Russia-Ukraine border crisis: World War will begin in a month, warns military analyst: https://www.wionews.com/world/ru…

- Putin needs to show his balls for the upcoming elections and biden needs to defend the business of his son in Ukraine.milfhunter
- @milf 1. The Biden outrage has always been a desperate reach, it's pretty hamfisted attempt at muckraking at this point.garbage
- 2. Thinking that Putin feels he has any need to flex or that elections actually happen in Russia shows your ignorance of the situation.garbage
- He literally kills political rivals and journalists. He stole the Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring and joked that he could kill somebody with it.garbage
- Dude literally runs the jewels. He's not scared about election. The RU is not a democracy.garbage

Mass medias are mouth foaming at the moment, they fuking love wars. Its spectacular, they have lots of dramatic footage and it sells well the views and clicks.
- sadly you are correctRamanisky2
- I believe WW3 is over, went rather quickly and I think the millennials killed that too...robotron3k

Instead of World Wars, with politicians safely sitting in their protected palaces ordering young men/women that just wanted a bit of an adventurous work life instead of stacking shelfs - All those that want to fight, drop bombs and say we must do something : Trump, T May, those military nuts etc... should be sent to the Sahara desert to fight it out amongst themselves.

Russia.
United States.
China.
France.
India.
Israel.Beeswax - Hey beeswax, which one of those countries threatens to annihilate another country off the face of the earth?HijoDMaite
- Israel has ICBMs? Really?
And the UK doesn't?
Not sure I trust your list.detritus - All of them. Each one of those countries are a threat to somebodies existence in the world. Don't let me start talking about their past.You can't guarantee shitBeeswax

Russian media: what a nuclear attack on the USA would look like (video)

How sad is this. We have all the money and creativity in the world and use it to destroy ourselves. Hopefully not.

- We have not evolved, we are still big idiot monkeys. What a silly world we are leaving our children. It's both sad and infuriating.OBBTKN
- The world has forgotten the past and our ability to kill. In my country we have been at war for decades...OBBTKN
- and believe me, it's not as funny as they show it in the movies.
It's what I fear most in my life. Not for me, but for our young people.OBBTKN - strategic deterrence.

"Russian jet collides with US drone over Black Sea"
"A Russian fighter jet has collided with a US drone over the Black Sea, forcing the US Air Force to bring down its unmanned aircraft, the American military says.
It says the drone was conducting a routine operation in international airspace when two Russian jets tried to intercept it.
It says the "unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians" nearly caused one of the fighter jets and the drone to crash."— • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — •

Here's something the media seems to avoid talking about too much...what are the current nuclear arsenals of USA and Russia?
First the number of confirmed nuclear weapons in the world
The most powerful nuclear bombs ever tested, compared with those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
This shows the nuclear weapons that can currently be deployed by either side. Russia's RS-28, nicknamed "Satan II" is equivalent to "Tsar Bomb" above.
Then finally, an article making the case that none of this matters because we will all die anyway.
- Huh, I wasn't aware 'til I checked just how Fucking Big that Satan II actually is.
Arsehole relics. Fuck Russia.Nairn - Would love to know how well these weapons have been maintained and are operation judging by the res tof their military. Same applies to US I guess also.fadein11
- *operationalfadein11
- Do cold war nukes have a sell by date? :)fadein11
- not that it really matters of coursefadein11
- Yeah this is a very real question...is it really the case that Russia can launch Satan II but they can't organize a military supply convoy?yuekit
- Of course. They have world class rocketry skills and Satan II is basically just a big rocket. Nuke tech is surprisingly dumb too, for the most part.Nairn
- Anyway how stupid are humans? That article mentions that in 1987, peak year of nuclear proliferation, USA + USSR together had over 61,000 nuclear weapons.yuekit
- ..I mean, once you've had 60+ years practice, it's 'surprisingly dumb' :)Nairn
- Russia's focused most of the 'little' money it does spend on armaments on maintaining and apparently developing its nukes. That's basically their only ace.Nairn
- On the plus side, it appears that fears of a nuclear winter might have been a bit over-inflated according to recent-ish research, so that's ..er.. good?Nairn
- interesting stuff, thanks for increasing my anxiety tenfold :)fadein11
- Nobody is using all this rocket shit. Or planes!
All modern nuclear arsenals use submarines as delivery platform.grafician - Using submarines and multiple-warheads projectiles is the most efficient delivery system. Parking a sub near the coast and launching gives the enemy minutesgrafician
- ... in response time. Basically game over in 1 min in some cases.
Now go google what countries have nuclear subs :)grafician - The Great Filter was indeed the nuclear age...grafician
- wtf do submarines fire, then? And we appear to be very specifically talking about the Satan II, which is .. an icbm rocket with multiple warheads. Perhaps read.Nairn
- he thought the sub blew upfadein11
- I wish they’d fuckin’ use them already, pussiesscarabin
- @fade - that's what that status 6 thing's purported to do :/Nairn
- woah, had never heard of that one.fadein11
- Read the article at the end...Status-6 creates a "radioactive tsunami."yuekit
- blimey, insanefadein11
- Huh, I wasn't aware 'til I checked just how Fucking Big that Satan II actually is.

Pick a spot, drop a nuke, read the stats.
- Is that using the Tsar bomba?pinkfloyd
- Dunno but I copped it in the Sydney strikeMrT
- Not all nukes are alike, but from this simulation, the spread is very weak
God forbid we ever need to actually test itgrafician - ^ yeah I'm no expert but I was expecting a lot more of Sydney to get flattened. Let's hope it stays as just a questionable web simulation.MrT
- https://www.thesun.c…pinkfloyd
- now imagine 6,000 of these are flying around. Not just 1.Bennn
- Problem not with actual blasts, problem with fallout. They made a game with the same name...grafician
- There is an option at the top to change the bomb - including the Tsar Bomba - but the default is 600 Kiloton - average size nuketoemaas

China fires missiles in South China Sea 'in warning to US' after plane entered no-fly zone
https://www.express.co.uk/news/w…
- this is fluff.Nairn
- because?Krassy
- it's a local fire play within an essentially international zone. You don't think the US does this sort of shit all the time?Nairn
- Meh. This thread was started 14 years ago, don't think this will change anything.Maaku
- @Naim the problem is that China does NOT want it to be considered an international zone. Lots at stake here. South China Sea is a massive conflict!Krassy
- If Trump gets re-elected, all bets are off...civil war, etc. He'll surely feel emboldened to just push buttons.formed
- Yeah, I get that, Krassy - the entiriety of SE Asia gets that - I'm just saying this event is fluff in context of prodding WW3.Nairn
- Shit's been bubbling for years. Remember this, from 2001?
https://en.wikipedia…Nairn - @Naim yes, I get all that too, but just because it's been going on for a long time, actions like the current ones aren't "fluff" but instead further escalationKrassy
