This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

I'm getting to the point that we are pussies about a no fly zone. Russia has no right to be in a soverign country. It is not like we would be attacking Russia soil.

Everyone thought Stalin was crazy and he never nuked us. Everyone thought Kruschev was crazy, and he didn't nuke us. And on...and on... and on.

**** Russia, they have no right to say who, and who cannot support Ukraine.
They call it RUSSIAN roulette for a reason friend.

We’ve had three *clicks* already. You really want another spin?
 
Now Monaco, how many enclaves are left?

"Monaco, a small city-state on the French Riviera that is often decried as a tax haven for the wealthy, said it would freeze assets and impose economic sanctions on certain Russians in response to the war in Ukraine. The office of Prince Albert II of Monaco said in a statement that Monaco would quickly “adopt and implement” measures that are “identical to those taken by most European states.”"
Doubtful.
 
But the Ukrainians know that the Russians know they know the Urkanians know.

The weird thing about this about this to me is that we are basically being very open that we have an inside source and we are concerned about letting Putin know we have a source. Or they are bullshitting.
If you think about it, the description of his behavior is pretty generic, and could just be a fairly good guess of how a typical cold war Russian male would react if they thought their perfect plan was going a bit sideways.

That or we have inside sources. Could be both.
 
I could go for some Hardees or Long Johns right now. Been over a decade. I need to remind myself why it has been 10 years. Hence....I'll settle for a frozen pizza probably or a can of soup. I've got to keep this discussion going until we get to one-fiddy
Don't eat that shit. That shit will blow up your toilet more than the Ukraine blows up Russian tanks.

A no fly zone by NATO would be viewed as a declaration of war against Russia to be blunt. If you're prepared for nuclear war then let's do it because I'm convinced Putin is that unhinged. Are you prepared for nuclear war?

Overall it seems like we have had pretty good intelligence from the beginning.

Agree. Those that say it is foolish are not seeing the bigger picture. If you acquiesce and allow him to take over or devastate Ukraine because he has nukes you simply can never win. Putin will just always play the nuke card and we cannot stop him. Unless you are willing to punch a bully in the mouth they will always resort to bully tactics.

It is highly illogical for anyone in Russia to launch nukes over Ukraine. Russians love their kids, most are peace loving, they like pizza, ice cream and McDonalds for goodness sake. And anyone turning the launch key would know they are literally ending life on earth. They are not that crazy.

The threats are existential yes, but very hollow.
 
You guys ever seen a A-10 from up close do its thing? As much as I love the sechs, that right there is a rekshun. She's designed for one thing only. Decimating armor. Seeing that and his wingman fly and having a harrier jump set essentially levitate at my nose height are memories that I will take with me forever. Ahh I can still smell the jet fuel. The A-10 used to come to the now canceled/deceased qca air show. It was a great time.
One of my wife's best friends was married to an A-10 pilot. She followed him around the world to his postings and was the model military wife as he rose to the ran of major and she ran the household, and gave some mothering to younger wives. She forgot to monitor his Facebook history, and missed him hooking up with a high school girlfriend and dumping her after 20 years.
I did talk to him in a low key way one time after one of his tours in Afghanistan about what it was like. I was respectful of the fact that what he did killed people. He couldn't stop bragging about the abilities of the plan, and how soldiers would randomly thank him after they'd called in air support. They had no idea if it was him or not, but they loved it when he, or one of his squadron mates, came in to obliterate a Taliban position.

Really kind of buried the lede on that one.

Russians do yes, but we aren't talking about your everyday citizen. We're talking about a madman that I'm convinced has lost it mentally.

As I understand it he cannot just launch them himself. He needs the generals, the soldiers, he has a security detail, etc. Why would any of them be like “f*ck it lets end the world because Putin said so”?

Much more likely Putin eats a bullet from his own people in this event.
