Blue, you talk a concerning amount of rubbish. I really hope you are just trolling and these arent your real opinions because if they are there is literally no hope for you
No 10 Percent here mate…
poke the hive, see what happens................
Of course it’s fallen half the UKR are out training in other countries at the moment and the Russian army can just about muster some snail like progress . Wait till they deploy back into the frontline it’s gonna get mighty tasty for VP LOLZZZ
Good thing both sweden and Finland have stated they will not have trainers in their cupboards. Carrying on the typos lol
Let’s face it, no one wants decent trainers on their border right?
LOL
Obvs a typo
Bold statement. When put in a corner the best defence is to attack.
I dont think they’d push the button under normal circumstances BUT I do believe they’re crazy enough to if it comes to it.
From what I’ve read they’ve been very close before and it was only the generals who disagreed with the instructions that stopped it happening. I’ll have to look that up again……….
Ultimately it comes down to them not wanting Nikes / weaponry sat right on their border.
Wasn’t there another world super power that said the same and got their own way? Although there was a “crisis” over it too…….
John i dont think for a second that russia truely think they could win any all out conflict. They know as well as everyone no one would win..
Lets me explain something to the pro Russian trolls on this forum.
Russia a joke. They are an embarrassment to militaries around the world. They are a global laughing stock. This is the reason for their nuclear arsenal. Without that they would not even be taken seriously. They would be booted off the UN Security Council and likely destroyed years ago.
They will never use a nuke because the country which will be first destroyed will be Russia. They know it, we know it and no matter what they say they are crap scared of NATO. Because if someone calls their bluff they are in trouble.
Havoc3852...you're bang on. I think Russia believes it can fight a nuclear war and win, given the land it occupies and it's hypersonic misslies. This thing about lower yield of Russian nuclear missiles resulting from degraded plutonium is pure speculation.
F^^cking hell BB, you have some time on your hands. You retired? Sitting there in your study, reciting the whole Britannica encyclopaedia collection on here...Don't you get fed up posting on here? Or you in a care home, nowt else to do?
nato noted the threat. nato has analysed and been quiet in response. Anybody else noted Putin has since not continued with the rhetoric? I happen to have a lot of knowledge in this area. He will have been briefed, now, on the decrepit state of the Russian nukes (we've seen the appalling state of the conventional force) and be aware he has little to play with or threaten. He has to rely on talk shows on TV trying to big up non existent threats. Why were the nuclear power stations prime targets? Russia needs plutonium to replace depleted war hads and try and cobble together a new one for their old school ramjet that they are trying to pass of as new advanced technology.
Putin will have the full brief of the movement of US and UK subs positioning and going on long watch ready for the retaliatory strike. He will have been made aware of the state of maintenance and upgrade of the US and UK missiles and warheads. He has gone very quiet on the subject with good reason.
He might get a few western targets and do damage somewhat less than the shelling in Syria or Ukraine as a point, but there wouldn't be much left of the military and command and control structure on Russian turf. In that scenario, nato walks in unopposed.
And out roll the nukes, "you can't go to war with us, we are immune".
OH NO YOU ARE NOT!
This incredibly naive belief you have some sort of trump card that prevents being fully held to account just underlines the level of utter pigheaded arrogance that is modern Russia.
Ukraine gave up its nukes and Russian guarantees turned out to be completely worthless.
You really think waving your nukes around is going to result in you being left to continue with our terrorism? No! It proves you should have them removed and that will have to be done with a full invasion. Your glorious leader may sacrifice most of the Russian population in the process but you follow hima and accept him, your consequences. We don't so will fight back and remove the Russian problem from earth.
The nukes don't scare anybody anymore, get over yourselves.
Well what about before starting world war 3, just give the right equipment quickly to Ukraine and let them do what they need to do. 1000 artillery pieces and 250 HIMARS and some long range anti ship missiles.
Would be over in a month….
You are a complete and utter nutcase Blue, all out war with Russia would be apocalyptic for the planet. Your previous comments around "west being able to absorb a few nukes" is frankly disturbing and down right dangerous only based upon mere hypothesis at the state of russia's nuclear arsenal.
Big Blue ... History prooves no one invades Russia ! Napoleon, Hitler ...Only Ghengis managed it because when retreating and throwing millions of cannon fodder armed with lee Enfield riffles and pitcforks, whilsts waiting for winter to do the job there is no nation better at it !!!! Far more likey is that western consumers blame will gravitate to China with or without state backing and Cancel culture might, just might do something useful for a change. China needes 10% growth per annum just to stand still !!! Ya think they will achieve that in a global recession ??
The tolerated Druinken nieghbour which is Russia is put up with by China, but this time he has driven over the cat p111ssed in the roses and drawn the eagle eye of the neighbouhood watch !! Wont be cosy for long methinks ......

"big-blue...Russia should be run by NATO or UN administration ? are you for real?"
Yes, after the invasion and Russia's unconditional surrender to nato forces, Russia should be put under either nato or UN administration as the country is broken up and Russia per se ceases to exist. Whether a western territory will be allowed to use the name, or the people previously aligned to that name would actually want to use it, remains to be seen. But as Prussia is no more, due to the persistent aggressive nature of Russia, Russia will be no more, same as with the nazi regimes Putin emulates so well. China will not help yo, it will be looking at huge ethnic like territories in the east to acquire.
Kate, don’t forget Wagner are in CAR. Who’s paying for that?
SH murdered hundreds of thousands with chemical weapons. He then threatened to use and give them for use against western interests. It is believed he originally tried to bury the weapons, but then dug them up and moved them to Syria. The stockpile originally now about that he taunted the west with; there is no evidence it was destroyed either with Blix or all the post war forensic analysis. It is believed they are buried in Syria and highly unstable rendering them to dangerous to handle, let alone use.
SH wanted to continue playing the wmd card which was to big to be ignored. So he and his army was obliterated. Exactly the fate that awaits Russia. Take your last pictures of your iconic buildings around Red Square, they will be ruble this time next year.
Oh by the way, this is going to happen. nato is tooling up for all out war and the border will not be a limiting factor. Russia has become a problem and many actors, including China and BRICS would now rather it was removed. You misread the lip service being played. Just look at the extent of immediate withdrawal and ostracisation of everything Russian all over the world including in countries supposedly allied with Russia. You kid yourselves most of the world backs Russia because some governments are yet properly implement suggested sanctions. Te actions of the businesses and people inside those countries speaks louder. Certainly some are on a smash and grab what is dirt cheap at the moment before the supply gets cut as Russia sells everything way below cost price to try and maintain a facade of normality. One that pile of sh.it is finished, the flies will be gone.
Lolzz reading this BB this morning is very entertaining, and herein is why we have disputes and wars across the world LOLZZZ
One things for sure , this stock is fooked for the mid to long term, dropped 25% in a month, go figure with what guys are posting here
big-blue...Russia should be run by NATO or UN administration ? are you for real?
" big-blues hypothesis russia deserve to be wiped from the face of this earth for killing far less civilians"
Where did I suggest that? That is a total fabrication to misdirect. I said sovereign nations are not obliged to cede territory at Russia's behest. The land grab attitude which is constant and non-stop and accelerating over the years with Putin are the qualification. We had all this trouble through the cold war, and now it continues with modern day Russia. It has to be ended.
I suppose they found the 'WMD' to justify their illegal invasion and that's why Blair and Bush didn't go to prison and no sanctions were imposed on their respective countries.... delusional!
so which side of the sectarian battles in Iraq did the USA fund?
One presumes you refer to the second Gulf war when west forces skipped the final UN hurdle as the French aid i would veto to protect its oi interests in Iraq.
The war was to find and destroy the chemical weapon store that had been used in multiple incidents during the Iran Iraq war, on Kurds and on his own people. SH started threatening their use on the west toying with the likes of Alkayida. He then played a game of chicken with the west. And continued to make bigger threats of use and aligned with more terrorist groups.
The collateral lives lost never amounted above a few hundred and most were due to civilians being moved into military locations as human shields.
As far as crying for justice, the only ones doing that are the relatives of the victims of the horrific chemical attacks. No other country in the region interfered with the US led action because Iraq had become a significantly destabilizing force in the region, and regime change was a desirable option by all actors. Russia is the new Iraq sabre rattling with nuclear weapons and ultimately will have to be dealt with in the exact same manner - except Russia as a nation should be erased when the country is under nato or UN administration. Putin's folly, instead of building an empire he lost all of Russia.
