Trolls & bots fail to understand or accept that Russia is anything but infinite and inevitable - but numbers are numbers. They’ve spent half of their entire Soviet inheritance to steal what they sit on today. The war doesn’t end when they get to zero vehicles. The half they’ve squandered is surely the BETTER half, and they still need an army for territorial defense and internal repression. Ukraine is not about the break, and this is probably the best position Russia is ever going to be in. This is the endgame of this messy, abusive Divorce, and Pootz has to come up with some whopper lies to say it was all worthwhile.

    Russia has thousands of nukes. No doubt they aren’t in the best shape ever but they don’t need all of them to work. And there’s no way they’d nuke Ukraine. The rest of the world would ostracize them. You’re just wrong.

      Russia has been ostracized.

      I suppose they could get embargoed harder by China and India, but if they nuked Ukraine they might get buked back.

      The US might decide to hold off but the UK or France could put one down.

      I doubt they would nuke a major city, but they might set one off in the country as a “Consequence”

      Have you seen these nukes? Do you believe the russians at face value?
