They won't use nukes if they're leaderless.
Dead Man's Hand, its a real possibility.

If you invade russia and don't have nukes you are getting nuked. this is stupid.
It's an interesting take, several posters keep saying that its unthinkable that Russia will launch nukes, but then an argument against counter aggression by aggrieved nations or states is that it would be met with immediate nuclear deterrence. The truth is no one knows. Militarily, the Russians have proven themselves a paper tiger against western weaponry, but their saving grace is their nuclear deterrence. I suspect that they will show willingness sometime in the next week or so to deploy these weapons, but in a way such as not to trigger an article 5. In a sense, to deter acts of aggression by aggrieved parties, but also out of vengeance for their military failure in Ukraine. I think we are without a doubt the closest we've been to a nuclear exchange since the Cuban missile crisis, and in fact we may well be closer. I believe it will be a tactical deployment, but I do believe it will happen.
Basically, you can't have it both ways. If you think it's impossible that the Russians will actually launch offensive nukes, you can't argue the point that they will use them for defense. It's either they have the will to use them or they don't. I highly suspect that Putin has the will to use them in either case.
I've been wrong before, hopefully I will have the opportunity to be wrong again.

It was blaming the West for expanding NATO too close to RU and not blaming Ukraine.
I disagree with his argument, but that was it.

I saw a political cartoon to this effect earlier in this whole conflict, but it was essentially Putin to Ukraine "Marry me or I will kill you." Seems to ring home.

I guess the real question is, will the Russian leaders follow through with the order, or not. Human kind hopes for the latter
I think his plan now is level Kyiv in an attempt to decapitate leadership, and he will do so with a nuclear weapon under a false flag of chemical weapons from the Ukrainians, think Kharkiv as an area to do this, it's leveled anyway. So he would realize a chemical attack in Kharkiv then justify a nuclear strike at Kyiv. Ugly shit, and lots of people will die, but he doesn't care about any of that at all. He's deluded himself into thinking that this will break the will of at least eastern Ukraine, from the Dnieper River east.
Will his nuclear command follow his orders? I'm not holding out hope.

Not to shit on a veteran but I highly doubt a guy called back from Ready Reserve is privy to that kind of intel.
However, fuck Putin.
I'm sure not, and even if he is talking here would be a no no, or anywhere for that matter. But us calling up reservists isn't a great sign either.

So the elite echelon was moved by air to Novosibirsk? I'd say that's not a good sign, as two of the giant mountain bases are supposed to be at Kovinsky Kamen and Mount Yamantau. In 2020, interesting info came out from Putin himself regarding this and his nuclear command.
Neither of these are very far from Novosibirsk. I think this is a big signal, he intends to fire a nuclear weapon of some sort in the next day or so. If our resident Navy guy says he's back in and its going to get interesting in the next few days, I suspect that if he does indeed launch, we will in fact retaliate and will sink his nuclear submarines as a first measure. This is a very scary time.

The ultimate problem with war, and just how fucking stupid it is; is that we never really can calculate the loss of talent. Some of us are somewhat smart, some of us are somewhat gifted in other ways. We don't get many Einsteins, Hawkings, Mozarts, etc. Who know's if one is being lost in this nonsense? Fucking pointless, so angering, and such a tragedy.
And as for the video and her skills, amazing, even a bit haunting.

seems to be a lot of random ships being targeted.
PANAMA CITY (Reuters) -Three Panamanian-flagged ships have been hit by Russian missiles in the Black Sea since Russia's invasion of Ukraine last month, Panama's Maritime Authority said on Wednesday.
One ship sank, the maritime authority said in a statement, but there were no casualties reported. The two others remain afloat with damages.
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-03-16/panama-says-three-ships-hit-in-black-sea-since-start-of-ukraine-warLulz - they can't sink merchant ships, fucking idiots.

I hope those fucksticks die in the Black Sea, if for no other reason than revenge for firing on children. May the only live to see the bottom of the sea floor.

NSIAP, but Gretta Vedler, the Russian model who went on a rant about Putin, who went missing about a year ago, found dead. Stuffed into a suitcase.
I'm sure it just a magician mishap with a contortionist.

Is there anything stopping us from delivering them to the front lines to get a nice paint job and Ukrainian flag, then flying them ourselves from some base in Kansas or Colorado? It’s not like they are physically tethered.
That's another thing, prove it. This is clandestine enough to work.

Exactly. Can you imagine a group of Predators armed with Hellfire missiles entering the space.
This, Ukraine won't be the ones asking to have the airspace closed, the Russians will be begging for it to happen. Hell, if those are in fact deployed, the Uke's will have air control in short order.

Doubt we'd let our latest drone tech enter the fray as the risk it falls into Russian/Chinese hands is greater. Probably older, but still effective options available.
Wouldn't have to be new shit to be a game changer, our 10 year stuff is remarkable.

The extremely vague addition of drones make me giddy. Could we be sending some of our best flying stealth death robots to Ukraine? The Migs might not be needed at all if that is the case. Maybe the Migs were a red herring to get these into the field of battle.

So a strongly worded letter? Nice.
I think the most incredible takeaway so far is that the Donbas area has been turned against Russia. That takes serious talent, to destroy an allied region and turn it into an enemy.
Well, that long twitter thread posted last page goes into significant detail about why. Russian control=thug rule. Those people have been terrorized by thugs for going on 8 years and now is their chance to be free of it and they are jumping at the chance.
Putin=government by goons, and that's what he exports.

I would love this 100%! An uprising! The problem is: power has been systematically taken from the people over time. Nazis perfected this. People become the proverbial frog in the boiling water. You take a few things away. And promise other things. Blame everyone else for why the people don’t have these things you promised. It works and we see it at work not just in Russia.
I've been thinking on this, if there is a mass uprising within Russia, it wouldn't shock me if tactically nuked one of his smaller own cities as a false flag. Do you really put it past the guy? I don't.

That's not how it is designed to work.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37569/putin-reveals-existence-of-new-nuclear-command-bunker-and-says-its-almost-complete
It's designed to work presuming that it can no longer reach missile command. Meaning that if all of a sudden if the system can't verify their version of the nuclear football, it will respond. Stupid engineering as it is, we can't discount this as a possibility. I imagine our intelligence community has an idea as to the veracity of this system, which I would trust far more than our speculation, but to dismiss this outright would be a bit nutty.
