Geee fucking attack the Baltics and Poland already. We all know you want to and are stupid enough to actually try, eventually.
I just want them to start as soon as possible, because that means NATO will intervene sooner and end this slaughter of Ukrainians.
I’m sick of just watching how dictators decide the fate of millions. Draft me, train me, do this with a million other people from NATO countries, send us over there and end this goddamn stupid shit.
Do you want a nuclear war? Because this is how you get a nuclear war.
I want the war in Ukraine to stop, I’m just not confident a direct conflict between Russia and NATO is our best option because we know Putin is willing to order a nuclear strike if he gets desperate, and nobody wants that to happen.
See, I’m pretty chill about the prospect of “nuclear war” because I know that
- The last successful russian nuclear test was 24 October 1990, in the Soviet Union
- Nuclear weapons require a lot of maintenance, for example, the neutron generating sources need to be replaced every 4 months
- The russian military budget, in no way, since Putin became ruler of russia, was or is able to maintain nuclear weapons
- Over the last year, russia repeatedly tried to test a nuclear weapon and failed every time (attempted (and denied) underground test in October 2022, attempted and failed nuclear torpedo test in November 2022, attempted and failed nuclear ICBM test in February 2023)
- When Wagner was entering Moscow, Putin was incredibly afraid and immediatly ready to negotiate
- Western missile dfenses can stop russian ICBM’s
Oh, and in case you didn’t notice: It’s Putin who wants to invade Poland and the Baltics. Not me.
If even 10% of Russia’s nuclear missiles work, we’re (the West) in a really bad spot.
That said, if Putin invades a NATO country, I think NATO should use any means necessary to neutralize Russia’s nuclear capability.
You think a failed land grab in Eastern Europe will make the Kremlin suicidal? Come on
I don’t think Putin will attack Poland or anyone in NATO, nor do I think he will use nukes as long as he doesn’t risk losing everything.
But we should always assume that he will use nukes if he gets desperate.
No we shouldn’t. We can think that’s a possibility, but assuming that he will is simply bad policy.
Also, he can’t simply “press the red button” because he gets upset.
We don’t know that Putin is willing to order a nuclear strike if he gets desperate. They want everyone to think that because they hope it makes people afraid of interfering in their shitty behavior.
Apparently, it’s effective on at least some people.
We don’t know that he won’t. I think he would if his position was threatened, or the Russian people faced certain loss.
Works like a charm
He’s still a unit!
Sounds a lot like Putin preparing for yet another false flag.
Putin will remind Lukashenko that tribute is required in the form of virgin humans, not just virgin mammals of any species.
That’s how they get ya
