I'll make that bet every day of the year. Russia has threatened us for 70 years and done, nothing.
Because they know they'd lose.
If they really believed they could win, they'd have tried it.
IMO.

Oh he won't back down from Ukraine. His whole existence now depends on it. If he fails, the Oligarchs will have him taken out. They are who rule that country.
But he won't attack the west. Because then the US will respond.

Yep...saw this on scoopz. Probably need the app to watch but it's a great source for the political and "sensitive topics" that Big Brother doesn't control yet.

My prediction is that the next meaningful strike in Russian with US/NATO assisted weapons they will respond by taking out a series of US/NATO assets in the region. He's already made the case and now showed he has the means to do it. We'll see I guess.

The Romans thought they were the greatest military force too. So were the Greeks, for a time. Then they weren't.

Unfortunately, I think you’re right.
I think Putin will hit targets deeper in Ukraine in response, maybe Kiev again? Too bad the Russians didn't take Odessa oblast, that's going to be a future problem for them after this conflict ends. Both Ukraine and Russia are saber rattling for position before Trump gets in office, nothing serious IMO

I believe you're talking about Galen Windsor, and I think it was actually plutonium. He also claimed to have swam in some type of storage pool. My take is not that while not safe, the acute dangers are probably overstated to justify extreme regulation. This would also explain how many involved in the early nuke program weren't all dead. You can see pictures of them handling materials, watching the explosions and walking around detonated areas and they didn't seem too concerned or dropping like flies. I heard the other day that no one has ever died from radiation poisoning at a nuclear power facility. Maybe you know of people who have been injured at least?

You are hopefully right. Makes sense that he would net himself a better bargaining chip at the table when Trump takes office and a peace agreement is drawn up giving him parts of Ukraine he wanted. I'm all for it since a)the people in those regions didn't want to be part of NATO and b) The Ukrainian gov is pure corruption.

Galen Windsor worked at a GE fuel reprocessing plant that was built in Morris Illinois, that never did reprocess fuel due to the concerns and dangers of doing so. That site is still sitting there as far as I know, still storing spent fuel rods.
There are quarterly and annual exposure limits for nuclear power plant radiation workers but there have been accidents and overexposures leading to radiation sickness and deaths, those cases are well known.
When you reach your limit for the quarter or the year we used the term "Burned Out" meaning you cannot acquire any more radiation dose for that quarter or possibly the rest of the entire year if your dose was high enough. I have burned out on many occasions due to reactor and piping inspections carried in very radioactive areas of the plants that I worked at nationwide and overseas for numerous companies. I have done inspections on reactor head flanges with the reactor head lifted up just a few feet with the entire fuel load still in the reactor with about 40 feet of water between the fuel and me, with radiation protection techs behind me shoving probes down by my hands (that had finger rings to measure the doses my hands were seeing) yelling out what the does rates were while I carried out Ultrasonic inspections of the vessel head flange in full double PC's, Full raingear over the yellow PC's and PAPR respirator. Luckily I was never overexposed but I retired from the biz many years ago, the demands exceeded the compensation. I know a guy that fell into the fuel pool at one plant, he had to take a good shower to wash the contamination off of him.....he lived to be an old man.
Plutonium is extremely TOXIC to humans as well as radioactive that's another hazards of modern nuclear weapons other than the radiation. Most Plutonium isotopes are manmade weapons grade fission products made in fast breeder reactors, most weapons grade isotopes are not naturally occurring.

I think you're right to be skeptical. Probably a good portion of it is just psyop and propaganda. If you look at the footage from the 50/60's it looks fake. The claimed size of the explosions just gets more and more fantastical and everything is hyped. It smells (and looks) like the US-Russian space race.
The biggest nuke ever to be detonated, tsar Bomba, was said not intended to be used in war. They supposedly created it just to prove how big and bad they were. Well, why not simply make some great footage and lie about the whole thing? The ivy Mike footage is just goofy. And the damn thing wasn't even a bomb, it was a house.

They are just ballistic MIRV missiles. They have been around since the late 60s. Every country with ballistic missiles have these. All MIRV are hypersonic, these are quite slow compared to the US Minuteman III MIRV which hit mach 23 in terminal phase.

My understanding is that these missiles and the other hypersonics Russia developed in the late 2010s are different in kind, new technology, and basically unstoppable. It is claimed that this technology far surpasses what the United States has.This could be simply hype. If anyone knows of a commentary worth reading or listening to please send it along. But really, I'm not sure how anyone can know anything given that they were just introduced.

The footage is like ball earth photos, synthetic looking. A crude version of CGI.
"WHY WOULD THERE BE AN INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY TO FAKE NOOOOOKS BRO?!?!?!?"
Cause control. Major fear porn. If they said "nooks are dropping in cleveland" followed by some shitty cell phone footage it'd be panic city.
And then we are told "we don't use noooks d00d we use hydrogen now".
So no nukes? Yes or no? But they say "nukes" all the time still? My bullshit detector is spiking.....
I got another one for you:
"We lost the tech we had developed to go to the moooooon".
Always assume a known liar is telling more lies.

This one is always my favorite. It's like they are even using different footage from different explosions. Wtf is the dome with the geometric shapes in it?
