What Happens If Russia Attacks With Nuclear Weapons?
19FortyFive ^ | 10/9/2022 | Robert Farley

The impact of the use of a nuclear device in Ukraine will depend on the details. Like any large-scale industrial army, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have obvious pressure points that would be vulnerable to nuclear attack. These include logistical centers, command and communications nodes, and concentrations of front-line forces. During the Cold War the Soviet Union expected to use tactical nuclear weapons against NATO (and expected that NATO would use them in return) and it is therefore likely that the Russian armed forces have workable theories as to how they might best use tactical nukes to inflict damage on Ukraine’s fielded forces.

The winter weather has done a good job in the past. I certainly hope there’s no need to invade Russia. But if they start nuking folks, they’re going down. Left and Right will support the effort worldwide.

Why Russia and not the US divided? How do you know the outcome beforehand?

If Putin uses nukes in Ukraine, the entire world would shut him down. Russia would become a pariah. No imports, no exports. No trade at all. A complete cessation of their ability to act as a nation state.

We wouldn’t have to fire a shot.

No one would want to come across as “supporting” a nuclear attack.

I don’t know about that stuff. Interesting to think about though. Does the political declaration come first, or the occupation of Russia? How will radiation levels affect any humanitarian effort to save Muscovites? Apocalyptic stuff...

The outer studies done for the effects of the tests done in NV?

I havent seen anything for the Colorado River system?

I do know that in St George Utah, they hung detectors on people and collected them. They conveniently forgot to include parts of Clark Co NV and Mohave Co AZ. I wonder why?

We’re already divided for sure. Canada and Mexico are not threatening to nuke us though. Russia is threatening to nuke its own neighbor. If they do so, they will be a former security council member and be steamrolled culturally. It’s a losing strategy.

If it weren’t for the loss of Ukrainian lives, I’d kind of hope they go for it to see them further relegated to the history books as the USSR was.

Zelensky didn’t have access to HIMARs either. Anyone who thinks he can’t get a tactical nuke is delusional.

Why would Putin hit Ukraine when he knows that’ll start World War III?

Putin can read - knows Biden the Fool’s goons running our military will make the ‘worst choice’ possible - like they’ve done since Biden took office. Remember Afghanistan?

If Putin uses nukes he’ll start and finish with the US...

You are beginning to make Biden look competent. Please stop.

The other one:
“ What if they blow up the Ukraine? “

Kinda undermines and negates the reason they are there since they aren’t going to hold ground no one can hold for a few thousand years

Dumb

I agree, once a nuke flies, they are going down.

No more Tik Tok, Instagram, and Facebook.

That would be a bit of a silver lining.

Would you quote the Russian threats to nuke Ukraine? It is a sort of Assad’s chem attack at this point.

"Do you know what a Tactical Nuclear weapon is compared to a Strategic Nuclear weapon ?"

Absolutely. Now, how do you tell the national command authorities when either one of them is used, that all bets aren't off and full nuclear war hasn't actually begun?

Get back to me on that one.

No. You can do your own homework. My comments are about the aftermath of such an attack. It would destroy Russia.

Bible history indicates that God believed Sodom and Gomorrah were worthy of destruction for sexual deviancy such as homosexuality. So I ask you, who is more accepting of, if not a participant of homosexuality? Zelensky and Ukraine, or Putin and Russia? And if you go North from Israel, which county do you run into first, Ukraine, or Russia? I’m not saying this is definitive proof of who Gog/Magog in Revelation may be, because I do not know, just casting doubt on your assertion on who you think it must be. Freegards.

Could very well be.
I’m open to multiple timelines on Gog/Magog(Ezekiel 38/39) because stuff is happening so fast and we could see a Middle East war well before it.
