Putin says West risks nuclear war if NATO sends troops to Ukraine
www.france24.com
President Vladimir Putin warned Western countries on Thursday that there was a genuine risk of nuclear war if they sent their own troops to fight in Ukraine, and he said Moscow had the weapons to strike…

Another day, another threat of nuclear retaliation against the West by Putin.

Realistically, if Russia were to launch missiles against European capitals, how long a warning would the inhabitants get? What about North America (USA, Canada)?

Does NATO have the capability of in-flight interception? Or other defense mechanisms?

How deep underground is safe to protect against a modern nuclear blast?

Stay safe y’all.

    The people who would actually launch the missiles would be the same people who told Putin that the Ukraine invasion would be a walk over.

    They where told it wasn’t going to happen, just some postering before going back to normal. They said ‘yes, we could theoretically walk over Ukraine’ believing they wouldn’t have to follow up on that.
    They know dam well there is no theoretically winning a nuclear exchange, meaning they won’t tell their superiors they can do it and no superiors that would believe them if they did.

      Sounds like we basically agree. I think they were happily stealing money to pay for their dachas and harems, any you’re giving them the benefit of the doubt.

      Either way, no one is going to blow up Europe to make an old man happy.
