Russia nuclear war training exercise 40 million people involved.

Cheerful Spring

The Russian government has launched a nationwide civil defence training exercise to ensure the country is properly prepared in the event of a nuclear, chemical and biological attack from the West.

Amid growing international tensions, particulary over Russia's conduct in Syria, the Defence Ministry-run Zvezda TV network announced last week: "Schizophrenics from America are sharpening nuclear weapons for Moscow."

Lasting three days, the exercise bing run by the Ministry for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters (EMERCOM) will involve 200,000 emergency personnel and the co-operation of 40 million civilians.

Russia suspends nuclear agreement, ends uranium research pact with United States
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-usa-nuclear-uranium-idUSKCN12521J


President Obama faces an increasingly stark choice in Syria — he can order American military action or watch thousands of women and children die as the rebel stronghold of Aleppo falls.

So far, he has shown no willingness to launch a U.S. military response, but White House officials told NBC News Monday they are now considering escalating the U.S. involvement in Syria's civil war, including unspecified "actions…that would further underscore the consequences of not coming back to the negotiating table."

Until now, Obama could point to the possibility of a diplomatic solution, as Secretary of State John Kerry won Russia's agreement on a ceasefire.

But the ceasefire never happened, and the diplomatic effort has now collapsed, with the U.S. suspending talks with Russia.

And as the civilian death toll rises, Obama may come under increasing pressure to act, though there is no sign yet that a strike is imminent.

Would Obama risk war with the Russians?

At this stage Obama won't be doing any major military campaigns this close to the end of his presidency.. That's a problem for the next US President.

As for the Russians the whole charade is for the benefit of one audience here and that's the Russian People. Best way to keep a people in check, fear.

Putin is a lunatic. He's trying to revive a "great" Russia and he wants to humiliate the US and separate the Anglo Saxon (Russia's ideas) from the rest of Europe. Brexit is a joy to him and the distancing of The EU from the US. If he can undermine NATO too all the better. He will continue with his hybrid wars and a risky brinksmanship with the US over Syria and the South China Sea. While US foreign policy is bad enough it is Preferable compared to the cynical ethic free power lunacy of Putin.

I'm sure many Europeans would have preferred if "**** the EU" Washington hadn't started messing around in the east by attempting to incorporate former Soviet states into NATO. Russia's actions are pushback rather than provocation.

If Moscow was anywhere near as provocative as Washington it would be making defence pacts with South and Central American states, putting missile defences in Guatemala, and funding pro Russian politics in Mexico.

ChikiChiki

Wouldn't surprise me if both US and Russia start bombing the be jaysus out of each other Syria. Both sides seem to be acting like petulant kids lately. Pity the EU is so spineless and doesn't seem to have an independent criticizing voice for itself as it continues to be the US lapdog.

Half a million Syrians wouldn't be dead and 10 million wouldn't be refugees if Obama hadn't unleashed ISIS on Syria to overthrow Assad in order to install a puppet who would allow Western oil companies to rape the country.

Don't kid yourself with this preschooler excuse of humanitarian intervention or that Assad is a "brutal dictator". Only the naive and the gullible swallow that line.

Exactly. Funny how people eat up the media narrative that USA = Good and Russia = Bad. Sadly there are no good guys in this war but if I was to support anyone it would be the legitimate president of Syria, Assad. Things were better the way they were before. Even many Syrians who supported the uprising wish to return to the pre uprising days.

Russia conduct similar exercises on a regular enough basis, so I won't be pulling the Govt.-issued iodine tablets out just yet. I suspect this is scaremongering rather than a credible threat.

Don't believe everything you happen to read when it comes from russia .

This says it all really

"In addition to the nationwide exercise, EMERCOM has announced its intention to build underground facilities beneath Moscow to shield 100 per cent of the capital's population from a nuclear attack."

Why not believe it?, it's been on almost every news channel on the planet so far.

And the Moscow bunkers have been under construction for years according to US intelligence.

Anybody denying that things are very tense between Russia and America need to wake up, Ash Carter seems determined to start WW3, there's a lot of talk on both sides that things could get hot fairly quickly.

In truth I feel an irrepressible urge to swat away some of the nonsense I see coming out of people's mouths on this issue. Simply sitting back and allowing bad information to be repeated ad nauseam until it has the weight of consensus is not a particularly desirable state of affairs.

The flying mouse

It was more scary in the 70,s early eighty's , or maybe only seemed that way,

Personally I think the real trouble will/might come from the chineses as they try to push for being top dog with as much influence as US n Russia ,Its all a big game played out to a world stage with the unfortunate pawns being mostly innocent people, Same as it ever was.

The flying mouse

violence occurred in the Middle East, including the Iran–Iraq War, the Soviet–Afghan War, the 1982 Lebanon War, the Nagorno-Karabakh War, the Bombing of Libya in 1986, and the First Intifada in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Islamism became a powerful political force in the 1980s and many terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda started.

1989 saw the overthrow and attempted overthrow of a number of governments led by communist parties, such as in Hungary, the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 in China, the Czechoslovak "Velvet Revolution", Erich Honecker's East German regime, Poland's Soviet-backed government, and the violent overthrow of the Nicolae Ceauşescu regime in Romania. The Cold War ended in the early 1990s with the successful Reunification of Germany and the USSR's demise after the August Coup of 1991.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_1945%E2%80%931989#1980.E2.80.931989

Big long list of wars there that ended in 1989, well most of them some of them have continued on in some form or another. enjoy

A nuclear war would be catastrophic.
In the space of a few minutes it would all be over.
Once US missiles would be in the air it would make no difference if Russian missiles were fired. Every major Russian city would be flattened.
What would be the point on levelling every major US city in reply?
Anti missile systems would not get all the warheads because there would be multiple bombs in each missiles and multiple dummies to use up interceptors.
Two whole continents should be rendered uninhabitable for years.
With every infrastructure vital to sustain survivors destroyed and farming collapsed the majority would perish from famine.
The few who survived would be reduced to medieval levels of existence probably returning to living in castles and fortresses and slavery and serfdom and the use of horse power.
War would be fought again with swords axes arrows spears and clubs.
Generations to come would marvel at the ghostly ruins of the cities and folklore would be full of tales of flying silver birds and great ships and towers that reached the skies before the ancients ones provoked the wrath of the gods.
