You forgot the only rogue nation to actually drop nuclear bombs....TWICE

threats are bad, what's million times worse is the actual deed.
Just ask the Japanese.

Oh please. You left out US plenty of times. US issued a first use nuke threat to USSR over China and Cuba.

And please show me where Russia threatened first use nuke threat.

Why India will not abandon Russia:

Why India will never turn its back on Russia

Russia has helped India build the strategic platforms that guard its survival. It offers weapons no other country does.

That piece of shit...

Funny, isn't it?

> Russia is losing, they are fleeing
> b-but they have time to dig mass graves before they go

Every single "mass grave" is coincidentally found several days after Hohols have control of an area, lol. Basically, they get there and genocide civilians for not fighting the "russian occupiers".

I heard there are mass graves of two hundred thousand civilians in Kosovo, too. The bullshit excuse the Great Satan used to bomb Serbia.

Amusing how people can believe these lies after the laughable Bucha hoax was debunked so bad.

Nuclear warning to Sadam during First Gulf War as well.

Oh man, this is hilarious

Time for a history lesson on the most reckless and irresponsible nuclear power in the world: The Great Satan.

Did you know the Great Satan has built nearly 70,000 nuclear weapons since 1945? Did you know the U.S. Air Force lost a B-52 and two hydrogen bombs in an accident over North Carolina in 1961, and that one of those H-bombs was a single safety-switch away from exploding with a blast equivalent to three or four million tons of TNT (roughly 200 Hiroshima-type bombs)?

Did you know a U.S. nuclear missile exploded in its silo in Arkansas in 1980, throwing its thermonuclear warhead into the countryside?

During the silo accident, the Strategic Air Command (SAC) general in charge of nuclear missiles was a pilot with no experience in missiles. His order to activate a venting fan during a fuel leak led to the explosion that destroyed the missile and killed an airman. (Experts from Martin Marietta, the military contractor that built the Titan II missile, advised against such action.)

Airmen who courageously tried against long odds to mitigate the accident, and who were wounded in the explosion, were subsequently punished by the Air Force.

The Air Force refused to provide timely and reliable knowledge to local law enforcement as well as to the Arkansas governor (then Bill Clinton) and senators. Even Vice President Walter Mondale was denied a full and honest accounting of the accident.
Nuclear safety experts concluded that “luck” played a role in the fact that the Titan’s warhead didn’t explode.

It was ejected from the silo without its power source, but if that power source had accompanied the warhead as it flew out of the silo, an explosion equivalent to two or three megatons could conceivably have happened.

Finally, the number of accidents involving U.S. nuclear weapons is far greater than the military has previously reported. Indeed, even the nation’s foremost expert in nuclear weapons development was not privy to all the data from these accidents.

In short, the Great Satan has been very fortunate not to have nuked itself with multiple hydrogen bombs over the last 70 years. Talking today of a threat from North Korea pales in comparison to the threat posed to the Great Satan by its own nuclear weapons programs and their hair-raising record of serious accidents and safety violations.

Despite this record, Obama and even Trump had asked for nearly a trillion dollars over the next generation to modernize and improve U.S. nuclear forces. Talk about rewarding failure!

Threatening genocidal murder is what passes for “deterrence,” then and now. This madness will continue as long as people acquiesce to the idea the Great Satan knows best and can be trusted with nuclear weapons that can destroy vast areas of their own country, along with most of the world.

Luck has played a significant role in the fact that The Great Satan hasn’t yet nuked itself. (Of course, they performed a lot of above-ground nuclear testing in places like Nevada, making them “no-go” places to this day due to radiation.)

And for the icing on the cake:

A nuclear test was contemplated on or near the moon as a way of showcasing American might during the Cold War. As the New York Times reported, “Dr. [Leonard] Reiffel revealed that the Air Force had been interested in staging a surprise lunar explosion, and that its goal was propaganda.

‘The foremost intent was to impress the world with the prowess of the United States.’ It was a P.R. device, without question, in the minds of the people from the Air Force.”

Dr. Reiffel further noted that, “The cost to science of destroying the pristine lunar environment did not seem of concern to our sponsors [the U.S. military] — but it certainly was to us, as I made clear at the time.”

The Great Satan's military wasn’t just content to pollute the earth with nuclear radiation: they wanted to pollute space and the moon as well. All in the name of “deterrence.”

Who are the rogue nuclear countries again?

 

[DumbPilot]

No doubt UAV's and missiles have shone brightly in this war.
Tanks have become pretty much useless.
Aircrafts have their place but it's really easy to envision UAV's completely replacing traditional Aircrafts.

But, this is all possible due to terrain and the nature of war.
I guess this would be how nest India - Pakistan war would play out.
India - China war though would not go down like this. The mountains and distance and enormous land masses would mean a traditional war + new tactics will need to be applied.

The only reason you're seeing a mass of drones and not aircrafts is because both air forces don't know how to deal with an environment like this. Air power from fighters and bombers is not something that can be replaced by drones.

For your opinion on tanks, it is like arguing that soldiers are now useless because they get killed by a bullet. Everything has its place, and drones and UAVs are there to complement these already existing machines, not replace them

The US is the only country to have actually used 'nuculur' weapons, that too on civilian targets. Not one but two, separate ones.

 

[Rajpal s]

looks like Russian sanctions are breaking the EU???

I pray to the almighty that these europian subhumans from Germany,uk ,Italy and other similar enemies of Bharat burn in hell,my blood get boiled evry time I see the dead bodies of our soldiers fighting on border or loc because these europian subhumans are responsible for promoting unrest and terrorism against India .

 

[Tiwariji]

Learnt a new term " dragon teeth formation " . Pyramid Structures to stop advance of tanks . Used in ww1 and ww2 .

Russia doing this

Supposed to look this ( nt related to this war )

 

[Blademaster]

Nuclear warning to Sadam during First Gulf War as well.

And I forgot about Margaret Thatcher's nuclear threat to Argentina if Argentina sank Britain's aircraft carrier.

People in the US have made serious nuclear threats if an aircraft carrier was sunk even though it is a valid military target.

 

[Trial By Fire]

Global supply chains, whether they produce military or civilian goods, are facing a Minsky Moment – an actual Minsky Moment. The term refers to the implosion of the long-intermediation chains of the shadow banking system that marked the onset of the Great Financial Crisis. Today, we are witnessing the implosion of the long-intermediation chains of the globalized world order: masks, baby formula, chips, missiles, and artillery shells, for now.

The triggers aren’t a lack of liquidity and capital in the banking and shadow banking systems, but a lack of inventory and protection in the globalized production system, in which the West designs at home and manages from home, but sources, produces, and ships everything from abroad, where commodities, factories, and fleets of ships are dominated by states – Russia and China – that are in conflict with the West.

Inventory for supply chains is what liquidity is for banks. In 2007-08, big banks ran on “just-in-time” liquidity: the dominant form of liquidity was market liquidity, for which you could always sell assets into a deep market without moving prices, so you did not have to have liquidity reserves at the central bank. Similarly, big corporations today run “just-in-time” supply chains for which they assume that they can always source what they need without moving the price.

But not really: the U.S. military has to wait a little bit as Raytheon “will take a little while”; Taiwan and Saudi Arabia have to wait as well until the conflict in Ukraine is over; and if your washing machine broke recently, you’ll have to wait a bit too until defense contractors are done buying them up to rip chips out to make missiles.

We’re borrowing from “here” to make things “there”. Hedge units can cover their payments from their incomes. Speculative units have to borrow to be able to make payments. And Ponzi units can make their payments only if they sell some of their assets and are thus the most exposed to rising interest rates.

As the chip examples demonstrate, Minsky would classify the military supply chains as “speculative” units at best, which are exposed to a further escalation of geopolitical tensions that could easily turn them into Ponzi supply chains. We can also apply Minsky’s framework in Europe, where Germany can’t cover its payments without Russian gas and the government is asking citizens to conserve energy to leave more for industry.

Protection by Pax Americana for global supply chains is what capital is for banks. In 2007-08, big banks didn’t have enough capital to deal with systemic events, because they were Too Big to Fail. The assumption was that the state will bail them out. The state did provide a bailout, but at a cost, which was Basel III.

Today, the assumption among investors is that globalization is Too Big to Fail but globalization is not a bank in need of a bailout. It’s in need of a hegemon to maintain order. The systemic event is someone challenging the hegemon, and today, Russia, China and various countries are challenging the U.S. hegemon.

For the current world order and its trade arrangements and network of global supply chains to survive the challenge, the challenge must be squashed quickly and decisively, in the spirit of the Powell Doctrine. Unfortunately for the West, Ukraine and Taiwan aren’t Kuwait, Russia and China aren’t Iraq, and Top Gun 2 isn’t the same movie as Top Gun.
