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.

To use nukes Russia would need minimum 4800 war heads , they have 2500. They are able to service 50-100 war heads per year-dry test. The best scenario with 100 per year will take 25 years , worst 50 years. Fuel last max 30 years. Russia risk to nuke themselves with defect missiles.

@ImNotHungry The numbers shows not active nukes , the treaties limit for Russia to 2500

@Khenpal1 That is not dissimilar to the US. I'm not certain what point you are making

@ImNotHungry The point is Russia would be in disadvantage if they use nukes. At any given time they have only two nuclear submarine out there.

@Khenpal1 If that be the case then the west has nothing to be concerned about, correct?

@ImNotHungry Its all in or not at all as you don't know the replay. Russia is just playing fear cart.

@ImNotHungry Correct - the global consequences if the pathetic neurotic in the kremlin used even a tiny nuke would finish russia.

Immediate and total global isolation - ring-fenced as a zone of condemnation.

Breaking the nuclear seal would mean the end of that rogue nation

@newjaninev2 I'm not certain what you imagine would happen. Should M.A.D be initiated there won't be any country to isolate any other 😂. Wishful thinking comforts you

I cannot present an argument against this position save to say even among the most qualified to speak on the matter, I've never heard anyone articulate this position. According to Dr. Lili Xia of Rutgers University, a nuclear war between Russia and the US alone could lead up to 5 billion deaths. Obviously that number encompasses more than just Russia getting destroyed. So I'm not certain I buy your position at all.

@ImNotHungry MAD doesn't need to be initiated. A measured response with conventional weapons, global isolation and disgust, and watch russian society implode.

Use of even a tiny nuke in Ukraine would spell the end for russia, and they know it.

putin's current grandstanding is born of fear and despair. He's a nobody, and nobody cares what he says or signs.

@newjaninev2 Uh... Have you been paying attention? Russia just lowered it's threshold for deploying nuclear weapons to absolutely no rebuke from even China nor India or any of Russias BRICS partners nevermind the global south. Instead it is Biden that's being lambasted for laying the grounds for a potential nuclear war. You still live under this idea that the west leads the world. Those days are gone.

@ImNotHungry Forward a few kilometres in one place and backward a few kilometres elsewhere is not 'making ground'.
It's just making yet more mass graves for what used to Russia’s future.

I’m strangely OK with that 😀

@ImNotHungry No rebuke from what russia thought were its allies (russia is in for yet another shock there) because nobody believes Putin, or even cares what he says.

He's like an infant throwing a tantrum. Meanwhile, China and India are looking forward to getting back to business as usual.

You must be a Davidov fangirl 😂. The entire Ukrainian front lines are collapsing as we speak.

Sure, and we know this because you sniffed it from your back end? China itself is preparing for a possible showdown with the US especially with Trump coming into office next year Jan 20th. Whether you (the west) like it or not Russia and China are joined at the hip.

They're already in business cheap Russian gas is doing wonders for both countries. Meanwhile in Germany, things aren't looking so good without cheap Russian gas.

@newjaninev2 People should imagine one thing to fill up ballistic missile with rocked fuel take Russia 3 days under perfect conditions or 7 days now. Not enough they don't have enough fuel for their nukes , but engines need to be tested from time to time. Russia is not a Soviet Union , not even a fraction of the past.
