War in Ukraine

[DonjoVol]

You can't be serious. You don't believe this.

They believe what their news media tells them. It's almost like a religion at this point.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

If anyone was overrated, it was Monty. Monty was methodical but he was hesitant and over confident in his own abilities

How can you be both hesitant and over confident?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Sinking ship you say…

Without a reliable energy source to replace Russia and with their demographic issues, what else would you call them?

Meaning he was slow to respond but over confident in his responses, Donjo and Volgr are rubbing off on you

No, I was just fighting the urge to make a joke about a certain ship sinking recently due to weather, a smoking sailor, or a combination of both. Or maybe Ukraine just blew the fu** out of it

This author Could Putin or Biden launch nuclear missiles by themselves? claims Russia has barriers to any one man launching.
In Russia, There are three key persons as nuclear response code-holders:

President, Minister of Defence, and the Chief of the Staff, transmitting an Emergency Action Message (EAM) to the nuclear triad units to execute specific Major Attack Options or Limited Attack Options .

It is used the automated control system of nuclear forces Kazbek (автоматизированная система управления ядерными силами страны "Казбек"), which key node is in 3 nuclear briefcases, Cheget (Абонентский комплекс "Чегет" автоматизированной системы управления стратегическими ядерными силами "Казбек").

“Dead hand”, or "Perimeter", is as an alternative system for all units armed with nuclear weapons. It is a backup communication system, in case the key components of the "Kazbek" command system and the link to the Strategic Missile Forces are destroyed by a first-strike in accordance with the concept developed in the US called "Limited nuclear war".

In order to ensure its functionality the system was originally designed as fully automatic, and with the ability to decide on the adequate retaliatory strike on its own with no (or minimal) human involvement in the event of an all-out attack.

According to a developer of the system, it is a buffer against hasty decisions based on unverified information by the country's leadership.

Upon receiving warnings about a nuclear attack, the leader could activate the system, and then wait for further developments, assured by the fact that even the destruction of all key personnel with the authority to command the response to the attack could still not prevent a retaliatory strike, resulting in Mutual assured destruction or mutually assured destruction (MAD).

Thus, this eliminates the possibility of a false-alarm-triggered retaliation.

A similar system existed in the U.S. known as the AN/DRC-8 Emergency Rocket Communications System (ERCS).

Who needs such a fancy schmancy launch safety system when you have supergeneral Mark Milley? He stopped WWIII by himself.

True to an extent. Would the same not apply to the other players?

Not sure what you mean? If by other players you mean UK and US, I don't know why they care or give a damn about what goes on in eastern Europe and Central Asia. Both are outside of their realms of influence.

Repeating what you hear from the news media is not intelligence. That's called brainwashing. Sorry to inform you of that.

They must be sneaking into my room at night and subconsciously influencing me in my sleep. Repeating what you hear from trolls on Twitter is not a very good strategy

OK, so they sunk a ship.

Now answer the question. How will Europe replace Russian energy and maintain their standard of living and economic productivity?

All the NG Europe needs for the foreseeable future is available in the Sea of Azov right off the coast of Ukraine.

Invade Russia, kill that bastard Putin, and take their gas?

They are switching to green energy

Y’all didn’t want that ship anyway though amirite?

If Russia was actually serious about winning, Kyiv would have been reduced to rubble in the first week and before that Ukraine’s infrastructure. Putin is “leading from behind.”

Or they were trying to minimize civilian casualties as best they could.

Even you are admitting that Russia isn't serious about trying to level cities to the ground like the US would normally do.

They should just bring their nukes back online.

You keep making things up as usual and defend Russia for inexplicable reason

It’s all he’s got

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Ukraine and The West are certainly running away with the propaganda war. There is no way Russia will be able to overcome this.

 

[landscapingvol]

He can’t help himself

Germans urged to cut back on hot showers to save gas

Ahh, for a minute there I thought that was going to be "those showers" and "that gas".

AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

They’ve leveled Mariupol pretty good.

He has no other play.

Blaming NATO again, you really are their slow witted son. I don’t watch the news and don’t use social media. I just enjoy seeing a doucher like Putin get what’s coming to him unless you actually believe a former KGB member can become a billionaire in a relatively poor nation along with all of his butt buddies through legitimate means. Throw an illegitimate invasion of a neighboring country on top of that and it’s quite entertaining watching him eat a giant s**t sandwich. But, you do you and defend his stupidity I enjoy it as well.

You question Putin's motives but don't say jack s^^t about our POTUS that has known financial ties to that country helping to add fuel to the fire.
