>>And? They can't actually respond militarily because MAD.
Why? Of course they would. And yes we would all die. It's the other way around - a NATO country wouldn't be attacked by Russia because yes, NATO would attack back.
- Lascaille 5y ago>because yes, NATO would attack back That's what it says on paper, yes. That's the theory.
- gambiting 5y agoWell, if that's not the threshold uncrossable line, then there simply isn't one and all of this is completely worthless.
- hutrdvnj 5y agoExactly, then Putin himself could go to Washington kill Biden and everyone is doing nothing because of MAD. That's absurd.
- qwytw 5y agoThat's why we still have conventional weapons. Also if Putin loses it completely (decides to attack a NATO country rather than attempts to personally murder Biden) I'd expect the CIA to organize some kind of a coup with the local oligarchs to get rid of him before launching nukes.
- bluefirebrand 5y agoI suspect this operation is currently in the works. Removing Putin would be massive relief for most of Russia I think, and most of the world at this point. The man is unhinged
- markdown 5y agoYou'd think so, wouldn't you? In fact Republicans are already saying that even sanctions aren't acceptable. Going to war... not a chance! https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1497033251424190466 https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1497033251424190466
