What's stopping Putin from using the nuclear option? The entire world is trying to burn their economy to the ground to teach him a lesson, but nobody is expecting Russia to retaliate with equal force.
Economic sanctions are a green light for using nuclear arsenal when you are the victim.
Putin wouldnt be going around pressing all the buttons. His people will go "hey wait thats fucking retarded and my family is going to be vaporized lets just keep being rich as fuck instead". Its a deterrence because nobody is ever going to first
Aiden Jenkins
I imagine his military or cabinet would put a bullet in his head if it meant saving their families from nuclear fallout
Xavier Clark
They're actually going pretty easy on the sanctions for this exact reason. Swift is a big deal and surprised me for sure, but I believe they bargained with pootin behind closed doors and he accepted it would happen. That's the truth in this world is the big nuclear boys are the only ones who aren't pawns to be thrown around and sacrificed on the board. Kikes always win.
Putin in January said any economic banning would be seen as act of war. Banning is wrong word .I is tried
Carson Perez
Nuclear option will be used guaranteed to usher in the new world order. You can't cover the vaxx bullshit any other way. All deaths will be lumped in as a casualty of nuclear war
Brody King
He would make the necessary arrangements first so that nobody can interfere with his final decision. Russia is about to become a broken country forever, you really think Putin isn't gonna do anything about it? Do you picture him apologizing for anything, ever?
Leo Rodriguez
i think russians r poor on avg
Jaxson Lee
The problem is we don't know to what extent pootin has strengthened his control on that arsenal. It could be that during hightened national security risk times he has to send signals to a computer with a radio set that prevent those nukes from being launched. It's frightening as fuck.
Robert King
because nuclear forces generals would shoot him in the head right away
its not like he is going to light the fuse himself
Caleb Thomas
>cabinet would put a bullet in his head Devotees will follow him to the next life like Hitler followers . Also he picks phone up to nuke site and says fire , They will fire
Noah Richardson
no one talked to russia the bigger deal is central bank asset freezes. they only have gold now. the dollars and euros and yens in the central bank reserves ceased to exist
Brayden Green
>363677096 Poutine is a little bitch that only cares about himself and his legacy
If the world is a pile of ash, there will be no retards left to glorify him
Employing nukes would be a most unsatisfying way to defeat an enemy
Jack Morales
This. It's not some meme nuclear codes BS pootin could easily have some of his utmost loyalists setup a system where a handful of silos are directly wired to a deadmans switch- likely a shortwave transmitter that he sends a code with every hour to a computer that controls a few silos. Or he might have one of his subs set up with ultra loyalist nutjobs raised from birth in his close care and he communicates using a private extremely low frequency transmitter setup. No way this guy hasn't got a ragequit option.
Christian Sanders
He will when his time in the sun sets. Which will be soon
Isaiah Lee
That's just your assumption. There is no reason to believe that if your country is guaranteed to go to shit for the next 10-20 years you should just stay quiet and pretend nothing happened. Like this user said, economic sanctions are an act of war.
Josiah Thomas
The west is fucking terrified of what Russia can do lol.
Caleb Jackson
True. Which is why the US needs to preemptively NUKE MOSCOW
Aaron King
Don't waste good nukes, there's only one man that needs to be eliminated
Ian Russell
The only good news is he has some children. Our lives hang on how much he values theirs.
Bentley Campbell
maybe but also maybe US has some sort of missile defense and maybe by today one or several has arrived to protect mainland europe and maybe after russia has bled out in ukraine for a week the west will unleash all its might at russia
I hope I'm wrong
Nathaniel Taylor
I was kinda looking forward to ww3 if I survived the nuke part. I was going to be a cannibal but covid ruined my plan now that every fucker is vaccinated . Life is weird huh now I hope I die in the fire ball
Nathaniel Scott
Putin's decision was miscalculated and irrational, that fact alone leads me to believe that he's well capable of actually executing a nuclear attack just out of panic, even if it doesn't make sense at all.
Jayden Myers
yeah bro in 2022 we're rigging up dead man switches to nuclear warheads with shortwave fucking radio. good call, super smart
