Quote HistoryQuoted: When people state they have lost everything they have gained since April, they are referring to total area, not specific locations. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: First off, that is complete bullshit: They are still firmly in control of Mariupol, which they captured in mid-May. So no, they haven't lost "everything they gained since April". Maybe in the Kharkov area, but nowhere else. Plus, if Russia decides to get "froggy with nukes" what makes you so certain Europe will decide to get involved at that point? Especially since Ukraine isn't a NATO country and no one is actually treaty-bound to help them. If Ukraine starts invading Russia proper, and Russia responds by frying a few logistics hubs or a division, NATO won't do anything more than issue a sternly-worded letter. Because as you correctly point out, no one in Europe is eager for nukes in their own cities. When people state they have lost everything they have gained since April, they are referring to total area, not specific locations. It's 90% true even when talking about specific locations; you just need an asterisk for Azovstal and parts of Luhansk.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Having and using aren't the same threat level. Once they start lobbing them, that's the Rubicon crossed, and they can't cross back. Everybody who's been putting up with their shit now has to deal with the hard proof that, should Russia decide to go after them, nukes will be used. Those thousand nukes are no longer a passive deterrent, they're an active threat. What do we do about it? Everything is an escalation that causes more nuking. We might need to be careful what we wish for as far as Russia's demise. Unless it's an inside job by senior military leadership it's likely to be ugly. |

They defeated Germany in the 1940s because they were bankrolled by fellow socialists and it went to their head that Russia stronk. In many cases they won battles because the Germans literally killed so many Soviets they ran out of ammo and got overrun. When your best tactic is "they run out of ammo before we ran out of conscripts" and then you go from 195 million people to 147 million with an older average age those tactics no longer match your order of battle realities. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: the question is, several parts to this.. russia has nukes. i assume they have tactical nukes. say they use them on kiev to decapitate ukraine (or someplace else). what does the world do? An excellent question. Some say Art 5 gets invoked, NATO gets involved. Me? I'm not sure. Certainly the genie gets let out of the bottle at that point. Maybe it results in the Chinese using them for local military purposes; maybe it results in a decapitation strike against whichever bunker Putin is sitting in? Who can say? do the chinese and others continue to support roosha? or when pootin decides to use nukes, thats the last straw and his 'generals' wrap him up in a straight jacket and put him in a padded room and sue for peace? If the last were a possibility, it would already have happened, IMHO. This looks to be disastrous for the oligarch class that supported Putin's rise. If Putin could have "tragically died from his long-standing terminal illness", it would have happened by now. What Putin's Golden Bridge will take the form of, is another interesting question. |

Nobody knows. But using nukes is essentially the gunman killing his hostage. After that, all means of deterrence is theoretically gone after that. So at that point you have to think Russia has gone from being rational.... to a guy trying to suicide by having the whole world go up against them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, without Western support... Russia would have been New Germany. To put that into context most of the Wehrmacht was horse drawn and Germany wasn't on an economic war footing until they accepted reality late in the war. Before that Russia lost a war to Japan. Then post WW2 they lost the Sino-Soviet "conflict" to China. Technically speaking they "won" a war with Finnland by taking territory but in reality lost an appalling number of troops winning enough ground to bury them on. |

If they had been smart they would have launched a major offensive just as the Biden administration was taking office. |

But we got "thrown" out in the sense that we could not fully defeat the North Vietnamese with our tactics and strategy so we declared "Peace with Honor" to assuage our egos and left. Then after abandoning them to their fates the South Vietnamese government, upon which we had lavished billions of dollars in weapons, training, and economic aid, got "thrown" out. Continuing to pretend some 50 years later that somehow the Viet Nam War was not a humiliating defeat of US power is a really bad look. |
