Hilarious. Looks like Putin is taking a page out of Reagan’s book. Hey, remember that time when the Kremlin was so stupid that they actually believed the Star Wars program was a real thing, and that the U.S. put magical lasers in space? I remember. :lol:

Even if Poseidon was operational (which it isn’t), it would be less destructive than just detonating the same size warhead conventionally. It doesn’t change the strategic balance - pre-existing weapons can achieve the same or better result as it is, an unmanned underwater drone is possibly the least threatening way to deploy a nuclear warhead, not to mention the most easily intercepted. Sarmat, or SATAN-II, has been in development for 13 years with nothing to show for it - Putin only just started threatening to deploy it in the field. Good job trying to scare the west with weapons that aren’t in service or are straight up stupid - we’re so scared.

and the UK has 200 nuclear warheads , imagine just what 1 would do to Moscow or St Petersburg :sad:
Oh man, you’re threatening people with a good time.

Speaking of Russia’s nuclear capabilities…

Oh-oh, spaghetti-oh’s… The noose tightens. Someone in Putin’s immediate circle wanted to send a message, it seems. Vlad’s gonna have to find a new suitcase carrier.

For the record, the Izh 79-9TM is a non-lethal pneumatic pistol. Nobody in their right mind would try to “commit suicide” with one, not unless they were aiming for a long and painful death. Supposedly the guy was drunk, but it sure sounds like a scare tactic to me. Funny that his brother didn’t see a thing either… but what do I know, I’m just a guy on the Internet who knows gas pistols aren’t the ideal weapon to end your own life with.

“For China, Taiwan is essential, that’s why they will burn it to ash with nuclear fire, destroying the very reason why they want it in the first place”
I just want to point out that I didn´t say nuclear war against Taiwan. If the US or other countries get involved, it might turn nuclear. But they would not use nukes on what they regard as their territory - obviously.

The only thing more foolish than invade Ukraine, is to presume that USA will be unharmed in a nuclear war against Russia.

Perhaps 1/6 os US population will be gone within a month, and for eventual allies nearby Russia will be worst. Japan and UK are only the rich ones that everyone remember, but tons that of nations are too poor to you to care about are also at risk.

And don't be fool twice thinking that 1970's nukes don't mass kill 2022 people.

So sexist of Boris to say that. A Putina would have been just as able to launch missiles at supermarkets.*

*Russia claims Western weapons were targeted near the supermarket which caused a fire; none of us is able to confirm or deny this claim but I have a hunch, people who are against Russia will do the latter, people who are for Russia, the former.

Maybe what they meant to say is that their missiles are shit and flew off course?

Can you see a crowded shopping mall being hit in this video?
What does that have to do with anything?

You sound like someone who was caught outside a bank with a bag full of money and a gun, saying "but did you see me steal it?"

A missile hit the shopping center, that is a missile in the vicinity of the shopping center. What more do you want? Why would you doubt it?

Russia has put up so many theories, like there was nobody there & it was staged etc. That is proof enough that THEY think it was their missile that hit the shopping center. Or they wouldn't be trying so hard.

I bet if footage came out showing the shopping center being hit by a russian missile, then you wouldn't want to believe it.

I want to see a rocket hitting that supermarket. In the video I cannot even tell whether there is a supermarket. Can you? Give me the time stamp and where I should look.

Who is "Russia"? The official Russian comment is that they did not hit the supermarket but some weapons close to it. The fire engulfed the supermarket. Claim against claim. Is it reckless? Yes. Is it reckless to store weapons close to a supermarket? Yes. If that is the case. I do not know whether there were weapons and neither do you. Unless you work for the CIA, they probably know.

Now you admit that your original footage did not show it (!)
I bet next time anyone makes any claim against Russia you believe it. Because you want to. I am one of the very few objective observers.
