“There is no indication that Russia spends enough money to maintain the 7,000 to 12,000 nukes they claim to have. They also haven’t replaced their Mayak facility that performs that maintainence.”

Which is worrying in that the Russians may be tempted to use them before they loose them

Who cares about what Russia says about nukes. Its laughable.
They have been threatening the WEST with nukes every week for over a year now... Russian politicians “crying wolf” everyday about nukes and nuclear makes people yawn.

9 And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning.

10They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,

“Alas! Alas! You great city,
you mighty city, Babylon!
For in a SINGLE HOUR your judgment has come.”

11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore,

12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble,

13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.b

14“The fruit for which your soul longed
has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors
are lost to you,
never to be found again!”

15 The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
that was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold,
with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste.”

And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off

18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning,

“What city was like the great city?”

19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,

“Alas, alas, for the great city
where all who had ships at sea
grew rich by her wealth!
For in a single hour she has been laid waste.

20 Rejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has given judgment for you against her!”

Revelations 18: 8-20

People ask: “Where is America in the Bible?”

Don’t look too close...

But I am encouraged by Revelation 18:

Come out of her, my people,
so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
for her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.

One source of Hope we have is that if we are called to leave Mystery Babylon, there must be some place of refuge where we can go.

If the Ukraine pilots train every day, sometimes two flights a day for six months, they might have a chance.
Believe me.

total horse crap to try and scare off giving them F16.

The only F16’s would be in the Ukraine theater and no one’s putting nukes on Ukrainian planes.

The Russians will try to shoot them down that’s their right.

I agree with every domestic complaint you listed.

Unfortunately you don’t understand that if Europe and Asia are controlled by our enemies, our domestic situation will deteriorate exponentially. And our security will be in direct jeopardy.

We can maintain a strong defense and solve all those problems with a president Trump.

And I would trust him to end this war on good terms.

Everything is a nuclear threat to Putin.

The thing is, stop talking about it. They’ve talked enough. We are always watching. I am sure if things started moving, albeit in-country, the US would notice.

This constant threatening is for domestic consumption. I doubt many in the Pentagon are very worried.

Completely understandable.

The US is out of control on this Ukraine fiasco. Won’t stop till a nuke goes off. That’s how insane, and corrupt, they are.

I’m against US involvement there, period. Same with 90% of our overseas troops and bases. We’re being led by emotional women, and nutbags.

I think you are on the wrong forum. In any case, ask Central and Eastern Europeans of a certain age if they viewed the Russian army as ‘liberators.’

“””Russian battery commanders are free to use nuclear weapons if they have them, right down to their equivalent of Second Lieutenants.”””

Do you have a credible source for such a claim that a newly minted baby officer can just fire off the nukes?
