A war with Russia would not start with a nuclear exchange.
What are you basing that off of?

Trump would prolly be out there saying Putin has shown “great bravery” and Trump defenders would be trying to spin that**** me, no. Biden's not my guy, but...
Lol. Normal leftist blame shifting
That would have to be unilateral at the international levelSever Russia from the banking system. It's a rubicon kind of action.

this one made my day )
Yes, but more Democrats think we should side with Russia than Republicans. Seems, thankfully, that most people in America think that we should stay out and not get involved in a war.
A war with Russia would not start with a nuclear exchange. And if you’re signaling that you’re not prepared to take that risk then why do we have a nuclear Arsenal and what’s the point of NATO?
never do the CHAMBERLAINWell, according to people around here, we should just let him have what he can take because his nukes are scary.
sooooo true what you saidStudy the Cold War before asking such stupid questions.
Then Putin has already won. Maybe when he invades somebody you care more about, you'll feel differently. Or maybe not.We do have the capacity to. What you don't seem to realize is that we simply aren't willing to burn the world over Ukraine.

You know Zelensky is offering free guns to people who ACTUALLY stand with Ukraine, I’m sure you can book a flight to Warsaw, rent a car, drive to the border, walk across and join territorial defense forces
You are noticing that not a few of us have kin and friends in Ukraine?Then Putin has already won. Maybe when he invades somebody you care more about, you'll feel differently. Or maybe not.
Not even close. This invasion is horrible but it makes sense from a historical Russian point of view. Putin thinks it was weak leadership that lead to the loss of this territory. He believes bad decisions were made and he wants to correct this. He also doesn't like the expansion eastward of NATO. I doubt he has plans to necessarily exterminate people except for those in his way.he is Hitler
Nobody knows the scenarios either side would use to trigger a launch. I think Russia is more likely to deploy tactical nukes on the battlefield and in the water if it’s conventional forces are failing, but I also think people should remember that after all this time and all of these conflicts and wars the United States remains the only country on Earth to detonate a nuclear weapon without regard for civilian casualties.Napoleon,
Can we start by acknowledging that Moscow's threshold for nuke usage is much lower than NATO's and that's just a facts-on-the-ground condition that binds the world?
Newer generations forget the horror of war after a time period of peace has elapsed.
I expect that crippling cyber warfare will be where the US and or Europe mistakingly goes too far. And the US and Russia have the ability to shut down each other's power grids throwing the entire world into chaos.
The Cold War was run by people who were willing to vaporize Russia if they stepped a toe out of line. Not by cowards who are so afraid of Russia’s nuclear Arsenal that they back off their red lines and let Russia run roughshod over Eastern Europe.Study the Cold War before asking such stupid questions.
Let"s separate out that I think Hiroshima and Nagasaki were war crimes.Nobody knows the scenarios either side would use to trigger a launch.

Then if he does that, start knocking out Russian Satellites... I'm sure there is intel on which ones that could be targeted to shut down critical communication and surveillance capabilities.IF Putin goes into NATO territory....****...let us hope he will not...but who knows?

Of course not. But I'm willing to make a gamble that Putin doesn't want that either.So, you want us to enter into a nuclear exchange with Russia? Is that it?
I’m not in agreement that Russia would use them for slight provocations.Let"s separate out that I think Hiroshima and Nagasaki were war crimes.
If we can agree that the Russians will use nukes, for slight provocations, doesn't it follow that NATO has to act like it's true?
