Current Events > Getting bad. Putin might try nukes. Promotes pro- Nuke General

(+) Yeah! (+)

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, an ally of President Vladimir Putin, said Wednesday he was granted a top rank in Russia's army, just as Moscow's forces suffer a series of defeats in Ukraine.
The 46-year-old Chechen leader -- one of the most outspoken voices in Russia backing Putin's Ukraine offensive -- said it was a "huge honour" for him.
Kadyrov, a former warlord who rules Chechnya with widespread violations of human rights, said Putin had "personally" informed him of the decision.
"The President of Russia awarded me the rank of colonel general," Kadyrov said on Telegram. "This is a promotion for me."
The rank of colonel general is the third highest command rank in the Russian military hierarchy.
Kadyrov's appointment to the rank came as the Ukrainian army pushed back Moscow's forces in areas that the Kremlin proclaimed to be "Russian forever."
The Chechen leader said he would do "everything to end the special military operation quickly" -- using the Kremlin's term for its Ukraine campaign.
Chechen units -- including Kadyrov's own militia with a sinister reputation, the "Kadyrovtsi" -- are fighting alongside regular Russian forces in Ukraine.
Kadyrov has thrown his full backing behind Putin's campaign, regularly calling for the most drastic tactics to be used in Ukraine.
This week he called on Moscow to use low-yield nuclear weapons in Ukraine after Russian troops were forced to retreat from the town of Lyman.

Does Russia operate under a monarchy? Does Putin claim divine right of kings? Does he tell his people they'll go to Hell for all eternity if they disobey him?

There comes a point when you tell the boss to fuck off and find someone else to be in charge.

They HAVE to know that if they use a nuke no matter how small it is, it will mean game over for russia.

The issue though is a lot of those people have ended up tripping out windows recently.

Article says this guy in particular backs Putin's war and wants to use low level nukes.

Will it though? That is the question.

Ukraine is not a member of NATO because the rest of the world wanted to avoid such a situation with Russia to begin with. Now the idea is "oh well, if they use a small nuke then of course we come to assist."

Think he understands the consequences, he's not that stupid.

If Putin is stupid enough to authorize use of any yield nuclear weapon he has to realize that Russia will be made into a smoldering crater, right?

Russia has a killswitch that'll fire all their ballistic missiles and nukes if they get hit. Unless you struck the entire country at once and rendered the launching facilities inoperable at once, you'd not be able to stop them.

And it's not worth risking finding out if it will work.

If we do not, then Russia will nuke any non NATO country they want to conquer.

We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through,
Just like you always do
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

Quite more than Russia would become a smoldering crater.

Well we just need to call George W. Bush in on this one then since he's the one who saw inside his soul.

We dont need another Duncan with the Nuclear WW3 concern trolling.

That would be on Putin.
