Good comment read today about Poland missile incident:
"If Zelenskyy is telling the truth, then the Nato leaders are a bunch of cowards who do not have the courage to fight Putin directly. If Zelenskyy is telling a lie, then Nato leaders have been lauding the courage and valour of a liar in this wretched war. Zelenskyy is too hot a potato for Nato to handle either way."
End the war before more Ukrainians suffer.
Well said komrad, BTW Dublin is not east of Britain!
Solovyov is one of the main BS artists on Russian TV. Even the other panelists on his TV show are having to try and rein him in with his talk of WW3, Armageddon, nuclear holocaust etc. He's not a serious pundit.....he seems to be just on TV as a sensationalist.
Ground burst weapons would increase the fallout levels downwind of the detonations. Targets like airfields, airports, silos etc would probably be attacked in this way.
No.
The triggering of Article 5 would just mean that NATO agrees to respond as one, not that they are starting to use nukes or that Russia would use nukes in response.
NATO doesn't need to resort to nukes to destroy Russia. Russia might only have nukes left that they can use against NATO, but even they are surely aware of consequences of starting down that road... And how many could they actually unleash before they get wiped out themselves?
But, yes the UK would likely be at the top of any Russian target list. Its not the US so they could claim to not have attacked the US (ignoring article 5),but is a softer target and also not too close to Russia itself such as if they nuked NATO countries on their own borders.
It will be deadly if you get hit - if you dont its more the societal ramifications than radiation or nuclear fallout you have to worry about
If you live in the southern hemisphere you'll be fine, so long as your country isnt a net-importer of food
That's all well and fine whenever we're dealing within theory of what might not happen but whenever your dealing tens + of nuclear weapons detonating across several areas ,I might be more deadly than some will claim
Almost as if he’s admitting Russia and the Poland incident.
Something isn’t right about this whole incident.
The fallout from nuclear weapons is far less than people think. Nuclear weapons are designed to be as efficient as possible by using as much of the fission reaction to create a blast as possible. Radiation is a byproduct, and there isnt nearly as much long lasting stuff as you'd think.
An accident at a nuclear plant would produce vastly more dangerous radiation than a nuclear bomb
If article 5 was triggered by nato yesterday, would Russia by default Nuke London ? ( I simplified it it for you )
On a previous post I wondered if Vladimir Solovyov would put a lid on his threats to Europe after the Polish incident could have sparked dire consequences for Russia, but it seems he's more bitter and hateful than ever.
The last guest I recall speaking out like this came back the next day very humble and very patriotic, I suspect it will be the same with this guy
Nov 17(Reuters) - Investigators in Ukraine's recently liberated southern Kherson region have uncovered 63 bodies with signs of torture after Russian forces left the area, Ukraine's interior minister was quoted as saying early on Thursday.
"Now, 63 bodies have been discovered in Kherson region, but we must understand that the search has only just started so many more dungeons and burial places will be uncovered," Interfax Ukraine news agency quoted Denys Monastyrsky as telling national television.
Monastyrsky said law enforcement bodies had uncovered 436 instances of war crimes during Russia's occupation. Eleven places of detention had been discovered, including four where torture had been practiced.
I hope there will be a day of reckoning. Not one cent of seized Horde foreign reserves and funds should ever be returned to them.
More great sound effects-
Well, the sooner the better as it would be interesting for Ukraine to divulge it's contrary data and more clearly explain it's reasons for doubt.
In a full scale nuclear war, London would not only be hit by one warhead, but perhaps several. Maybe even 5 or 6. As well as every other major city in the UK including Belfast. I think the Soviets also had a plan to nuke Dublin as well so as not to give the UK a safe haven on their eastern border in which to regroup after the fact.
Even still, with the massive amount of nuclear fallout, we would be fucked.
It would seem that the missile came from a Russian source, whether that was launched from russia, Belarus or Ukraine (by russia).
Care to post some proof for the rest of us?
What a naive question. It's not a certainty, but it is a risk. And you would need to spell out a more detailed scenario before getting even an approximate estimate of the risk.
Olga Skabeyeva's normally smiling (and smarmy) current affairs host (and husband) Yevgeny Popov finally loses his sh*t with the fantasists... No doubt he got a few lashes from Margarita Simonyan over this...
If article 5 is ever triggered Is it a certainty that a Nuke is destined for London?
As good a theory as any, though there has been 9 long months for such planning to take place already. Hardly need for another several months to co-ordinate a response. The boots on the ground are going to be the Ukrainian army. Where EU, NATO and allies can help is by controlling the air & digital space and disabling Russian supply lines in Ukrainian territory. The Russian military would then have two options: engage or withdraw.
Russian forces shoot a boat to sink it while retreating across the Dnieper river.
This then attracts the interest of their trigger happy comrades who shoot at them in an exchange of "friendly fire".
Karma is a b1tch.
I believe they are planning to allow Ukrainian observers to get a look at the impact site and anything recovered, the question has to be why is America dictating what and who gets a look at the investigation.
The poles said they have no issues with Ukraine being involved and they didn't think America would object,
The reason Zelenski might be doubling down on it is because they don't believe the missile was theirs and because their experts believe the debris they have seen indicates it was a KH-101 stealth cruise missile, not to mention they can probably account for every S-300 they fired.
The question that should be asked is why Ukrainian experts are not being allowed to look at the evidence directly? There's one standout reason for that.
Correct, likely we will never know though.
It would seem that the missile came from a Russian source, whether that was launched from russia, Belarus or Ukraine (by russia). If so we can say that Poland knows and so will USA. The question is why deny that, what possible reason would they do that. Yes they might not want to get drawn further into this war, but why worry about that. Russia has proven it will do nothing to countries helping Ukraine. My guess is Poland/USA/and some others like UK are now plotting a very large escalation in Ukraine and need to keep it quiet until the act is implemented, why would they publically declare "we know you done it, we're gona get ya"
To me this is the most logical conclusion, an allied push, to drive Russia home. That might have to wait until April when the weather permits, but that's only 4 months of planning, procurement and logistics. No point in showing your hand.
Zelensky could be in on it, playing the role he currently has been, time will tell.
Sing along Children!!
Here's a song I put together explaining how everyone else are the things we really are but I've a cunning plan to accuse those first to confuse ye into thinking we're not the Nazis.
Sing along now..
Novaya Gazeta offers a bleak vision of Russia's post-war future, with a depleted national guard, eroded security services, thousands of demoralized, disenfranchised soldiers, and in the fall out, PMCs like Wagner seizing control of state functions. If I was a Russian elite, be it Kremlin-connected, or heading up a corporation, I'd be watching events very carefully now. The French revolutionaries' favourite method of dispatch was the guillotine, perhaps in Russia, it will be the sledgehammer. It makes for chilling reading...
Coulda used 5 guns at the same time. No?
He could at least have left a note to explain how he manged to shoot himself five times with four different pistols.
