Given Germany damaged and destroyed at the very least 1.1 million houses in London during The Blitzkrieg and the advance in the eight decades in military technology; what are the Russian capabilities to level Kyiv and other major cities in Ukraine using non-nuclear means?
Have the NATO countries bolstered Ukraine's air defence to the point the costs outweigh the nuclear solution risks to Russian citizens and ethnic Russians? How about the risk of US declaring a no-fly zone?
@Tfmonkey
So then a better question would be how much of "nuclear winter" propaganda was exaggerated to placate the masses from the terror of The Cold War? As terror management to make a first strike from USSR/USA unthinkable.
@apopheniac Russia has enough nukes to kill every man, woman, and child on Earth.
Sleep tight.
@Tfmonkey
That's terror.
Choose a cope.
@apopheniac I'm going to assume that we won't nuke eachother and carry on accordingly.
If we nuke eachother, then there isn't anything left to worry about.
@apopheniac None of that matters. Ukraine is a proxy war between the US and Russia. The US won't allow the conflict to end, they want to keep Russia bogged down in Ukraine for as long as possible to prevent Russia from partnering with China during a future conflict. It's all in the RAND papers, which Russia knows about and Putin even commented on in a speech recently.
The boomer's final "fuck you" to the world after spending all the money will be to cause a global nuclear holocaust.
