Because it's not based on one man. If we nuke him personally they have submarines who will be ordered to strike back immediately. Its not a case of "kill Putin and kill Russia". And launch sites everywhere. Also it's unlikely we could take out every land based nuke site, that's just the ones we know of.

Furthermore, if they detect a launch or multiple launches as would be the case under your plan, they will respond in kind before anything hits them, ensuring both sides are wiped out

They have a system called Dead Hand or Perimeter depending who you believe that is an auto retaliate if leadership taken out.

If only it were that simple eh?

This is a total aside, but I’ve never understood why people spell it “rouble” in English. There’s only one vowel in рубль (the y-looking character) and it’s pronounced as a long u in English. “Ruble” or even “Rooble” would be much more accurate.

Only word with ou that’s pronounced like that? Can’t think of another.

Cause it’s a war zone? I’m sorry, I thought you attacked things in a war. My mistake!

You obviously don’t know why, you’re just making broad assumptions. I asked the question not because I think they should be doing it, but because I thought someone with some military experience or strategic insight might be able to offer some insight.

Turns out you aren’t that person.

Okay mate. I’m sure the people of the Ukraine will sleep well knowing the west are having good political debate. It’s disgraceful the leaders of the free world are watching this unfold.

mate, the rest of the world cannot get involved, its sanctions or nothing. I think Pukin is daft enough to start a nuke war, so sanctions it is

Other than the internet and drones, not much has really changed at all since Red Storm Rising!

Yeah. Maybe the gap between their elite troops (training, equipment, tech) and their conscripts/regular troops may have got wider. Most of their regular troops are still driving around (breaking down) in Cold War gear.

Another decent Twitter feed atm

See this is the real elephant in the room.
Like the leaders they offer kind words and meaningless support to the Ukraine. They’ve watched Russia build its army on the border. They’ve watched him invade, they watched him slaughter civilians.

Truth is, and nobody will say it they don’t give a ferk as the other option doesn’t appeal to them.

The Ukraine have begged to be part of nato and the eu. But refused. Why? Because they knew it may come to this.
Moving troops away from the action. The talk of the end of the world.

If Russia succeed in their invasion where does that leave the rest of us.

Where does it leave Taiwan? Japan? South Korea? Other Eastern Europeans? And every other country lorded over by nuclear states?

I just want to know what are we waiting for?

Back down or similar. They clearly have underestimated the fight and don’t have sufficient logistics for a long war. And the longer it goes, the worse shape their own economy will be in.

It’s a bad solution. It’s also better than nuclear winter.

Don’t think he will
Back down like, he’s too far in I’d love him to but he’s mental and lost the plot. Could go on a long time this.
