The danger is now is if a false alarm happens. If it's deemed real... well that wouldn't just spoil your day, but your entire year. Or millenium... I don't think this is Putin threatening a first strike, but rather a bit of sabre rattling - before NATO took the same action.

We truly live in "I just get these headaches" times.

ukraine’s neo-nazi problem

Me neither. If it gets the stage where we need to go to the nuclear bunker I think I’d rather not be here anymore.

Really... Ukraine’s neo-nazi problem is Russia.

Putin seems to be escalating brutally already in the eve of the negotiations tomorrow morning. Most probably the first use of a thermobaric weapon

Sick, sick bastard!

Here's an explanation of what they do:

It was confirmed earlier that they have brought FOAB to Ukraine and while judging by the blast this isn't FOAB (it would have devastated everything within 200-300m radius) they are signaling they're ready to use them. Btw, the FOAB (affectionately known as the Father of All Bombs) is the strongest non-nuclear weapon which is thermobaric.

Well, don't vote for Merkel and/or Hollande in the next elections Compare to Le Pen being a presidential candidate....quite a difference.

The soviet trolls here have an incredible opportunity to buy all the roubles they need for their vacations in Sochi this summer. Undoubtedly, they prefer to spend their hard-earned cash in Russia rather than in the decaying and imperialistic Euro countries!

If they go nuclear you won't be...

It's likely Switzerland would get away with minimal impact damage (I can't see Russia targeting here directly) due to the surrounding mountains and we would all get to a bunker in good time and then have the luxury of watching the world die a slow and cold death while building a new underground society and developing our tumours.

However lets be realistic, nuclear war is extremely unlikely to happen. China is really close to Russia and if you think they want to see their country and massive and hugely vulnerable populations destroyed over a paranoid and delusional maniacs hubris then you are nuts. The huge workforce and manpower is Chinas economy and they would feed Putin over to the dogs in a heartbeat if they thought he would let the world burn.

In fact, all-out nuclear war and mutually assured self-destruction on a global scale is pretty much the only thing I am confident won't happen.

I fully agree (which is rare between me and Chuff ). Moreover, let's make a difference between tactical and strategic nuclear weapons. The (now proven fake) most powerful thermobaric bomb is a powerful as a tactical nuclear weapon and these are used in a non-sense called "escalate to deescalate" in order to crush so brutally your opponent with a limited blast in only one city, that will stop the war. Strategic nuclear weapons are the "big ones" meant to basically eliminate countries.

The other thing which a US General was saying yesterday is that the announcement of Putin makes no sense from a military perspective as "nuclear weapons are always in full readiness". But most importantly, he also underlined that Putin did not use the word nuclear, he asked the army unit which ALSO has nuclear weapons, but is in charge of defending the country, to be in full alert. It's just that in these times we're over-sensitive (for the right reasons) and he's playing on the fact that he's perceived as unpredictable.

This nuclear high alert announcement of Putin could be made for the Russians. The Ukrainian aggression is very unpopular, the economy is struggling, people in Russia are very upset about the situation. The external threat could be used for the internal unity.
