Russia just ordered deterrence forces (which includes nukes) to be put on high alert.

So, if we thought that this man was bluffing, we are mistaken!

"As you can see, not only do Western countries take unfriendly measures against our country in the economic dimension - I mean the illegal sanctions that everyone knows about very well - but also the top officials of leading NATO countries allow themselves to make aggressive statements with regards to our country," Putin said on state television."

Non nuclear destruction of Kyiv civilian populations is the thing I'm most concerned about. Not sure if the west will respond militarily in that case which would be a devastating loss. Pretty sure if a nuke flies, someones gonna shut their shit down with a quickness.

If Russia sends a nuke into Ukraine its over. For most people on this planet. Russia commands the largest number of nukes at 6500.

Russia cant kill Zelenskyy if they tried, they’d martyr him x 10.000.
“I don't need a ride, I need ammunition!”
- when given given an option to evacuate by the US. In full battle gear too. Its way too late to kill this joker, he is gonna live forever.
I bet he did standup. That line! Brilliant.

I don't know that there would be nuclear retaliation on Russia, but of one thing I'm sure, the pressure to depose Putin would be unabated and successful, probably sooner than later.

From updates at NYTimes:

In New Hampshire, where liquor and wine are sold through state-run stores, Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican, announced on Saturday the removal of “Russian-made and Russian-branded spirits from our liquor and wine outlets until further notice.” In Ohio, where the state contracts with private businesses to sell liquor, Gov. Mike DeWine, also a Republican, announced a halt to state purchases and sales of Russian Standard Vodka.

L. Louise Lucas, a top Democrat in the Virginia State Senate, is calling for “the removal of all Russian vodka and any other Russian products” from Virginia’s nearly 400 state-run Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority stores.

And Senator Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas, wrote on Twitter, “Dump all the Russian vodka and, alongside ammo and missiles, send the empty bottles to Ukraine to use for Molotov cocktails.”

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Canada’s most populated province, announced on Friday that it would remove “all products produced in Russia” from its more than 600 stores. Similar removals were underway in the provinces of Manitoba and Newfoundland, Reuters reported.
Doing the same thing here in Ontario, Canada. The LCBO controls all alcohol here.

This reminds me of Vietnam. They were used to wars, they weren't going to give in to the US on their soil. The Ukrainian resolve to fight to the death no matter how, in any way they can to maintain their sovereignty appears absolute. Russia cannot win this. There's no way for them to prevail.
The Russians are fighting to take territory. The Ukrainians are fighting to keep their land. Which do you think is the most motivated?

This is going to be very nasty very quickly.

The Russian forces inside of Kharkiv were ambushed and seems to be mostly neutralised.


Apparently this was a good buy—completely obliterated Russian forces in Kharkiv, Irpin and Bucha. Can be launched from city streets—no runways needed.

What kind of response?

How to respond to the use of WMD?
A good question, of which there won't be any one answer. Everyone will see it differently.

But a Black Sea graveyard, and physical naval blockade are the first options that come to mind. Maybe even a no fly zone over Ukraine. A further ratcheting of total physical isolation.

If Putin launches nukes this will become an end of the world scenario. Russia has enough weapons to obliterate hundreds of cities around the world. At what point will the Russian military step in and stop this madman?
