used in "combat". I don't think these civilians in Nagasaki and Hiroshima were doing much combat...
Japan's population was ready for an Allied invasion which would've killed far more Japanese and Americans.
War Criminal Americans are the only country in the world to have used nukes on Civilians
Thats rigth
Yep, poor japanese right? Imagine thousands of innocent lives killed by imperalist USA. Poor them right?
@@cliff311976 we were the country that came up with it, Japan is the one who lied in peace relations nd started pearl harbor, and nukes weren't a war crime then
Back in the 80's, when the U.S. and U.S.S.R. had 10x this amount, I was growing up about 30 miles from Damascus, Arkansas, where a Titan II missile exploded in a silo (the 9 megaton warhead was blown out the top and landed about 100 feet away without going off). Everyone was so used to constantly being under nuclear threat at that point, we all just kind of shrugged and went about our daily lives.
Now that's wild..I never heard of it but sometimes you just believe someone...thats still kinda scary
Nuclear weapons are extremely complex. I always thought Hollywoods portrayal of them was funny. People stuck in a room with a nuke as the timer counted down. Trying to shut it down by cutting the red or blue wire. You want to keep it from blowing up a city then beat it with a freaking hammer.
@@nemiw4429 it’s actually a lot of explosions that need to go off at the very same time. If one is off by a fraction of a second the nuclear reaction won’t happen. If stuck in a room with a nuke, just start ripping out wires or beat it with a hammer.
@@nemiw4429 I disagree. No one is stupid enough to use nuclear weapons now. If anyone ever does it will be a rogue nation who buys one and sneaks it into the US.
It’s amazing what people can get accustom to.
Im just impressed by all the camermen's tracking of the missiles
Well u know how these high tech cell phones are these days.
..some are even nuke proof
Oh, and this is probably one time we should have paid attention ( the world) to the 'NO NUKES' rallies in the world.
@Al appreciate the info al
87 gang that’s right
It's like a golf game on tv...tracking the tee shots
Great way to start off the day. Nothing to fear.
Here's what we know about Russia's Nuclear Arsenal... "Putin has pushed to modernize it" this means that everyone pocketed that money and then built Putin his palace. Who knows if anything even works.
@@sminem7466 I wonder if that's true of North Korea also
Your lawns looking great!
judgment day is inevitable
Yep, unironically. Knowledge is power. If you learn how to protect yourself against it, it suddenly doesn't become as scary
That's scary numbers of nukes for just two countries. 😳
And it's amazing with all that's going on, the Republicans and democrats are focused on the mid terms
Rights will be wrong, and wrongs will be right. Been that way for a while...anyone agree?
Thank you Wall Street Journal for bringing more fear mongering to the media. The fear from covid was waning for nearly all of us and we need you to tell us what to do and think.
@@robertdouglas8895 it's giving information mate . Get over yourself
America needs more. A lot more!
Eventually someone is going to use these weapons again. Some old guy with a few years left on his life with nuclear toys and nothing to lose will go for it.
We might possibly be seeing that happening at this very moment
Probably. Biden is capable of anything!
@@walterhess8147 I think both are capable
Putin is an old guy probably with a few years left on his life.
Pretty sure biden and putin could be that guy 😭
Do those warhead estimates include MIRVs or count that system as one?
Warhead head, not launcher
However, it either doesn't include submarine launched warheads or the estimate is way off... As no country disclose that number
I hope nuclear war doesn't happen on a Friday, that'll be just cruel
Would Monday be better? 🙄

Ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂 😄 😆 🤣 😜 😀
Thanks for making my day. It is almost Friday.
@@samad0289
Lighten up brother. Life is just too stressful.
Russia is making these weapons as a defensive strategy. They can’t keep up with Americas offensive capabilities so they decided to make nuclear defensive weapons. So instead of wasting money on 5th generation planes or ships. They’ll make the Poseidon and sarmat which essentially ensures that those offensive weaponry that the United States has will never be used on them because there nuclear weapons are now so dangerous that we would lose.
The Poseidon in particular is very terrifying. It can be launched and have an unlimited range because its a nuclear powered torpedo. So it can dive deeper than any submarine and go much faster. It can be programmed to hit any target whether it be Los Angeles or New York. And with new technology the idea is that they can make a tsunami weapon where the nukes are designed to make a massive tidal wave that can literally flood an entire city. Likely then hitting it with a nuclear cobalt salt bomb which will make the entire area uninhabitable for years.
for decades
2:27, it wasn't used in combat...it was used against a civilian population center...important to remember the difference.
Yeah well that's a quick way to end a World War when you nuke a few cities.Remember America did not start that war.... We just finished it.
@@ricksherman34
It is only quick when only one party has the nukes.
@@ricksherman34 you wanna use that as a justification to drop nuke on civilian?
We, a civilian are always the victim. Why must we have to be sacrifice? Why not its them?
Both were used in "War"; the "civilian population center" was a Strategic Wartime Target. Important to remember the difference. Think of Dresden, for instance.
correct me if im wrong here, but the warheads are not up to 400kt- these are MIRVS from the Satan 2. The Satan 1 was up to 400kt, Satan 2 is up to 750kt. Each missile can hold several of these warheads
It is fitting that MIRV nukes bear the name "Satan". Nukes are the most satanic weapon ever developed, I hope my predictions are wrong and they are not used ever again.
Everybody wanna either disagree or fight. Nobody wanna advance with diplomacy & the future of humanity.
I can't believe you left out hypersonic missiles
That bomb is just too powerful.
Can u imagine someone on acid when they drop the nukes
That's what she said.
can they ewen launch 50-60 year old missiles ?

all the same my friend and so will we.
@@N0noy1989 the tsar bomba is dropped by airplane. 😩
Tsar bomba was just a political propaganda point. They found out that it is much more efficient and destructive to drop many smaller bombs than one big one. That is why The nuclear capable countries have few megaton bombs , it there is some, it's a leftover from the 70s. The biggest one right now is probably the Chinese DF-5 ICBM one at 5 MT. The US is the B61 gravity bomb at 1.2 MT. Russia have a bunch at 850kt. Putin claims to have a 20MT torpedo but their is no evidence of it. He also claims to have the best tanks, but you see what's happening in Ukraine. The Tsar Bomba wasn't anything special.
The US and other countries with hydrogen bombs can produce it too or even bigger. All you need is a 3 stage fission + fusion and third stage of more fusion. The US biggest bomb was Ivey Mike at 10.5 megatons, that was an accident, it was meant to be 4 megaton. The nuclear scientists didn't account for the lithium fusing too. So building even a 100 megaton bomb is possible and not special but inefficient in delivery and destructive power. You just use more Lithium Deuteride which is the main fuel for a hydrogen bomb and a U238 tamper. Matter of fact the Tsar Bomba was meant to be 100 megaton, but they put a lead damper in it to absorb neutrons to lower the yield so the aircraft can escape and lesser the radiation fallout 25%. But like I said, it is more efficient and destructive that your missile carry a package of 8 -10 450 kt bombs that can target 8-10 different targets than one big bomb.
Nice video.
Russia's Tsar Bomba (AN602) hydrogen bomb is 50+ megatons. During testing it destroyed all structures within 34 miles of ground zero, anyone within 62 miles of the blast would have received third degree burns, glass windowpanes were broken out to 560 miles away.
Yes and the USA developed the atomic bomb
Stalin stole the technology
If Putin tries to start WW3 Russian people will assassinate him
This bomb is also not active anymore. They built 2. One was detonated and the other is disarmed in a museum. Even with a parachute the bomb almost killed the pilot that dropped it

interesting point!!
Id be interested in how many nukes are actually launchable in russia , as some may not know but u can't just let old nuclear missles sit they need to be maintenance
yeah...especially after all the sanctions.
I bet there are more than half of them that Russians themselves would not want to launch for fear of denotation on site due to lack of maintenance...
Yes like a bad bottle rocket. Go up about 40 feet and explode lol
No war!!!!!
'Those numbers are similar'. Thanks, wouldn't have known 👍🏻
Might the response in the silo, when Putin hits the button, be "YOU'RE KIDDING!"
Reporter says it's not clear what stage these new weapons are at in terms of whether their past research and development whether they've been tested-whether or not they are effective-she mentioned the zircon hypersonic-it's incorrect and inaccurate for her to say that at the time of this report which is clearly during the Ukraine war so this is clearly within the last few weeks-to say that it's not clear where these tests are at where these weapon systems are actually trying to paint a Rosy picture that maybe Russia doesn't have those advanced weapon systems that we don't have-it's fake news really because Russia does have the zircon she says it's not clear where they're at with zircon whether they've successfully produced it yes it is clear-they just showed it in November and December of last year they demonstrated multiple launches of the zircon hypersonic that were successful! I don't know where this lady gets her information now she's talking about it doesn't mean you Clara will happen maybe nuclear won't happen I mean what's the meaning of these maybe TV shows?!

Awful to think that the press of a button or the pulling of one lever can cause the firebombing elimination of an entire city
Nuclear missiles don't have to hit a target to be devastating to electronic infrastructures below on the ground. I doubt it would take many in the upper atmosphere above us to turn the lights out for most of the northern continent.
Most things would not be bothered. And the majority that were would just need to be power cycled.
Read a book sometime, might learn something.
Gee, thanks for that brilliant comment! As if even grade schoolers didnt know that!
There goes our command & control to respond while Russia launches it's ICBMs that have multiple warheads. I heard our ICBMs now only have 1 warhead. Russia has ICBMS on their subs, we don't and only 1/3 are on patrol. The other 2/3s are in port with their missles out of range to reach Russia. I could go on but the point is Russia is better prepared for a first strike. What will a cornered rat do?

@@Cyber-BuIIy US got nothing to talk about, they dont even have Hypersonic missiles
@@picasoj5944 You know that all ICBMs and SLBMs are hypersonic when they reenter the atmosphere? Hypersonic isn't special. The US has 11 Ohio class submarines that can launch 24 Trident D5 missiles, each capable of 8 450kt or 12 150 kt MIRVs ( warheads). Do the math, One sub can wipe out over 200 cities, imagine 11 subs. However due to START treaties , each missile is supposedly carrying 4 warheads. Instead of over 2000 cities , they can hit 1200 cities. How many cities do Russia have? And they can be parked right off the coast of Russia and hit it in 10 minutes. So what is so special about a hypersonic cruise missile? Is a nuclear war winnable with your hypersonics?

I can only pray for better days until people to get along with one another there is no good and in war no matter what side it is
That's crazy. Do a real time strategic examination of Russia's nuclear potential, and how much damage can be done in a 1 Megaton nuclear bomb.
In reality, these things pop open, as the fall towards their targets. They splinter their payloads into smaller groupings, like a 4th of July large firework in the sky as it explodes. Each one of these wheel spokes is a 200 kiloton atom bomb from the parent payload.
The volume the weapon's energy spreads into varies as the cube of the distance, but the destroyed area varies at the square of the distance. Thus 1 bomb with a yield of 1 megaton would destroy 80 square miles. While 8 bombs, each with a yield of 125 kilotons, would destroy 160 square miles.
A Megaton is 1000 kilotons.
A kiloton is 1000 tons of TNT.
A Megaton then is 1,000,000 tons of TNT.
The ton of 2000 pounds of TNT. Therefore, 2000x1,000,000 = 2,000,000,000 pounds of TNT.
As was explained in the opening paragraph, the B. L. E. V. Y. (blast leveling equivalent value yield) of that just under 1 Megaton atom bomb is a total square mile area of approximately 1/2 of the total land mass of Pennsylvania.
A 2 - missile strike, of this 9000 kiloton atom bomb type, is sufficient to destroy the entire State of Pennsylvania.
Russia's largest nuclear warheads is 58 Megaton, called a Tzar Bomb.
Russia has hypersonic missiles that travel at Mach 20. Mach 1 is 600mph, depending upon air temperature. That is approximately 3 miles a second. You would even see it as it flys by you. America cannot shoot those down
To further complicate matters, the best time to shoot down the middle is when you're with in close range and can hit it before it reaches the upper atmosphere. When it pops open, it's impossible to stop all of the splintering shells containing those 200 kilotons payloads. In other words, We're Going To Be Toast. All of the United States of America is Going to be Toast. Not just one or two cities. The entire land mass area will become a gigantic mushroom farm of atom bomb explosions, all at once.
Russia has a 6,257 atom bomb stockpile. Just that one 58 Megaton has enough nuclear energy in it to make enough, 200 kiloton bombs to do the job just described.
Russia has two super sized super gigantic massively payloaded nuclear missiles, called Satan I and Satan II.
When one of these falls, it blasts enough splinter bomb fragments in every direction to take out the entire East Coast, not just Washington DC.
A win win scenario is impossible.
Not many people viewed your comment but I see it. Thank you for the knowledge, I believe out of the longevity to humanity alive, the US will only bomb to kill Putin, they will not bomb cities just to match russias dumb decision
@@lukedowneslukedownes5900 You Do realize, Russia has 5,247 nuclear warhead atom bombs ranging in blast towels of 900 kilo to 58 megaton hydrogen atom bombed and Hypersonic missiles that can go 20x the speed of sound and we don't, and nuclear submarines off the West and East Coast, that fire 4 ICBM hypersonic Polaris missiles that travel at Mach 8 and we don't, right ?
I think you’re overestimating Russia. They’re a glorified gas station. Anything they say is usually just for show. They may have the technology for hypersonic missiles, but do they really have the industry? Also most Russian nukes take loads of maintenance, I believe the maintenance of American nukes alone was higher than the entire Russian military budget over the course of a year. So I don’t think they’re gonna be able to afford/produce/maintain any of the things you mentioned. Remember they’re a struggling Covid economy under immense economic pressure, I think Russia will collapse before we go to nuclear war. They’re bluffing.

No, they are missing India, Pakistan and Israel, which all have more than North Korea.
The future nuclear weapons are nuclear pistols that shoot tiny warheads with a yield of 3-5 micro-tons of TNT. Their mushroom cloud is about the size of a real button mushroom. We call them 'cute nukes'.

@@dynestis2875 I'm not aware of anything that can replace them.
If the future will exist in the first place
It's a very different situation than it was at the height of the Cold War. In those days - which I lived through - at the peak, the USA and allies possessed 50,000+ deliverable nuclear devices of every imaginable kind against the Soviets' 60,000+ That was my world in 1984. An all-out nuclear war would have, very simply put, sterilised the biosphere. (Read "The Last Ship" (1988) by William Brinkley if you want a reasonably accurate insight into how that would have looked.)
This situation is potentially terrible, and could lead to a strategic nuclear exchange. But, even if it did, the fact is that while most of the populations of the Northern Hemisphere would be essentially wiped out give or take a few million, most of the rest of the world would definitely survive.
So, it's most surely an utterly terrifying prospect, but in 2022 it's not the end of "The" world.
Just my world.
Yeah the Europeans will wipe each other out like always, at least this time the rest of the world can move on after the upcoming 'World War'
Look at the model forecasts post nuclear attack today in 2022. do you have any idea how many millions of tons of smoke and soot and carbon will be pumped into the atmosphere and block out the sun?
Imagine every city in Europe and America at full firestorm all burning at once. The amount of smoke will travel up and on the wind around the world. While the population of The northern hemisphere will be gone. The Southern Hemisphere will have limited if any sunlight. Crops will fail. Livestock will die. People will starve. The lack of sunshine will reduce the temperature to the point that even the hottest places on earth will freeze at night.
There’s no winner. And with America’s 1760 launch ready alert missiles the U.K. s 120 and Frances 200 plus 2000 from Russia all going off within half an hour today in 2022 is more than enough explosive power to put enough smoke into the sky to just about finish us all off.

THE cia and fbi needs to man up and TRY to gang-stalk PUTIN AND RUSSIA. LOOOOOOOOL........with those dirty,coward covert-operations they USE ON people.........
I suppose the US learnt that never won a conflict take Iraq and Afghanistan or even north Korea
For example
Bad analogy. Russia never had a long stick. Russia barely has a twig. Russia is the 2nd most powerful army in Ukraine. Russia is losing the naval war to Ukraine that does not have a navy.
Your incredible generosity and thoughtfulness shone through in their job, this team 👆 are transparent
Apocalypse film always showing after nuclear war.
Can their bom converting as power supply? Poor countries need this for facing crisis on 2050
WSJ also said that Putin would not invade Ukraine.
Not a very good video. It basically said the US and Russia have nuclear weapons, and Russia has a lot more tactical nucs. The implications were not explored.
Nodoubt russia has nothing to loose
This is unintentional asmr 😄
I see that others are interested in this topic In 2022.
Russia's nuclear weapons is not their last card on the table to play but it is their only card they can play in the international arena and that's the reason why they've been showcasing their arsenal this whole time.
In terms I doubt that if putin is trying to get back the USSR that nuclear warfare is probably what he worry’s to come because what happens is he issued a fair warning now if anyone gets in the conflict he will have to back up those words, and you think he’ll stop? It costs daily for war for supplies for everything how long can this individual hold out until he just looses it and launches the big boy bombs? We are all assuming what’s his next move and everything that’s on their tippy toes and in eggshells of what’s to come hope it isn’t a nuke.
ust one russia sub with 500 nukes can end usa and nato in 15mins and thats just one sub plus russia have more nukes the then world do
Yeah they scared
same as the usa
@@worldclassmma7466 everyone*
MAD = ultimate Pyrrhic NON-Victory.
Boom boom boom here we go another One bites the dust
truth.
After seeing the Russian Army in action, in Ukraine. I doubt Russia’s forces are fully capable of using nuclear weapons successfully.
I think the same, but.... I would not like to check if it is true or not.
Well nato and the US took over a 100 days to defeat Iraq lol and that included carpet bombing .plus the Iraq military surrendered lol .my.point nato and the US equal paper tiger 🐅
@@aleckulik8242 Is Russia winning? XD
@@jubjub444 they are the loosing either.. Its a stalemate
@@raidang LOL no. Russia is obviously losing.
The entire U.K. needs to watch the movie THREADS
How can we be talking about a Third World War when the U.K. has no provision for the protection of the civilian population.
There are No fall out shelters, no bunkers or bomb shelters. No air raid siren network anymore either. Most of the local government bunkers have been sold off or turned into museums. No nuclear government or military bunker in the U.K. is capable of surviving a direct hit from a high yield thermo nuclear weapon. Including Pindar 12 stories below the MOD. Or the corsham central war headquarters, or RAF high Wycombe or neatshead. We have bunkers but not deep enough to be of any use.
N O N E.
The royal yacht which the royals are supposed to be evacuated to in a nuclear war is decommissioned.
The U.K. has zero missile defence capability. Zero anti ballistic missiles like we had in the Cold War.we have nothing. Our 6 anti air naval destroyers are not capable of intercepting and shooting down ballistic missiles. So talk about using them to protect London is fantasy.
So we have no defence no preparations no shelters no bunker. In such conditions how can we possibly ever entertaining fighting the Third World war?
Suggesting we do is akin to suggesting we commit mass suicide.
The U.K. is tiny. Little more than a dozen Russian warheads on the U.K. could kill 50 million. In half an hour. If any government minister escapes or any general survives in an airborne command post, they will quickly realise survival was futile as There won’t be a population left to govern. The few remaining survivors will be dead within a month from radiation poisoning and starvation.
Lol the empire is crumbling more and more each day
@@JohnWick-stardawg The empire crumbled 60 years ago. It no longer exists. Britain is not alone in being wide open exposed and vulnerable so is Everybody else. except Switzerland not much to LOL about mate
@@frazer3191 yea, and don't be surprised if Switzerland is the first to go...my points a thatcourse in time it won't matter what country you are
@@toeknee5777 yes. The clouds will block the sun. And no crops will survive without sun .
Thank you Wall Street Journal for bringing more fear mongering to the media. The fear from covid was waning for nearly all of us and we need you to tell us what to do and think.
I sleep well, jb has it all under control.
Never say never this could trigger world war 3
The question is if those nukes are getting the same maintenance treatment the Russian military gets as seen in Ukraine its safe to assume a large percentage of those nukes are non-functional or reduced capacity.
I wouldn't bet on that.
Don't worry, they still have functional 100 MT Tsar Bomb, the largest nuclear weapon ever built, 20 of them would be enough for the US.
Ppl are crazy if your relying on them to not work 😂😂😂 it only takes one, ppl forgot they developed Satan 2 which is the largest nuclear weapon on earth and that's pretty recent
True that,, don't know whether it will work properly or not,it might land even in their land if fired.
@Chano Leyva it would only take one a country to do insane damage, not in service yet? I wouldn't exactly count on that, its due late 2022 projected from 2016, Satan 2 is multiple nuclear vehicles as they call them in one, equipped with decoys, when it breaks off it turns into multiple war heads each heading to their designated areas which means they can take out multiple cities or bases, and if you try to shoot them down that's where the decoys come into play, it's 2022 and it was due in 2022 so I wouldn't assume they don't have one
How does it compare? Considering the fact that the United States spends more annually maintaining and upgrading it's arsenal,than Russia spent on it's entire military in the last 10 years...the global concensus is that about 10-20 percent of Russia's aging and poorly maintained missile stockpile would actually reach it's target and create fission.Most would fail to launch,as the solid fuel needs to be replaced regularly,and in Russia, it's not.Some would simply explode in the silo.Some,with pre-1990 guidance would land nowhere close to where they're aiming...and out of those,most wouldn't detonate.10-20 percent is still a lot of destructive power,but their capabilities are nowhere close to what they boast.That's not my opinion.That's not the United States' belief.It's the global conclusion all the nuclear countries combined
I recommend YT-Channel Some More News for more News.
You never want to find out what the actual readiness is. That is the main purpose of deterrence. The best example is Israel. Officially, they don't confirm that they have nuclear weapons. Unofficially, everybody sure that they do. Nobody want to find out by counting explosions on their territory.
You wish. The US government has stated that Russia has more nukes than the US and also more powerful than theirs. That idea that Rusia is a poor soviet nation is just a delusion from the 90s when the Soviet Union fell apart. Russia is an enemy that US should be afraid off. They are way to strong minded. The worst thing you can do is underestimate them.
@@ddmddmd I said this 2 days ago.What's the breaking story this morning?That 60 percent of Russian missiles in Ukraine failed to launch.The 40 percent that did manage to launch,half of those failed to explode on impact.But I get it.... you're right and everyone else is wrong.Any reason to believe if their conventional arsenal is this ineffective,that something they never are going to use would fare any better?
@@nenmaster5218 I recommend you take your own advice.I said this two days ago.The breaking story this morning?That 60 percent of Russian missiles in Ukraine failed to launch.Of the 40 percent that did manage to launch?Half of those failed to explode on impact.Either I'm the modern day Nostradamus,or I know what I'm talking about.But I understand.If I were to have said "there's rocks in my yard"....that people just like you can't resist the urge to be contrary.You'd tell me how uninformed I am about my yard.It's okay.I'm still correct
Why can't gold be renditioned to make h gas and the ocean of chemicals and sensations it makes....? Why are the trees gone
This is so freaking sad....the co2 in July this year felt like it changed.....did you feel that????!!!
5k nukes but all it takes is one
all it takes is like 3000 of them to destory the worlds atomosphere sooo either way russia has enough alone
If Russia is striked by NATO, it will use 10 or 20 or 30 lower-yield tactical nuclear warheads to stop the invasion, that way Russia will 'de-escalate' the conflict and thus successfully defend itself. It wouldn't destroy the delicate balance of our planet's ecology, it would only destroy NATO, which is the most dangerous poison of our planet.
@@takoto2610 You are ignorant. At some point Moscow and New York and London and St. Petersburg and all military bases in the northern hemisphere will be bombed with nuclear weapons, and that will be the very end of the northern and probably the southern hemisphere.
@@tom7471 No, limited nuclear war in Europe which only tactical nuclear warheads are used only against military targets is possible. You should know that Russia has 2000 tactical nuclear warheads (along with sophisticated delivery systems, like cruise missiles, hypersonic missiles... etc), while NATO has only 200 and those are 'dumb' gravity bombs B-61, so an aircraft, like F-16 or F-35, has to fly directly over a target and drop a B-61 bomb on it.
Western propaganda channel 😀
Why
China has more than 350 nuclear warheads/bombs. They are have or are building 300 icbm silos, have SSBN's, road launchers and free fall bombs.
350 to hit usa and their friends. China is not like Russia, they will never give 1m2 of their land. China will join the third world war just to prove to everyone to not come nearby.
Russia has the most advanced and most nukes in the world. They have the might to stop NATO if they wanted. Hopefully there will never be a nuclear war and only peace.
Judging how they maintain their tanks, it is more difficult to maintain nuclear warhead. Maintaining nuclear warheads are very expensive. They don’t have the capability to launch the nuclear missile.
@@daniellai7712 They do and they demonstrated it.
@That's Not Funny, That's Sick! Advanced as in technology duh.
@That's Not Funny, That's Sick! Tell me, Are you claiming Russia's nuclear technology is inferior to NATO's?.
@That's Not Funny, That's Sick! BURNED.
good job
Russia would use nuclear weapons without a question, during the Cuban missile crisis the Russia sent a nuclear sub with instructions for nuclear war if attacked it was one of the two men responsible for firing that said no because it takes two people to fire,this time it's different, America has been pushing Putin into a corner and that's not going to end well if it continues.
that is the problem. western politicians are playing with the fire.
Kind reminds me what the US did to Japan squashing them into a corner
There again Japan. Never had 7500 nukes did they .nato and the puppet master the US needs to back of really
Cuban missile crisis scared them so bad they immediately took their Jupiter rockets out of turkey and established the Washington-Moscow hotline.
it took _3 keys_ to insert but one good guy did not insert his, and by the time they argued and fist fought they were inform to abort the mission
"Capable of potentially..." is redundundant. Also repetitive, too.
