Re: NATO & World War 3
Just wondering what your thoughts are on the latest News that was Broadcast from Putin, and saying the he would use Nuclear Weaponry if needed!
He also said that he is not bluffing! This i can believe!
The Man is Mad , and would not hesitate to carry out his threats!
As i had said earlier in this Thread, i do feel in a way that there is a strong possibility of a Third World War, not just the Fight between Russia and Ukraine! ??
Heaven help us all.
But is there still hope! With the USA also saying that it will hit Russia really hard, if it does resort to Nuclear Strikes!
End of Lads!
Cheers

Re: NATO & World War 3
Putin I do not think has the ability to launch a nuclear strike. Like the USA and for that matter the UK there will be a line of command to order a nuclear strike. I hope I am right as I do not think those in the power in Russia are foolish enough to follow through that chain of command on the orders of a mad man. Yes Putin will in a way cause a nuclear disaster. Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station will be attacked and cause the nuclear catastrophie Putin seems to crave. He will blame the Ukraine for that saying they targeted the plant to win more support from the west.
Putin says he is going to deploy 300,000 reservists good luck with that. If what is being reported by western media the Ukrainian forces have the Russians in certain areas on the run. One would hope the Reservists tell Putin and the generals to bugger off and refuse to fight..
If Putin does go nuclear, well sadly the west have to strike back. Easy for the likes of me to say seeing as like a lot of us are running low on bunkers and have had our lives. Putin has to be stopped and removed I feel sorry for those with children and grand children but people like Putin have to be removed.

Re: NATO & World War 3
There have been so many threads on here about Fake News, That I wonder sometimes if people believe them. Zaporizhzhia was supposedly shelled by Russian troops, at the same time that they were announcing that Russian troops were guarding it, to make sure it was safe.

Re: NATO & World War 3
If Russia has problems trying to win a war with Ukraine, he has little chance of winning a war against NATO, if he resorts to nukes, we all lose that one. We have no option but to defeat him, just ask yourselves what would happen if we allowed him to scare us off !!, where would he stop ?. Our best hope is that he will be quietly be disposed of, the Russians are experts at that.

Re: NATO & World War 3
Although agree with most of what you say James, i think that Putin has the Ability if neede!? Not that i want that al all but sure as Heck he has!! But if he does send the Order through, as said it is also possible that the Higher Command may not agree to it so its a waiting game ! ?????

Re: NATO & World War 3
Putin, ex KGB so capable of anything.
On last cruise spoke with a crew member from Ukraine, he was of the opinion Putin wants the land for agricultural purposes as Russia is finding it hard to produce enough to feed all the people. Just his theory.
Russia has according to reports the largest nuclear war chest of all nations.
It has been reported that since he declared yesterday that conscription would begin the demand for flights out of Russia has hit the highest level ever.
USA is on the brink of a recession, in past times when such has occurred they have found a war some where to become involved in.
Creates more work in munition factories and soaks up some unemployed.
How this will play out is any ones guess, it is not so simple as Ukraine V Russia, there are many others involved in a big way behind the scenes.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: NATO & World War 3
Not to sure it is about the size of the war chest, think it might be the quality of the war chest and the means of delivery of nuclear war heads.
Russian generals will not allow Putin to use nuclear weapons, he will be bumped before then. The generals are realists (hopefully) and must realise no one will win a nuclear war.
Biggest threat to life on the planet have to be the head bangers in the middle east!!!
