Thermobarics are not banned.
Certain sorts of cluster bombs are banned not all of them, and Russia never agreed or signed up to the ban so are free to use them.
yes - who said TB's were - bellingcat interview you can watch from yesterday where they are verifying footage on the cluster bomb videos to see if those they used should be condemned.

I'm irate that the IOC thinks sport is beyond politics and their playground games shouldn't be impacted ;
North Korea folks, obviously can't rise up, but before the same status is attributed to Russia, their population should not be under false pretences.
 
Hmm.

So if they came knocking on our door you wouldn't fight?

I'm an office worker with no aggression or military will. I'm fit and healthy, that's all.

But one thing I can say, if they came to our country and tried to change the way I lived I'd be there with a gun ready to have a damn good go at fighting them. Of course I'd die fairly quickly, but at least I'd fought.

Meanwhile those that didn't can live a different life unable to voice their views and be washed with state controlled media.

I imagine all of Ukraine are fighting. I doubt very few are saying "ok our army, govn, can you stop now and just accept were part of Russian rule again"
I thought the same when I read his comment earlier.....thank god his kind were not around in 1939....we would all be speaking German now
 
We are reminded of WW2 on a fairly regular basis including comparing Putin to Hiltler. So you know :).

There's still a generation alive who lived through WW2. IF you can find me someone alive who was there during the Mongol empire in the 1200s, then I'll give you a cookie.
 
they did in Afghanistan? remember USSR broke down a year after the pull back from Afghanistan

Imagine that's where some of the hubris came from to endeavour upon this expedition into Ukraine thinking that since the USSR was bested, then summarily destroyed from within then surely the West would also share that fate.
 
yes - who said TB's were
.
More than a few comments in this thread suggested they were which is incorrect.

Banned or not is irrelevant, Putin has no regard for legal or illegal anything so I don't know why people keep bringing it up.
 
With the likes of Culdrose probably not a great bet.

Most nuclear winter studies have serious flaws - such as assuming all bombs in an attack hit dense urban environments when in reality lots would be aimed at military and infrastructure locations which are often sparser.

But military bases won't take a huge attack to destroy, a single warhead could deal with that... the point is you'll likely have survivors in sparsely populated areas, obviously, you'd not likely have that near significant military bases.

It's highly unlikely major cities would be avoided, Russia has more than enough to target both major cities and military bases.
 
Funny is though, Chernobyl some analysts say broke down the USSR, economically that is.
If a nuclear bomb hit london, and only london, how would it effect the rest of the uk? ie the north east and scotland.

there will be a saturation of warheads upon the UK, probably a lot more than a dozen.

An honest answer is, if it was one bomb, not a lot.

There might be some fallout if the wind was in the wrong direction for a few days, but nowhere north of the Midlands and especially not Highlands of Scotland would even know there had been a bomb go off unless shown on the news.
