Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

[Ayahuasca]

Looks like Putin doesn't need to press any buttons, there are plenty of nuclear takes in this thread.

Not verified but seems plausible "According to Putin's plan, Belarus’ troops had to enter Ukraine a week ago. But something went wrong. Some officers resigned, some fled Belarus and contacted us.
Conscripts are massively fleeing. Apparently, some generals opposed the participation of Belarus in the war."

Bay of pigs, Cuba. Say no more.
Obviously this is more historically complicated

Funnily enough they also got their asses handed to them

Cuban missile crisis when I was less than a year old, if I had known and could talk I'd have said nuke them.

I was an angry baby

Well just now it's not going well for the goodies. I agree.

Can believe it, or at the very least the Belorus president got cold feet after seeing the impact of sanctions on Russia.

Are you suggesting we start a nuclear war?
Nobody wins

Are you suggesting appeasement is a good idea?

There’s a big difference between defending your home country vs invading another for a man you’ve never met in a different country. No wonder so many refused.

I'd be more worried to be somewhere like Switzerland or another small country in the EU but not in NATO. Imagine a strike in the heart of the EU but without NATO support. The real worry is whether those responsible for nukes would actually take his orders or what he might do if he's on his last throw of the dice.

So we're are happy to sit back while ordinary people are bombed out of their houses.

And the solution is to bomb other ordinary people in their houses because of actions of one nutter in charge? Makes little sense.

No of course not, pretty sure my comments in this thread show that.

Nah he's got a load of cash in Switzerland, haven't Switzerland got enough bunkers to shelter the whole population or is that someone else ?

 

[Vulcan]

The Russians will want a no fly zone at this rate

their combat losses today are insane

seems to be the artillery / rockets that are doing the damage anyway?

Pretty much. Plus Ukraine would no longer be able to use drone strikes.

 

[B&W]

They were killing each other at far greater rate than any western action, and still are.

No comparison

There was no war in Iraq no Shias killing Sunnis or vice versa until after the USA invaded, raped women, killed kids and sowed the seeds of emnity between people.

As for Afghan the Taliban had a war with the northern alliance no high tech bombs or drones.

Just Google how many civilians the Americans killed in Afghan and Pak area also due to drones and air strikes. Started a insurgency in Pakistan that killed 70,000 Pakistanis.

And in the end walked out of Afghanistan with there heads in shame, say thank you to Pakistan.

Warned them that they will come and go and Pakistan will have to deal with the **** they caused and that's what happened.

And what air strikes and drone strikes and mass murders are happening now in Afghan and Iraq, isolated incidents but nothing like the **** the Americans and it's allies did.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Surely there is no way Ukraine can hold out.
The more they resist the more likely putin is to blame the rest of the world and do something stupid.

Are you suggesting they role over and surrender?

 

[Rilot]

Why are people so keen for a nuclear war?

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

 

[matthewhotdude]

Seems very quiet on the news front, ceasefire incoming? Brokered by Israel

It doesn't matter about borders and countries.
If anyone gets nuked in Europe then you're displacing 100 million people from fallout.

I think of he does anywhere it'll be northern Sweden. Because it's least population and still proves a point. Non NATO, removes a great chunk of its military. Justification? To a madman yes...

Then the world will watch or GG thanks for playing in Europe at least... Hope USA doesn't get nuked at least... It will stand by and watch. I think biden will happily sit on his hands, maybe sensible?

It's a massive psychological fist smash on the table type move though to reassert that he's to be listened to though. Bunkers won't protect their infrastructure or prevent ripples of damage through Western economies.

 

[Stumble Bum]

How many times do we have to go through the exact same boring nuclear war convo. I can't be the only one bored of it.
