Putin probably has a list of generals, officers and advisors that he intends to punish or even execute for "cowardice" after his humiliation so far in Ukraine, it's what his hero Joe Stalin used to do. Some of them may be contemplating how to avoid this fate, so hopefully the knives are being sharpened.
Would love for it to happen. The man who does it, if they have support would go down a hero. Took out a war criminal and had the west sanctions reversed.
 
I thought this when I saw the map of the parts they have got so far. They are making progress, maybe not as fast as they hoped but they are definitely closing in.
And how many Russians will die in tjis fight
20 thousand ?
50k ?
Possibly more as they get drawn into street fighting with 10 million Ukranian fighters - men , women , boys , outsiders who are arriving from many differing places

There is a groundswell of unrest in Russia - from the young , from the rich , and from the middle class who fear another iron curtain.

Putin isn't getting out If This one alive I think

A monumental miscalculation

But yes we coukd see a lot of dead ukranians before this is done
 
Obviously the nuclear threat is a bit of a concern but I’m interested in who is really worried demographic wise. I’m wondering if growing up in 70’s and 80’s with a much more obvious Cold War than we’ve seen for a long time, films like war games, threads and when the wind blows and the whole escalation of arms race, Star Wars programme and so on has meant I’m much more relaxed about it than people only a few years younger who have mostly grown up post glasnost/ fall of Berlin Wall.
 
Substantial difference between doing something where basically nobody else in a position of strength is impacted and something while could end Human Civilization and raise the ire of powerful enemies.

I could make chips for tea
I could also go out and stab someone

The fact that I do one thing that is to my benefit and won't affect anyone else dosen't mean I'm going to literally just do anything else.
Yeah but we’re clearly talking about a mad man here. He’s already said if Russia can’t exist then we can’t allow the world to exist.
 
Russia is a big country and the yanks aren’t all in Scotland 🤷🏼‍♂️
trident range is (according to wiki) 7600km to 12500km depending on load

at full load that puts just about everything in Russia in range of the west coast of Scotland

everywhere in Russia is within 10000km of either coast of America (so a medium load)

SSBN's dont need to leave home port to wreck everything, they only choose to because its our doctrine to hide out somewhere safe, and Russian doctrine to hide out in their bastions in the Barents or Kara Seas
