You can’t believe any news article anymore. It may or may not be true.

If the point of posting that graphic was just to say Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal, then fine, assuming their arsenal is fully functional.

But the U.S., Russia, and China each have enough nuclear weapons to end civilization by themselves, so the raw total stops adding to the deterrent value in any meaningful sense. After a thousand or so, you’re just stockpiling surplus apocalypse.

At this point, any of those countries can burn the house down. After that it's just flexing over who can set the ashes on fire more times.

How much so many bros here lapped up that nonsense was even more embarrassing.

False. China will support him. They both need each other and china prefers Putin to be in power


I don't think China can afford the combined world to turn on it.

The only thing Russia gives China is cheap petro. We can do that without Russia and Russia won't be giving China anymore petro if it gets buttfricked by the world.

Anybody listening to Carlson after he claimed he was attacked by demons has poor judgement. That guy is either a manipulator or a nut.

How does Putin die?

If he launches on Ukraine only then we cannot deploy nukes on Russia because he will launch at us.

So we have no cards except economic sanctions or all out conventional war over Ukraine. If he starts losing a conventional war then there is always the chance he nukes us.

How can the US provide petroleum products to China cheaper than direct pipelines from Russia to China?

Putin cannot accept any peace short of 100% occupation of Ukraine.

HIS life depends upon it!

I only hope he doesn’t pull Russia completely down with him.

Putin barely has control over the other billionaire oligarchs in Russia.

He’s worried they will one day take him out over this disaster…

People thinking anyone will use nuclear weapons is quite comical. The response to it happening would be the end. The only Country that used them is us because we were the only ones with the Nukes and their wouldn't have been retaliatory strikes back.

Maybe Russians should decide they don't need a leader for life.

I have said from Day one that his goal was probably the Dneiper.

He could have gone all in at the start, but slowplayed things. The Ukrainian defense was far more stout than he anticipated. His piecemeal approach against a motivated (and well armed Ukraine), not surprisingly, didn’t work.

He chose poorly (tactically).

Nonetheless, shite on Vlad.

Remind me, did Ukraine send a delegation to grovel and mourn at Ayatollahs funeral? Wait no; that was Russia, their ally.

Agreed. Putin and his personally chosen oligarchs have stolen an estimated trillion dollars from the government of Russia. Much of this is widely known in Russia.
Putin must have an "enemy", like Ukraine, to keep the focus off him. Once that focus shifts to him, Putin is done.
Not necessarily over Ukraine, but the 20ish years leading up to it.

2. Putin uses nukes on Ukraine
3. Putin can’t use the land he nuked




Why would Putin Nuke Ukraine?


European powers are supplying the weapons that are hitting Russia. I suspect he would attack the EU countries who are building the rockets and drones.
