Lengthy but identifies rules for ships on international straits during times of war.

Where's Joe?

This is interesting in that, at least during the Cold War, the US would have matched such a nuclear-readiness escalation with an announcement of our own…
Maybe we've decided not to play Putin's game.

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 do we really think Joe is as savvy as Kennedy?

We need to pray that someone around him is. Don't even care who the person is, hopefully someone on the nsc is worth listening to.

Joe isn't, but the long term professionals making the COAs are

Our nuclear forces are always on alert.

What Putin wants is for us to publicly match his rhetoric in order to frighten the world and pressure Europe into abandoning Ukraine. We're not playing into that gambit.

First strike does not achieve Putin's ultimate goal: regime survivability. This is a bluff.

We need to be as brave as the Ukrainians.

Let's say Vlad pops off a firecracker inside Ukraine…

Does NATO respond?

Does firecracker mean nuclear weapon? If so, it would show he's totally unstable and the response to him would be beyond anything the world has ever seen.

Would be terrible.

Not militarily. Massive new sanctions and might consider other items including sanctioning 3rd part traders. But NATO is not going in unless attacked.

Also, with hearing from many here just how bad ass our military is, I'd like to think they've already planned how to respond in kind to that type of attack.

We've got the biggest stick, we shouldn't need to speak loudly.

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…

NATO isn't going to watch Russia drop a nuclear bomb on Ukraine and not get involved. Every country in Europe at that point is in jeopardy.

Kennedy savvy? HA!

He put nuke missiles in Turkey, so Khrushchev called his bluff and put missiles in Cuba. Kennedy publicly made Khrushchev pull missiles from Cuba, and Kennedy secretly pulled missiles from Turkey.

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.

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.

Nothing yet. Could be air defense. Still looking. Some guesses the plane shot down in the other video is related but doubtful.

BTW I don't believe anything is reputable anymore, everything is suspect.

EDIT
Don't worry though there are a half dozen people not contributing to these threads that will sure as hell let you know with a dozen posts of their own if you post something that is old footage or inaccurate.
