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.

Before he was in office I used to say that he’d probably nuke Canada trying to order up coffee.

A big effect of Russian using nukes on Ukraine would be the destruction of the massive money laundering operation our criminal political elites.

Go to google maps street view. Ground Zero Hiroshima looks like it is back to normal. Buildings, shops, pedestrians.

"The only people who start talking about using nuclear weapons is the west particular the Biden ministration"

They were talking about them before February, but in reference to their domestic enemies (see Biden and Eric Swalwell).

Who pretends to know the mind or motives of Biden's handlers?

Possessing nuclear weapons is of little value without the corresponding WILL to use them and a plan for most effective deployment under a variety of circumstances.

"What Happens If Russia Attacks With Nuclear Weapons?"

In the dis-United States, nothing!

Committees would be formed, bluster would cloud the airwaves, the Ruskies would say they didn't do it, and more tyranny would be imposed on the American serfs by our benevolent communist rulers...

We have made Europe’s problem our problem since 1914 and again when we started supporting Ukraine. We have made it a habit to stick our nose where it does not belong. But when TSHTF we shall have to solve our problems without any f’n help.

I guess you think China is out of the picture and you don’t mention N Korea with its nukes eager to try them out.

Russia may use a nuke for the EMP effect to take out Ukraine’s drone force.

Can we all agree that if it comes to nuclear war that those patriots whom remain promise to hunt down the survivors who were responsible?

Another new Texas account more concerned with Ukraine’s borders than their own.

Someone needs to put a Texas sized boot up your backside son.
