Unfortunately, with nukes entering the conversation, there is no game…
I'm thinking back to what choices Kennedy made during the CMC…
One point in particular that sticks out to me was him changing the ROE on the fly when Soviet forces in Cuba knocked down our U2…
ROE dictated we retaliate…Kennedy held back…
That decision may have very well saved the world from nuclear holocaust back then…
What move do we make now, and so we really think Joe is as savvy as Kennedy?
Our nuclear forces are always on alert.FireAg said:74OA said:Maybe we've decided not to play Putin's game.FireAg said:TX_COWDOC said:

We need to have the cool hand - i am not sure if the precise translation of the terms Putin used.

Not militarily. Massive new sanctions and might consider other items including sanctioning 3rd part traders. But NATO is not going in unless attacked.
❗️Briefing by Alexei Arestovich: The enemy is exhausted. The last forces have been thrown at #Kyiv and #Kharkiv. The enemy is tactically retreating.

Kennedy savvy? HA!Quote:

This is a huge deal. Russia will inevitably retaliate and shut its airspace to Canada, which cuts off many of the great circle routes that go over the top of the world.

It also puts a measure of pressure on the US to do the same. https://t.co/icTCtUQKs9
Not all nuclear weapons are Hiroshima type and yield. Small battlefield nukes/Neutron weapons are short burst and not necessarily "dirty". Your troops have to still occupy that area, after all.FireAg said:aezmvp said:FireAg said:

Radioactive fallout knows no borders…
I don't know the right answer here…I'm starting to wonder if ol' Vlad really has lost his mind…
If he has, I think that changes things…

We most certainly had them, but apparently dismantled ours in the 80s. Other nations won't disclose their situation, but they certainly fit Russian battle doctrine.CanyonAg77 said:
