Read an article over the weekend how Putin announced he’s
bringing nucs to Belarus, first time since the 90s. Not cool.

Yea it is certainly unnerving so to speak.. My biggest fear is what is the end game. Russia is losing and will continue to do so. Will they stick their tails between there legs and run back to Russian? Only time will tell.. But you are correct in the move. Really no difference where they are whether in the Russia or Belarus.. Some are probably very close to the US on a sub.. It is certainly old hearing news like this day after day...

I remember, Cuban missile crisis, the Russians said they had
enough nukes to destroy the entire world like 50 times...
The USA said they could destroy it 35 times ...
I say after the first time, does it really matter ...
Nuclear winter will last decades if not 100's of years ...
Nothing will grow, animals (the ones not vaporized) will
starve... No one can live underground for as long as it would take
to cool off this planet ... The fall out would be a world wide event..
Chernobyl was in 86 how's that working out..
No one wins.... We will all die ...
Last resort is nukes ...

And the Ukranians certainly are wiping out this once though mighty military.. Interesting that they are doing it with our weapons... If we could only fight a conventional war we would wipe Russia out(03-29-2023, 11:08 PM)German23 Wrote: Yea it is certainly unnerving so to speak.. My biggest fear is what is the end game.

I hear you on that! I was born after the Cold War ended, so 2022 and Russia’s nuclear threats were a real anxiety inducer for me and a lot of my social group. But wildly enough MAD still holds and we’re still here! I think Russia will stay and continue to commit mass murder, because what other choice does Putin have?When your leadership strategy and overall country’s approach to international relations is strength thru violence and unrefined gangsterism, retreating isn’t an option.
They are still hoping Western support will fade, but it won’t. This invasion has strengthened the West’s resolve for energy independence and being less beholden to dictators like Putin and Xi for natural resources. Which is also a great step forward for clean energy. It has also been a reminder of the moral imperative of democratic and free societies to stand against evil on this scale. This reminder is sadly coming at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians, a people and country whose only crime is wanting to be part of Europe and free of Russian imperialism. The aid the West gives is a fraction of our collective defense budgets. And for that fraction, the Ukrainians are wiping out what was supposed to be one of the “greatest” militaries in the world.
Isolationists are always too quick to forget the lessons of the past. If you don’t stop a tyrant early, they just keep going. Ask Churchill, ask FDR, ask Stalin (Molotov-Ribbentrop pact anyone??), heck, ask Tito (he stood up to Soviet aggression as the head of Yugoslavia for 30 years). You give a psychopath an inch, they’ll take a mile.
