Russian invasion of Ukraine

I've posted this before but it was the same with Trump. The joint chiefs have publicly come out and said that there was no conceivable situation where even if he ordered a nuclear strike that it would actually happen. There's a full chain of command comprising of very serious, very experienced military staff and no such thing as a "red button".

It'll be exactly the same in Russia. As it is here. If Johnson in a pissed up stupor after one of his "business meetings" decides to live out his Churchillian fantasy and orders a nuke on Germany, it wouldn't actually happen unless about a dozen generals agreed. Which they obviously wouldn't.
We can all take heart from the example of Vasili Arkhipov.

I suspect the Russian top brass have a realistic view of the situation on the ground and withdrawing without a cease fire won't be an easy task. Nuking their own forces won't be too popular, either, at home or in the forces.
 
Yeah, reading that Putin won’t allow any Russian personnel within ten meters of him. No idea if it’s true, but we do keep seeing these images.
Detached from reality and sound advice if true. Just yes men. We've all seen Downfall. Scary stuff that this guy is in charge of any country let alone a major nuclear power and a huge military.
 
I think at the moment Ukraine are winning the propaganda war all we are seeing is information about their successful attacks, I'm not sure things are going quite that well I hope they are but you can never know

I was saying similar to my Daughter, at the moment this is all political posturing and there will be a lot of highly intellegent people who will stop this escalating to the point of Nuclear weapons being used.
 
5000 Russian protestors arrested so far. Russian people were queuing up to withdraw cash today and the protests are only growing. Soon the food shelves will start to empty and prices will soar and then you'll start seeing the police stop arresting the protestors and join them.
 
Oh for the Politburo days when leaders suddenly got ill and disappeared.
It'll happen to Putin, sooner rather than later.

He's just alienated all the oligarchs. These guys made him, they're billionaires, they control the Russian mafia and state industry.

His invasion is going to shit. The military will turn against him when they see the death toll ramp up. He's fucked.

That's if the CIA or MI6 don't get him first. And you'd have to be very naive not to think US/British/other NATO operatives aren't already in Moscow and plans for this haven't been drawn up for years.
