Are we pushing Russia towards using tactical nukes? (Afghanistan, weapon, regime)

Not a good situation that's for certain.

They have been able to do that for over 60 years. FUD from the media talking heads.

Did you think that screaming about Russia allegedly fixing our election for five years would be ignored by the leadership of that country?

There was one - ONE - time when the legacy media was universally gushing over Trump. Saying how "presidential" he looked. It's when he launched missiles into Syria - a proxy war with Russia.

We've been indirectly at war with Russia since I was a kid and it was the Soviet Union. All that crap in the '80s that Reagan got in trouble for? Proxy wars with the Soviets.

The Establishment wants war with Russia so bad, they can taste it. They've been drooling over it for a long time. Now they have their chance. They're absolutely going to take it. Whether or not anyone uses nukes, I don't know. But yeah, we were already at war with Russia indirectly, now semi-directly in Ukraine. It won't be long before we're in direct conflict. Months, maybe. Probably before the midterms. People rally around the existing power structure in times of war, and there's no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the Democrats would wage war with Russia to retain their power in the House here.

Do you mean the establishment wants nuclear war with Russia? Any nuclear war is going to escalate to a full-out US/Russia/Europe total destruction, nuclear winter, end of mankind war.

Russia had stated for years that if Ukraine moved towards NATO it would be a red line resulting in war. Seems they weren't bluffing.

I am not sure why he would use nukes. Nukes would damage his country.

He would probably use another weapon that would not damage the planet... like an EMP.

#1 Russia is claiming a tactical nuclear strike is on the table. This is small enough to not damage his country outside of retaliation.

#2 If Russia delivered an EMP, wouldn't it most likely come from a nuke?

(there, fixed it)

SO, what do you do if a madman is in charge?
Who sees his own imminent demise, if he doesn't "do something?"

the final field commanders can also refuse insane orders as well

Bingo. A high-altitude air burst detonation would do it. This would provoke an immediate retaliatory strike from the US/NATO.

Russia has zero justification for using nukes in this conflict. Zero.

If Putin decides to use nuclear weapons, it will be Joe Biden’s fault.

Somehow.

Comes with the job. We had 2 years or so of Trump starting nuclear wars even prior to taking office. So yeah, every new president has the fringe whackjob 10% making wild claims about them throughout their presidency.

Any further comment, please search the forum history.

You'll find a fraction of them as many were just deleted just like this one might.
