Apart from having fun with the somewhat disturbing idea that NO really lives up to his board name.....Uh...I was just pointing out that.. uh ..maybe bombing everyone with ...uh...nuclear weapons ...is uh..ahm a bad idea for everyone, even if you're a continent away?
And hopefully most people do still think like that today. I do not want to find out if mad still works as a deterrent or not.
But keep on ludendorffing around in alternate timelines.

“Bad for everyone?” Yes
What any sane person wants, no.
But will that stop Putin from tossing them? i am not convinced that there is much of anything that that evil fuck isnt capable of. He IS the Russian state in his mind and should any threat to him materialize, I have no doubt that he’ll do it.
Would Hitler have used nukes 4/1945 if he’d had them? 100%
Russia is not going to use a nuke because China told Putin NO. Putin is Xi's junior partner. So from a game theory standpoint Putin's nuclear threats means:
- Russia is weaker than expected
- Ukraine is stronger than expected
- America / Europe are unreliable allies
- Therefore all nations need to acquire nukes of their own
The most important takeaway is falling for Russian nuclear bluffs will make the world a much more dangerous place in the future
Russia declares "War on Christmas" says “we don’t want anything foreign in our skies”:

This is Russia. Russian propaganda released a vid shooting down Santa Claus with a missile *after* they shot down Azeri Flight 8243
Tucker would choose Russia over Christmas any day, any way.
“Russian is a Christian country..” said my MAGA relative. Yeah a Christian country that attacked it’s Christian neighbors on Christmas Day.
I'd rather be American than Republican.
Ok, sure Russia shot down another civilian plane and declared War On Christmas but have you considered they have coin return shopping carts?

I remember when one could be both. At least arguably.Quote:

What is the truth? If everything is a lie nothing is a lie!Quote:

Putin apologizes and they are investigating which means some russian army officer and his family will take the fall
"Death is not the end, but the beginning of eternal glory! Remember, warrior, remember: your true fear is not death, but shame before your country. To be captured means to betray your comrades, your family and your people. Only those who prefer honor to weakness will become an example for the next generation. Your death on the battlefield will become a symbol of courage and fortitude. Shame lasts longer than life, but the glory of a hero is eternal!
Holding the grenade firmly in your hand, remove the pin, boldly remove the safety pin and place the grenade under your chin or under your bulletproof vest". King Jong
Russia has lost (killed wounded or captured) to the equivalent or more then the population of either Vermont, , Wyoming, Alaska or North Dakota.
Sounds like this one may have been Russian incompetence plus some old fashioned political moves to cover up a mistake right out of the [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]]’s Soviet Union playbook. Theory on some pro Ukrainian podcasts is that Russian jamming caused it to be misidentified by the SAM battery , jamming also interfered with communications so they didn’t respond to calls. Overzealous Russians kill the plane, realize their mistake and hope it crashes into the sea so the evidence all disappears.

Are we playing Ukrainian word association game??!?!?
It's crazy how the 2025 vibe in Russia is a total Orwellian nightmare and yet there is still leftoid intellectual anti-colonial sympathy for Russia matched in equal part by rightoid white nationalist sympathy for Russia as an imperial power

Not just one but two Russian helicopters were shot down. There's audio to prove it. It was initially reported that a second helicopter managed to land safely but it turns out that one crashed too.Quote:

That's a reasonable stance. The underlying issue is, whether it's support for Russia or wherever, most of it stems from belief that America is the biggest evil in the world today. It's not really about Ukraine or Russia. It's a belief that the world would be a better place if we left the likes of Putin or Xi or the Ayatollahs alone. For all our faults, and there are many, a democratic West will always be the much lesser evil versus totalitarian regimes. It was true during the Cold War and it's still true today
Decolonize Russia!
Fundamentally that's what Putin's war is about. He wants his colony back
And a few more anywhere he can get them. Eastern Europe, Africa, American tankies.
Other than the dead people and shattered lives, damn shame about the years of picking up live and dead ordinance that is strewn about. In addition to the petrol and hazmat fluids from the exploded machines.
