I remember once the UK Prime minister Theresa May was asked, "Would you be willing to use Nuclear weapons if required?" or words to that effect. Im paraphrasing. And she quickly and without hesitation said "Yes" next question please. And the media went nuts. She did exactly the right thing. Its not what your actually going to do thats important, its what the enemy thinks you're going to do. You think twice when you have the leader of a country publically saying they're willing to use nukes. So yea, good move Biden.

Honestly, I think Biden keeping it short and simple with 'Don't.' was more effective than if he went into detail about what the US would do. His answer was short and simple, you can't analyse it further than its actual meaning or find flaws in it. So overall yeah, I think his response was good

Agreed, he does not need to sabre rattle. Putins little propaganda speech was there for brainwashed Russian nationalists and to try and scare civilians around the world.

@@davespanksalot8413 oh it certianly was a entertaining night. Drank a couple cases of beer then tried to shoot the empties. Sensibly we used up the grenades before opening the spirits. Might have been under the usual young person's delusion of being invulnerable. But wasn't THAT invulnerable to try throwing hand grenades after most of a bottle of vodka. Though aparantly do still remember how a AK Works when intoxicated. Though the folding stock did end up getting broken when we tried to unfold the butt plate and it wouldn't unfold so whacked it against the tree and cracked one of the struts. Bit of duct tape held it together well enough for the evening before eventually getting tossed in a lake. Cos yeah wasn't gonna risk bringing that back home with me. Though funnily enough did get offered a bakail traumatic pistol. And when I turned that down was offered a kedr machine pistol to take home as a 'souvineer' don't think the guy who sold us that stuff either knew about UK firearm Import law. Or more likely he gave precisely zero fcuks. could have probably verified that by the guy rummaging through a crate of hand grenades with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Whilst the chance of blowing everything up by smoking is small. Did make me a little nervous. But my Russian friend who was ex army told me to stop being 'such large girl' and stop worrying about it, but felt a lot safer after we left. Even with a crate of cold war grenades in the boot. Least that way no one was smoking over them whilst packing them into a carrying crate.

"He looks like Dobby the Neo-Nazi" is honestly so accurate, imo. XD I would say "you can take a man out of a twat but you can't take the twat out of a man", but maybe that's just me.

Aaaaaaand just a few hours ago (Saturday), after annexing Donetsk on Friday, Lyman was captured by Ukraine with the Russian troops retreating. I'd think that if nukes were to be used, some time now would be the moment. This is massive for the Ukrainian counteroffensive steaming ahead.

After 19 years since the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, has the West forgotten this war? The Iraq war is said to have resulted in 1 million deaths the difference is russia have weapons of mass destruction A message to the future generations never make russia feel threatened the difference between "looking dangerous" and "being dangerous".Russia describes military doctrine as defensive military doctrine. With regard to nuclear weapons specifically, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons: in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies,in case of aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is threatened How do Russian nuclear weapons compare to the rest of the world?
