 President Vladimir Putin lowered Russia’s threshold for the use of nuclear weapons, a move whose timing appeared designed to show the Kremlin could respond aggressively to Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory with U.S. missiles.

 They are going to fuck things up, aren't they? 
 Full nuke not yet, but a dirty bomb may be on the way  
 I dont think we are going to nuklear war anytime soon. at least i hope we are not. 
 Nuclear terror is outsourced 
 Hot take..

The russians nuclear capabilities are overstated and maybe far less of a threat.
Somehow NATO/US know it and are just egging them to show their hand. 

I hope we never test that theory but I'm starting to wonder.

If a full Nuclear exchange were remotely possible, surely we wouldn't risk it.... right?


>.... RIGHT?! 
 That's the idea behind mutual destruction capabilities  
 But I mean, we've stayed alive this long with Nukes.

We know that the other side has the power to end everything.
So.. the only logical explaination is that they know that the Russians won't call their bluff.

I hope its not the alternative.

Time for more weed.
