Where do we stand with russia's missile capability?Hypothetically do they have the capability to hit the uk and what kind of damage would it do?

They can hit anywhere in the world with nuclear missiles. But so can the US, UK, France and a few others.

They have the ability to make the entire world a nuclear wasteland.

With conventional tips, they could hit anything and everything they wanted and destroy it.

You're the one applying too much imagination, pal. You're coming from the sixth form assumption that the truth must be equidistant between western liberal media and RT Kremlin disinformation, without worrying too much about the relative credibility of the two sources.

RT successfully brainwashed Useful Idiots into believing the Syrian revolution was Islamist, due to the participation of a few Islamist groups. They're employing the same disinformation strategy with the Azov battalion and the Ukrainian government.

Everyone knows where the Azov Battalion get their arms from: the Ukrainian government. They're part of the National Guard and tolerated because they're ruthless fighters in a dirty guerrilla war. For every alleged war-crime there are an equal or greater number of allegations against the separatists, made up of nationalists, Russian mercenaries and outright criminals like 'Motorola'. But you aren't too arsed about them, or the war crimes currently being committed by the Russian army, just that Kremlin line cos it makes you an edgy free-thinker.

I'm not assuming anything or being edgy. I've given some pretty anodyne opinions based on facts from official and archive docs I've take the time to look up and read. I've shared a few on this thread.

Where do you get your pearls of wisdom?

Yes, from land, sea and air theoretically.

The damage doesn’t bear thinking about.

I do hope you're better informed than I am.

1. Finland was Russia only 100+years ago. Now proudly independent but not always so. With that you learn to pick your arguments.
2. Honorably held Pact on both sides until 1992 of friendship. One sided yes but I don't recall Finland being in Warsaw Pact... Look up "Finlandization".
3. Big trade partner.
4. Karelia.
5. No big gammon nationalist thing in Finland. Some recently but didn't gain traction UK allowed farage to. Finland political system prevents it.

Happy to hear you side. Please....

My history isnt the best at times, but I am sure Finland won a conflict with Russia to stay Independent, that makes a big difference.

Yes, but we can also hit them from anywhere.

There are constantly at least two British nuclear submarines patrolling the world’s oceans ready to drop their payload.

There was a reason Angela Merkel was considered the most powerful woman on the earth. Even Putin was intimidated by her.

Being in charge of an economical and military powerhouse while winning elections by a complete landslide without rigging them. Her very last one with the right of anti-migration parties was her worst result and still got 41% of the vote between 38 different parties.

Her standing down was the best thing to happen to Putin since Brexit.

She agreed a deal to supply Germany with 65 per cent of its gas from Russia.

They do but won’t.

The doctors there kept Yeltsin alive to the point that it was almost comical. If Donald Trump can make his mid 70s, Putin can make it to about 110.

If they want him to. There is a strategic advantage to the west and indeed his fellow countrymen painting him as mad or unwell, his unexpected demise looks less suspicious.

Glad we have nukes.

Finland embarrassed them just before WW2

What point are you trying to make?

I said to someone I didn't think history wouldn't look too kindly on Zelensky either and the lads who've rushed out to buy their Ukraine flags are having a hissy fit. It must have put them off their vinegar strokes.

I think even Putin is sane enough to know that if he touched the UK, the US response alone would turn his country into a landscape that would embarrass a Martian.

 

[Dogbark]

Glad we have nukes.

Why marra?
