All that noise about "Russia is bluffing" about using nukes because it knows it would be the end of Russia if it did.

Turns out the West is mortified of Russia's nuclear arsenal.

Clearly the message here is if you don't want to be invaded by the west, have nukes. Iran, take note.

If Russia didn’t have nukes, every middle of the road country could take on Russia and win. They're are complete inept. Quantity over quality has always been their way.

@ImNotHungry Yes because that’s a scenario where Russia does have nukes to safeguard its flop of an invasion - and therefore not what I just said.

@WintaTheAngle Nukes did not prevent Ukraine from attempting it's failed Kursk incursion mate, Nukes aren't stopping Ukraine from reclaiming that which it has lost. Nukes are not the reason for Ukraines ill-fated 2023 counteroffensive. Nukes are not the reason why Ukraine has had up to 3 - 4 armies decimated. Nukes are not the reason why Ukraine has lost much of its Airforce and air defence capabilities. All of that was down to good old combat skills and the NATO/US trained, armed, funded and assisted combat forces of Ukraine were slowly but brutally eliminated.

I'm sorry but the "Russia so weak" narrative is played out.

@ImNotHungry Nukes are the only reason a host of coutries aren’t joining the war on the Ukrainian side.

Don’t be so naive.

@WintaTheAngle That has nothing to do with what's happening on the frontlines. Nukes are, of course, a deterrent—that’s their entire purpose be they for Russia or the west. I'm not sure how that relates to performance on the frontlines, unless your entire point is to admit that Ukraine is indeed losing and requires "a host of countries" (NATO) on the ground for assistance against a single country.... 🫤🤔, in which case we agree. However how does that translate to

every middle of the road country could take on Russia and win.

.? NATO itself does not believe this , in fact I will quote Jens Stoltenberg again who not long after underestimating Russia claiming it's the second best army in Ukraine, made an about turn and warned the west not underestimate Russian forces. 😂. So, who is really the naive one between you and I?

I guess Russia made him swallow his words. Easy to think you're all that when you've gotten used to fighting dessert dwellers.

Here's more from a NATO member state:

"Britain's armed forces are not ‘ready to fight’ war, says Defence Secretary
John Healey"

Tisk!
