Would a blast from Russia be larger than Hiro/Naga? That’s what I’m assuming.

They’re messing with you.

There have been hundreds of atmospheric nuclear bombs detonated for testing and hundreds more underground. 43 of them were on a single atoll in the Pacific.

Total nuclear detonations is around 2000.

Clearly bombs hitting cities and infrastructure would be worse. Though I’m unsure about total megatons of testing vs weaponry currently.

“ Fuentes, who has been labeled a White supremacist by the US Department of Justice and the Anti-Defamation League, has been banned from most major social media platforms for his White nationalist rhetoric.

Last week, Fuentes wrote on the messaging app Telegram, “I am totally rooting for Russia,” while also referring to Putin as “my Czar.”

Proving once again that white nationalists (marjorie taylor greenes face is where they put their tea bags) are fucking idiots. Putin is communist to the core. He would hate being called a Czar.

Couple Defense and National Security professors I had in the cold war days believed about 50 cities getting nuked and burning is what it would take to hurl us in to full fledged Nuclear Winter.. Take that Climate Change..

Reading this kinda freaked me out back then..

Yes one nuke would fuck the earth. There’s never been a nuclear detonation

You must consider the doomsday machine.

In fact we're all dead now.

Not dead, but, I'm taking the blue pill.

“ Putin is communist to the core. He would hate being called a Czar.

Is he really a communist, though? I mean, maybe in the Stalinist ‘dacha’ owners sense, perhaps. But his extensive personal wealth is far, far beyond what any communist in history ever had command of. He is more of an oligarch than a comrade, IMO.

[Benny Profane]

He's as communist as much as Xi is a communist. C'mon, man.

[rideit]

That’s my point.

Regarding the Fin-Soviet border, good friend of mine worked in Finland in the 90’s. spent quite a bit of time along the Soviet border. All the roads that connect across the line had pipes on the side going into the road subgrade. All bush workers has their explosives ticket, and a box of dynamite in the back of the truck was regulation. If the call ever came over the radio, the fuses were lit and very km or so the Finnish resource roads would get blown up.

Not sure if thar is still the plan, but my friend said at the time the Finn’s remember and have no desire for 1000’s of hungry Ruskies storming across the border. No love lost there.

[frorider]

That’s my point.

Yeah 50 pages in … didn’t think we needed to review this part

Yeah, He is a totalitarian murderer, just like Stalin, Hitler or Mao (or a long list of smaller scale thugs). It doesn’t really matter what lie got him there, does it?

I'm not really that worried this will happen, but, hypothetical situation here.

Does the US have any type of nuclear weapon deterrent system? If Russia decided to point all their nukes at the US and fire, would they pretty much all hit their targets? Or do we have the technology to blow them up in the sky on their way like the Israeli Iron Dome?

Also, have we thought about the astronauts on the ISS? Are the Russians and Americans/Germans up there just going about their business as usual? Putin just straight threatened to let that thing fall out of the sky onto the US or Europe.

If I was a better student of history I would have known UA has been honing their shit-talking prowess for centuries.

Late stage capitalism apparently has come to the communist government world too. In the 70s they got a Dacha and a bigger ration of bread. Nowadays they get a sprawling complex in Sochi or some other spot.


Putin is KGB to the fucking core.
If he was focused on being an oligarch or getting more money, he wouldn’t have taken this military action.

Saw a protest sign pic today - “if Russia stops fighting there is no war, if Ukraine stops fighting there is no Ukraine”

People on the US buying vodka and dumping it out. Seems like that's supporting the vodka industry rather than hurting it... furthermore, most vodka in the US isn't from Russia

.

this is the point of nato’s anti-icbm installations. the things russia complains about are these defensive installations that get better and closer every generation and the fact that troops can be installed there. it is not clear how effective they are since they’ve thankfully never been tested in war or what the fuck would happen if a nuke was clobbered out of the sky over europe. or a thousand of them.

maybe summit has more info about the various layers deployed. idk. but yeah there are surface
to air anti missile defenses in place if that helps you sleep.

This nuclear shit has me panicked a bit. I’m hoping it’s sabre rattling but he seems unhinged which is kind of terrifying. If he nuked Ukraine, would 1 nuke cause enough radioactive debris to fuck the earth? I just don’t know about this shit.

I've seen this kind of thing referenced In a few places. This post is the closest I found to original sources that I'd trust for it. Browder is the one who pushed for the Magnitsky act and had a history in Russia before falling out. Kuleba, quoted, is the Ukrainian minister of foreign affairs. https://mobile.twitter.com/billbrowd...68972652302342



I referenced the Russian apartment bombings earlier, those provided a lot of support for Putin and the government to brutalize Chechnya the second time. There seems to be a fair amount of evidence of wasn't done by Chechens, but very little investigation happened from what I remember.

My understanding is that there are not currently systems capable of intercepting MRV ICBMs, which Russia has in their possession.

Incredible art. Great Wiki read too.

Contrast that this image with todays 24 hr news cycle, social media, the memosphere etc kinda makes the head spin. We still basic AF.

The campus I work on has a photo series in one of the galleries about Arctic warfare. Particularly timely on the curator's part.

One of the pieces is a large installation in Canada that is part of a missile defense for North America. I will try to remember to take pictures tomorrow.

when the ICBM are incoming, there will be no interceptions. the retaliation will start before interceptions would be possible...
