Prison Planet.com » 10 Signs That Russia Is Preparing To Fight (And Win) A Nuclear War With The United States

MAD is a thing of the past.
Russia is quite hard.
Russia doesn't want a nuclear war, but if there is one, wants to come out on top.
America used to have 31000 nuclear devices, no less that 2000.

Which does beg the question, why do they have such a swagger about them?

How do you win a nuclear war. Its like winning a pissing competition in a paddling pool. You may win but the end prize is not something you want...

The reason the Russian invasion of Ukraine is still continuing is that Obama said at one point Ukraine is not worth fighting a war about (back in March)

This was a signal for Putin he could do whatever he wanted and he is still doing it.
Even if what Obama said is true, he should never have spoken these words in public.

Invasion? If Russia did invade it would be over in 48 hours.

So how would you call the situation in Crimea and eastern Ukraine? It's an invasion.

So how would you call the situation in Crimea and eastern Ukraine? It's an invasion.

Crimea was originally part of Russia and at the end of the USSR, Russia leased the land used by military bases. Ever since there have been Russian troops and ships based there. When I had a Ukraine visa, it did not cover Crimea as special visa had to be jointly issued with Ukraine and the CIS. Crimea voted to breakaway from Russia. See Kosovo for a precedent. There was no invasion.

Had Russia invaded East Ukraine there would be absolute proof and a UN resolution. The only evidence is spurious such as YouTube videos of helicopters in Syria, manoeuvres in West Ukraine and such like.

What is proven is that Blackwater are fighting in Ukraine and so are jihadists on the side of the Ukrainians.

A misleading article in the Independent which is owned by the Russian Lebedev family who are in opposition to Putin.

They also own the Evening Standard. Not a day goes past without an anti Putin article.
