So I go on a bike ride today on this lovely spring type sunny day to come back and see Russia is close to firing nukes....

The way I see it is he wants Ukraine as he sees it as part of Russia. But the place he hates more than anything is handing Ukraine as much arms as possible which Is destroying his army. I know we are not putting boots in Ukraine but we're putting everything else there. No w
nder he's threatening nukes. It's like we're poking the """" out the bear and thinking there will be no chance of a bite back.

I'm not saying we shouldn't help but this is getting dangerous big time.

You suggest we just let Russia do what it wants? when does it end?

Some people want boots on the ground, it's not illegal to supply arms to a nation especially when you've made it clear they will get support, Putin knew that he would hit resistance here.

I'm not a bot (lol), that's just how it comes off the Bloomberg Terminal, If I use an capitalization tool it usually messes up the grammar.
You can easily ignore me if you don't like it & you won't see my posts anymore.

That requires absolutely massive yields which reach the stratosphere, the vast majority of current active warheads are nowhere near powerful enough.

Could easily happen in a full scale exchange, even with current warheads, the problem isn't the size of the weapon but the fires which take hold for weeks and months with nobody to put them out. Cities full of chemicals, wood, plastics, etc etc everything burns up with nothing to stop it.

There's training and knowing you'll be killing millions of people. sure a large portion of people very well may fire but I bet a sizable portion wouldn't. I vaguely remember something similar happening in the U.S. where a good chunk of their missile crew couldn't bring themselves to launch on a training exercise.

The point is, they never know if it is training or the real deal, even now they might be going under training drills and not knowing if it is for real. Anyone who questions the orders are removed.

I'm sure the typical UK weather would sort that out within an afternoon, just in time of tea and crumpets.

Nope, it was verified years ago. May have been back in the late 80s? Basically it only takes one side to launch a full strike and that's enough, even if the other side never responds (unlikely) it would be enough to cause a global winter on an almost extinction level event. I.E Even without a bomb landing in Africa they would be finished as the loss of all northern hemisphere crops would mean zero food into Africa and they depend on foreign food aid for survival.

Yeah, the knock-on effects are insane. If you think of huge farming states in the USA like Iowa and Nebraska, millions of acres of farmland - all just becomes useless and irradiated, the rain that falls is radioactive, nothing grows. Bear in mind the third world gets huge amounts of food aid from the USA, all of that stops in an instant.
 
The worrying thing in my opinion is the more sanctions put upon Russia, the more we strangle them. The more frustrated and angry Puttin gets the more chance you have of a flippant decision can be made. I put it down to almost like playing a game. He’s not on the front line and he’s playing a game to take over Ukraine, the games rules keep changing and you get more and more frustrated you dont play the same way you was planning to.

Sweden not impressed, 5000 anti tank launchers, 5,000 pieces of body armour, and 5,000 helmets as well as 135,000 ration packs.

lol!

I mean, can you really imagine trying to take a city - where there are literally thousands of people running around in an urban environment with this sort of gear, dead set on defending it to the bitter end, being funded and supplied by the west, it's a literal nightmare for Putin.

It’s all academic though we don’t know what -% of crews would or not fire.
