declassified soviet cold war documents show 3 nukes were aimed at dublin should a general exchange take place
"German intelligence: Putin’s war in Ukraine has already claimed 50,000 dead"
My bad, I didn't look closely enough at the date...apologies
Cheerful Spring - how many accounts is it now? The leopard never changes it's spots.

Would Belfast not be the prime target on this island?
I disagree. I don't like any news outlet being banned.
I saw an article earlier that claimed Putin was willing to loose up to 50,000. Think someone, somewhere is getting info mixed up.
Yeah, but is it a Catholic nuke or Protestant nuke?
I heard it said the other day that the reason he sits so far apart is because he's afraid of catching a virus or something. Somehow I believe it.
One for the northside, one for the southside and the third for Temple Bar, just to make sure?
Fear of another Chernobyl disaster
The article, you link to, from 2015 has very little got to do with recent events.
I think people underestimate the chance of Dublin taking a hit in such a scenario. I'm looking onto the Meta EU HQ now. That's FB, Instagram and Whatsapp.
Also Twitter EU HQ here aswell. A huge part of the Ukraine success is social media.
the first two things you mentioned are proberly the areas to look at i do not really have enough background knowledge to really comment on all the likely issues on the table .My main hope obviously is an end to the war and no more killing .
Eastern Orthodox, so they hate both traditions equally...
...
They are not news outlets. They are propaganda outlets for the Russian Government but you know this already I am sure.
My bad. I'm currently looking for a photo I saw earlier of an entire several hectare residential area that is now a few inches flat, that was hit by MLRs or Grad. I'll post it when I find it, but my error doesn't not make you a LSOS.
Look at the way he walks, the size of the balls....
That's ok then, because none of those are.
Actually, it would be less risky for Vlad to drop a small one on Shannon. Would scare Europe sh*tless, and non-NATO so less risk of massive retaliation. And Mick Wallace could of course blame us for allowing US planes land in Shannon (a "legitimate target" in IRA-speak).
You're welcome to keep showing off how much you've read on all this stuff. There is a large arsenal of weaponry pointed at Russia. The country would be toast before any of them got off the ground and even if they did what could any of us do if one was coming our way?
I think it's a bluff and an anticipated one , mostly out of frustration at how much he's miscalculated almost everything. A united world, not just a united West must be eating at him.
They are Russian and Russian things are currently banned. On quality alone RT should be banned. You can still get it online if Anonymous haven't knocked it out again.
Bbbut, that's from 2015! Different conflict?
At the moment, the Russian state should be considered an enemy of the west and should not have an easy mouthpiece to spread disinformation and sow discord. They have enough bots doing that online as it is, anyway.
But the Russian state is welcome to try and rehabilitate itself through talks and concessions. However, as long as their current administration stands, I wouldn't trust them any farther than what they can be made to do, and with RT being Russian state backed, I wouldn't trust them much either.
There is one on channel 4 with the same footage
I also think people overestimate the thought which goes into nuclear war targets. from Russia's point of view, The West are all allies, we're part of that.
In a situation where nuclear powers start wiping each other out (and the rest of us with them) - they don't sit down with a list of hundreds of cities doing up the pros and cons of which to destroy. They launch their 6000 weapons at all major Western cities with a larger proportion of them going to bigger targets.
For all they know, Ireland has a secret pact with the UK to fly all of their government over here at the first sign of a launch for security. Sure what's 1 or 2 bombs directed at Dublin in 6000 to ensure they don't miss their target?
TLDR, we all die.
I doubt it, Dublin has all the datacentres and Shannon has the airport that the US uses.
Cork wouldn't get a nuke as it would just improve the city and they'd have to nuke both East Belfast & the Falls Road otherwise the Unionist and Nationalist would complain about preferential treatment.
The nuber of groups of saboteurs the Ukrainians are uncovering is both astonishing and frightening.
Denmark and Sweden joining the give Ukraine a fcuk tonne of weapons club.
Once they are not armed, you can move them around no bother....once they are armed, then it depends on what weight vehicle will set them off. Big waste of a Anti-Tank mine, if it can be triggered by a person, or a small car. Now the ones that are dropped and spread by parachute, from a mother bomb......they are seriously dangerous ( I know, I know , there's no such thing as a "Safe" mine) but they should have been banned from day one.. they are completely unpredictable in terms of what will set them off. They are supposed to explode on contact, but many do not ( designed that way. China, Russia production mainly) but after lying all day in the sunlight, the shadow of some one passing by is enough to trigger them.
Whatever about Dublin Shannon Airport would surely be targeted in the event of all out war... still unlikely at this stage. In a way the threat of nuclear armageddon is actually preventing what may have already developed into a world war in the olden times.
