The news in the UK suggests our Foreign Secretary is responsible for upsetting the Kremlin and the nuclear comments made by Putin.Yeah obviously they have the capacity to completely level the city and everything in sight but the fact that they've not been willing to go to that lengths gives me slight glimmer of hope that there is a way out of this, and that those nuke threates are not genuine.
Hope you're right but I have a bad feeling this is exactly what will happen. I don't believe the US (NATO) will enter a confrontation.It could be very risky to do that. NATO will not allow them to do so, now that there is an open talk of Ukraine potentially joining EU. So, if Putin goes all out it is either direct involvement of other armies in the conflict or even more severe sanctions that would paralyze Russia altogether. Grozny was very very bad, but it was still inside of Russia, while Ukraine has been a sovereign state and has already substantial amount of its territory occupied by Putler's army.
The threatening of nukes is Putin's only available tool to scare the countries he can't bomb. He wants to scare all of us into not helping Ukraine.Yeah obviously they have the capacity to completely level the city and everything in sight but the fact that they've not been willing to go to that lengths gives me slight glimmer of hope that there is a way out of this, and that those nuke threates are not genuine.
You miss the point thoughIt's the Russian men and women national football team's fault, all of it.
Those flags are hugely irritating, I don't know how you have the patience to see past that.Tweet

Liz Truss is, like most of the Cabinet, utterly incompetent and should never be anywhere near a great office of State, but even so blaming her is laughable.The news in the UK suggests our Foreign Secretary is responsible for upsetting the Kremlin and the nuclear comments made by Putin.
Twitter has a text limit. They are useful in that regard to save characters. God bless you for focussing on the real issues though!Those flags are hugely irritating, I don't know how you have the patience to see past that.
I stumbled upon one of his videos a few months ago. the guy is an absolute clown.
I thought so myself. I’m not a fan of the current government and it’s individuals however I must admit the PM has spoken better than other European leaders and has taken action must sooner.Liz Truss is, like most of the Cabinet, utterly incompetent and should never be anywhere near a great office of State, but even so blaming her is laughable.
Missile silos are always staffed by all that have them, regardless of alert status. In that sense they're always alert. The real changes of heightened alert status (and these are all just possibilities, have no idea which the Russians would actually undertake for each level): readying additional silos with missiles that were maybe down for maintenance, putting more missile submarines to sea, more personnel at bomber bases having to be at base. For the US the higher levels probably include bombers starting to do patrols around the clock.BTW it's bollocks when they say that their nuke operators have been put at high alert. Just listened to an interview with a Polish military expert and those forces have been at high alert for every single minute of the last 60 years.

I'm with you, my brain doesn't get on well with it at all and I have to rewind and read again.Those flags are hugely irritating, I don't know how you have the patience to see past that.

That's an explanation, thank you, although it still irritatesTwitter has a text limit. They are useful in that regard to save characters. God bless you for focussing on the real issues though!
Stealing Russian public funds and Palestinian land is not frowned upon. Most of us simply don't care.Sure he is.
Became rich in a very shady way. No one cared.
Financed illegal jewish settlings in the West Bank. No one cared.
Now when he finally seems to be on the right side is when people start calling him out? That's ridiculous.
To be honest, it is not limited to the Tory party and Chelsea fans. Most of the establishment in England has been quite friendly to the Russian oligarchs. And to the dirty money in general. It was a big mistake and a strategic error as established by Navalny.Substitute "no one" with "Tory party and Chelski fans" please.
They would have been at high alert since the minute operation started anyway. This likely meant nothing in practical terms.Missile silos are always staffed by all that have them, regardless of alert status. In that sense they're always alert. The real changes of heightened alert status (and these are all just possibilities, have no idea which the Russians would actually undertake for each level): readying additional silos with missiles that were maybe down for maintenance, putting more missile submarines to sea, more personnel at bomber bases having to be at base. For the US the higher levels probably include bombers starting to do patrols around the clock.
These real world actions are the meaningful part of raising alert levels, but they come at a cost in terms of equipment and personnel readiness, so they can't be kept up indefinitely. Eventually all of the equipment needs maintenance, and the personnel needs rest.
Just bookmark those comments for the inevitable war that is started because someone used the wrong flag on twitter.That's an explanation, thank you, although it still irritates
Exactly. Or what is the point of having them if not to pose a credible threat.BTW it's bollocks when they say that their nuke operators have been put at high alert. Just listened to an interview with a Polish military expert and those forces have been at high alert for every single minute of the last 60 years.
Starts out by comparing Ukraine to Don Corleone and says Russians would never ever hurt civilians.I stumbled upon one of his videos a few months ago. the guy is an absolute clown.
Are they attacking Donetsk though? Or BS?Tweet

It’s state controlledIs RT a direct propoganda line from the Kremlin or is it like the Daily Mail/Fox News spinning whatever direction they think the government is going in?
There's no evidence to suggest they are.Are they attacking Donetsk though? Or BS?
There's 200k invasion force in their country, I think all they're thinking about right now is defence.Are they attacking Donetsk though? Or BS?
With lots of western journalists working for them right? They should all be named and shamed if you ask me.It’s state controlled
Interesting clown?I stumbled upon one of his videos a few months ago. the guy is an absolute clown.
Welcome to european Zimbabwe. A trillion rubles for a cup of polonium tea.Right now, Russian rubel is becoming joke. Putin has made some big mistakes about his plans cause a lot of troubles to Russia especially economics. In the future, Russian rubel will have a value as much as blank paper. I feel like Russia must uses a lot of gold reserves future.
