Stationing missiles in the west would just cover more parts of Poland but there‘s already Kaliningrad for that

It‘s mainly Ukraine that‘s threatened by this deployment and even so, they already share a border with Russia so it doesn’t change much other than make it easier to bomb Kyiv

It’s working on me somewhat
It is scary, I agree, even with nukes in Kaliningrad already being a thing

I don’t mean the range, I’m more scared about Putin even considering them
With icbms they could hit anywhere on the planet anytime
leaden grove
I don’t mean the range, I’m more scared about Putin even considering them
Yeah but he and other officials have threatened other countries with them for more than a year now
And I remember reading a FT article about the beginning of the war which said that Putin had people wargame using nukes
gusty tendon

But this time it’s Putin directly, and he’s actually somewhat doing something to conceal his bluff
leaden grove
But all the simulations ended poorly for him
gusty tendon
It’s an escalation
leaden grove
It certainly is
gusty tendon
I really don’t like this
leaden grove
And it‘s a violation of the Lisbon protocol which states that Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus must remain nuke-free
gusty tendon
I won’t stop supporting Ukraine, at all
I’ll just hope Putin still has a bit of rational thinking left in his brain
leaden grove
^^
paper cedar
He isn't stupid, but does have his own opinions that are extremely wrong
leaden grove
I think that this perpetual state of war actually benefits him because it‘s an excuse for even more repressions
paper cedar
Yeah
They don't do it if there is no benefits
And using nukes is just suicide because it is an open way of sending an invitation to entire world to destroy Russia
gusty tendon
Or he would have already used nukes previous year
That reasoning won’t always hold up. At the worst possible scenario, there’s a plot within Russia to overthrow Putin and he’s doing this either to hold the world at gunpoint or to threaten them.
That isn’t really realistic, but we aren’t privy to every piece of data, and he may not be acting rationally
What I’m saying is, nukes are very dangerous and every possible scenario should be considered
leaden grove
That reasoning won’t always hold up. At the worst possible scenario, there’s a p...
I agree with you, I think it‘s just difficult to find the right balance here between just outright ignoring those nukes and letting nuclear powers do anything because they have nukes
In the end, the threat of nukes is always there, and a factor to consider but not the only one
I think Russia also has this general habit of boasting about the might of its weapons even if it doesn’t actually intend to use them, which is ultimately rooted in domestic propaganda. I think the map shows pretty well that it‘s mainly Ukraine that is threatened by this, but it‘s nothing that Kaliningrad or the Russian oblasts near the border couldn’t achieve before (especially since they have not just Iskander systems but ICBMs at their disposal there)
gusty tendon
Nukes are both a blessing and a curse (mostly a curse, but at least WW3 hasn’t happened yet)

It would be a particularly flashy suicide.
To preserve his power Putin needs to either win this war, which is unlikely, or extend it until his death. Striking Ukraine with nukes isn't winning. It still technically a local territorial conflict and using nuclear weaponry in it would be an unprecedented event, that will put all civilized world against him. At best it will completely destroy Russian economy, at worst, well, I doubt a lot of people would wish to live next to a trigger happy monkey with a grenade.
Either way too much of a mess, too much escalation. That doesn't line with how Putin conducted his policy up until now. He is more of a corrupt crook, than a mad warlord.

True but the thing is we as normal people who just live life we shouldn't consider the scenarios
Because we have only public information we really can't make anything out of it and especially what will happen in the future

There's a lot of speculation about the drone hitting the Kremlin, does anyone have a reliable source which sheds light on who's actually behind that attack?
copper monolith
west says it's a false flag, dunno what that would achieve
kremlin says it was Ukraine, which is so astronomically unlikely that they got 2 tiny drones to fly 100s of kilometers into the very "heart" of russia, the most guarded place in the country, and no air defence shot them down?
I remember a couple months back they installed AA batteries on some government buildings in Moscow too
if it was truly Ukrainian UAVs, that's so pathetic on Russia's part lmao
I'm inclined to believe it was just a false flag, the explosion yield was tiny
fossil horizon
It's like the sinking of Moskva again
Was it sunk by a storm or by Ukraine either way it is humiliating for Russia
Was the drone a Ukrainian toy that flew 1000km over protected area and AA or was it a false flag both make them look like either fools or liars
limber jolt
I'm inclined to believe it was just a false flag, the explosion yield was tiny
I mean, even if it was a false flag, it feels kinda weird that they would hit the Kremlin with a false flag operation
but such an attack also doesn't benefit Ukraine at all
silk iron
Other sources suppose it could have also been anti-Putin dissidents not affiliated with Ukraine. This also raises a lot of questions about the Kremlin's security not functioning, but dissidents seem to have a more plausible motive and the Ukrainian government tends not to deny their operations when they're successful.
tl;dr atm no one seems to know.
limber jolt
honestly that was one of the other things I was thinking
also reminds me of that time some person flew a Cessna into the red square iirc
silk iron
Some Russian media sources have claimed this drone attack was a Ukrainian attempt on Putin's life, despite him not being in the Kremlin during the attack, and the drone/grenade attack seeming rather underwhelming, dare I say amateurish.
Is this Putin's paranoia or is it a false-flag attempt to fabricate a justification for assassination attempts on Ukrainian government officials? Would the Russian state even bother with justifying escalation at this point if it makes their internal security look weak? Is the Russian state more concerned with hiding internal plots, and pretending they're external threats?
