- What If Putin Nukes Ukraine?
An update on the situation:
Since the script was written the sham elections in the four regions (Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Luhansk, and Donetsk) were used as an excuse to officially annex them as part of Russia, even though they don't fully control any of them and are losing ground. Russia has also annexed the nuclear plant.

When Chernobyl melted down the weather caused the fallout cloud to be redirected toward Moscow. They had to dump dry ice into this fallout cloud to cause rain. The rain removed most of the fallout and Moscow was saved. But part of Russia was polluted by this radioactive rain. Surely the Russians have not forgotten this episode and are reluctant to cause another Chernobyl. They may be willing to chance a little fallout from a tactical nuclear warhead though.
A nuke on a neighbor hurts both nations, I think that if a nuke gets set off the country of Russia will have major revolutions and would have to seize the war
The physics of a nuclear reactor is fundamentally different than a nuclear bomb. A nuclear bomb is a runaway reaction to produce neutrons that split uranium atoms to produce more neutrons at a fast rate to release as much energy as possible. This creates a giant explosion. A nuclear reactor, however, uses techniques to slow down the chain reaction of fission to have a steady and manageable flow of neutrons to maintain a smaller, but consistent source of energy. If the system fails to properly cool itself and goes into a meltdown, it can cause an explosion, but it’s several magnitudes smaller than a bomb. Because the bomb is a runaway reaction, it does not contaminate the area anywhere near as much as a nuclear reactor. After about 2-5 years, the amount of radiation that would remain is negligible, while the meltdown of a reactor will last for many many decades.
Big difference is Nuclear and conventional weapons weren't being pointed at Moscow from the Baltics and Poland in 1986. Russia wishes to survive as a country and people, which may, as Biden himself said in the 1990s lead to nuclear war if NATO gobbles up Ukraine, therefore using nukes just to conquer Ukraine, might be seen as worth the risk
From memory, Belarus got some of the worst of the fallout -- and I don't think they've forgotten about that...
@@LoremIpsum1970 won't stop them from dropping a nuclear bomb, it's different.
The problem with the escalate to deescalate strategy is that if the opponent calls your bluff, you have to do what you said you would do otherwise they won't believe you in the future. The other problem is that if you escalate straight to nukes instead of a gradual escalation, there isn't really anything higher that you can escalate to. Either way, Putin backs future Putin's choices into a corner.
But then to call their bluff as most keyboard warriors do on the internet, it would demolish main cities and people would be put in a fire ball of hell.
Russia is not currently saying they'll use nuclear weapons, so there's no bluff. Every country spells out the conditions where they'll justify using nuclear weapons, and I believe in the presentation it was both Russia has to be attacked and the existence of the Russian state has to be under threat. So even if Russia declares the annexed regions to be under their nuclear protection, the existence of the Russian state is not yet under threat, and therefore they are not justified to use nuclear weapons. I supposed that they can just use it anyway, but the problem is the cost of doing so would be to piss off everyone, including the so-called neutral or friendly countries. The other issue is what tactical purpose would it serve, probably not much, I mean nuclear weapons are powerful but one or two wouldn't really turn the tide of the war. So all in all, it seems unlikely.
As for further escalation, of cause it's possible. If they only use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, Nato countries can only really justify retaliating with conventional weapons, but if by doing so they push Russia into a state of, "facing an existential threat", Russia will be able to justify using nuclear weapons on Nato, and Nato will then, in turn, be able to justify using Nuclear weapons on Russia, and then obviously we're all screwed.
@@Lena-vw6ye Its not that he's calling for it jesus. Its how military and political leaders plan.
Its not the first time leaders have turned cities into fireballs before. Its been going on for thousands of years.
Its just the weapons of today cause more than that, that doesnt mean they wont do it. The times may have changed, but war never does.
You could easily escalate it more actually
Just nuke them more
@@Lena-vw6ye Well, yes, but to not call their bluff would mean the end of Ukraine. And the US / NATO will respond to russias use of nukes with an all out aerial bombardment and missile strike. They would wipe out 50k-80k Russian soldiers in ukraine and in Black Sea in a short time.
The irony is, that Russia’s energy shenanigans will likely drive Europe back towards nuclear power.
Good! Well-engineered nuclear reactors are the solution. Energy independence and climate change deterrent
You dont know Germany if you think they are ever going back to nuclear power any time soon.
It will be a good thing as Nuclear power is statistically the safest kind of energy

I don’t know why civilians are always the victims of war. If politicians what to fight, just make them duke it out in a boxing ring.
So if your country's politicians lose, you're willing to give away your land?
because putin doesn't want to fight with politicians, he wants to destroy the country, he wants to feel like he owns the territory and the people. So civilians are the targets, he believes that if he scares people enough, they will give up. As a Ukrainian, we'll never be scared of him
Millions of years of evolution point this direction. In fact even chimps have politics and fight wars, as revealed in studies of their social hierarchy. It's baked into our genetics to handle things this way on large scales.
Just get Putin and Biden on that boxing ring while the Americans and Russians come together and laugh 😂
Because they are tied to the pride of their country

@@brokolosbinala2970 nuclear fallout more than likely. The fallout will travel back into Russia over time due to the weather patterns. That’s my guess to what he’s referencing
If it’s a smaller warhead and perhaps directed toward a western region of the country (maybe Lviv) it would not cause significant fallout to reach Russia.
Nukes are basically the give it to me or we both lose move always
If you’re going to die anyways, it’s only a thought about doing the right thing that prevents you from taking others with you.
IF the power lines were deliberately cut off, we do have a dying guy here ready to take others with him to the death. A suicide bomber as president for nuclear arsenal.
This is as bad as Libya or North Korea having icbms.
Another correction is that Russia has more tactical nuclear warheads than strategic warheads. You stated in the video “there are a smaller number” of tactical warheads than the other kinds.

Personally, I have a hard time believing the massive shortages, poor maintenance and wide spread corruption doesn't apply to the nuclear forces in Russia. While I'm sure they have the ability to use these weapons, and I'm sure at least a few might operate as advertised...the real question is can Russia survive the global response if they do? Not to discredit the unbelievable work the Ukraine has done defending their home...but if Russia can't hold up against Ukrine, they have absolutely no chance against a collective global response that has yet to even "take the gloves off" so to speak
You're absolutely right about corruption. And there's one more thing to it. When you've been robbing the oil/gas country for 22 years, where did all the money go? It's all in the West. Google the kids of deputies of Russian Duma. Google the ministers and their kin. Where do Putin's daughters live? Where does all the money go? That's right. The Soviet Union was a closed system. The communists didn't keep their wealth in Europe, US etc. And even they avoided using the nukes. Cause nobody wants to win by killing himself.
So yeah, it's a total bluff.
Btw what kind of global response , probably a response from those superpower countries who don't even want to send one soldier to Ukraine . And u think they would start a nuclear war and risk their main cities to Russian ICBMs
Global response? You mean NATO?
@@frozenking3500 Depends on how many are still even operational Russia's military budget is round 65-70 billion dollars the US by it's own number spends over 65-70 billion on it's nuclear program ALONE so how many of those nukes are even operational is up for serious debate that's not including A LOT of other factors in Russia such as rampant military corruption general lack of honesty in reports just look at the Moscow it was supposed to be the most advanced ship in the Russian Navy and a SINGLE Neptune missile sunk it when it shouldn't have been able to, if you look at the reports it was a surprise the ship was still even running to being with let alone a capable warship. And if i can think of this i bet you every other nation has also thought of this as to how much of Russia arsenal is even operational.
What global response? Should Russia nuke Ukraine my guess is Nato does nothing. Armchair "experts" on the internet think The West would fire Nukes back forgetting that China has nuclear weapons too, as does North Korea...and if we start shooting our nukes we've just told China and North Korea it's okay to shoot theirs. So, bye bye South Korea, bye bye Japan, bye bye U.S. etc, etc.

Amazing video man!
I don't think being vague is an appropriate strategy. There needs to be somewhat of an unknown in what the response will be, but there also needs to be a large enough "threat" if you will to deter the use of them. There also likely needs to be some sort of off ramp for Putin/Russia to further deter the use of nuclear weapons.
The key is or be vague but not that vague. Give them a hint of what the consequences would be and it appears the US has already done that.
A famous former US general has already suggested what the plan would be if Russia were to use a nuclear bomb on Ukraine . It basically would be that NATO would use a conventional weapons to destroy every single Russian soldier in or near Ukraine. The US already has an idea where most of the Russian soldiers are located and would be easy targets for the far superior weapons that the US has. Supposedly such Information would already be suggested to Russia.
Putin isnt going to nuke anyone but the nuke unit can be placed in areas where HIMAS would normally be used to to neutralise therefor stopping attacks. Beyond that i look forward to Ukraine capturing it at some point.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson If US weaponry was so far superior, why haven't the Ukrainians been able to defeat them after more than half a year? The reality is that, this conflict could go on for years or Russia could end it with nuclear bombs. In the end, if Putin had to choose between Russia or Ukraine, he's going to choose Russia, and I don't think Russia is going to allow Ukraine a bordering country as an enemy. Also, NATO is not exactly prepared either, as Germany only very recently declared their $100 billion military modernisation.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson Russia lacks the ability to tell if these weapons have nuclear warheads or conventional but they will see the missiles approaching and would probably respond with nuclear weapons as Ukraine is so close to Russia meaning this strategy would just lead to US military facilities and cities getting nuked before anywhere in Russia does
being vague is strategic because it doesn't draw a clear red line. if you say specifics then Russia will commit atrocities around your red line but "technically" not crossing it
It shows how weak Russias military is. That they're constantly bragging about nuclear weapons.

Once all these super power rival countries are dealt with, the end goal of US is to world domination, one world government where billionaires have excessive power, and poor folks are their subjects. Countries like China, Russia should be there, because it ensures the world balance. That's why people should support Russia, and demand US led NATO to withdraw all the NATO camps, and missiles away from Russian border.
@@theforsakeen-9014 fuck no how about Russia’s stop it’s invading of it neighbors aka Ukraine and Georgia why do you think so many countries joined NATO out of fear and hate of Russia not to mention Russia is more likely to start WW3 and invade Europe if it could
Just because Putin did not 'emphatically' say he would nuke the annexed regions does not mean he wouldn't; he also did not directly exclude the possibility, therefore, it is either he nukes the annexed region, or ultimately does not. Simple as that.
And also; not to be a strongarm argument, but Putin is well known for taking U-turns or answering with simply more action, until the opposition caves and gives 'concessions'; you can take from that what you will, though many speculate it is different this time.
Putin is a master of intimidation, that’s how he gets what he wants. I think globally, no one is fearing him anymore.

It's questionable that their nukes work at all given the state of the rest of Russia's military equipment. Nukes are much more finicky than conventional weapons; If they are not perfectly built and maintained they will just fizzle and have basically no yield.
Of the 6,000 or so nukes, say only 1% are operable.

You forgot something, Soviet placed missiles in Cuba as a response to USA placing nukes in Turkey. Something so small can be really significant as to why that happened, same thing is almost happening right with USA's NATO trying to meddle in buffer zones. Both cases required an answer.
It is not possible to appropriately respond to a nuclear strike without starting WW3
no
A domino effect or chain reaction could follow. Russia uses them, the China uses them. Followed by N.Korea then Iran.
Even if the satellites pickup the launch, Putin has been using hypersonic missiles during the war and they're nuclear capable. Those would be impossible to intercept.
That isn't how it works, in all likelihood the US would make an immediate peace deal. America isn't gonna ruin it's economy//society for Ukraine there is zero precedent for that. America currently has nothing to lose, it's not gonna change that.
What city do you think Putin would Nuke first? #1 pick for Ukraine and #1 pick Europe
Probably where there is the most concentration of Ukrainian troops, or maybe Kherson.
I'm in London, so I vote for #2 London 👍 This is like the 80s all over again...
Kharkiv, and then either Paris, London, or Warsaw. For something that drastic it would have to be big.
Kyiv and London are likely targets. DC too.
It wouldve been really scary
Dude, I love you vids, but you really need to sort out your sound quality.
In conclusion, were all dead
Me: **Sips tea in my Patagonia búnker** So, the northern hemisphere gets blown, vaya vaya que la cagan weon, alexa, set the cronometer to 10 years, lets start the reverse colonization once dust settles.
Oh you’re for reverse colonialism? Dose that mean you’ll give the Mapuche your bunker?
Global south wins again?
Eww, a world populated by Argentinans. 🤢
You probably wouldn't survive, current scientific models points towards a massive mass extinction, eradicating basically all vertebrate animals (including all fish), due to causing a nuclear winter lasting for several years.
So if you survived in a bunker, you would find a empty world, devoid of all animals, and not even any green plants outside of the tropics. The tropics would also be devastated, as rainforests cannot handle temperatures below freezing, and lack of sunlight for 3+ years, but it is probable that some tropical plants and grasses would survive thanks to hardy seeds and root systems.
There probably would be no vegetation at all in most of Europe (or any place else that's not the tropics) for many decades. There would also be severe soil degradation, since there would be zero vegetation to stabilise it, so most soil would quickly errode away, leaving much of the world quite reminiscent of mars. Soil renewal is a natural process, and new soil would eventually form, but it would take several hundred years.
You would also have great difficulty trying to cross the Atlantic, as there would be no working technology or industry to produce metal ships, and no lumber, since almost all trees would be extinct. Maybe you could find some small carbon fiber sailboat in working condition, to sail across the vast, dead and fish-less ocean.
But besides the remains of destroyed civilisation, you'd never find anything but empty land, too ruined to settle for many lifetimes.
Also, since all people died, a significant number of all nuclear power plants probably had meltdowns, with no one around to try contain it. So much of the world would be severely irradiated, not only from nuclear fallout from weapons, but from hundreds of Chernobyls and Fukushimas, all over the world.
The increased erosion would also put a lot of iron into the oceans, which would deplete oxygen by as much as several percent. There would also not be any photosynthesisng algae or vegetation around to replenish it. The oxygen would not become low enough to kill a human, but you would probably feel permanently out of breath due to the lower partial pressure of oxygen. So you might never be able to run again without passing out from hypoxia.
Pretty bleak stuff. Let's hope it doesn't happen.
Orgulloso de vivir en Argentina, mientras todo el cono sur vamos a ser potencia, el resto va a estar todo destruido

Would have been nice🤣
thank goodness THAT never happened
your voice is very low. even when i turn my volume all the way up. just so you know maybe for future videos. thanks
Since when was Rafael Mariano Grossi French??
It seems to me that the rational response to a tactical nuclear strike would to seize any and all Russian shipping, inform China that there would be secondary sanctions enforced with seizures of in-bound LNG and oil shipments for any deliveries of Russian hydrocarbons. Obviously, this is completely detached from what the actual response would be.
The rational logical response is not do anything since Ukraine isn't even an ally and they wouldn't have returned the favor
I agree. Military response would be a really bad idea
The best response without nuclear retaliation to screw us all would be a full blockade of russia, obliterating any russian forces in Ukraine (though stopping at the border and not using any NATO ground troops) and fasttracking Finland, Sweden, and other potential members into NATO. It would easily spark a civil war within russia, show the consequences of nuclear action, and likely avoid full blown nuclear conflict.
@@19382q It would still affect NATO doe? Like you know that Ukraine borders NATO countries right? And it wouldnt be a NATO response but a global fucking one
@@lordmilchreis1885 i doubt that the USA dropped 2 bombs nobody cared we're spending billions fighting a war we cant win and ukrainian people are paying the price
Nuclear weapons are very scary.More people actually get killed later due to radiation and injuries from the blast.I hope Russia wont use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.Honestly i think the consequences for Russia would be terrible so from their point of view i dont think its very likely.
With or without use of nuclear weapons,war is always hell,innocent people get killed and countries get destroyed.Its very heartbreaking to see something like that.
for today only 1 country use nuclear weapon against enemy and it is not evil empire of Russia, it were white true democracy and peacekeeper named USA
That's actually bs. The dangers of radiation have been completely overblown over the last few decades. Especially when a nuke is detonated a few hundred meters in the air, fallout is actually minimal. The VAST majority (over 90%) of people in Nagasaki and Hiroshima died due to direct blast effects. And with modern fusion bombs, where the majority of the energy is provided by deuterium and tritium, the effects of radiation are even less, since there are less fission byproducts.
@@user-zb8tq5pr4x that's when the massive city-sized fire storms from after the detonations put enough soot into the atmosphere to reduce the sun's intensity to the point where we have wide scale crop failure due to the cold, and worldwide famine :')
@@ZentaBon That's the thesis, yes. I don't buy it. (Also, the fires were not supposed to be the thing that causes nuclear winter, the soot would not float high enough into the stratosphere to stay there for a long enough time to cause any cooling. That kind of debris would fall to the earth with the first rainfall).
The thing is, the US detonated over 1000 nuclear bombs in their tests in the 50s and 60s, and we haven't seen ANY global cooling effect due to that whatsoever.
@@ZentaBon Personally, I think a lot of information about nuclear bombs is completely overblown to scare the general population. It would not be as bad. Hundreds of millions would die, sure, but humanity would go on.
Satellites can't observe weapons being transported underground...
Who was shelling the power plant?
russians
Both sides
Welp this just got a lot more real today.
After hearing that Ukraine gave up its nukes in 94, I'm like if only they knew...
Its Russian nukes stored in Ukraine
If they did not give them up, Moscow had the right to take them by force
“Emphatically didn’t”
Yeah ok
4:53 why does that mass grave look like someone took time and care to Burry the dead, even placing crosses which look hand made.
Because it was fellow Ukrainians burying the dead soldiers and people out of respect don’t know why he showed this clip making it seem like russia did that
The gravity of our current situation is greatly underestimated by everyone in common everyday life.
not it's not, proxy war of similar proportion were already fought in vietnam and afghanistan before.

0:15 World war 3 he meant, twas a typo.
Appeasement went great. Just ask Hitler and Europe in the first half of the 20th century.
Appeasement was to buy time for rearmament. Of course, the Nazis rearmed faster.
Appeasement worked
@@jascrandom9855 actually, UK and France barley did anything after the appeasement so no, that’s not what it was for. In fact, after Germany invaded Poland and the allies declared war, nothing happen for well over half a year. They really didn’t prepare that much so they took that time to start preparing.

"The start of World War III was narrowly averted on October 28th, 1962."
October 28th, 2022: Hello.
They already said they saw a nuke on a train to the front lines the other day
Source or it's fake
life changes for everyone of a single, even if tactical, nuke is used in battle.
Wasn't Cuba in direct response to US nukes being based in Turkey? Duck and cover isn't as silly as it sounds, if you can get out of the line of sight of the initial flash and heat -- even by using clothing -- that can help, what happens after depends on how far you are from ground zero...The problem these days is the little warning you would get from SLBMs, not that the 4-minute-warning we would have got when I was a kid gave you much time to do anything...and they took our civil defence sirens away in the 90s, so that will be the day I forget to charge my phone.
Call me heartles, but i wanted to know how the surrounding ukrane, russia and every other country, if nukes where uset, har far would the Fallout go.
The biggest problem is social media targeting generals and general population. This is all investigated by highest buyer. After this, watch shares.
10:08 - It is important to understand the context behind that quote. Although the dissolution of the USSR is celebrated in the west as the "Triumph of democracy over autocracy", many people are completely unaware that there actually was a referendum in the USSR and the vast majority of people voted against the dissolution of the USSR.
Moreover, the transition of Russia into capitalism involved rapidly privatising state assets at bargain prices to foreign investors. Boris Yeltsin was effectively a US puppet and a notorious drunkard that often even stumbled in public.
That is why Putin became so popular in the first place - unlike Boris Yeltsin, he was disciplined and competent and wanted Russia to not be a western puppet.
Russia isn’t known for holding fair and free elections. So when, where and how did this referendum take place?
no
