Russia vs. Ukraine Part 2

I'll put this here since Putin threatened nuclear war over Ukraine.

NYC releases PSA for residents in the event of a nuclear attack

Rising monkeypox cases, increasing crime — and now nuclear doom?

I wonder how many warheads are targeting NYC and surrounding area?

That had to hurt getting rolled around inside.

If you ever remember your first day driving a zero turn, imagine you trying to drive a tank.

When we were paying to decomm their missiles, many of the reports came back that the birds would never have been flown.
they were so broken, rusted, flooded, etc that they'd never get off the pad.

Of course, I wouldn't rely on that.

A criminals gun may be rusted and not work, but I'm not going to use that as a defense measure.

With about 5% of the visibility.

If we had something other than a Potato in charge, I'd say we should remind them that 1 missile coming at us will result in our full launch.

the policy MAD may have seemed stupid, but it worked.
Because both sides believed the other side would full retaliate.
Now.. I don't think anyone believes our "leadership" has what it takes.. which makes things MORE dangerous, not less.

This nonsense in Ukraine warrants nothing of the like.

A man threatening to nuke you .. does.

I doubt any of those ***holes with the codes will be at risk of being dispatched in such an attack.

I put no faith in them for my well being one way or the other.

They can GTH.

Not enough

Not enough

My point is if there is a nuclear exchange with Russia I'm pretty sure NYC and surrounding area along with DC and LA will be flattened completely. Two of our biggest and busiest cities and the capital.

Would preparing to survive after a nuclear strike in those cities matter? I doubt anyone will be alive with multiple warhead hits.
Best preparation would be to leave them now for Timbuktu.



Just seen this. It's a big deal too.

Russia occupies 22% of Ukraine farmland: NASA

Russian forces now occupy about 22 percent of Ukraine's farmland since the February 24 invasion, impacting one of the major suppliers to global grain and edible oils markets, NASA said Thursday.

I don’t care what the farm reports say I’ve seen more wheat planted this year than any other time in my life. Someone is planning ahead and someone is doctoring the reports.

Anecdotally, this is the case in my area as well. I figure some farmers bet hard on a cereals shortage and it looks like it may pay off.

Why else go to war unless you're a do gooder?

So from a realistic perspective the Russians will grind the Ukrainians down. In the next few months. In the end the Russian will come out better more farmland. Stronger Ruble better consumers for oil.

If you have ever met Russian Military they don’t give a F*($’. But I still don’t think they are targeting schools.

My money is most of the buildings they are hitting are C&C for the Ukrainians. The idea that the Ukrainians will fight a underground war against the Russians is laughable. Just ask the Chechen resistance.

Rather ask the mujahdeen circa 80-89

From a strategic standpoint you are correct, if the Russians aren’t pushed back.

Looks like the Kremlin is ordering up more cannon fodder

The Kremlin likely ordered Russian “federal subjects” (regions) to form volunteer battalions to participate in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, instead of declaring partial or full mobilization in Russia. Russian war correspondent and milblogger Maksim Fo

The Kremlin likely ordered Russian “federal subjects” (regions) to form volunteer battalions to participate in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, instead of declaring partial or full mobilization in Russia. Russian war correspondent and milblogger Maksim Fomin stated that Russia has begun a “volunteer mobilization,” where every region must generate at least one volunteer battalion.[1] The term “volunteer mobilization” likely implies that the Kremlin ordered the 85 “federal subjects” (regions, including occupied Sevastopol and Crimea) to recruit and financially incentivize volunteers to form new battalions, rather than referring to literal mobilization relying on conscription or the compulsory activation of all reservists in Russia.
