So you think RU will risk also becoming a nuke waste land? An honest question? because if so.... it sure does sound like WWI when everyone was thumping their chests like gorillas, and hardly couldn't wait to use their stock piles of military equipment and men on each other. This time around it will be different. Really would like to hear peoples opinion on what nukes will solve in the end. And would RU really start launching.
It wouldn't be the first time a good part of the European side of Russia got burnt to rubble.
The Russians of course don't actually want a WWIII full on. What they want is to end the war as soon as possible keeping the land they have to keep to guarantee their security and also be seen to be the saviours of the ethnic Russians the Ukrainians were going to genocide.
However it looks like there is a good chance the western politicians and of course the stupid poles will manage to be way too greedy and want to go actually directly have Nato start a war with Russia.
At that point, the Russians won't have as much choice, they aren't going to come out good in a full on open war with the USA directly when everybody gets to go full bore conventionally, especially if the USA can essentially use all Europe as their staging ground for attacks. So their only real move is to essentially nuke all their enemies in Europe into rubble while soaking up any damage England and France can do before they are destroyed, and possibly a few locally launched nukes under american control before the rest of the USA stooges in Europe get taken out, and then gamble that the USA doesn't really want to go full nuclear destruction over Europe.
It's a better option for them than being invaded and overrun by the western imperialists.
Then if the USA really wants to go full nuclear destruction, so be it, the Soviets figured that Russia could rebuild from nuclear devastation quicker than America since they were a more brutal culture.
China is free then to take over most of the pacific and that gives what is left of Russia a bit of a buffer to not worry about whatever is left of the Americans when they get started trying to rebuild.
From the standpoint of the Global Elites and the NWO, letting it get to a limited nuclear war in Europe, with a few big cities and perhaps a couple countries like Poland and the Ukraine blown up then suddenly working out a peace deal to avoid global nuclear destruction, would be the perfect cover to kick start the new One World Order as people everywhere beg for someone to save them.
