This would be hilarious if there wasn't a chance of nukes ending up in even worse hands. What a shit show, hopefully this gives Ukraine some breathing room to go even harder on the offensive.
I sure hope those nukes dont fall into the hands of a belligerent nation invading their neighbors and threatening to nuke anyone who gets in their way, that'd be quite an escalation!
The thing people don't realize about nukes is that you don't just build them once and bob's your uncle, you have a nuclear bomb forever. The material starts to decay and the potency of the bomb is then greatly diminished. Nukes must be maintained to keep them operational. In fact, I know westinghouse would buy old unspent weapon's grade material, and then refine/dilute the material to convert into fuel rods for nuclear power plants. Given the war, I don't know if that's still the case.
But yeah, nukes take a lot of effort and resources to maintain as far as I understand it.
Pretty much what I'm thinking. Wagner Group is essentially Nazis.
Which is ironic since that was Putin's justification for invading Ukraine.
"The call is coming from inside the house"
Yeah fascist Putin planted and supported fascists around Europe. Then used that as an excuse to attack Ukraine and now one of his fascist merc groups is attacking one of his fascist armies.
Infighting as usual. Fascists all the way down
The entire US, UK, Australian armies are chock filled with Nazis to the point they at various times have hoisted SS Nazi flags in Middle East and elsewhere publicly. What is your point?
Whataboutism
Whataboutism claims are a good sign of pseudo intellectuals dog whistling to attract mob attention, usually a last resort card played by people when they never have good discussion or argument skills. Usually this tactic is used by Western citizens on internet.
classic, never tires

good discussion or argument skills such as your exceedingly intellectual "well US bad too" you mean
I was not downvoting you, but you deserve them. Have one.
