For the Freepers that are for war with Russia..... This is just reminder of what it could lead tp. Don’t forget the Russians have nuclear subs off our shores.
Here is the attack scene from the early 80s TV movie The Day After. It could lead to this if spins out of control
What you see is an EMP strike first (nuke in the stratosphere) that will basically blind us (shuts everything down) followed by nuclear strike.

I don’t think there is a single person here in favor of war with Russia. Rather, I think they are all pointing out that Putin is just doing what putin does. He’s a bully that shakes down the weak kids for their lunch money but when the Football team shows up, he backs down.
If you have never read Red Dawn, I highly recommend it. It shows how there could be a real war between the US and the Soviets without anyone using Nukes, not that I would be in favor of such a thing.
But the fact is, the real world brings consequences that prevent leaders from taking actions that they take almost whimsically in movies.
i.e. you don’t just drop a few nukes because it looks like you are losing. You negotiate a peace, and hopefully one that can still save face. That is how the real world works. Though, there is, technically, always the possibility of “winner take all” war, it is absurdly rare, and with the result of “all” being a nuclear wasteland, it’s even more rare.
Without me going into detail about how I know, let me just say that you’d be surprised just how ineffective such a thing would actually be, especially against our military.
It’s mainly a scare tactic.
Plus, my 1960 John Deere tractor would still run fine. :)
War with Russia would destroy our great cities and along with it the Democrat Party.
For the Freepers that are for war with Russia.....
FReepers parroting decades old anti-American leftist pablum. Nothing principled or conservative about that. Are you a Democrat by chance?
I stand with the Commander In Chief.
Thank God we finally have one.
