselves up. If your Ukraine invasion has proven anything it's that your military and infrastructure are a joke and the first nuke you'd try to launch would blow up your own people.

Quit your dick-waving contest with your tiny mushroom, we're all just laughing at you.

Honestly I think Putin has thrown all the money at the nukes.  The rest of the military, not so much.

I called this last week.

UK makes dick wag moving "nuclear warheads"

Russia notices and makes dick wag by conducting "nuclear exercises"

It's all a bunch of BS and everyone knows it.
What I'm wondering though is when Russia's offensive in Ukraine starts to fade in August, will they simply declare victory with their holdings in Donbas and settle in for a generation of insurrection, or will they actually go through with launching some tactical nukes into Kyiv and other Ukrainian strongholds in spite? I highly doubt they would attack the UK or any NATO power directly, they know they aren't a military superpower any longer and so does the rest of the world

Keeping Russian conscripts from escaping west into Ukraine held Ukraine will be a big problem.  Who knows what sabotage they could do to their own side too.

Timing is important.  The transport route for the hijacked wheat harvest has got to be in.  The harvest will be much lower since the fertilizer and ag chemical companies abandoned Ukraine but are still servicing Russia.  This is after the Russia broke and ruined everything they could on farms.

This has been said a million times and the response is always the same.  With over 3000 nukes even just 1% working is devastating not to mention the nukes all the other countries start throwing around before the Russian nukes even get to their target.

Even if Russia launches a dud massive tracts of the earth will be destroyed and uninhabitable for years.

Putin has $200B stashed in banks around the world. Sochi is his private playground. He has how many mistresses??

He's not about to risk all that. It's just the usual dick-waving, because it's all he has at this point.

That's because all current gen people only relate it with unrealistic strategic nuclear war fare. They have only see the likes of Jericho, sum of all fears, etc. so many are just downplaying it when it would be nothing less than global extinction. Wanna know what it is like? Read Alas Babylon or watch BBC Threads. People think "ahh it is only a bomb... whatevs".  Media is downplaying it because there government does not want panic in this economy, they want you to be calm and unexpecting.

And again most children see the only instance of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. These are like small fireworks compared to todays inventory. The there are people voting in the US that HATE the US and want it destroyed, the people that Hate themselves and others that they could care less.

They have about 1600 warheads deployed out of about 4500 that we know of. The odds of every single one failing, either on launch, in flight or on detonation, are pretty bloody slim.

It's sabre rattling, and he has done it so many times, that no one is reacting to it.

Which is probably the perfect response.

If the US military were to react in turn, it could just escalate the situation.

they won't launch all 1600 of the 'operational' warheads allowed by treaty in one go.
so it's a guess as to which ones will be working or they're frantically checking them out as we tap away or should have been since it's clear their armed forces are not what they've made them out to be or have believed themselves.
