So when the Soviet Union broke up, did Russia literally just pull out all the nukes in Ukraine and truck them back to Russia?

Ukraine held them for a while, Russia later removed them with Ukrainian permission.

Ironically they returned them because both Russia and many western European nations promised to protect their security.

seeing an unconfirmed report that VSU hit a russian airport in what seems to be russia.

one of the cyberattacks appears to be a number of phishing campaigns against ukrane nationals. hmmm…

What should the priority be?

Prioritizing avoidance of war is a weak-tight strategy and leads one to being continually run over if someone decides to be a bully and threaten violence repeatedly to take what they want. Appeasement now as a strategy only works if you think Russia will be satiated by Ukraine and not have any further demands emboldened by their ability to get away with things now.

I don’t know what you think my thing is. I tend to be interested in theory and what-ifs and exploring hypotheticals, so I like to consider the range of possibilities instead of concentrating on the specific hand situation.

Hostomel appears to be holding

I mean do you see a scenario where a WW3 doesn’t involve nukes and an at best mega devestation of earth?

It’s reasonable to read my statements ITT as assuming that ww3 will be a nuclear war.

house of representatives trying to kick out russia from UN security council?

Couple of gems from the Rupar and Dale thread.

I need to see Republicans whining about how Ukrainian gun laws made them vulnerable to Russian invasion.
