Are you concerned about a Russian nuclear attack? Should we be concerned? On one hand it would make no sense for Russia to launch such an attack. On the other hand it didn’t make sense for them to invade Ukraine either.
Apparently we can’t rely on Russia to exercise good judgment.
With that in mind I have to wonder about the state of Russia’s nuclear weapons. As it turns out their conventional forces suffered from corruption and poor maintenance. So how much of the money that was supposed to go to Russia’s nukes went to vodka and hookers instead?
It would seem like a perfect area for scamming money. Everything is supposed to be extremely secret. Nukes haven’t been tested in the real world for something like 20 years. Probably many of those in command expect to never use their weapons. Skimming funds from the program probably looked low risk.
Russia launching may be a remote possibility, but the consequences of a launch are dire. Keep your potassium iodide pills handy.

you think "russia will launch" Joey the wonder corpse is begging them to. sinking their ships. killing their generals. arming Ukraine. what else could he do to make it clear he wants a nuke war?
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I think he's calling their bluff. Putin can't cry "nuke" and get his way.
DeleteThe MIC is loving this. We've been poking the Big Bear since 2014. Do you think the USA would happily go along with Russian missile bases along the Mexican border?
ReplyDeleteThen again, a war breaking out before November might delay the Red Tsunami.
bingo! maybe ivan has no intention of using his nukes? maybe the dems need him to? maybe they pop one off over nebraska and say it was ivan?
DeleteI don't think the dems are that clever.
DeleteIf pushed far enough Putin could certainly resort to at least tactical nukes if not going all in. One would hope the chain of command would decide at that point that he needs to have little "accident". Russia has over 6000 nuclear devices. If only 10% are actually functional it's enough for TEOTWAWKI.
