WAR in Ukraine, Putin approves initiation of special military operation (Part 1)

[Orygun]

Hmm- so I mentioned three main options for responding to a nuclear launch by Russia.

1- Attack and obliterate Russian military positions in Ukraine and perhaps in the Black Sea.

2- Attack Russian governmental and military leadership in Russia itself

3- Engage with a proportionate nuclear attack on Russian soil

The third is ludicrous. And though the 2nd option looks crazy as well it looks like it was “leaked” as a possible retaliation.

…

“A decapitation strike to kill President Vladimir Putin in the heart of the Kremlin—suggested by a Pentagon officer to Newsweek as one of the non-nuclear military options considered by the U.S. Department of Defense to respond to the Russian leader’s nuclear threats—is a “delusional” argument escalating a “reckless rhetoric,” according to Russia’s embassy in Washington, D.C.”

And then just now, Lindsay Graham outright saying that use of nukes on Ukraine is an attack on NATO- so essentially WW III.

There is one man that decides that, and it ain’t Lindsey Graham

Who is that? The senile imbecile occupying the White House?

Reassuring

ukranian have fire control of the road to zacharine (as do russians). effectively, lyman is encircled. has been for about 3 days

[Orygun]

Ya- and if re-supply is cut off- sitting and waiting seems smarter than a direct attack. No?

I am sure Putin will be good enough to disclose his location and that it will be on the surface and not deep in a bunker.

The proper response to a large-scale nuclear war is to place your head firmly between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.

No one wins if the arsenals of the US and Russia are launched.

[Ben_Natuf]

i don’t know why you all insist on including syria on this list. i agree as far as kosovo and lybia go. our actions in syria are justified and legal. the other two, not so much

This is about making sure Russia understands it can’t get away with a tactical nuke.

No, I refer to President Biden. Maybe you are thinking of the butler?

Anyone talking about winning that needs to be in a straight jacket

This message is not for Putin. Its for his underlings to understand their lives, and the lives of their family are in danger- so they consider very carefully if they want to follow nuke launch orders or choose to mutiny.

Again- Russia is testing if they can get away with a tactical nuke. They cant.

[Ben_Natuf]

yes, unless you’re a civilian in lyman

Madness, a conventional strike on the Kremlin guarantees a nuclear response.

[Orygun]

Sigh…yes.

@JayJay

Where do you get the idea that in 1998 they (meaning both Russia and the West) didn’t view each other as adversaries?

Someone doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Nuclear brinkmanship is not rational.

When he says he will use nukes if he has to he isn’t talking about hitting Ukraine he is talking about NATO

I’m pretty sure Putin wasn’t even in Moscow today for the announcement.

I’m also pretty sure this wasn’t a serious option.

Skin deep analysis of history yet again.

More insults from person that thinks he’s smartest person in the room.
