    Russia doesn't need to use nukes on Ukraine. All the psyop MSM and Ukraine are doing just turns me off... Not just that Russia exports a lot more things that are actually useful to the US which is why I support Russia.

    Fricking Ukraine needs to surrender already ffs. No one cares about your fight. It's for nothing anyways. Russia will continue to expand into your territory so mind as well become an autonomous state before Pootang wipes you out of history.

        I'm pretty sure Moscow initially tried to pull the same trick as in Crimea, which is why they expected much less resistance, went mostly ill prepared and called it a special military operation. I honestly don't think they were planning for such a bloodbath, which is why they didn't shell big Ukrainian cities into oblivion at first, expecting a quick surrender. If Biden didn't told Zelenski to not negotiate prior to the attack, maybe that would have been the case. Now everyone is in deep shit. I know the Ukrainian and Poles botshills don't want to hear it, but both sides are actually responsible for the war (like how WW1 started).

        They're like wienerroaches, nukes probably won't kill them all. But with less urbanites alive their power would be greatly diminished. I don't think it will happen, but who knows, the world is becoming quite crazy lately.

          Utter nonsense. There are two (2) parts to the war, Russia and Ukraine, and Russia started the war by invading Ukraine. Ukraine not immediately surrendering does not make the Ukraine partly to blame for the war, that is a moronic notion.

            WW1 (and WW2) started because german butthurt loser greed, just like the Ukraine war has happened by a russian butthurt loser greed.

            Neither France/UK then, or the West now had any need to start a war because they were already winners of the previous struggle.

            That's only the surface, but if you read the newspaper from that time, literally everyone was pushing for the war, even for petty reasons. The French wanted revenge for their previous defeat against the Germans where they lost 2 regions (Alsace-Lorraine). The start of the war was almost welcomed as good news on both sides.

    Depends on how the war proceeds. If Russia feels the need to use it, they'll use it. And if the respond isn't end of war, then they'll use it few more times until Kyiv bends the knees.

              hundreds of nukes, at best, considering the state of their military
              take out 98% of those with a decapitation strike + glowBlack person tactics and you have 5-10 nukes being launched against the west

              assuming they are launched at pre-determined locations due to the speed at which they have to be launched, majority will strike western launch facilities so you're looking at 2 western cities getting nuked worldwide

              Not even close. Russia has to divide it's nuclear arsenal between conventional military targets, nuclear military targets, and the civilian population. NATO only has to target Russia's nuclear assets as NATO's conventional military could crush Russia's conventional military like a wienerroach. There is also a considerable discrepancy between Russia's number of warheads and their number of delivery systems. The former without the latter is just a paperweight.

              Potentially tens of millions of Westerners will die yes, but it won't be enough to actually destroy their civilization. And the Western response to such an attack would be to immediately declare genocide on Russia. There is no scenario in which Russia can "win".

                it will be because Russian military command structure is fricktarded and in an emergency situation, especially if the west makes a prepared first strike, the Russian military will be utterly incapable of launching their nukes at anything other than the pre-programmed locations, the majority of which are military targets

                Russia still has functioning warheads and delivery systems, that’s very likely. Just how many is the question. Russia is still capable of flying and maintaining Soyuz rockets, they can manage liquid fuelled ICBMs as well.
                The problem is that even one or two nukes hitting Western targets would be a nightmare. It would be 10 times 9/11.
                Unlike Russians, the Western world will not accepts tens of thousands of deaths. And that’s where the issue lies. That’s why the West is slowly boiling the Russian frog, rather than just ending the war in a short period.

                morons like yourself don't understand that the moment that a nuclear weapon is detonated in anger, much less in response to a failed war of aggression, not a defensive war for the survival of your nation, you have to be put down like the mad dog you are to make it perfectly clear to the rest of the world that nuclear warfare is not acceptable or normalized. If the US, China, India, Pakistan, and various EU nuclear powers do not immediately launch a counterforce strike against you and instead capitulate to your demands, every attempt at nuclear non-proliferation goes out the window. Literally every country will be racing to build their own nuclear weapons because that is the only defensive measure that you can take, which the current nuclear powers don't want because it both robs them of their superior standing and dramatically increases the risk of nuclear terrorism or warfare. There is no situation where using a nuclear weapon in the war in Ukraine would ever end up with anything less then Russia instantly getting glassed unless they've managed to lose so hard that Ukraine is shelling the Kremlin while also refusing any peace talks.

                This is the russian propaganda talking point, and it's a lie. The only option is to keep helping Ukraine liberate their land, and if Russia tries to use nukes they cease to exist, no matter what damage they do.

                Russia has to choose between letting go their imperial ambition and Russia Stronk bullshit, or being deleted from history if they use nukes. They're the ones that only have losing options.

                ther is further escalation, do some fricking research on the matter noob

                Strong argument, champ. I'm not even going to get into the points about nuclear proliferation, which will result in significantly more nuclear weapon use in the future, but Russia launching a nuclear strike is past the pale of escalate to deescalate because you've broken the glass ceiling that everyone agreed not to.

                The next escalation is a tactical nuke in Ukraine. The one after that is the global one.

                NATO still has the option of pulling out anytime before full global war without any loss and lots of gains (lots of Russian lives lost/military-industry weakened).

                The scenario is they've already launched a nuclear strike in Ukraine, so I'm going to assume you're just a fricking moron who doesn't even know the difference between strategic and tactical which really explains why you have no fricking understanding of nuclear doctrine.

Its a war happening halfway across the world and amerimutts playing their moronic foreign policy where it shouldnt will only last for so long.
                Nato trannies from discord seething due to hormonal imbalance about how nuclear blackmail le bad! doesnt change the fact that US politicians and policy makers have backroom daily meetings with their biggest supporters aka Wall street giants .

No matter how much discord trannies delude themselves US wont give it all up just to avenge some irrlevant east euro shithole which didnt even exist untill 9 months ago before western media made them famous .

                That being said, keeping appearance and impotent seething goes a long way so we might see NATO blowing up some russian ship or two. Wouldnt matter because Putin would have already won,he wont escalate ,Kremlin will weave a propaganda story of accident like someone smoking in magazine room or something lol and russian will cope with that.

                Except that nobody except (russians maybe) will go extinct in full blown nuclear exhange. And with the state of russia's armed forces, it is highly likely that first strike by NATO would disarm russias nukes to the point that maybe a handful of them would actually get through.

                >Not even close. Russia has to divide it's nuclear arsenal between conventional military targets, nuclear military targets, and the civilian population.

                Call me crazy but I highly suspect that the Russians have long since given up on trying preempt a nuclear attack on NATO, seeing as NATO's technological superiority ensure that American missile silos will be long empty by the time Russian missile reach them. And that they've rewritten their targeting folders to exclusively be large or critical military installations (Fort Hood, Fort Bragg, Peterson AFB, Camp Lejune, etc.) and cities. Lots of cities

                Here's my hot take how a nuclear war goes down. The Russians launch a combined limited countervalue strike against NATO's largest military installations and let's say, the 30 largest American and 30 largest Western European cities. After that, they issue an ultimatum and threaten to initiate an all-out countervalue strike and use their remaining weapons (of which there would still be easily hundreds of them even if NATO launched a first strike) to destroy the next 100 largest American and 100 largest Western European cities (excluding ones they haven't already hit) if their demands aren't met. The vast majority of the Americans and Western European populations actually live in these 100 cities so a successful attack on them would essentially amount to national extermination. If even one of the three nuclear NATO powers blinks and agrees to a ceasefire, then that at leasts dramatically cuts down on the number of targets the Russians would have to hit in a follow-up strike.

                Now, do I have any proof of this? No. But I can't think of any other way to potentially make use of the Russian nuclear arsenal in its current state that would actually stand a decent chance of winning a war.

              Two factors why I agree with anon that we could disable their nuclear arsenal-
              >Russia for certain has far fewer nukes than they advertise.
              >Russia is fully compromised by foreign intelligence.
              It seems many agree these claims must be true, personally, I think there is some evidence to suggest they are true.
              Plus many other potential factors:
              >Does Russia have the capability to detect every weapon in US service? Likely not.
              >Is Russia's airspace properly monitored & defended? Likely not.
              >Does the United States have the weapons and capability to carry out this type of operation? Probably.
              The performance of Russia in the war in Ukraine suggests it's ineptitude as far as the eye can see, maybe it's air defense is the same.
              Let's just hope those nukes are cleaned up before the county falls into insurgency or Putin gets replaced by someone even more calamitous.

The best case scenario for Russia is they take out a few urban shitholes (good riddance) and then the USA spends 10% of its arsenal (the rest is reserved for answering the Chinese question) eradicating Russia. The surviving Russians in rural areas are hunted down and killed by Polish forces.

            Well to be fair, as of now, the Pentagon has not found any evidence that Russia is getting ready to use the nukes. At least for now. Russia said they'd use the nukes if they ever dared frick with Crimea, yet they still went ahead and bombed the bridge anyways. Russia threatened to use the nukes if any of the occupied land they stole were attacked, which they didn't do. Russia threatened a nuclear strike if ANY of Russia's territory came under the line of fire, and yet there have been numerous strikes and other related such assaults in mainland Russia as a result of this war.

                Incorrect. Once Russia has demonstrated a willingness to use nuclear weapons, there is no point in giving them the initiative to launch the first strike on the vague hopes that they'll finally come to their senses, and given that the rest of the world isn't going to back down, the only rational choice left is to strike them first with overwhelming firepower, aka nuclear weapons, to minimize the amount of damage that Russia can do in their death throes.

                I partly disagree, I think massive conventional response is more rational, since your option has a too large risk of triggering MAD. With a conventional response you can send a message to other dictators and make Russia a pariah state (while probably avoiding a triggering of full scale nuclear war)

                MAD is long outdated thinking, in part because of things like the START treaties reducing active weapons to a much smaller number. Once Russia has launched a nuclear strike, there is no reason to believe they won't launch more once in direct conflict with the West, so the best thing to do is to launch an immediate first strike to destroy all Russian weapons in their silos/airbases. Cracking that many hardened targets with each missed one potentially meaning hundreds of thousands of dead civilians means that the only rational move is to use your nuclear weapons to maximize the odds. There is no reason to let Russia have the chance and time to ready their nuclear forces and launch first since that means that far more weapons will be landing on Western targets. The timescale from Russia's nukes hitting Ukraine to the US nuclear strikes landing in Russia would be sub 30 minutes, since there is no other rational option.

                Or since they've already continued to double down, they'll instead launch one at London/NYC/DC instead. Do you want to bet the lives of a million people on Putin finally realizing the West isn't going to cuck out?

                I would argue the response wouldn't be immediate, but rather a couple days, maybe a week delay to allow military intelligence to put in place the means to delay the Russian counterrespose
                essentially, the west issues a strongly worded letter, russia buys it, then a week later with no warning the decapitation strike follows right as conveniently there's been a massive glitch in russian military communications channels

                >the response wouldn't be immediate, but rather a couple days, maybe a week delay

                The various glowBlack folk in the US military intelligence apparatus read Putin's orders before his generals, much less being able to keep an eye on the readiness status of Russian nuclear forces. When Russia starts moving to prepare a weapon, the US will know and those preparations will be matched on the US's side. There will be no need for the West to delay because everyone will already be sitting with their finger just above the big red button.

                >so the best thing to do is to launch an immediate first strike to destroy all Russian weapons in their silos/airbases
                That will wipe cause Russia to launch couple thousand nukes at your city. Given that missiles take 20-30 mins to cross over the globe, while sats can pick up everything at speed of light. If first strike happens from NATO, Russia will respond in kind before the nukes land on their silos.

                We don't have a teleporting nuke yet.

                Russia maintains just over 1,500 strategic weapons as verified by START inspections, and more then 50% of those are on platforms that can't be readied to fire within the launch detection. Their submarine forces are a well known joke, their bomber force is equally as lulzworthy, and their 2nd strike ground force is the road mobile launchers that they keep in hardened silos which are only intended to be rolled out and fired after the first wave of detonations. Russia also uses liquid fueled ICBMs, which drastically increase the amount of time that they require to launch since they have to be fueled. It takes 30 minutes from launch to detonation for a minute man, but a Trident launched from a US sub can bring that down to 15 minutes and is much less easy to detect so it's not impossible that a good portion of Russian warheads will be struck on the ground, especially if it's in conjunction with other US conventional assets which are stealthy. While there are likely to be some successful launches on Russia's side, it's far less then if they were allowed the initiative to start the shooting.

                Nukes are a means to an end. If they're not a threat to the opponent, then they're not doing their job.

                The destructive capability of nukes has been demonstrated with the US wiping out the civilian cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

                Asking Russia to not use it against the US/NATO while NATO intends on wiping out Russia isn't realistic. Russia will use nukes just like NATO/US has/will.

                Civilian deaths are used to end war. What do you think was the goal of US was when US used nukes against Horishima/Nagasaki was? It was to end the war by showing the cost of war.

                Russia understands that NATO nukes will wipe out Russia as a country. So to get the goal of ending the war, the best way is to wipe out the civilian population and make the countries and the allies that are trying to wipe out Russia as a country extinct as well.

                Thats why Russia built thousands of nukes. Not so it can destroy small hidden silos, but to use it as a deterrent and hold the populations of those countries hostage if the government tries to attack Russia. And US/NATO did the same as well. This is how we got MAD in the first place. Refusal to understand the reasons for why Russia/US built thousands of nukes doesn't get us out of this dillemma.

                Because the Russians, whose belligerence is why NATO exists at all, have this strange and unfortunate habit of invading their neighbors. They think it's because NATO is after them so they have to stop it's expansion by puppeting it's neighbors but NATO is actually growing because those neighbors realize they're on the chopping block otherwise.

                Russia is 110% it's own worst enemy and the definitive cause of it's own problems.

                Another russian propaganda lie. Between scandinavia, Poland, and submarines, Russia could have been already surrounded by nukes since the 90s. But nobody cares anymore because nukes are expensive to maintain, the big ideological conflict of soviets vs. the west ended back then, and the EU had been following german Ostpolitik for mutual benefit until they were betrayed in February.

                The conquest of Ukraine, like the also aborted annexation of Belarus (remember that one?), was about rebuilding a Russian Empire 3.0 with Putin as czar, nothing more.

                NATO is a DEFENSIVE alliance champ. It wouldn't exist in the first place without Soviet/Russian aggression. If Russia just kept to themselves instead of being belligerents like the Soviets and constantly invading their neighbors and saber rattling like the current model Russia would be left alone.

                If NATO said frick it and decided to go offensive and wipe out Russia it is glaringly obvious the Russians wouldn't be able to stop it. At this point I don't think China would even attempting to bother riding in to their rescue either.

                morons like yourself don't understand that the moment that a nuclear weapon is detonated in anger, much less in response to a failed war of aggression, not a defensive war for the survival of your nation, you have to be put down like the mad dog you are to make it perfectly clear to the rest of the world that nuclear warfare is not acceptable or normalized. If the US, China, India, Pakistan, and various EU nuclear powers do not immediately launch a counterforce strike against you and instead capitulate to your demands, every attempt at nuclear non-proliferation goes out the window. Literally every country will be racing to build their own nuclear weapons because that is the only defensive measure that you can take, which the current nuclear powers don't want because it both robs them of their superior standing and dramatically increases the risk of nuclear terrorism or warfare. There is no situation where using a nuclear weapon in the war in Ukraine would ever end up with anything less then Russia instantly getting glassed unless they've managed to lose so hard that Ukraine is shelling the Kremlin while also refusing any peace talks.

                Except they've already hit peak escalation by launching a nuclear strike. There is no further escalation except hitting a different target. Do you want to bet the population of DC or London on this gamble, much less all the additional nukes that they could ready if they get to launch the first strike? The only reason they're even allowed to get away with their current nuclear threats is because they've been making them for so long and not living up to them that everyone has a tacit understanding that they're not serious and instead are just domestic propaganda. That goes out the window the moment that Russia demonstrates that these are not empty threats.

                A massive conventional response would still provoke them into launching nukes. If you see that your enemy is coming to wipe out your ability to retaliate with nuclear weapons, you'll ready and use those weapons as soon as possible. A symbolic gesture and a couple days of preparation before first strike would be better since you wouldn't be gambling with so many western lives in that case.

                A symbolic gesture for the wider public, I mean. The point of it is to allow some sort of deescalation. Use direct lines to give the Russians an ultimatum to frick off out of Ukraine immediately or face an attack from NATO. If after this glowies get an indication that Russians are preparing to use more nukes, then NATO is just going to act immediately. I think the chances of things escalating dearly in immediate conventional action are significantly greater than attempting to communicate first.

                No it fricking wouldn't. The moment russia nukes Ukraine is the moment B-2s take off to wait in the air whether or not to strike. The way to delay russian counter response is to sink any russian nuclear subs out at sea and pre-emptively nuke their silos and every single mobile launcher base. If NATO satellites detect russia fueling their mobile launchers, it is go time. There is no fricking way NATO would risk allowing russia to ready their entire nuclear arsenal before responding.

Given that missiles take 20-30 mins to cross over the globe, while sats can pick up everything at speed of light. If first strike happens from NATO, Russia will respond in kind before the nukes land on their silos.

Once Russia has demonstrated a willingness to use nuclear weapons, there is no point in giving them the initiative to launch the first strike on the vague hopes that they'll finally come to their senses, and given that the rest of the world isn't going to back down, the only rational choice left is to strike them first with overwhelming firepower, aka nuclear weapons, to minimize the amount of damage that Russia can do in their death throes

                I partly disagree, I think massive conventional response is more rational, since your option has a too large risk of triggering MAD. With a conventional response you can send a message to other dictators and make Russia a pariah state (while probably avoiding a triggering of full scale nuclear war)

                There's no rationality in conventional strike once Russia has demonstrated willingness to nuke Ukraine

                It just means things will escalate. If A single strike from NATO lands in Russian territory, it will lead to more nukes. If one nukes is fired, two can be fired much easier. If two is fired, 10 can be fired easily, and so on.

                If the west only intends on conventional warfare against nuke, then Russia will escalate it until the cost is too high for the west. Losing everything or just negotiate.

                Even a total nuclear exchange between US and russia wouldn't result in total annihilation. Maybe couple hundred million directly dead in the blasts, and then maybe 1 to 2 billion in the next 5 years due to disruption caused to infrastructure, and do note, those billions dead would be mainly in Africa and Asia, since the 1st world wouldn't be able to subsidize their absurd over bloated populations.

                Russia has >1000 nukes. If they use 1000+ nukes for US cities, US ceases to exist. More so, it only needs to wipe out top 100 cities at best to reduce the US to a third world country status. 200+ will stop the nation from existing. 300+ will remove all major population centers. 500+ will remove all human centers 1000+ will remove all animals near human centers and effectively making US a nomans land for the next 10,000+ years

                We all know the Russians have lots of nukes on paper. The question is do those nukes still work and do the missiles they'd need to deliver them still work?

                My bet is the Russians are sitting on a mountain of mostly duds that were not maintained because Pavel decided he wanted a cocaine habit. But like all Russians with access to lots of valuables or lots of money he didn't JUST want a coke habit. He probably wanted a coke habit where you do lines off an expensive hooker's ass on his very own yacht. Tendrils of corruption reach everything in Russia and I sincerely doubt even their nuclear arsenal is immune or even really that resistant to it. I wouldn't be even slightly shocked to find out there are TONS of orphaned sources out there that were once part of Russian nukes.

                No, the best way to end the war is Putin and all real pro-war russians being neutralized and Russia going back to its borders. Then we negotiate when we let them trade with us again or they end as China's little b***hes.

                The nuke bullshit is just scare mongering against western normies. They'll never do it because nuclear blackmail is suicide and they know it.

Go read a fricking book and you'll understand that there will be a lot of death, but Russia being reduced to the stone age isn't a result of the nuclear weapons themselves, though Russia building it's major CCC elements in it's few major cities won't help that situation, but because the rest of the world will have no sympathy for a population that started a nuclear war and so they will receive no help rebuilding.

          The only option that you think is rational is for Ukraine to negotiate peace, but the problem with that is that it is difficult, or even impossible, to find peace terms in this that would be a win-win, which you'd need to find in order for it to be rational. And viable.

          The reason why is because this conflict is predicated off of Russia trying to take something that isn't thiers. So what compromise could ukraine make that would not involve relinquishing land? Any capitulation on Ukraine's side, is a loss for Ukraine, and incentivises Russia to do this sort of thing again in the future. This is all doubly so when you consider that this conflict is over critical oil fields in donbass and the Crimean coast. Without recapturing those, Ukraine can't get its economy on track, the west will not invest in thier recovery, and Russia will just be invading thier now even weaker and poorer neighbor again in the next 30-50 years because they got what they wanted last time. Thats not a rational outcome, as much as Russia hopes ukraine will just give them the win.

      Russia doesn't have the ability to properly defend Kherson anymore. The city is about to get encircled and they're retreating. Russia's initial strategy was to peacefully take over the country and install a new puppet leader in Kyiv, that failed. They tried to make a land bridge by taking the administrative borders of Donbas (something they still have yet to do) all the way to Moldova through the Black/Azov Sea coast and Odesa (which they never made it to) and use Transnistria as a diversion in doing so (which also failed). Now Russia's key strategy is to retreat, defend (aren't they the ones that started the invasion?) and make empty threats on public television.

      Ukraine will lose, all Russia has to do is never give up. Ukraine's population will decrease over the course of the war until they are completely killed or displaced. Russia's population will remain stable even on the battlefield because Russian just retreat without getting surrounded. Also since the fallen are immortalized by the culture there will no regrets for the losses at all.

        Yes, thats my point. When that happens its already too late for both parties.

    >What are Ukraine's chances of winning?

    0% unless NATO gets involved with 10s of thousands of soldiers. But that pretty much guarantees that nukes will fly.

    And I'm pretty sure, it's not russian nukes that will fly first.

    If NATO decides to move in 10s of thousands from Romania and Poland into Ukraine, the minute these troops cross the ukie border, Russians will send cruise missiles into their forces.

    So, even before they reach the fighting they will probably suffer thousands of deaths as they can't stop the Russians from bombarding them.

    And the moment the first NATO warplane or cruise missile enters Russian airspace and hits some military installation, Russian missiles will hit bases in Poland and Romania.

    Russia doesn't need nukes to cause horrific casualties among incoming NATO forces, but that will trigger the 'first strike' doctrine in american policy as significant numbers of US forces will have been killed already.

      They can ? Based on russian missile performances against civilian objectives protected by a smaller army with less equipment, fully equipped and prepared NATO troops with air and antiair support would be untouchable. Russia avoids conflict with NATO for a reason.

      I understand being attached to Russia in a somewhat bipolar world. But to think they can do anything against NATO is delusional, both based on this war and based on russian policy of aggression (which , factually, amounts to "attack anyone on our borders who isn't NATO). Not to mention what happened the only time wagnerites attacked American troops ( hundreds of russian victims, one sprained ankle among the yanks)

    There was no Nuremberg for Sino-Soviet gorillions democided: the Party power structures never went away, just private: Sino-Soviet doctrine always planned around joint first strike on America, and/or intermediate yields against conventional forces. The only question here is if they think they can survive their own people becoming thermonuclear butcher heels of history, and if enough force is on the 'collective west' side (with the will to apply it liberally and early) to forestall that.

    The moment Russia threatened nukes even once it became imperative for the wider world to support Ukraine. If Russia is allowed to get what they want because of that threat nuclear belligerence will be the new game plan for world relations. Everyone who can will try to get nukes because nobody will do jack shit to stop you if you can threaten nuclear war and on the other side the only sure deterrent is your own nukes. Threatening nuclear war and the extinction of humanity CANNOT be allowed to be an "I win" button. Use of nuclear weapons MUST be met with a good solid bootfricking by the rest of the world.

            The only choice here is Russia's. Leave Ukraine and no nukes, stay in Ukraine and make their demographic collapse even worse but don't use nukes, or use a nuke and get fricked in the most absurd curb stomp humanity has ever seen as everyone including their "friends" jump on them.

            Again, if Russia dares use a nuke they MUST be crushed. There is no "choice" for the rest of the world after Russia fires one off. Also you need to pull your head out of your ass and realize Russia isn't the Soviet Union. On paper they've got lots of nukes. In reality it's a fair bet only a handful even work anymore and of those many likely can't even launch because Russia is so plagued by unbelievable amounts of corruption.

    >What are Ukraine's chances of winning

    Basically a done deal at this point. Russia lost pretty much any hope of even securing a face-saving symbolic victory after Bucha.

    >also what are Russia's chances of using the nukes?

    Increasingly likely by the day because they've basically staked everything on this and defeat at this point would put the Russian state in immediate danger of collapse. Although I don't think the Russians would waste their opportunity with a nuclear attack on Ukraine. That would simply make NATO intervention unavoidable or even cause the alliance to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on Russia. If the Russians decide that Ukraine is worth going nuclear over, they're gonna launch a an all-out surprise attack on NATO

    >Or is Russia's threats empty?

      Black person, if we launch a First Strike on Russia, China is going to treated as an extension of Russia and be annihilated too. They have literally no way to tell a difference between an American ICBM heading for Harbin and one heading for Vladivostok until it's too late. Even if they did, the backstabbing yellow vermin would likely try to pull a Pearl Harbor and attack a now weakened America without warning so they can be undisputed Masters of the Earth.

        Because the Chinese are smart enough to make an immediate statement denouncing Russia and refusing to aid them at the very least the moment that cork pops. It's actually in their best interest to not just denounce Russia, but make it clear they'll actively aid in it's subjugation. The benefits from doing so are massive and even include the potential to gain a lot of land.

    Russia will use nukes, ukraine will lose and get regime change and the west will fold like a b***h . Why you ask , its because this war is not an existential threat of west, namely amerimutts. Its a war happening halfway across the world and amerimutts playing their moronic foreign policy where it shouldnt will only last for so long.
    Nato trannies from discord seething due to hormonal imbalance about how nuclear blackmail le bad! doesnt change the fact that US politicians and policy makers have backroom daily meetings with their biggest supporters aka Wall street giants . This current period is peak for US, people from all over the world would rather settle in US, empower their economy make more money flow in. No matter how much discord trannies delude themselves US wont give it all up just to avenge some irrlevant east euro shithole which didnt even exist untill 9 months ago before western media made them famous .

    That being said, keeping appearance and impotent seething goes a long way so we might see NATO blowing up some russian ship or two. Wouldnt matter because Putin would have already won,he wont escalate ,Kremlin will weave a propaganda story of accident like someone smoking in magazine room or something lol and russian will cope with that.

      Neither is for Russia, so they won't use nukes. And if Putin tries to do it for some moronic reason, it will be kiled before, because then the West would be forced to destroy Russia for real, instead of simply stopping russian imperial ambition.

      Nukes are only useful as a last resort weapon against annihilation. Their offensive use or as black mail means only suicide. That's why nukes haven't been used even between countries like Pakistan and India.

              Indeed. Russia would have been balkanized or wiped out in the 90s. Instead we left them on their own, with the EU prosecuting a mutually beneficial Ostpolitik to make things better. Reportedly even the US helped them at some point against chechens.

              But nope, they had to go full moron with their Russian Empire 3.0 bullshit and now they're going to pay the price of their betrayal, ending as a minor nation with their shit pushed in by Turkey and China.

                Putin will be seen as weak leader. This will result in some kind of power struggle in Moscow. Simply because russians don't like weak leaders. So several russian "strong men" try to seize power. To back up their claim they need armed men in russia. An army fighting in Ukraine is of no use in this scenario.

          You don't understand it, guys. I'm Russian and I'm telling you: there is zero chance of that. Not even 0,00001%, but actual 0%. It's impossible to carry out any kind of revolution, revolt or a simple riot from the inside of Russia. The last our chance was at the Bolotnaya square 11 years ago. But now all is lost. All the political opposition leaders are either dead or imprisoned or left the country. The ones who don't support Putin are frightened and disunited, they'd rather flee or hide than try to fight anybody. While he's surrounded by absolutely loyal people to him, the FSB, the FSO and the National Guard will always be on his side. 2 million of professional killers who are better trained, better equipped and better armed than the actual Russian army are ready to do whatever it takes to defend the president of Russia from his people. Thus now the only thing that can overthrow Putin is a US marine division taking over Moscow.

            Of course the russian population is cucked, but a palace coup is still possible. Anybody can be loyal while they're not sent to die in Ukraine and still get paid. But with every military setback, Putin loses more and more streed cred and the money will stop flowing as before. At some point the boyards will try to strike at the czar if he becomes too weak or attempts national suicide with nukes.

        Putin will be seen as weak leader. This will result in some kind of power struggle in Moscow. Simply because russians don't like weak leaders. So several russian "strong men" try to seize power. To back up their claim they need armed men in russia. An army fighting in Ukraine is of no use in this scenario.

    Ukraine CAN'T accept a partial victory, they have a strong claim to all of their pre-2014 territory and the support of all NATO, and their population would never accept going back to the way things are post-2014 after Russia invaded them and behaved like a bunch of savage Orcs.

    NATO CAN'T back away from Ukraine, doing so would be an invitation to encroach upon the rest of Europe, appeasement is a strategy that has never worked. If Russia uses a nuke, NATO's only choice will be a decapitation nuclear strike against the entire Russian nuclear arsenal.

    The ball is in Russia's court. They started this war and they can choose to stop it at any time, but they will lose all of their Ukrainian territories, that much is absolutely certain. Whether they choose to lose all of Russia as well is up to them.

          Western elites could appease Putin and ease up on their technological cartel behavior that keeps us vulnerable to NOOKS.. they fricked up so early on by thinking it was a good idea to lay a trap for Putin, now theyve pushed him to nuclear blackmail and put themselves into a position where they themselves cant back down. Appeasement should have happened already but it's still better to try that than just saying "lol just fricking N000K us lol" now

              Technology wasn't progressing as quickly and there weren't literal doomsday devices. The west is not prepared for nuclear war and it would be better to delay the onset at least until everything is set in place for the highest survivability. Instead the elite are just accepting 30-70 percent of their citizenry starving or being irradiated to death.

                Delusional and insecure morons. Without cities and trade there's no civilization, and those 2 countries would go back to subsistence farming at best, where "rich people" would no longer be actually rich anymore. Rich buttholes are the ones with more to lose in a nuclear war, and they already subvert goverments just to earn a little more each year in their greed.

                Those rich refuges are only useful to temporaly avoid conventional wars or civil strife, nothing more.

                Surviving for 6 months is useless after a nuclear war that would vaporize all their riches and places of power were they earn it. They would become nothing but useless idiots at the mercy of their security details. Having a hideout for rough times is okay, pretending it would be their salvation in a global nuclear war is delusional.

        Actually, why do you think Putin would die?
        Have you actually considered his options?

        He could very easily come out in public tv and said that what he did was wrong and that he wishes to set everything right. You make him sound like a sockpuppet of some satanic cult that would slaughter him the moment he stood up to them.

        But if that were the case, the same would apply to his "handlers". They also have good reasons to not want to die in nuclear fire, and you can be 100% sure that if it came to worst, they WOULD die.

              If Putin has nothing to fear from his boyards or people, he would already get the frick out of Ukraine and told a bullshit propaganda story to cover his ass.
              The fact that he doubled down after the initial disaster proves he's afraid and it can happen.

                My counter point would be that the goal should then be to DELAY THE ONSET OF THE APOCALYPSE while preparations are being made. Imagine if instead of having a pharmaceutical cartel people could actually stock up on insulin, antibiotics, etc; so many less would die. They're not doing that except handing out some shitty iodine pills, and even then they still have to be purchased for exorbitant prices.
                Look even the RAND corporation agrees:

                I think the hope is they might be in the air when the bombs drop or scramble to their bunkers. The yachts can last without maintenance for months. Some billionaire, i forget which, was talking about it on a podcast.

                Absolute horseshit, there's a bunch of countries with bunkers and shit but they keep their citizens deprived of basic medical needs and pharmaceuticals. If the cartel behavior was stopped then people could have a bad ass bug-out-bag and they could build fallout shelters. Instead everyone seems content on being massacred.

                honestly only Putin (or whoever controls him) fricked up by starting the war. The blame lies exclusively with Russia and nobody else.

                Russia is not entitled to (super)power status.
                Russia is not entitled to have a sphere of influence.
                Russia is not entitled to a gas monopoly or warm water port.
                Russia is not entitled to be a "pole" of a multipolar world.
                Russia is not entitled to being allowed to destroy a nation at its leisure unopposed.

                If I wanted to blame west for something, it would be not fully living up to its own standards as each misstep and oversight has left available a vector of attack for the russian infection. I don't even blame west for trying to show russia kindness, even if that too was interpreted as weakness.

                > not every security guard hates their employer
                It's not about hate, but survival and the breaking of the social contract. A post nuclear war world would be a return to feudalism for a while. If doesn't matter if there's a dude calling himself the president from a bunker without the means to enforce the authority of the state because there's no state anymore

                In the end, you seem to be the type of insecure westerner that Putins hopes to scare. You don't get why nuclear black mail cannot be allowed, the same reason why "we don't (publically) negotiate with terrorists" is a thing.

                >Is how the world has worked since the 1960s.

                supplies of medicine enforce all the power they need and i believe they count on most of the air forces surviving or at least like half or some shit because they have these elaborate decontamination plans.. you can bet your ass there will be drones all over the place after doomsday
                >we don't (publically) negotiate with terrorists" is a thing
                they already negotiated with Putin up to this point and my counter argument was that they should then back off for awhile and help their populations actually get fricking prepared for WW3 instead of shitty iodine tablets.. not to mention negotiation is exactly what stopped the cuban missile crisis through backend channels

                You still don't understand. Hopefully you will once. If you want to put your faith into something, then pray to God.

                the way people here talk about gambling with nuclear war is irrational or autistically overly rational depending on how you look at it

                So if US tells russia that they need to gtfo from Ukraine or the US will nuke russia, russia should gtfo from Ukraine so they wouldn't gamble with nuclear destruction?

                Why? russia should submit to the US if the US threatens with nuclear war.

                the west is supposed to be the better side and be able to handle geopolitics without provoking a nuclear war

                it's like how the cops wrongfully killed george floyd (among others).. their job is to be competent professionals that deal with sick people without killing anyone because they will always exist and have access to world changing technology

                The real mistake was 2014, then February 2022 and now. Oh plus the economically and medically vulnerable populations thanks to their artificial scarcity managerial bureaucratic control schemes.

                So even if you think they should just go ahead with it and do WW3 the fact is that most of the western population is not prepared for it and if they really wanted to the institutional oligarchs could ease up on cartel production models and help the citizenry stock up on essentials instead of some shitty expensive iodine tablets. This would require appeasement for a window of time if it were instituted today, although I know it wont. I'm just saying if we are talking about who should do the right thing in this situation at the present moment.

                No is not. Is how the world has worked since the 1960s. And you don't become the leader of a country like Russia or the US without being a cynic survivor somehow.
                > not every security guard hates their employer
                It's not about hate, but survival and the breaking of the social contract. A post nuclear war world would be a return to feudalism for a while. If doesn't matter if there's a dude calling himself the president from a bunker without the means to enforce the authority of the state because there's no state anymore

                In the end, you seem to be the type of insecure westerner that Putins hopes to scare. You don't get why nuclear black mail cannot be allowed, the same reason why "we don't (publically) negotiate with terrorists" is a thing.

                honestly only Putin (or whoever controls him) fricked up by starting the war. The blame lies exclusively with Russia and nobody else.

                Russia is not entitled to (super)power status.
                Russia is not entitled to have a sphere of influence.
                Russia is not entitled to a gas monopoly or warm water port.
                Russia is not entitled to be a "pole" of a multipolar world.
                Russia is not entitled to being allowed to destroy a nation at its leisure unopposed.

                If I wanted to blame west for something, it would be not fully living up to its own standards as each misstep and oversight has left available a vector of attack for the russian infection. I don't even blame west for trying to show russia kindness, even if that too was interpreted as weakness.

                Your stupid vatnik brain can't comprehend that it is not just about Ukraine. Unless russia is eviscerated right now, it will be Estonia next, then the rest of the Baltics... and so forth.

                No amount of hysteria on your part will change anything, neither would mine if I felt that way.

                You should just be thankful that the west does not think the way you seem to think Putin does or Moscow and all of siloviki hidden bunkers would have been glassed by now.

                youre trusting putin's perception and he already miscalculated once...

    Imagine the scenario:

    >Putin offers a peace deal - Pre-2014 borders for Ukraine, release of all prisoners, withdrawal of all forces and consent to commitment to pay suitable reparations
    yes yes imperialists would say this is a suicide and russians (which?) would never accept it etc.
    But imagine.
    What would the west do?
    Agree and drop the sanctions (assuming the provisions are being followed in spirit as well as in letter)?
    or
    Refuse and come up with some justification to continue war until Moscow falls? Perhaps citing danger that it be only a ploy to buy more time to put russian nuclear forces into working order?

      I mean, if there is a single point of Russian success in this war, it's the apparently limitless ability of Russian government to convince Russians that the tsar can do literally nothing wrong even if the "truth" changes from day to day.

      The West would absolutely accept that and I would imagine that they would lift almost all sanctions virtually over night. Prior to this all the big players were just interested in doing business and getting rich. Probably there is nothing more the west could ask for than to have a now humbled Russia go back to selling them cheap fuel
