The West is shaking, Russian state TV announced which EU countries Russia will nuke first

[athos]

Russian state television showed the countries in Europe that will be hit by nuclear weapons if the war intensifies:

"All it takes is three missiles and British civilization will collapse."

GOOD LUCK.

And how many hits can Russia take when Britain and France shoot back?
Not like they're gonna ask Trump for "permission" first.

More bluster from Putin. He'd prefer to invite them to Moscow and push them out a window. More his style.

Athos is a Russian puppet, who spreads misinformation. Best to just ignore him.

It's like most people have forgot about the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction, or MAD for short. Takes some Russian TV commentator to remind people and even then, some people just dismiss it as "propaganda".

There is virtually zero chance Russia deploys nuclear weapons at any point in time, no matter how bad things get for Putin. The Russian bark, as we have witnessed in Ukraine, is always louder than it's bite. Russia has known since the 1950s that deploying nuclear weapons against any country would result in the complete annihilation of Russia, as we know it. 

The closest the World came to nuclear war, was in 1962, during the Cuban missile crisis, and it was the Russians who backed down, against the United States.

I can imagine Russians thinking how they could hurt Americans. When somebody suggests what about nuking Washington DC. He's told he has misunderstood. They were talking about hurting Americans.😁

UK being in NATO would mean, before those missiles were destroyed by BMD, Russian radars would lite up with thousands of incoming missiles...some landing with in 15 minutes, and continuing through out the day and night....Russia and all it's people would be dead with in 7 to 14 days....Well everyone on the planet would be dead as well....Did Russian Media not tell you that part...go ahead launch your 3 missiles....your going to get back thousands in return....mother Russia will be one big field of radioactive dirt nothing from your culture will survive.......See all it takes is for Russia to launch three missiles to destroy the entire planet..

DUI_Offender,

You (and many others) view the world as it was in 1936 or so.

In these 2010s, our world has changed. The Berlin Wall has fallen.

Unlike Lenin, Putin is not a Communist/Marxist ideologist, fomenting world revolution.

IMHO, Xi and Putin are typical nationalist dictators. Let them be.

Meanwhile back in reality, the real reason for Putin’s empty nuclear threats is that his failing shithole dictatorship is suffering from 8.5% inflation and interest rates that are at 21% and climbing 

 

Russian Ruble Collapses As Putin's Economy in Trouble

Published Nov 27, 2024 at 8:25 AM EST
 

 

The Russian currency, the ruble, has plunged to its lowest rate against the U.S. dollar since the start of Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine as sanctions continue to hurt his country's economy.

After two months of depreciation, the ruble dropped on Tuesday to 107 against the dollar for the first time since March 2022, just after the start of the war that prompted Western-led sanctions, an exodus of companies from Russia and financial turbulence.

The ruble is expected to weaken further with the beginning of the winter holiday season as companies import more goods to meet consumer demand.

"The Russian ruble is weakening significantly as a result of the escalating conflict in Ukraine," Grzegorz Dróżdż, market analyst at Invest.Conotoxia.com, told Newsweek on Tuesday. "The currency's bad condition weakens the country's purchasing power."

Newsweek has contacted Russia's Ministry of Finance for comment.

The freefall follows the U.S. Treasury Department's announcement on November 21 of sanctions on dozens of Russian banks, which had been widely used for international payments.

….

 Last month, inflation was 8.5 percent, more than twice the Russian Central Bank's (CBR) target.

"The CBR is trying to combat inflation and defend the ruble by raising interest rates," he said. "Nevertheless, high interest rates on ruble loans have still failed to attract a wide range of investors."

As part of continuing efforts to dampen down inflation, which is fueled by a labor shortage and high government spending on the military, Russia's Central Bank raised its key interest ratein October to 21 percent—higher than the emergency level at the start of the war.

Analysts have predicted that the interest rate could go even higher when the Central Bank meets in December.
