War in Ukraine

Russian spy subs have been caught cutting internet connects. They can not succeed, but will try. These are NOT Russian people.

Who are they, Laplanders?

I think he works nights, but I could be wrong.

Nah, just a lot of windshield time.

Well, now that depends on the wind patterns.

And China can afford to lose a couple hundred million and still be stronger than everyone else.

No survivors long term in a full out nuclear exchange between Russia and the US.
Every continent would be contaminated and life will cease to exist everywhere if not in a few months then less than 5 years. The system would collapse for the survivors including food and water.

Because Europe is expendable?

No offense to the Europeans, but if Putin executed a tactical strike of say 50 Kt on a military target not in a populated area, would we up the ante by striking more than one target of our own knowing the explosions would grow to the east and west?

Nuclear brinkmanship is not an easy political play regardless of who's in the White House or the Kremlin. Where does it stop once it starts?

Some of these people have a video game mentality when it comes to nukes. You can't just hit pause or turn the game off. Billions of lives are at stake.

Would the Southern Hemisphere be livable?

The Oak Ridge Plants have traditionally produced tons of nuclear warheads. I think "Fat Man" that destroyed Nagasaki was made there.

Amarillo Texas would be another target that most people wouldn't realize.

Tuscaloosa also.

Why would they nuke TN?

Electric power generation might be one. Can't see ORNL or Arnold AFB (or station or whatever the AF has made it now) as immediate threats. Not even sure that Redstone Arsenal poses any immediate threat.

If Joe removes Russian sanctions to get an awful Iranian deal....
And Psaki says we only buy 10% of imported oil from Russia, and suggests we replace it with Iranian oil.

Would the Southern Hemisphere be livable?

I don’t think it would long term. Saw a similar video about the nuclear winters which would occur for a few years after a full scale attack.

I take it most people in here haven't seen the famous interview with Yuri Bezmenov either.

You guys think I'm lying, but during the presidential election I was on twitter in contact with all the presidents and political writers, and even top news broad casters. I knew i was getting attention and would be checked. I didn't care because I was having civil discourse and had never done anything wrong. Just an average American discussing politics. So I get into a discussion about Russia and Putin with someone high ranking (not going to divulge), and suddenly twit goes a little wierd, and I can tell someone is snooping around. I knew I'd be checked, no big deal. Next thing I know I can wright like 500 word tweets if I want, and I'm like... ok this is getting weird. Then I get this message, and it was obviously russian. "Why don't you tell me more about your views on russia and putin."

I told him strait back "I am not stupid and I know who you are."

Then I hit delete.

And you guys call me crazy...

When you come out of your shelter, it's going to be a moonscape. You're going to have to plant crops in soil of uncertain quality. If you want meat in your future you're going to have to keep several mating pairs of something (I always thought rabbits).

Wouldn't work for some people...

6 The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

Former Trumper. Would have been the man advising Trump if Trump had won in 2020.

I live about 15 miles downwind of a primary target...

Not sure I'm worried about that.

I've always had that kind of thing about when your time is up, your time is up, so don't sweat it. Maybe being born while Truman was still president and getting to enjoy the whole Cold War does that to you. Doesn't mean I'd recommend going around looking for trouble though.

I am usually faster than spellcheck and consider it an asset for security.

I swear there is an alternate spelling and word with a different meaning for every word in the English language. The other night it was "raise" and "raze" - pretty much opposites. Interesting though if someone says "let's go raze/raise a building." Sometimes you hear what you want to hear and ignore all the rest.

You follow Liz Cheney? Interesting...

Just like the Belgians did at Ypres.

 

[norrislakevol]

I don’t think it would long term. Saw a similar video about the nuclear winters which would occur for a few years after a full scale attack.

It would be like an asteroid strike or massive volcanic eruption if hundreds of nukes went off. The threat of world wide famine would be high for a few years afterwards because of cooler global temperatures.

Russian soldiers.

Let’s be honest who among us hasn’t woken up in a cheap hotel room with two naked Russian men after a long night of coke and liquor
