ICBM Are Falling On My Head

Russian RS-26 Rubezh ICBM delivering conventional MIRVs to the Dnipro region. 

"Putin's Bluffing - hit them with more Storm Shadows and ATACAMs.  GRRR!"

  Got Bunker?  Anyone want to revisit my poll about a nuclear war starting before the end of 2024?

So far, Putin seems to be showing a lot of restraint.  Giving Ukraine and their Western masters every opportunity to come to their senses.

I expected the destination to be Kiev, so it's more a message than a serious attack.

Russian is walking the escalation ladder in a measured manner.  I imagine that hitting Kiev is another couple of steps up the escalator. The next response if the US/UK/France insists on continuing to launch their missiles (Ukraine is not launching them) will probably be a demonstration of more powerful conventional warheads.  If the West keeps pushing, then Russia hits Kiev and destroys the governmental infrastructure. 

This de-escalates by the West standing down on the missile launches.  Not sure they will do that.  And for all the pro-war fan-boys urging the US/UK/France on - if this sh*t continues we all die.  You morons can't grasp that.

Absolute fvcking idiocy.  There arent enough of the missiles to do anything but be irritating. But...they CAN be used to escalate the war, to be an excuse for ever more bloodshed.  Whoever is running the US government is now bordering on criminal by doing this. President Biden forbade it for more than a year, yet suddenly now it is permitted? Utter stupidity, and an obvious attempt to sabotage the incoming Trump administration.

 At this point, it certainly doesn't appear as though there will be any movement towards standing down on the missile launches, especially by France and the UK. The US is definitely involved as well, but their involvement may well have a political component - sabotaging Trump.  So that's some hope. If Putin continues his patience, and if Trump makes it into office, then I can see a deal happening that would end the hostilities.  I'm not sure the US wants to annihilate humanity just because of an Eastern European squabble over Russia's border and NATO membership for Ukraine.  

 

As for all the "pro-war fanboys"? The rank and file of that group have been well and truly brainwashed by years of Western propaganda. And they don't comprehend the results of a nuclear war.  They think Russia and Putin are evil. And they're being told that Putin is "bluffing." Or, what's worse, the entire situation is not even part of what's reported as news.
