If that is likely, there’s a fair chance his general staff will not go along with executing a launch order.
At least- they are not going to do it to save him from getting a bullet in the head.
If you know what that chain of command is, how many would have to sign off on it, you should call the pentagon and let them know
svotove is next (or maybe krimina). by winter they’ll likely control most of northern luhansk, maybe all of it.
Bet you theres some of what you are hoping for @Ben_Natuf

one can hope. we’ll see.
Thought I also read they had some sort of dead man switch as well
Yes…Perimeter. But that, IIRC, controls strategic weapons
If they go there with that, Putin is insane and is looking to destroy the world so it won’t matter what we do.
Here is the English text of Putin’s speech.
Here is an excerpt with comments about the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines and the situation in Europe:
Washington is demanding more and more sanctions against Russia, and most European politicians meekly agree with this. They clearly understand that the United States, pushing through the EU’s complete rejection of Russian energy carriers and other resources, is practically leading to the de-industrialization of Europe, to completely taking over the European market – they understand everything, these elites are European, they understand everything, but prefer to serve the interests of others. This is no longer servility, but a direct betrayal of their peoples. But God bless them, that’s their business.
But sanctions are not enough for the Anglo-Saxons, they switched to sabotage – unbelievable, but true – having organized explosions on the international gas pipelines of the Nord Stream, which run along the bottom of the Baltic Sea, they actually began to destroy the pan-European energy infrastructure. It is clear to everyone who benefits from this. Who benefits, he did, of course.
Hilarious.
What’s so funny about it?
Will Putin go all Vegeta and use the Big Bang Attack? Find out next time on DragonBall Z!

He also said the US is occupying Germany, so…
there’s got to be a reason you did’nt choose this exerpt
if only we could figure out what it was
Really depends on the the General Staff officers involved.
They could either clap like seals and order Putin’s nuclear release.
Or they could all refuse and call in loyal personal GRU soldiers to shoot Putin in the head and then someone gets “elected” out of the group to replace him.
Or they do number two and the FSB and their loyal GRU elements have a huge firefight in the Kremlin or whatever secondary base they are operating out of. Then we end up with a huge Russian civil war as the military breaks apart and starts killing each other. With Putin commanding one side and the other commanded by the rebellious generals.
It could go so many different ways it’s not even funny.
at this point the danger is not if putin sets off a tactical nuke, its what our response is. I outlined what I thought it should be. I still believe that.

The speech gives Putin’s perspective and is consistent with a Russian view of events.
The collapse of the Soviet Union was a great victory for people in the west and eastern Europe. For Russia, it meant that 20 million Russians were now ethnic minorities in other countries. This happened even though they lived in areas that had been part of Russia long before the Soviet Union even existed.
for russia, it was a chance to end their evil empire and join the western world and civilization.
they blew it
the speech however exposes his motives
to reestablish the empire

Nations who never wanted to be with Russia. And were kept in place by a succession of secret police crushing every uprising with extreme violence.
Hell most of the current Russian federation doesn’t want to be a part of Russia.
Welcome in the new Tsar. Same as the old Tsar.
