What are the odds

That Vlad will use a Tac Nuke in Ukraine?
I think if he gets into trouble he might just do that. He cannot afford to lose or even be perceived to be loosing.
I also think he may have a tough fight on his hands.
Joe looked like a clown on TV today, I doubt if he even knows what he is saying these days.

TAK nukes come in all sizes. He may already be sending them by airmail of some sorts.
You are correct but they have a footprint we can detect with our satellites so they would know if any were used. The Russians have taken Chernobyl, I wounder why? Its on the other side of their invasion route from the north and really doesn't have any value other than its radioactive and no one lives there.
Joe IS a clown !
What would seeing the footprint by "satellite" change the outcome of the invasion?
It's my understanding the Ukrainian government severely restricted their citizen's right to own firearms and now want to re-arm them.
Well, they are going to need all the help they can get......and even then I fear it will not be enough to change the outcome.
Well, the Afgans kicked the Russians out after years of fighting. Then they kicked the USA military out after 20 years of fighting. The Afgans had no airforce and their "armor" consisted of machine guns mounted in the bed of small pickup trucks. Early on at least, their land mines were essentially homemade. If Ukraine adopts the same tactics, Russia may have to up the anti a bit, or accept a long war.
Thanks for the cheery thought, Sam. Is he really that kooky?
I seen there government is now offering free guns to the citizens funny,, how that works all of sudden people having guns and possibly using them when your butts on the line
Yeah, hopefully some other democratic countries will take notice.
I could see Putin deploying EMP’s to knock out power without destroying anything & without nuclear fallout.
the EMP would disable every car, truck, train as well as everything that runs on electricity … ie the power grid, all computers … it would be just as devastating as the bombs without bloodshed & destruction.
? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.
I'm not saying this is a bad idea...............BUT, it gives Vlad reason to indiscriminately kill civilians, claiming that they are armed combatants.
I am looking forward to using all of my "survival gear" once he decides to attack us because of sleepy joe.........🙄
Putin will prevail but he is encountering much more resistance than expected. Ukrainians are putting up a stiff fight and you have to admire Zelenski for staying in Kiev and fighting till the end. Wish we had a president with the will and fortitude he has. Putin does not want a former Soviet republic that is trending towards democracy on his door step, he is afraid it will spill over into Russia. It is a personal thing with him I believe because he has already lost some of the Baltic states to Nato . He will have Afgahnistan II on his hands with all the insurgencies and insurrections that will come and eventually in time (probably several years) the Ukranian people will win.
Game has changed...NATO is sending in 40k soldiers, and equipment to Poland Border . IF Putin decides to use a Nuke on anybody he will have them coming in Russia from all directions. China has also put him in a bad way no loaning him any more money.
You are right kimberkid, a single EMP would bring Ukraine to a standstill.
EMP won't affect the guns.

Now that the invasion is stalling the Russians are talking about using thermobaric weapons. I also read that the Russians are still around chernobyl and the rad meters are going up???????? Makes you wonder.
Most military equipment is hardened against EMP.
I just read that Pooty is now warning Sweden and Finland that there will be consequences should they try to join NATO.
None of this is gonna end well...
Sweden and Finland would be a tough nut to crack.
I wonder if Putin is after the depleted uranium at Chernoble to use in his weapons.
Joe
Putin just went on high alert nuclear
