    the West should just surrender to Putin the way it surrendered to the Taliban after realising it was talking BS and nothing it claimed to be fighting for mattered. What the West is standing for is immaterial and irrelevant and the quickest way to end yet another war we didn't need, is to lose it

    Dude, NATO has expanded despite the collapse of the Soviet Union. What is the purpose of NATO in 2023? Let me answer that question… to harass and poke the big Russian Bear while excluding them from the world stage. NATO is just a big schoolyard bully.

    Putin. Really? Your reference to the West is about you, not the West. Resign man. You're not fit to be breathing air, let alone leading a Country.

    If Russia use tactical nukes and west reply conventionally massively Russia will take this as an attempt to overthrow them or destroy them, v high chance Russia will use strategic nukes on nato in Europe and even worldwide, China may well join in and take advantage of the situation leads next not to a European war but world war with n Korea also joining in as well as China in other words the entire world will be at war we all lose big time….

    If Putin were smart he wouldnt waste tactical nukes in Ukraine, since Ukraine isn't even the real threat to him anyway. He would go straight to launch his strategic weapons at the US

    What if Putin goes nuclear? The west ends Russia within 5 minutes. It’s that easy. It’s Russia. Imagine if Putin had the power of america and we were Russia. Grow TF up.

    If convid couldn't even give me the sniffles without me ever wearing a face diaper yet it wiped out all the triple jabbed, trust me, a nuke five metres away would probably barely move my eyebrow hair.

    No nukes!

    wrong – it is the West that's doing the 'saber rattling' – the west continually speaks of nukes, not Russia – plus, remember the one and only nation to have ever used them, murdering 200,000 civilians whilst their leaders were preparing to offer terms of peace – it's clear which is the most dangerous nation of all time: the United States of America

  14. @GusCraft460

    Mutually Assured Destruction is basically everyone blackmailing everyone else with nuclear weapons.

    Putin wont go Nuclear no one ever will. putin wants to annex Ukraine and is threatening th scandinavians, if you nuke them you cant annex them because they ll be radioactive for years.theres nothing to "win" if you nuke and nutters like putin want to "win" things

    Putin is a desperate little man both literally he's totally miniature if you see him in real life and little in him desperately destroying his country in a desperate attempt to be a superpower (news flash nukes and chem/bio weapons is the only thing he has that makes him dangerous) his Army couldn't defeat the Rhode Island National Guard carrying NERF Guns.

    You are not providing any deescalation options but only less extreme escalation options. You are selling apples as oranges, which makes me trust you less.

    This is the equivalent of repeatedly poking the bear and when it finally snaps saying “look at how evil the bear is” like we’ve got a right to point the finger at anyone.

    Nuclear warfare is never an option. 100 nukes is enough to change climate so much that 90% of earth will die within a year. There is about 13 000 active nukes in the world and you can be sure that whoever contros them will launch them all.

    Any nuclear coflict between NATO and Russia / China is equivalent to end of the world, it is not an option.

  21. @SamtheIrishexan

    February 27, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    I am quite hawkish and I doubt Putin will be able to launch a nuke because of his own domestic politics. If NATO joins the war or Russia starts being attacked by Ukraine that will change things.
