How Close Are We to Nuclear War?
« on: January 10, 2025, 06:05:52 pm »
America’s proxy war with Russia isn’t anything new. It’s been decades in the making. Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick explain what nuclear war would actually look like.

An extremely interesting interview.  Thank you for posting this @mountaineer   I hope @Right_in_Virginia gets a chance to see it .... and others that doubted some of the things she's been pointing out about Russia and Ukraine.

Interesting, but Tucker seldom fails to deliver that. Worth a listen, at least to get a differing viewpoint on the situation.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I doubt that Russia has an effective nuclear arsenal. Their willingness to put conventional warheads on their ICBMs and then use them to destroy Ukrainian apartment blocks speaks to this.

Yep.  I'm willing to bet that their stockpile is mostly non-functional now, based on the rotten, corrupt state of their other armed forces.  Nuclear bombs and warheads have a shelf-life and have to be carefully maintained and monitored, something the Russians have obviously NOT been doing within their military for years.  Their last nuclear test was in October 1990.  And heck, there's even a question about whether or not ours still work after three decades!
