I would suppose that depends on what NATO's response is. They could swiftly disable Russia's conventional forces in Ukraine and the Black Sea without creating an existential threat to Moscow, which is what I expect it would take to provoke nuclear warfare.
To disable Russian forces in ukraine youd have (my opinion, truth is probably more complicated and I’m definitely not an expert) probably to invade Russia and encircle the Russian forces. You could also drive the Russian forces through ukraine which would probably be a lot more costly when it comes to losses. Either one might make china compelled to aid Russia in some form or anotehr which wouldn’t be great
Ukraine is on its way to pushing Russia out without even getting close to the bleeding edge of NATO technology. The argument is whether or not NATO would even need boots on the ground to push Russia out. And then the next step of argument is whether the boots on the ground need to be anything but advisory.
You don't need to invade Russian or encircle shit. Send an aircraft carrier, establish air superiority, bomb all positions until the cunts either leave or die. Let Ukraine establish a 25km zone on each side of the border where they wont cross. Dial in the whole border with artillery like the DMZ in Korea.
Putin is rational and realizes he cannot stand against NATO and hope to survive
Putin is not rational
In case of 1, we should make it clear there is no path to victory for him. In the case of 2, it doesn't matter, he's going to go crazy already, the die has already been cast.
I'm past fearing what Putin might do. It's time he starts fearing what we might do if he keeps fucking around. The finding out portion of today's exercise is ready to begin.
Fucking bring it. As an SSBN submariner in the US strategic nuclear navy, please give me a reason to flip that switch. Not a soul in the strategic forces would even hesitate to respond to a valid and authentic EAM.

We should send more ships from NATO countries. If Putin tries anything against them it would put a swift end to this conflict.
Chances are things would go nuclear. That would NOT be good at all

As a certified Internet expert on a shit posting sub, I honestly wonder why they haven't taken the opportunity to declare Ukraine a no-fly zone.
To be fair small low tech drones are harder to watch for compared to large high tech ones that are basically planes.
Not necessarily, it would be easier to detect one of these drones ("Beavers" I think?) than an F-22 or maybe even an F-35.

You say that, but have you seen the Russian economy nowadays?
Good point, a nuclear holocaust can only improve the economy of Russia.
There are only 2 possibilities here:
Putin is rational and realizes he cannot stand against NATO and hope to survive
Putin is not rational

In either case, para bellum.

Does Russia even have working nukes still? They are pretty expensive to upkeep. I think the situation might be pretty funni.
Gleefully hoping for a nuclear escalation is a popular NCD pastime, at least that's how it looks.
Nukes are cringe af. We seek conventional annihilation of the Russian state.
Et tu, Brute?
🥵 Strap me to the missile already!!!
Ok, ok - just for you we'll glass Moscow.
Promise 🥺?
Jeez, now everyone's gonna want to glass a city in Russia.

Will RuSSia attack civilian Ships in International Waters?
Highly likely. They take a lot of unnecessary actions to try to escalate this war.
Not unless they're carrying ammunition like the ones Germany shot in WW1. /S
To be fair the WW1 civilian ships were carrying ammo. Lusitania is the notorious example.
Fucking Germans, won't let even ammo take a vacation.
Yeah good meme, I loved how the ships basically just went around the Russian blockades 😂
Don't do Rigby dirty like that
Try it, assholes. Give us a fucking reason.
I love the Putin "I sharted" expression in the last frame, where did you get that image?
It may be real but possibly generated as well
How do you manage to navigate the world with such poor interpretive skills?
I didn't really see this as defending them so much as observing them.
What? Can you be more verbose about what you are trying to communicate?
