February 28, 20223 yr I don’t think we can underestimate Putin’s ability to do anything at this stage. No one really though he was going to go for a full on invasion of Ukraine and he did. Now Russia and it’s people have the world hitting them with all sorts of repercussions and they are becoming more and more isolated. With the number of casualties on the Russian side, this already doesn’t look like it’s going Putin’s way. When a wounded animal is backed into a corner they can do anything. He’s already shown he doesn’t care for the safety of the Russian people otherwise this would never be happening. I honestly think we cannot just think that this threat of nukes is a bluff as I think he’s insane enough to decided that if he’s losing, he will burn the world down on the way out. I so hope that for the safety of everyone that someone from inside the Kremlin saves the day and knocks him off for good before this goes to the point of no return.
February 28, 20223 yr Piers Morgan, writing in The Sun, has said the answer to this is the US taking out the Russian forces in Ukraine but Biden is too weak to do it. A strong US President would. He should launch US air strikes where it hurts and knock all Putin's forces out in and around Ukraine. What will he do then? He won't use nukes as that guarantee Russia's destruction too. America could end this swiftly within hours. On and order the CIA to kill Putin. I agree. Hit them hard and fast. Where's Dubya when you need him! Are you f***ing thick? :huh:
February 28, 20223 yr Why would it start WWIII? Putin is a tyrant and a bully so it needs someone to stand up to him. Don't think Biden's the man though. :( Not sure if you're trolling at this point Chris - if they US directly get involved with their own troops or direct actions and Russia makes an attack back then because there is NATO and lots of different treaties, pacts and agreements, all of a sudden you get the entire world involved in a war. Right now it is not at that stage and there is a large chance Putin will stop once he either has control of the East of Ukraine. There's still a high chance of diplomacy ending the war.

Right now it is not at that stage and there is a large chance Putin will stop once he either has control of the East of Ukraine. There's still a high chance of diplomacy ending the war. Theoretically, I think that the only two countries that realistically could get involved without a world esr would be Finland and Sweden.
February 28, 20223 yr Looks like he's threatening nukes because he's not getting his way, such small dick energy. rIdLtivYIV4
February 28, 20223 yr Theoretically, I think that the only two countries that realistically could get involved without a world esr would be Finland and Sweden. I don't think Putin has any interest to attack other countries than Ukraine in the West anyway. It's been about Ukraine since 2004. He cannot even control the war in one country let alone several. Plus he doesn't have allies apart from Belarus, which is not really an ally, more like "extension".
February 28, 20223 yr Not Putin uniting the West, the EU and NATO more than they've been before, as well as isolating himself for decades to come. A literal clowb
February 28, 20223 yr Putin is an isolated rat, and they are dangerous - but everyone around him will not want to see Russia obliterated from the face of the planet (along with the rest of us), not to mention the Russian people suffering economic pain for the forseeable future if they don't come to sort of arrangement to get sanctions lifted. Vlad The Inhaler might have prepared for a few years of back-up of resources via China, but they will run out eventually and China will not want to go the same route now it's seen what a unified West is willing to do. Invading Ukraine via NATO would be insane. One nuclear blast would be enough to trigger a response, and many will still recall Chernobyl. Ukraine and the fallout spread everywhere, Dorset was mildly radioactive for years afterwards, nearer places were worse. The wind doesn't give a shit where you live. The West must react as they have done, they've put it off for 20 years now, but the reality is if someone threatens you with nuclear weapons then you are basically saying "help yourself" to anything they want if you give in. And as we saw a mere 84 years ago, it only takes one power-mad mass-murdering ruthless nutter to try and take over the world, quickly joined by another 2. Democracy is not forever, and if you want it you have to fight for it sometimes.
February 28, 20223 yr LOL. Putin is now sending Russia's economy back to the 1990's. Russia was traumatized by what happened to their country in those times which is one reason why Putin has managed to maintain popularity in Russia because of the economy, NOT ANYMORE! The Russian people will know what they need to do.
February 28, 20223 yr The thought of Putin using nuclear weapons on the West is too grim to be really thinking of. I would have thought that Hitler would have done the same if he had the opportunity in his final days - so narcissistic and power mad. With Putin, one can only hope that there's a few layers of approval before launching these weapons and not just a single "red button" as he amd Russia would go down with them.
February 28, 20223 yr Now it looks like Moscow stock exchange will not be opening today. Tick tock Putin, time is running out for you.
February 28, 20223 yr Putin and Russia WILL lose this war, they've now having to deal with not just the brave, heroic Ukrainian soldiers so far kicking their ass but also most of the developed, democratic countries using economic and cyber warfare on Putin's ass. Thank you Anonymous. Putin will condemn his country to shame for generations.
February 28, 20223 yr The Chinese government might be helping Russia though with supplies, or they could be staying out of the conflict, we dont know. :unsure: Edited February 28, 20223 yr by TheSnake
February 28, 20223 yr @1498265347824177154 So we now have a situation where Liz Truss being absolutely unsuitable for her job has almost caused a nuclear war. Incredible.
February 28, 20223 yr I will not name the author of these statements, although it was this one specific person.
February 28, 20223 yr !!!! Meanwhile, the BbTory rushed to protect the Tories, surprise, surprise: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60558048 "Liz Truss AND OTHERS". No. It was just Liz Truss.
February 28, 20223 yr I mean, what do you expect appointing such an intellectual void who could probably set fire to a building by using a stapler? I was fearful weeks ago of that, and turns out I was right to be!
February 28, 20223 yr This is a very nasty situation and will inevitably escalate if Putin doesn’t get what he wants. I am not sure what the short term answer is but at least both sides are talking.
