It's always weird for me to hear people like Krystal and Saagar talk about this with the view that America (and more specifically THEY) have something to lose should a nuclear war break out. Don't get me wrong, I don't WANT to die, but as someone who doesn't have much to lose, I'm also not afraid to die either. Housing prices are out of control, "greedflation" is making basic living expenses out of reach, corporate greed is running rampant without anyone in government standing up to them because 90% of the government is corrupt and subservient to those corporations. So as someone who will likely never own a home, or have much of a future to look forward to. Nuclear war is honestly I GIANT shrug of the shoulders for me. The people who stand to lose most from nuclear war, are the leeches of the working class. Change doesn't seem possible by normal means, maybe, IF our species survives a nuclear exchange, things will finally change for the better.
Moving TACTICAL nukes to Belarus makes no strategic sense. The war front is in SOUTHERN Ukraine, not along the northern border. If Russia was truly serious about using those nukes in its Ukraine conflict it would have moved them into the Donbas, not Belarus. That suggests that what Putin is REALLY doing is trolling the West.
This angle should be lowered slightly I think! Will make the hosts appear more confident and assertive (in line with the side angles which are much better)
Of course they are why wouldn't they ? Once again America sticking it's nose it others business on the other side of the world why it's own country falls apart from within lol
This drill was announced here in Germany three years ago.
You guys really are out of your depths here.
I can't wait until Russia uses a nuke so I can see Krystal and Saagar justifying it
The drill was planned nearly a year ago – is Saagar is a fool, or an asset?
If a tactical nuke is actually deployed in this conflict, it will come via a briefcase. Not a massive payload that looks like it belongs in a Soviet parade😂
This exercise was planned 5 years ago.. It was in response to the annexation of Crimea. Ukraine wasn't factored in when this was planned sorry saagar.
Of course they are more powerful then the first nuclear weapon that the United States deployed against Japan. Yes, there are tactical nukes that could be used possibly without a full scale escalation. If Russia used a tactical nuke on critical infrastructure killing say 3000 Ukrainians (a World Trade Center analog) the Unites States absolutely WOULD NOT launch a full scale strategic nuclear strike against Russia. It most likely would go unanswered, at least in the context of a NATO nuclear weapon response. Could it escalate? Yes. Would it? I think not.
Do we really think that President Biden is up to the task of playing "chicken" with Putin? Our policy has painted Russia into a corner. Russia's only move against hundreds of billions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine, is his tactical nuke capability. Russia can quit and go home, or the US can quit and go home. That's how it is shaping up.
Watching the Biden regime prosecute this war is like watching a monkey play with a hand grenade in a crowded room.
No trepidation at all. The world should afraid of USA/EU/NATO not Russia
Maybe this is why UFO sightings are up, we are on the brink of total destruction…..
Any nuclear missile would immediately be shot down. They know this. The response however would utterly demolish Russia and China – but thanks for your nuke fear mongering – how about y’all start taking Russia to task for their attempt to hold the world hostage instead of innocent nations trying to defend themselves??? Somehow you both allllwwaaaayysss blame the West and innocent nations by saying russias escalations are a RESPONSE to the west . You guys never hold Russia accountable for their atrocities, murder and dismemberment of children and their wholesale destruction of homes and livelihoods. Breaking Points has become a sad state of affairs.
So according to Sagaar and Krystal, countries like Russia and China should be able to threaten nuclear war and be allowed to invade and seize other countries?
Unsure why they gave a few quotes but chose not to give the quote where belarus said they want nukes and asked for the nukes because no one has gone to war with a nuclear power.
Why is it reported only as putin putin putin?
I guess you guys figure that anyone with nuclear weapons should be allowed to do anything they want? N korea should take over S Korea or Japan? Iran should take over any part of the Middle East they want?
They are 100% going to get nuked. US is fueling this war to escalation by supplying everything but troops. This war would have been over long ago. We're about to see the largest slaughter of humans in a single blast than ww2.
This changes nothing strategically except to scaremonger. It matters not if a nuke missile is in siberia, outside Moscow or in Belarus. Nuclear armed subs from all major nuclear powers Russia, USA, UK, France, China roam the oceans. A Russian nuclear armed sub can be in the English Channel, Black Sea or right off Long Island or Miami and unleash its payload.
