And it's good to show Russians the true nature of what's happening. If you remove western social media then they just get the state narrative.

How many people would an all out nuclear war kill?

Sure I get the silence but there was no need to blame the US media in the first place. Silence in the first place would have been fine for the Kremlin.

He blamed the US media for stoking tensions in the lead up to the invasion. Then silence.

It'd hurt Europe far more than Russia in the short term. Russia would lose revenue but they have buffer reserves so it'd do little to hamper them in the short term. But Europe isn't prepared for it and it'd be a huge sho

Why would only 20-40M die after 1000 nukes?

Then when Putin starts losing and faces a coup from disgruntled people at home? You sure that megalomaniac won't decide to go nuclear when pushed into a corner?

They weren't activated nukes fyi

The problem is, it'll be the crazy one that uses those one or two nukes first. What then?

Russia still has social media. A catastrophic loss of Ukranian civilians in one event won't get buried easily.

He should be worried about catastrophic losses like that, it'd be a propaganda coup against him. Small scale killings can be swept under the rug though.

No it's not, Biden confirmed it now.

US has something to lose. That logic doesn't apply to a caged animal.

Half of Russia supports an invasion. A minority is opposed. Was a poll

It does a lot for global peace right up until our extinction. We don't need thousands of nukes to maintain deterrence. We should reduce our nuclear stockpile to the smallest number that still maintains deterrence.

I agree, but the real plans are probably kept to a very small inner circle who are expected not to go around betting with that knowledge. It's why the stock market has been slow to react, too.

Well, there was a question mark as to whether the invasion will just be limited to Donbas.

by csee 5y ago
No. He was about to get Nord Stream 2 through, which doens't run through Ukraine, and now he got it shut down.

It is relevant. These commentators give soft power to Putin.

What agreements specifically were made by the West that promised Russia that there would be no NATO expansion?

Trump speaks well of Putin, so the right-wing commentators also speak well of Putin. They also feel he was maligned unfairly by the Steele Dossier Russia stuff, so to "own the libs" as revenge they embrace the dictator Putin.

Unbelievable. They talk a big game when it comes to freedom but are supporting a repressive dictator who hates their freedom.

Time to drop the idea that he's acting in sensibly as some kind of master strategist. Nothing good is going to come from this for his country.

Putin also ominously threatened anyone who intervened with destruction. Veiled nuclear threat. He is a fucking crazy person.

Russian troops are in these regions and therefore the conflict would primarily be between Russia and Ukraine if Russia pushes forward.

by csee 5y ago
Half of them support a Ukraine invasion when asked in an anonymous cnn poll. There is a lot of support unfortunately. Don't be naive, they have been brainwashed and many actually buy into it.

Carrying $50 in my wallet which gets seized with an extremely low probability is not how I "lose it all". It's how I "lose $50 maybe but most likely not". How I would lose it all is if we go to a digital currency an

If Russia claims the full oblasts which contain Ukrainian troops, how can they avoid war?

If it bombs their economy and puts pressure on the oligarchs, the chances of overthrow/revolution goes up. On the other hand, if this stirs up nationalistic sentiment, his support will go up. I am not sure how these net off.

But how does this make logical sense. There's a number of European countries that are not in NATO that are now going to be signing up to NATO. All that Russia has gained is to veto Ukraine's NATO membership but it has lost this bi
