I have a helmet, gas mask, CBRN suit and a table to hide under - Putin’s got nothing!
(Ironically this is a lot more than his own troops probably have…)
Oh I don't know....have you seen the size of his table?

Why is it a personal attack to say you work in a call centre? /snob
I had thought that's what you did, my mistake.
Are you implying he’d let anyone apart from himself underneath it? Assuming Trump isn’t already there wearing out his knee pads…
I guess we’ll just have to see what happens in the next few months. I’d bet my pension on there being no nuclear war though…
Some people on here probably do work in a call center and you're insulting them with your use of it as an insult directed at me
Again you've taken it as an insult, when it was just meant to convey your lack of knowledge on the subject compared to the person you were saying is clueless.
Working in a bank is just as relevant to the point. So lets try again shall we
And lol at saying someone with 22 years military service has less of a clue about military matters than a guy who works in a bank in Leeds
I'm saying that would result in a nuclear war as Russia doesn't have the conventional means to defend itself so would have to use nukes. I don't think that's even a particular controversial take.
If we did start striking Russian forces in Ukraine I'd be heading to an airport and looking for a flight to South America.
You are not being clear on what you mean.
Really? (And I asked this already) Do you think Russia will use ICBMs because their forces lose and get pushed out of Ukraine?
Or are you saying they would use ICBMs when their own homeland is being attacked and they are losing conventionally?
Only homophobic, racist bigots look up to dictators like Putin.
You didn't respond to my initial post though, I didn't suggest a nuclear war will happen in the next few months, you said that we could wipe out Russian forces in Ukraine and it would be over in a few days.

Russia would target military targets in Western Europe with tactical nuclear weapons because that is the only way they would have to stop themselves being bombed into the stone age, we would respond in kind, this would result eventually into a full nuclear exchange likely between Britain, the US, and Russia - at minimum.
They would use nuclear tipped cruise missiles fired from their strategic bombers on airfields in Poland and any Western European country where we were launching attacks. We would then respond with nuclear weapons on their military targets, and then they would use ICBM's I expect, and we would too.
Apologies, the post rate in here is ridiculous and I’ve probably missed more than one reply.
If we chose to intervene directly and not just by supplying weapons, then Russia has already escalated the conflict beyond it’s current level, it’s not just on a whim because we fancied blowing some **** up ourselves one day.
None of this takes place on Russian soil, so this is still purely in self defence of Ukraine due to the invasion. If they start losing forces, which they will, and fast, the idea they’d instantly resort to nukes is laughable - it would open them up to instant reprisals on a similar level and no-one is going to be that stupid. Putin talks a strong game but he doesn’t have the balls to back it up, and I honestly don’t believe much of his military would actually follow through with the orders.
If I’m proven wrong, you can enjoy knowing this fact from your beach villa in Argentina…
Did he invade in January 2021? Took him a full 13 months to build up his forces did it? Almost sounds like he wasn't ready.
It’s not their entire military - just the forces in Ukraine.I'm pretty confident Russia has a plan for a war with NATO, they didn't build all those strategic bombers and tactical nukes purely as a deterrent. Left with no other option they'll fire them at military targets, why wouldn't they? From a Western point of view it is "mad", from a Russian point of view it is part of their military doctrine and the only way they can defend themselves. They aren't just going to allow their entire military to be bombed into the ground while their bombers sit home in base, would we do that?
It depends what you understand about ready. There was no indication during Trump's time he was going to invade.
He did not move any troops until Biden was in power, the signal to invade came in spring 2021, A few months in to Biden term. I think that says a lot.
