6000+ is not an exact number, it is an estimate. You stated as FACT that the US would lose a nuke war against Russia. If you found a report that the reason the US stop an exercise was to avoid making Putin mad, your Google Foo is better than mine, because I can find no such article. And if you can find it I expect it will be my opinion. I am pretty sure the US would not say in print, "We are afraid of fighting Russia, so we are going to stop any military actions that might make Putin mad"... But, I could be wrong, apparently, you can't be wrong. |

You realize we’re both on the same side of this fight… of course, who knows for sure these days. Read all my posts. I didn’t state Russia would win. My point is that with Russia just as, and if not more, nuclear armed as the US, and an old man in Russia at the helm with an itchy finger who doesn’t care who he takes with him, there will be no winners if this goes thermonuclear. There will be no tit for tat with Putin. He’s the world bully with his big weapon. Last edited by Aces4; 03-14-2022 at 12:03 PM. |

You said, "I think you don’t have to worry about tit for tat, Russia is way ahead of the US in nuke weapons." I see no way to read/interpret that other than If we tried to go tit-for-tat Russia will win, BECAUSE they are "WAY AHEAD OF THE US in Nukes". But, then, you can read it anyway you want. I agree you also stated there would be no winner - in a later post. I agree with that. If we go nuclear we all lose. |

Way ahead of us, yes they are. We no longer have a weapons edge to control freak dictators with nukes, they have them too. They’re ahead of us which translates to: we are able to blow each other apart. No one has an edge, just evil lurking. Last edited by Aces4; 03-14-2022 at 01:14 PM. |

There was a good opinion piece recently about all the strong arm authoritarians moving into positions of power around the world. The opinion was that this happens when people are unhappy, losing ground economically, and feel threatened. They look to the authoritarians to bring stability and a return to "how things were". I have always said that "people" will not rise up against their government until they feel they have nothing left to lose. I think that reflects the same sentiment. Sadly, the US is failing to meet its citizens needs and the result is a splintering and that is not good. Democracy only works when people have faith in it. |

I suppose that everyone has a DIFFERENT "something". This war certainly won't lessen global warming and lessen Covid and other diseases. It will lower world population a small amount, likely .....but, it is not the ideal way to accomplish that. It WILL cause a lot of population relocation and refugees. 2/3 of all refugees never return to their original country. And most will want to end up in the US just in time to add to our own internal lack of cohesion!

It might happen accidentally, but unlikely on purpose - because the prevailing winds would blow the radiation eastward toward Russia.

We could put Chinese flags on the planes and boats. I am sure no one will notice.

Actually, the Germans lost in Stalingrad, partly due to snipers which were both genders. Germans leveled the city with bombs. It was within this rubble that the Russians were able to attach the Germans at close quarters. The tactic was referred to as "hugging the enemy" which took away the Germans ability to use artillery and mortar for fear of hitting their own German forces. This was innovative strategy was introduced be the Russian commander Vasily Chuikov. As the fighting continues and the Ukrainian resolve to tested we will see this method of fighting in use against the Russians, ironically the original users against the Germans 81 years ago (1941).
