[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is spiraling out of control. Russia is losing and is now pushing for a farcical referendum for 'independence'.  If it passes, Putin will then claim that NATO weapons are being used to attack Russia soil directly, which gives him pretexts to unleash the full might of the military, or worse yet, a reason to start using nukes because NATO is 'attacking' Russian soil.  It is a joke of course, but if the referendum passes it will lead to extremely dangerous brinkmanship that really could escalate to nukes.[/quote]

Isn’t unleashing the nukes like the ultimate step? Why does it need a pretext. Nobody will care for it anyway.
He might be bluffing though [/quote]

Russia would use tactical nukes.  It doesn’t have to be a warhead that’d decimate the entire planet. [/quote]

Still bad for both Russia and Europe because radiation?
Not even mentioning Ukraine - nobody cares unfortunately [/quote]

Im sure Russia would drop leaflets like we did in Japan giving everybody time to evacuate.
They probably feel like what Harry Truman said. “It’s either us or them to die…I choose them”[/quote]

Russia is much closer to Europe/Ukraine than Japan is from the US [/quote]
