There have been reports of chemical use in the Ukraine theatre. I don't know if "Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear protective equipment" is just a catch-all for the entire package or if those individual items have been sent for specific purposes. (Meaning if you send Chemical, you also send Nuclear, or if a nuclear package was sent because of a perceived nuclear threat.)BREAKING: US sends equipment to Ukraine that is needed in case of nuclear war!November 20th aid package includes: “Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear protective equipment”-> Why now?
Consider everything you read or hear fake until proven without a doubt. Even if source normaly reliable.My news feeds foreign or local full of unverified![]()
Launch it from deep in the taiga… might not be that impractical. There’s tons of information floating around right now. Russia is going to respond to these long range hits. It’s just how and when.I have doubts they’re gonna use an ICBM to bomb Ukraine.
Have a look in the report section, or at least make a simple search instead of flooding the thread with shit lol.What information here is fake? It’s a tweet, not my information. I am relaying it for the team to look at and consider. Go away.
This kind of equipment falls in the broad export category of "CBRN defense gear".

That stuff has been sent way before ATACSMS were accepted too, so it can't be used as some kind of argument that nuclear war is imminent.BREAKING: US sends equipment to Ukraine that is needed in case of nuclear war!November 20th aid package includes: “Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear protective equipment”-> Why now?
I’m sure Russia will respond but there’s no point in using an ICBM that has an accepted deviation from target of 150M. If Russia starts using ICBMs then that’s a pretty good indication about their supplies of short and medium range ballistic missiles. It’s not some kind of strategic flex for them to use them to respond to long range missile strikes as the intended effect is the same it just makes everyone think they’re dumb and running low on missiles so they had no choice. As for testing it in combat that makes no logical sense either because apart from a nuclear strike there no point in using it in combat because that’s why they build the Iskander system.Launch it from deep in the taiga… might not be that impractical.

I’m sure Russian telegram trolls were the SOLE reason why this site has gone to DEFCON 3 over the Ukraine conflict before you made an account here.Keep believing to the Russia telegram trolls then.
After 1000 days.

One missile makes a statement. My argument that this could happen is solely based on that. If I were Russia, I would do the least logical thing in response to another red line being crossed. If something doesn’t happen in the next 48 hours, I’ll admit I was wrong, but we just crossed a new threshold.I’m sure Russia will respond but there’s no point in using an ICBM that has an accepted deviation from target of 150M.

The issue is this, is it possible at some point a redline might be crossed that triggers Russia to retaliate with a nuclear strike? Sure absolutely it is a possibility. It would not be a practical or productive responce by Russia. But the constraints and fears the Russian leadership has are not what western leaders normally calculate for. At least one would hope.One missile makes a statement. My argument that this could happen is solely based on that.

Most people put tear gas and other gas on the same level as nerve agents and weaponized virology. Never made much sense to me why non lethal gas is considered as bad as lethal chemical agents. I'd rather get teargassed than get split in two by an FPVThere have been reports of chemical use in the Ukraine theatre.

All of this sounds great, but what happens when NK troops start getting killed? The NK’s were a brilliant move by Putin tactically. Another angle to consider is a few months back Putin gave NK the missile technology to hit DC from the Korean Peninsula. Putin then asked for NK troops on the ground in Ukraine.The issue is this, is it possible at some point a redline might be crossed that triggers Russia to retaliate with a nuclear strike?

Remaining in power vs defending their nation and peoples.
The Russian leadership for the last 30 years has been hostile to NATO because it stipulated Russians admittance to NATO as just another member. They rejected any form of diluted control for Russia.
Right or Wrong.
Will they escalate now? I don’t think so. There is no solid intel they are planning to immediately.
Might they? As I mentioned they might. As I pointed out there calculus for escalation is not completely the same as the west. And I do believe this divergent calculus they use is gaining traction in Russia.
But it is also fair to say almost all of what we’re seeing currently is a disinformation campaign by Russia to sow division.
At some point it might stop being this alone. Unfortunately we likely won’t know when it does. Or maybe we will, who knows.
I personally support direct NATO intervention at this point. While missile launches into Russia targeting supplies might have some effect they are not going to dissuade Putin. They’re just a bandaid to slow the bleed.
NATO troops in contact solely inside Ukraine driving Russians back or fortifying lines are the only thing to stop Russia. Russian leaders are willing to let Russia bleed almost indefinitely. So they will never stop the conventional fight.
So while I don’t take Russias blustering seriously I also don’t take NATO’s bluster and trickle feed approach seriously either
Nothings going to happen in near future. But it is also fair to say the longer this drags on the greater the risk of serious escalation.
"North korean long range precision missile" is not something I would put too much stock in... their track record of successful missile launches are abysmal.All of this sounds great, but what happens when NK troops start getting killed?

The West is now bombing deep inside Russia with top tier weaponry, and the current chatter is that NK troops were killed. It’s possible that Putin is counting on NK firing their new long range precision missile into CONUS. The USA attacks NK instead of Russia, and WW3 begins.
North Korea are the useful idiots on the battlefield now. I think this is a viable strategy unfortunately.
When was the last launch? Quite a while ago. Lots of time to make improvements, or receive advanced tech. “Sure we will send our troops to fight for Russia, but we want missiles to defend against the west.” You’d have to be a fool to think that deal didn’t happen, man."North korean long range precision missile" is not something I would put too much stock in... their track record of successful missile launches are abysmal.
