The last couple of months have shown the lie that is the 'strong Russia.' Paper tiger, the only threat they have left is the nukes.
"Special Operation to demilitarise NATO".
They can't even defeat the farmers the next field over from them.
These deluded clowns put Comical Ali to shame.
Okay, I'll do that and in return you go read about what apostrophes are for
Of ffs that's not my point but try create an argument anyway.
They'll get immense support from the west after this. A huge influx of investment and jobs into the country as part of the rebuild as a major FU to a weakened Russia.
Grammar Nazi 😂😂😂
Indeed. I know what a question mark is and I even know how to structure a question .
You stating that
"You assuming that if he were to give an insane order to launch nuclear weapons he'd be overruled by the military?"
That mangled statement/question simply makes no sense whatsoever
If you had stated "Are you assuming that if he were to give an insane order to launch nuclear weapons he'd be overruled by the military?"
Are you assuming
that if he were to give an insane order to launch nuclear weapons he'd be overruled by the military?
Then that indeed would be a bona fide question
You starting a sentence with " You assuming that"
You assuming that"
Indicates you believe I've made an assumption somewhere which you are asking about. As does your previous statement
"But what makes you so certain it's all an empty bluff"
And no I made no such assumption
Any chance of a reply that isn't prickly and aggressive and personal? FFS
Untrue. Check the comment if in doubt.
But let me ask you that same question - any chance of a reply that isn't prickly and aggressive and personal?
Tbh Its evident from the last couple of comments here you're looking to start fights with posters.
You're on your own with that.
Goodbye
I've also just been done, apparently for a question mark by the same poster
We better watch out. We're obviously on dangerous territory 😅
New drone footage has emerged of dead bodies lying on the streets of Bucha on March 13th with Russian tanks also in view (not that this will come as a surprise to anyone).
The Irishman serving in the LPR.
With a serious question mark on whether the nukes are viable. And then of course the newest "Wunderwaffen" the Satan missile. They are a pack of bluffers!!
Part of me wonders if they ever tried to launch those Nukes…could there be a decent chance of them misfiring on launch and possibly nuking themselves?
The war has shown that they’re not that good at maintaining cold-war era kit…and most of those nukes probably date from those times.
33 billion is a lot of kit for Ukraine. Between the UK saying Russia should be pushed out of Ukraine entirely (one wonders do they mean Crimea as well) and the US raining gear down on Ukraine, the intelligence picture must look bad for Russia.
Wonder if Putin regrets moving past the Donbas region.
Well one thing that the Russians do well is launch rockets as is evident by their space program.
unlike the rest of their claims about their military which has been proven to be rubbish the last few months.
If a few nuclear warheads land in the UK and they get the ferry over here, do we send them to Rwanda while we process them?
I think, based on that, we can rule out that it's Mick Wallace.
Is there a link S? If it's datable that pretty much nails the Russian coffin shut as far as evidence of atrocities go. There's just too much evidence.
They're among the best rocket scientists in the world so that part should be fine, the nukes themselves could be another matter. I read a book that mentioned this ages ago and I was surprised how delicate that can be. They need a lot of maintenence over time. The electronics degrade, the chemical explosives that set off the reaction/blast degrade, they use polonium and tritium as alpha particle accelerators to kick off the big bang and the first is pretty much dead at a year, the second though isn't as good an emitter lasts about five years in useful terms. The radiation itself can weaken internal components over time. There are a lot of paths for failure to go bang, or at least the full on bang. YOu could have one that fizzles but the chemical explosive spreads very nasty radiocative material for miles, which could be worse long term.
I wonder how much they'll get for Mar-A-Lago.
I think this is why a lot will wonder if the nukes are maintained at all. If we're seeing lumps of metal replaced with cardboard and ration packs and medical supplies well out of date, the idea that the nukes are maintained immaculately just seems ridiculous
Ukrainians taking a leaf out of the Viet Cong tactic's in Vietnam.
I read in The Sunday Independant that the pro Putin automobile protesters in dublin said something to the effect that they have a right - IN IRELAND- to express their point of view. Jesus wept
It's not really. The current situation is a conventional invasion of a smaller country by its larger neighbour. Vietnam was a case of one half of a country seeking the overthrow of the government of the other half, and running a guerrilla campaign in its enemy territory to assist the process. It was in no way a simple case of "Vietnamese vs American". One can certainly criticise America for its approach to the Vietnam War, but to say that "Vietnam = Ukraine" and "America = Russia" just doesn't stand up to any scrutiny.
There is, yes : the Russian denials of their own involvement were always preposterous.
The uK raine president should threaten Russia that if it does not stop using all types of artillary in Ukraine by midnight , 29 April 2022 and have COMPLETELY withdrawn ALL of its troops and ALL army equipment by MAY 3 , 2022 that UK will unleash a barrage of appropriate artellary on targeted Russian assets, interests, etc, wherever they are as you have no right to be on our land as we have done nothing to you . And stop your gibberish , small talk , deflections , kite flying, misinformation spreading, fake news, nothing to see here, , etc ,etc..
the only confession that UK might consider making is that if any of their vehicles get stuck that the UK will help to help it on its way but only if it agrees to a JOHN DEERE tractor is used to relieve stuck vehicles
AND see what Putins response is.
If he misses the deadine then start with that bridge
Sounds like Donald Sutherlands character in The eagle has Landed😎😁

Just come back from Happy Hour at the pub?
Standing next to them, and staring back from the mirror, probably.
Good man Francie, nothing like a bit of Shinner Porn. I suppose it just goes to prove again the old adage, that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, with benefits :)
