Yes the wolf was presented looked cool then realised it was a costume and a bunch of cats taped together underneath.
What is NATOS or the US response if Russia nukes Kiev? Have they started what would happen?
It won't happen. And if it did firstly a full conventional attack wipe out most of the Military in Russia siloes and alike. They don't need boots on the ground for that NATO and the USA. Attack is not invasion that way. Or they could just emp most of the place.
That would be the end of humanity
how exactly ?
If NATO attacks Russian silos the Nukes will start flying both ways. Game over
Your assuming they actually work now. I wager there has been a lot of scenarios run now on this. 8 months ago Russia was a considered a partial superpower. We were wrong.
Interesting snippet from Russian TV. One of the guys is saying that when the DPR and Kherson etc become 'part of Russia' after the sham referendums, the regime is going to claim that Ukraine is currently occupying Russian territory. Looks like Putin is doing this so he can claim Russia is now at war with Ukraine (which appears to be a serious escalation).
’passed’?
Think they translated ‘rubber stamped’ incorrectly.
There is always the man portable one, the M28 Davy Crockett, 20t blast, fired from a tripod mount.It started getting silly, as the blast was larger than the range of the launcher. In the US, they would be called tactical nukes, as distinct from strategic nukes.
Unfortunately, an FSB Gecko would get you.
I am sure people comes from North Korea,Cuba,Eritrea,Syria,Iran and Venezuela to fight for Putin,if they are allowed out of the country and can afford a ticket.
Putin is speaking now
Why hold any semblance of token democracy just annexe them kill torture anyone who doesn't want to be cannon fodder for Russian expansion or using Ukrainian citizens to kill each while moscovites eat caviar
I think this is putting it up to the west either we confront because appease it will buy time and allow further Russian expansion
Sad to say Russia won't accept defeat and its people are ok with been pawns.
If Russia use Nukes they will lose even Chinas support which they are absolutely reliant on.
Partial mobilisation announced. Calling up 300k reservists.
So is it still a Special Military Operation?
Usually when someone says "I am not bluffing" that's usually a good indication they are.
That was a bit of a damp squid...
Oh no he has nukes yawwwn .
Meanwhile Russian realeased polls showing the support for the referendums
They will probably sanction pretty much everything they can think of and will almost certainly sanction any country that takes anything from Russia.
Though the much larger issue will be how China reacts. If tactical Nuclear weapons were deployed then Pandora's box will have been opened. China does not want tactical nuclear weapons to become a standard tool in warfare.
He has to call up the reserves, or in other words my army isn't big enough. I have lots of weapons and will use them, more likely trying to convince the home audience everything is fine. Everything I've seen over the last 7 months says to me he's full of ****.
They are discussing lifting some sanctions..
I wonder does this play signify the end of the conflict from his perspective i.e say LNR/DNR are ours but Kherson has voted to stay with you so we will leave (to try give some legitimacy to these elections?)
We'll the fact their "polls", in Kherson are saying 80% support for joining Russia, I would say that's doubtful.
But who knows what goes on in their heads at this stage.
Will they arm their reserves better then the LNR and DPR units I wonder? Surely they have slightly better stuff that they didn't want to waste on conscripted Ukrainians.
A good and long read to explain Russian Nuclear Doctrine since it's been brought up quite a bit now. Just published couple days ago

What's the difference between a reservist and a conscript? Is a reservist a semi pro soldier? Better trained ?
A conscript is someone with no previous military experience who has been called up for the first time.
A reservist is a former conscript or contracted soldier and will have previous military experience.
I'd imagine half of those silos will emit a puff of dust or confetti going on how well 'oiled' the military machine is proving to be. Just more shadow puppetry from an emaciated rat trying to make people believe it's a bear.
