i think russia might use some tactical nukes there prob thinking if USA used them in 1945 on the battlefield surely, we can use some with lower yield


whatever USA told them i dont think they care and will call there bluff


whats the worst USA and nato can do use there airforce to bomb russian forces in Ukraine ..???

even if they put boots in ukraine they can get nuked has well ..????


its not like there going to invade russia proper ..even if they bomb russia proper that would be like a bunch of mosquitos trying to bomb so mannnyy targets

The Batlord

They'll probably bomb everything Russia owns outside of Russia and Ukraine.

Nah, now that China, their main ally, has come out and said don't ****ing dare use nukes, they won't ****ing dare. Russia is nothing without China's support, the only reason Biden didn't go into Moscow at the head of a US-led coalition and kick their asses. If they use nuclear weapons China will say **** you guys you're on your own, and that will be the end of Mother Russia for good.

Plus China and the US are talking about mending their relations. China still wants to be an economic power and they know what side of the bread they need to butter. Not a good thing for Putin.

Sorry but have you taken too many drugs?? Russia can be on their own but they can't survive against the west without China. China is their America. If someone invaded say France or the UK, America would be right in there as part of NATO, bringing the full weight of the US military to bear probably. They certainly would warn the aggressor not to **** with them unless they want to **** with America. China is the only major power that would support Russia if the West attacked them, which is about the only reason (as I've already said) that the Biden Train didn't ride into Moscow. If China tells Russia, start firing nukes and we're cutting you loose, they won't, because they know they'll have no support. If you understand this, then your post makes no sense, except perhaps in the rarefied heights of the Norgverse.

Sorry to disagree with you, Trolls, but as Norg says, China only looks out for China. True. they would love to be able to more or less own Russia but they want American money more. If it comes to supporting Russia directly in a military way (we can't complain if China sends them weapons when we're doing the same with Ukraine but if they send troops...) and selling their wares to the Western World, I suspect they'll take the latter. Again, China wants to be an economic power more than anything else. Yes, I know they want Taiwan too but they've always been able to get around that.


Meanwhile, what do you think will happen now that Russian missiles have fallen (probably by mistake) into Poland? Do we wiggle out of it with the possibility that Russia might take it as an excuse to bomb Poland on purpose, or is this the beginning of the end?
