Are Russia Heading For Defeat ??

Re: Are Russia Heading For Defeat ??

Not really, it’s what I’ve read over the years , and let’s be honest the number of nuclear armament’s any country is supposed to have is not going to be public knowledge. As another O/P has said it’s supposed deterrent more than anything, however, there are still conflicts being fought in the Middle East (which gets little or no attention) and this one in Ukraine.

The nuclear stand-off wasn't really about preventing local conflicts though. What specifically have you read over the years about the level of nuclear armaments being lower than is believed? Having spent my career in a job allied to the Royal Navy I'm interested.

I can send you what I’ve been reading , in a PM , in addition, say the Uk had up to a thousand warheads what would be the point apart from justification in expenditure?

Storage / maintenance would also be expensive

Because it’s another argument altogether. Not to worry.

Apparently, Ukraine has increased conscription age for men up to 70yo, they let prisoners out immediately giving them all weapons no vetting or question asked. From 1st October, women are being mobilised.

The conflict does appear to show there is no end in sight. Isn’t it about time both sides sat around the negotiating table ?

Putin hardly seems desperate.

I think Mr Morris would permit you to post the article(s) and for us posters to discuss it/them.

Re: Are Russia Heading For Defeat ??

Must say I was more than a little surprised to find this Mike Morris' video at youtube. In it he feigns a plainly fake Yank accent and pretends he's speaking from somewhere in the eastern USA as he dissects every word of Putin's speech.

He states he lived in Russia for many years, says the joint is crammed with an inexhaustible array of weaponry and is convinced Putin's not mucking around. His remarks at 7:47 has prompted me place another Asda grub order.

Putin is getting desperate, his threats these days are laughable. One day he says he wants peace like here, the next he’s talking nuclear again aswell as calling up 1000’s more reserves who dont want to fight either. Bit of a loser eh?
