Looks like he's playing for broke. He's going to do it. Never in a million years did I think this was going to happen. Let's hope for the best. I'm surprised China and India haven't been more vocal about their views. I'm sure they don't want an escalation. No one wins in this situation. Cheap fuel isn't going to make up for the mess that's coming up for everyone. Geopolitics just sucks. Why don't we ever learn?

Thanks, Putin. dude must have the tiniest genitalia ever, to consider actually doing this. let's hope there is another cool head at the console with the button on it when the order comes down.

A low-yield display like this will test several things: - Wind at altitude curls toward Moscow. Its possible Russian land and water will be more exposed than European. Note that rivers in eastern Ukraine flow into Russia. We’ll see a lasting levels of contamination in things like Russian grain and fertilizers containing sulfur. - Russia will spin the fallout as if it amounts to the same concern as chemical weapons 100 years ago. They’ll claim remediations are so routine that NATO and Ukraine inadequately prepared their populations. - If the wind is westbound, Romania will be the worst-affected NATO member because potassium iodide is not proactively distributed. NATO will debate if it considers this an attack. - Another risk is the water supply to Crimea. An open channel running from central Ukraine supplies nearly all their fresh water.

> Putin orders nuclear military train to Ukraine Now that is environmental friendly. Other nations struggle to convert Diesel trains to electric but Russia already is a step further: nuclear train.

This is a complete fabrication. More people need to flag posts like this. It originated with some nobody from Poland on Twitter and the media took it and did what they love to do…keep you all panicked so you need them. https://www.rferl.org/amp/russia-us-nuclear-test-ukraine/32066002.html https://www.rferl.org/amp/russia-us-nuclear-test-ukraine/320...

  Who’s panicking? The list of people who don’t believe Putin is bluffing includes Zelenskyy and Medvedev. Others are unsure how to calculate the probability of intentional use. Propaganda fits into these circumstances well, but has any intent changed? There are two possibilities not discussed in top-search-result media: accidental use, and intentional use without Putin in control.

    My post has nothing to do with whether Putin is bluffing. It has to do with whether he has currently deployed a train carrying nuclear weapons to Ukraine, which he clearly has not.
