The way Putin and Russia have been talking recently is very concerning. Im actually shocked there is not more concern and pushes for peace. We are dealing with a sick, mentally unstable leader who is unlikely to survive the end of the war who knows what he will do

It's fascinating to see the range of concerns expressed here, and it's true that the current situation raises eyebrows and sparks worry.

I mean, let's face it, Putin's words and actions have a way of leaving us scratching our heads. It's like we're dealing with a character straight out of a thriller moviean unpredictable leader whose next move is anyone's guess. The uncertainty surrounding his intentions can be downright unsettling.

But you know what? Global politics is a convoluted maze, my friends. It's a meandering journey through the intricacies of international relations, where peace seems elusive and decisive actions are often elusive. We can't expect simple resolutions or overnight transformations in such complex scenarios.

Trying to decipher the mind of a leader, especially one operating in the realm of war politics, is like attempting to navigate a mind-boggling puzzle with missing pieces. It's a futile endeavor, my friends. We can only make educated guesses and hold onto our concerns while recognizing the limits of our understanding.

the Russian defense minister has said that Russia would only use nukes if its heartland is invaded

most of the Russian leadership doesn't want to use nuclear weapons. It's only Putin and a handful that talk salty about nukes

most world leaders don't want to expand the war in Ukraine beyond Ukraine. The same thing happened in Korea. The Korean war had an armistice because most people involved didn't want to expand the war beyond Korea

New sitcom idea: Duncan and dragon in a bunker waiting for nuclear war talking about how close it is
Chat GPT gave me a theme song:

Verse 1:
Duncan and Dragon, in their bunker so deep
Nuclear war's got them losing sleep
Stocked up on canned goods and bottled water
But they're missing out on all the laughter

Chorus:
Duncan and Dragon, living underground
While life as normal goes on all around
They're scared of the bomb and radiation
But missing out on all the fun in the nation

Verse 2:
They've got their gas masks and radiation suits
But they're missing out on all the new recruits
Their bunker's safe, but it's oh so dull
While the world outside is never dull

Chorus:
Duncan and Dragon, living underground
While life as normal goes on all around
They're scared of the bomb and radiation
But missing out on all the fun in the nation

Bridge:
Duncan and Dragon, it's time to come out
The world's not as bad as you thought, no doubt
There's sunshine and rain and laughter too
So come on out and enjoy the view

Chorus:
Duncan and Dragon, living above ground
No more fear and no more underground
They're out in the world, enjoying the sun
And having fun with everyone!

He's clearly of the ilk that believes Russia has a monopoly on the right to self-defence, and the worst crime you can commit is resistance to Russian aggression.

Biden says threat of Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is 'real'

"When I was out here about two years ago saying I worried about the Colorado river drying up, everybody looked at me like I was crazy," Biden told a group of donors in California on Monday.
"They looked at me like when I said I worry about Putin using tactical nuclear weapons. It's real," Biden said.

calm down.

I've hashed this out before on CE:

there is 100% no way the US military doesn't have a working missile defense system.

essentially we've spent too much money on the military, it's been a goal since the 80s, and it's possible with modern AI-tech. logically it's like the 1st technology anyone would ever want.

if I had to guess what this "system" looked like I wouldn't know where to begin. Likely it's a drone network that literally just fly around the stratosphere looking for missiles and if they see one they shoot it down

I most definitely think nuclear war is going to happen eventually. I don't know about "soon" though. I think things will get a lot worse before we reach that point.

Also, there's a difference between having a rational fear about nuclear war and being Duncan.

Your reputation, which you've earned, is one that resulted in no one being respectful towards you and taking you seriously.

Again, that's 100% on you.

If this bothers you, you can close this account and start a fresh one.

How much do you think Putin's health plays into this? Deteriorating physical and mental health of dictators don't tend to go over well.

of course the danger is there, but since you literally can't reason with people like Putin, any kind of peace deal will only be ignored, and it wouldn't be long until he starts threatening again while being in a better position than before.
