Pentagon’s Strategy Won’t Rule Out Nuclear Use Against Non-Nuclear Threats

[Mushroom]

The U.S. government’s plan to conquer Russia is based upon a belief in, and the fundamental plan to establish, “Nuclear Primacy” against Russia

The US does not have to "conquer" anything.

Russia failed what, two or three times in a century? And is a failure once again at this time?

You see, that is a big problem with people like you. You think we actually give a crap about Russia. The fact of the matter is, Russia is of little to any concern to the US, unless they are acting like bullies. Stop acting like bullies, and you will go back to being completely insignificant to the US.

I dare say that unless Russia is acting like a spoiled child, more Americans care about the PWBA than give a fig about Russia.

What if a Russian nuclear attack on Ukraine kills a number of British and French citizens?

Nope. Again, what is the upside for Britain? Are they going give give up London just to avenge a couple citizens abroad?

Why do you think the Russians would retaliate against London?

If Brittain nuked Russia, you think they wouldnt retaliate?

Of course but retaliating by nuking the largest city and national capital of another nuclear power is something else entirely.

Once it starts, it starts. No one is going to try to hit softer targets. What would be the point of that? Russia nukes Birmingham and then Britain says "ok, were done now"? That is never going to happen.

How do we know that? It isn't like we have a history of nuclear conflict to guide us.

And by the way "nuclear winter" is a pure myth.

Common sense dictates that you dont start a nuclear war with Russia because they nuked a country that isnt yours. There has to be some benefit, right? How does England starting a nuclear war with Russia over Ukraine help England? Answer: It doesnt. Not in a single way.

Most of U.S. "nuclear umbrella strategy" during the Cold War was based on the idea of the U.S. nuking the Russians if they attacked a country that "wasn't ours".

You keep avoiding the question. How does Brittain benefit from throwing a nuke at Russia after Russia nukes Ukraine? We know the downside. Nuclear armageddon. What is the upside that makes it worth it?

It shows the Russians that attacking any nation with nuclear weapons will not be tolerated.

Nice consolation prize for the extinction of our English allies. What lesson does Russia turning Brittain into a nuclear wasteland send? Do you think it will inspire more nations to join in the nuclear fun?

What do you think of this? Do you think this is acceptable or not?

If someone uses Chemical Weapons or Biological Weapons against us, we can reply with a nuke. The US position has always said a nuke=chemicals=germs=chemicals=nukes.

We have only 1 of those remaining, and won't use chems or bugs in retaliation so nukes are our WMD's of deterrence.

losing London would NOT mean the extinction of the English.

What the fuck makes you think Russia would stop at London? They arent going to give them the opportunity to pull off a comeback after getting knocked down.

In that case wouldn't it make much more practical sense for the Russians to attack Faslane? If they nuked the Britiish SSBN base at Faslane they would likely destroy at least half the British nuclear arsenal in one fell swoop,

What about the rest? Why isnt Russia taking it ALL down in your scenario?

Leaving such Russia's move without an answer can green light similar actions from say Iranian or North Korea regimes.

Though, I don't think Russia nuking Ukraine will cause a nuke response from the West. More likely some conventional response.
