There are no friends or allies in the ROP-dominated countries. They all hate us. Some ally with us for their own gain. Eliminating all those countries would bring immediate peace to most of the world.

The oil price war is what’s really happening. Russia’s economy depends very much on high oil prices and is being defeated by low oil prices.

you are either ready or you are not.

Its a binary outcome - one or the other.

Most capable military command structures have contingencies for most everything. It is likely the russian high command has a few contingencies for the syria/ISIS mission that includes the use of tactical nukes. So, yes, they are ready to use nukes.

The big question is "what is the probability of a tactical nuke strike?"

For the sake of conversation we might want to explore the conditions that would push that probability out to 100%.

"I have to admit that I am a little bit scared at this point."

It wouldn't be that bad. Have a look at the following interactive map (shows effects in any chosen target area).

Special political interests have been lying to us about the effects of nuclear weapons. Nuclear war is much more survivable than presented in their false scenarios! Have a look at the effects of one of the most powerful warheads--warheads that will not be used, because much smaller yields are much more practical (costs, delivery, concealment, lack of extra effects with higher yields, etc.).

Be a shame if one accidentally hit Mecca. A crying shame.

Bomb could also have been planted in Russia and set up to go off in the Middle East as a false flag in order to give cover for Putin going to DEFCON 1 in Syria.

Hmmm, no doubt the full scale global thermonuclear war of the War Games movie is not what is being considered by Putin.

However, I think my fear stems from what I imagine that Obama would consider.

I am more afraid of my own president than I am of Russia’s.

Wow...

Can’t believe I just typed that.
