I would not value the advice from an advisor to Merkel, this woman was a complete failure as a leader, knowing what Putin was like and ignoring him completely. She had no excuses... Germany as a nation worked hard to build Russia up, in fact the German companies were working to build advanced military training centers in Russia... thank goodness Merkel did block this effort...
Not sure how confident I am in an advisor to Merkel; considering her policy decisions and how much they linked Germany to Russia; AGAINST the recommendations of the US and many in NATO
It would probably erase Russia - ban its language, relocate the historic Muscovites (centered in St. Petersburg and Moscow) to far Siberia slave camps (underfed and underclothed, as is the Russian rule), and then happily claim the land east of the Urals as their own, parceling it out among themselves, and giving everything east of the Urals to the native populations, all of which would be an improvement to humanity, as I see it, so I would not really protest.
I think an actual detonation in the desert, and allowing an audience to gather maybe television crews to air it would go a long way to show people just how devastating these weapons are, it has been decades since anyone has seen a nuclear weapon detonate. It might go along way to dampen the nuclear rhetoric at least coming from our side.
I am much less worried about Russia using nuclear weapons than I am about the EU and US neocons losing their calm and the denial that is also apparent in this guy's statements only reenforces this evaluation.
Davis has to be wrong. As a matter of fundamental necessity our military needs to be able to respond decisively and IMMEDIATELY in the event of any international escalation. If for no other reason than that communications might be disrupted and the chain of command broken. So don't be telling us that no preparations have been made and our strategic response will be made up on the hoof. I've never heard anything so stupid.
In this clip, they used the term 'the day after'. Forty years ago, there was a movie on ABC by the same name that depicted what life would be like following a nuclear exchange. Needless to say, it terrified an entire nation!
Ah, so this explain's Germany's exceptionally timid response then... Step 1) Assume that everyone in Russia is irrational and without a sense of self-preservation. Step 2) Assume anything could snowball into nuclear war without anyone with a sense of self-preservation stopping and thinking "Do I really want to end the world?" Step 3) Conflate "escalation" with "escalation TO nuclear war" because irrational snowball. Step 4) Avoid EVERYTHING like the plague that might be seen as escalating the situation even slightly because escalation = nuclear war.
@@kjj26k Japan reacted by surrendering. Australia and America then occupied it and forced the Japanese to become peaceful and civilised, then they left when their job was done. End of.
@@seanlander9321because they didn’t have their own nuclear bombs to defend themselves. It’s different in this situation because both sides have thousands of nukes. A nuclear war could destroy the planet. Right now planet destruction is basically the response plan that both sides have if either one launches a nuke.
Look, I hope it never happens, but truth be told, I really don't care. I have only one concern, and that is how can I make sure my cat can survive. I've been pondering this question for 2 years now, and I'm building him a kitty bunker with an escape hatch that will pop open automatically after 6 months. I worked out a kinetic energy feeding system and cat box. It's the only thing I care about.😺
Simple logic says that nuclear exchange will almost happen for sure if two nuclear powers attack each other. On the other hand, I can't imagine US, UK or France exchanging nukes with Russia if a non-nuclear NATO country gets attacked, for obvious reasons... I am curious what is contingency plan of NATO in case this happens. Hopefully we will never find out...
Big difference between the atomic weapons used by the Americans against Japan in August 1945 and the megaton thermonuclear weapons of today. Russia has super-heavy FAB, conventional SRBM and hypersonic weapons to level cities without necessarily resorting to nuclear weapons anyway.
Parts would melt. If the nukes worked. I’ll bet 80% don’t. Still don’t want to risk it tho 🤣. God please give the Russians a break. We all need it. CCP too. Imagine if those two fell (on their own). This year. What would 2025 look like? Better, I would think…
Erm, property protfolio! As a landlord, I would still expect my tenants to fulfill their obligations. Thermonuclear war or not, they will still be evicted if there is no rent money transfer every 2 weeks.
Doubt it, China wouldn't like it. Commerce and trade interpretation would be inconvenient to them, specially when they're trying to recover from the pandemic.
They clearly don't. In every thread they ignore the facts on the ground and keep calling for the next step up the escalation ladder. Most of them keep calling Putin, Putler without understanding they are supporting a Banderite regime. Barely a 90+ IQ among the whole lot of them.
In the past nuclear weapons were a substitute for expensive Conventional Weapons period today it is different Conventional Weapons like drones are more economical than nuclear weapons. This is why Biden has said he could respond with Conventional Weapons🎉🎉🎉
A complete collapse, blackout of Ukrainian territory was arranged for the unwanted pensioner PrezeZelensky and "Kharkovoblenergo" (russia could not do this) disconnecting the electricity for several months in order to close his mouth and freedom of speech. And everything is covered by law enforcement officers and the DBI of Ukraine. Полный коллапс, блекаут на украинской территории устроил неугодному пенсионеру ПрезеЗеленский и "Харьковоблэнерго" (раша этого не смогла сделать), отключив электричество на несколько месяцев с целью закрыть рот и свободу слова. И всё крышуется (покрывается)правоохранителями и ДБР Украины.
I think if one nuke is used it will spiral out of control so fast that before cooler heads can prevail it will snowball into all out nuclear war.I seriously doubt putin has ever seen Wargames,he doesn't know the only way to win the game is not to play.
