This should be sufficient for all your tin opening needs
The Australians/New Zealanders had these "self opening tins" in WW1:
There's probably nuclear versions now.
Why can't they build proper stairways in Russia? Another former Putin ally dies after 'falling down several flights of stairs' as eight cronies are mysteriously killed | The Sun
considering all these incidents were in international airspace, there is nothing stopping an air launched first strike other than 100% solid intel as it would mean a Russian bomber being shot out of the sky.. but yes, it would be a one time only scenario
Oh they're bult properly all right its just that they are a dual purpose item, just like windows.
I didn't say they were specific to undersea Cables .
I just confirmed that they existed at some point.
How would I possibly know? I wouldn't, I'm not a Russian bomb-maker. The same way you don't know jack either because you're not a Russian strategist so wind your neck in.
What I do know is that we supply infrastructure through our data centers here to a lot of US Federal services and that makes us a viable target, be it at sea or through cyber warfare, we are definitely a target regardless of what you think.
(Edit for clarity)
The US is funding a lot of the arms being sent to Ukraine, if Russia knows whats being spent and where it's being spent they can plan in advance for what may hit them down the road. Information is power - They can also then target whatever companies are producing the most effective tool against Russian aggression rather then going directly for USA and causing WW3.
Never heard of him but yes, I'm suspicious of him because he is so sure of himself.
A test was performed during the cold war and there have been some reports that North Korea may be developing a nuclear mine.
With that information in mind ... Do you find it plausible Russia have place Nuclear sea mines near undersea cables of the Irish coast?
And if the anwser is yes, what plausible relevant evidence did you use to reach that conclusion?.
Any how.
Meanwhile in Russia there is currently a 35km tailback to get into Finland unprecedented so far and likely to get worse
Did they not close the border a few weeks back ?
Good to see the panic in Russia though
Explosions reported in Novoaidar of Luhansk region
. I researched this and found nothing on any country having developed nuclear sea mines let alone deploying these fictional weapons.
So which one are you going with they don't exist or they exist but you didn't know anything about them...
We can do this dance all day or week
I honestly do not see any nuclear weapon been used by anybody any day soon.
Russian threats to me and a load of ol coddle. Putin's reputation is completely zero and its all his own doing. The west have nothing at all to fear from fruit cakes on RT or RTE for that matter.
Rats fleeing the sinking ship, I dont have any compassion for them. If they actually cared they would be protesting in Russia
Give Ukraine 6 nuclear weapons. This is safest singular thing the west could do.
This means that Putin will know with absolute certainty, that if he uses a nuke against Ukraine, Moscow and St Petersburg cease to exist shortly thereafter. He doesn't have to worry about guessing what the west might or might not do and weigh up the pros and cons, he gets absolute certainty that there is nothing but con and he would know this in his gut, and just as importantly, so would everyone else in Russia involved in the chain of command and involved in the actions necessary to deploy nuclear weapons. I turn this key and press this button, and that is effectively the end of my country and those I love.
I firmly believe this is the one way to out manoeuvre Putin and take away his option to use nukes. I am sure he thinks he can use nukes in Ukraine without triggering a nuclear retaliation from another nuclear power, fortunately/unfortunately I think so too, so it's currently a very attractive option for him and a lot of other Russians.
A nuclear armed Ukraine is one you can't use nuclear weapons against. In such a scenario, even if Putin did order their use, it wouldn't be obeyed. He personally might think it's defeat Ukraine or Russia might as well not exist, but I doubt that feeling would be shared, or be very popular.
This is a far better and safer option than trying to respond to a situation where Russia has just used a nuclear weapon on Ukraine, a situation that could well deteriorate rapidly. I'd rather keep the genie in the bottle than observe what it gets up to if let out. MAD has been a 100% effective cork for the past 76 years.
Please try to make a coherent point and in the process maybe you could just anwser the simple question asked
I saw someone on twitter state "Iranian women have bigger balls than Russian civilians".
I kinda agree ....
Give them a few just as a deterent... Place them across the country.......
Maybe the can get their hands on the latest nuclear sea mines as well .... Will do wonders around crimea 🤪
Fake news, old video.
Oh, for goodness sake, talk about scaremongering:
This is Hiroshima:
This is Nagasaki:
The exclusion zone of Chernobyl is teeming with wildlife and has had scientists scratching their heads as to why. Apart from the level of radiation, which has proved nothing like as harmful as predicted, it is one of the healthiest biospheres in Europe. It seems man is a far worse negative for an environment than radiation.
FR 24 shows a TU 214 SR doing circles south of St Petersburg. Maybe this has been a regular occurance but at time it circles right up to the Estonian frontier (within 1km or so). A contrast to the distance which NATO aircraft keep from any possible bother near Ukraine.
Is Vlad trying some sort of provocation?
There are currently a lot of pictures and videos circulating on social media, where it is said that there is a lot of traffic going to the Finnish border from Russia. We are talking about car queues of up to 35 kilometers, which grow hour by hour.
However, the command center of the Southeastern Finland border guard told Iltalehte early in the evening that the situation is normal.
- What kind of border are those pictures from? There has been normal afternoon traffic in Vaalimaa and Nuijamaa. The queues don't even reach the border of the kingdom. And at Imatra, the queue is not even 50 meters long, Iltalehte is told.
- Here the phones are always hot and I don't know where this information comes from, the control center adds.
Breaking Nuclear Non Proliferation agreements when it suits you is probably not the best way to go about things.
Nuclear sea mines? - what is the point in them? Surely conventional mines would work, without the cost?
If I wanted to mine a cable, I wouldn't go to the bother of nuking it. A simple, localised blast would do the job.
Chernobyl is teaming with wildlife because there are no humans there. No mystery. Has biodiversity recovered yet?

What worries me about this escalation, is that there could be a mistake with the nukes. Someone, somewhere, on either side could let one off.
Those agreements are not fit for purpose in the current situation or the present state the world is in. I believe quite a few countries should withdraw their assent to those agreements, such as Australia, Taiwan South Korea, and of course Ukraine. With Russia going rogue nuclear non proliferation is actually a bad idea. China has been taking notes, I am sure.
I think he may well be a Russian agent.
Live webcam from St.Petersburg. There's an hours footage missing between 4pm and 5pm on the clock in the right hand corner. But when the recorded footage at 5 is shown there's two army troop trucks parked up and now police with flashing lights behind.
I would argue that nuclear non-proliferation is never a bad idea.
You can not attempt to have global agreements if you do not intend to follow them when it is inconvenient to you. The fewer countries with nukes the better. Unless you would like to see a massive proliferation of nuclear armed nations as that seems a likely outcome if the US starts openly arming its allies.
250g of a high explosive like C4 or a nuclear weapon, such a tough choice.
