>Russia has placed its nuclear arsenal at the center of its strategic approach to this kind of confrontation. According to Western experts, its recent military exercises have relied heavily on what it calls a single “de-escalatory nuclear strike”.
>It’s a very simple – but possibly phenomenally dangerous – concept. The theory is that if Russian forces are engaged with an enemy like NATO, once they have won the conventional battle they would launch a single nuclear strike with the aim of intimidating the West into standing down and accepting the results.
>In major exercises in 2013 that simulated an invasion of one or more of the Baltic states, the scenario appeared to end with a nuclear strike on Warsaw, NATO officials say. More recently – perhaps worrying that such an approach might make a NATO nuclear response inevitable – Russian exercises have tended to target a single purely military target, for example a NATO flotilla of warships.
>A strike like that could kill thousands if not more – and what would happen next is almost impossible to predict. Putin might well hope such an action might fraction NATO, leaving countries hopelessly divided on how to respond. Already, opinion polls suggest German voters in particular would be reluctant to fight to defend NATO allies, while U.S. presidential contender Donald Trump has explicitly questioned the long-term survival and purpose of the alliance.
Reminder that there are still people on Sup Forums who will defend russia.
Russia or China, which one will destroy earth first?
Ethan Harris

I think China.
Those people do not have the concept of "STOP" in her head

Neither, so long as the degenerate west does not fire back :^)

A Policy of one child? Just we have male children! As men can interbreed.
Personally I think China collapsed by wear of the environment and the lack of children.
Bentley Ward
Being a Russian lapdog, do you think there could have been a way that Russia and the west could've gotten along? A less corrupt Jeltzin maybe? Or is the public opinion in Russia so anti-western that any leader that wants to stay in power has to be a strong-man?

Austin Long
If it is known that that is their doctrine, how will that affect the thinking of potential enemies?
It's the state level equivalent of letting others know you will cut the cock off the guy you knocked out. The fact that you might be mental enough to do that will influence others decisions regarding whether to fuck with you.

What's so unbelievable about this? Russia has nukes, if they get into a war they will use them.
Jacob Ward
When the SU fell apart, NATO promised they would not expand East. That was broken fast. There is the military angle.
In Ukraine, the democratially elected government was replaced with nazi style nationalists who proceeded the oppress the Russian speakers. This could not have happened without US support.
When the SU fell apart, the western powers sided with the oligarchs to rob the country blind. This was the cause of the chaos following the collapse. If they had allowed Russia to become a part of the European economy like Polabd was, there would have been peace and prosperity.
In Syria, Assad kept peace and order, but Turkey and the US started to support islamists and worked to prevent Russian support for Assad. Russia has a base there, so this again is a proxy war.

>>a simulated invasion of one or more of the Baltic states That's total bullshit actually. They decided to call it like that because we also trained marines in kaliningrad. But where else should we train them? There were also ones in gar east and north is not that we'll suited for sea training.
Actually, most 2013 biggest exercises were held in Belorussia.
Jose Thomas
How much is the St.Petersburg office paying you?
Carson Clark
No. According to polls 60% are pro-Nato, 30% are pro Russia.
David Price
I actually also can't understand what so awful here. It's stated right in our fucking military doctrine. And for a long time already.
It was never a secret that we would use nukes.
Ayden Rogers
>Annexing Crimea was totes in self defense too, amirite? Yeah, it was. Russia does not want the Baltics, why would it? Crimea is historically Russia and it is the only port they have there. Ukraine was going to, due to US influence, prevent Russia's access to the black sea. This is a move in a proxy war.
It's part of a bigger game where NATO supports nationalists who fuck with the Russian speakers in Eastern Ukraine, in order to bait Russia into an invasion. That would give a pretext for a war.
The same thing with the baltics. There are a few thousand troops there, so that if they manage to bait Russia, NATO has to respond.
Chase White
I would rather see the world as a nuclear wasteland than completely ruled by western yuros or americans and gradually taken over by niggers.
Putin dindu nuffin wrong. If they mess with Baba Rossija more and keep up with the bullying he should flip the killswitch.
This is like bullying the weird kid in class. School shootings exist to keep chads in check. Guess what nukes are for.

that shit should have happened during the cuban missile crisis.

A monopolar world order would be an absolute nightmare. Either complete Russian or complete American world dominance will be horrifying. Just look at what they made out of muh Europe.
If this is the life they want us to live I would rather choose death.

Why Muslims are so hang up on killing Jews? I'm pretty sure their book says something about allowing Christians and Muslims to live as Dhimmis

Oliver Diaz
Because Wahhabis don't give a fuck about what the book says or what the pre-ottoman caliphates did.
Levi Martin
dhimmis are meant to be subjugated though. And kikes used their influence in the western world to shit up the middle east and fuck with every country that stood up against them.
Look at what they did to syria now.

There never was a treaty about how close nato countries could be to russia though.
However there was a treaty called Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances agreed on in 1994 where the very first agreement was that US, UK and russia would respect Belarusian, Kazakh and Ukrainian independence and sovereignty and the existing borders.
Guess who broke this treaty. I'll give you three tries to guess.

China is the only nuclear power that has a no-first-use policy. Whereas both Russia, NATO and Pakistan have a policy of responding to conventional attacks with nuclear strikes. China fucks around with its neighbours, but they do not invade and take over inhabited areas. I trust China a lot more than I trust Russia. Russia is a loose canon. Russia is dangerous.

M8, what they write about military exercises about conquering Baltic states and targeting Warsaw with nukes is total bullshit.
If you read further though, they are getting closer to reality, because the real target would be something military. Like fleet.
