Meanwhile in Ukraine

[Smitty-48]

this is why there could be widespread panic

at the threshold of Nuclear Deescalation

people in Hawaii just got a tweet saying that a DPRK ICBM was inbound

and they started climbing down into the sewers with their children

people in 1962 were used to nuclear weapons being donated in the atmosphere, they built up to that over years

nobody has seen it since the Test Ban Treaty

so if Crazy Ivan suddenly brings just live atmospheric testing back, to send warning

that alone could cause the shelves at Walmart to get cleaned out

What could come next?

you're not going to believe me if I tell you

you have kids

so psychologically, you will reject it

Lay it on us Smitty.

Are you thinking this becomes a quagmire?

It seems to have lots of quagmire potential...

Did Putin think this was going to be a quick win?


Seems totally insane.

The Russian population already seems depressed...
Could be the end of Putin if this becomes a nightmare quagmire... I would guess.

He knows that the West is weak and now is the time to strike.

We know he is an ego maniac but what if the 69 year old Putin has a terminal illness? He wants to be remembered as Russia’s greatest leader and if he has a short window he could be insanely dangerous.

I'm not saying that there is going to be a thermonuclear war

I'm not predicting one

maybe there is a climb down from here that I am not seeing

none the less, I am seeing the conditions where a thermonuclear war could occur

and not just one path, a whole slew of them

because the Pax Americana itself is under attack

and with Biden in charge, things are not going well so far

He knows that the West is weak and now is the time to strike.

It doesn't seem as weak as he is calculating it is.
Seems there is a pretty broad consensus to resist him.
Ukraine, all by itself, seems determined to make this as painful as possible.

Looks like a crazy miscalculation actually.

And sure, if he starts detonating nuclear weapons... that will get panic stirring...

But that might just as easily gel the opposition into a cohesive unit.

He might actually revitalize Pax Americana, rather than catalyzing its downfall.

Putin using Thermobaric weapons would be an escalation that might break the camels back and get the West involved, then all bets off.

[DrYouth]

Hard to see how that's going to work in the urban setting.

Is he planning on wiping Kyiv off the map?

Rule over a pile of smouldering rubble.

those are s.o.p. for the Russians

the primary roll of the TOS-1A is actually mine clearing

they use it like a rapid fire MICLIC

These idiots rule us

[Smitty-48]

These idiots rule us

yeah,

these Chickenhawks are becoming an existential danger at the threshold of total war in Ukraine
