I cant believe that nuclear talk is even on the table. I think he has lost his mind.

The United States has the nuclear capability to wipe out Russia too. So, it would be mutual annihilation.

Which is why it is unlikely to happen.

Bingo!

There is a great old movie from 1959 called "On the Beach" that might give you an idea of what it will be like if the nukes start flying.

If Putin has lost his mind, then he is on par with Biden.

We then have two insane idiots on the precipice of a nuclear conflict.

Feeling good now about installing such a demented old fool as Biden and knowing that he could literally get us all killed? Is that really worth stealing an election over and getting CRT, open borders, and tranny rights through????

WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's hope there are enough sane people left in the US to understand why we can NEVER HAVE SUCH AN IDIOT AS BIDEN IN OFFICE AGAIN. Not only is the well being of every citizen of the US at stake, the very existence of mankind is at stake with such an imbecile "in charge".

SCARED ENOUGH YET DEMS TO BE SHOCKED BACK TO SANITY?

No we have one insane idiot that is a danger to the world right now. Mutually Assured Destruction is still intact...and Putin is not acting clear eyed.

Don't they teach this stuff in school anymore? Or has everybody been so buried in social media and their favorite Hollywood stars and all the modern conveniences that they turn a blind eye and have know idea that there are mad men out there in other country's that want to do away with us, even if it means they will lose as well.

Wake up people, while we are being dumbed down, woke, arguing over what bathroom to use, what gender we are and how everything is racist these other country's are teaching young kids how to use firearms, and prepare for war.

WAKE THE **** UP!!! Welcome to the real world where unicorns don't frolic happily at the base of the rainbows. It's more like Bambi getting stomped on by Godzilla! (Look it up)

well, one warhead can wipe out most city center instantly. the area depends on the yield of the warhead. in a city like LA/NYC, it probably kill about 500,000+ ppl instantly, but smaller city not much due to ppl are far spread. however its the AFTERMATH that kill most the people, radiation will spread over MOST america killing alot ppl within week/months(dying from radiation sickness is no joke, its one of the most painful way to go). No power, No telecommunications, No food, No clean water, basically its stone age. people gonna fight and kill for leftover resource. the aftermath DUST will cloud the sunlight, without sunlight most plant life die within weeks/month.
both russia/US have thousands of these warhead

Or you could look at some of the real photos from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those nukes were crude in comparison to what is available today.

This whole thing is a God damn nightmare.

I'm worried past Ukraine. If this fool attacks a NATO member we're bound to get more involved with the whole article 5 stuff.
