What would you do if you were Putin and Russia?
Senior Russian military personnel must have shown Putin the relative strengths of NATO’s defensive and offensive capabilities – how much they have left after they have severely depleted their arsenals by deploying them to Ukraine.
These advisors have probably also provided estimates for retaliatory strikes – should NATO start bombing deep inside Russia using Ukraine as the “button pusher”.
The advisors will have tole Putin how many American, Canadian, UK and European cities are completely unprotected by missile defence systems.
Will Putin consider hypersonic missile attacks on both cities in NATO countries as well as defence bases?
Will h use “first strike” nuclear weapons on NATO countries in some sort of pre-emptive manner?
F course, I have no clue on capabilities of either side or their existing defence capabilities on population centres or “flagship” buildings like parliamentary buildings in Brussels, Paris, Berlin, the Hague, Amsterdam, Madrid etc – or the level of defences present on major military bases within NATO or Russia,
The deployment of thousands of Russian paratroopers air dropped into staging posts along the supply routes to Ukraine – such as Poland – are, hopefully off the table.
Such is escalation. Ukraine successfully invaded Russia with a surprise attack!
We don’t hear any reports of conscription in Russia, activating a few million men.
Heaven forbid the 10 million military aged men that have already invaded the US – with the same number in the EU and a few million int the UK – aren’t part of some grand master plan to overthrow NATO in favour of a on world UN government!
I have a sneaking suspicion that Russia has better defences, but that NATO is putting in missile batteries close to strategic assets.
Right now, Zlensky is putting plans before the UN Security Council – and NATO is assuming that Russia will not act.
Ne can hope that Iran does not strike Israel at the same time as China strikes Taiwan and Russia strikes NATO.
What do you think?
Onwards!!!

If I were Putin
1) I would turn to the Almighty God Jehovah, the Creator, life-giver and TRUE King of this whole world.
2) I would pray to Jehovah God for his guidance, wisdom and direction.
3) I would sue for peace.
All nations SHOULD do this!
I think Russia has very little choice. If missiles are authorized to strike deeply into Russia, they must return fire to protect themselves.
As Greg noted, however, word has surfaced that Austin/Pentagon have delivered two ultimatums to Biden.
(1) They told Israel that they will not join them in fighting Hezbollah or Iran unless they initiate war on Israel.
(2) They completely refused long-range missiles into Russia.
I hope this report is factual and true.
If Europe somehow manages, via UK, to send long-range missiles into Russia, then Europe and UK must suffer the consequences. I'm appalled at their eagerness to initiate this conflict with Russia, and quite honestly, if they suffer from their own actions, I will have very little sympathy. They appear completely disassociated from reality.
Westenra has linked Dr. Busby's comments that cold fusion nukes exist and that they may have been used by Israel in Lebanon and Ukraine in Russia (the huge explosions seen). Perhaps these "tactical" nukes will be used.
I have no sympathy for Europe or England--except the innocent people who don't support these policies and will likely suffer. If the situation comes to such a point, I only ask selfishly that van der Leyen, Schwab, Starmer, and the rest of war-mongering tribe be taken out. Russia would be doing the world a favor.
