Putin’s nuclear bluff: There’s ’no conceivable situation’ where nukes helps him win

- “Some mad combiantion of circumstances might lead Russia to do something suicidal, but there’s no military utility to it.”
Putin’s blabbering about red lines and nukes is a bluff, because there’s no chance it will help him win his war, says Keir Giles, senior consulting fellow with the Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House.

We do have excellent shovels 👍
Ukranian trolls are all at the front already 😂
We must continue to pray for them. I heard from a source that they were on 1 rouble a word and 1 potato a day !! Jeez.
That action makes Putin look like a terrified little school girl , not a " strong man "
no it deosnt it shows you cannot stop his missiles
@@goonerboz6023 Ru definitely cant stop ours Ivan 🤣
@@goonerboz6023
No, it shows Putin is out of ideas. And a few missiles is nothing to what NATO can rain down on his head…
You're probably gonna keep saying that even after your city is destroyed
His 'expiry date' is rapidly approaching.
The U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on over 50 Russian banks, 40+ securities registrars, and 15 Russian finance officials, including Gazprombank. OFAC also warned about the risks of joining Russia’s financial messaging system used to evade sanctions.
And as a result, Russia became stronger. Thanks for the sanctions!
And it did'nt work.
There is more billionaires in Moscow than any other city in the world, there second country with the most gold over last few weeks the got ritch fast , all signs of a war
@@DimitryrubyRUS You can of course explain your conclusion - inflation in Russia is approaching 10% while interest rates are above 20% - sanctions are tightening - and all this is making Russia stronger?
Wierd analysis or lack of one
@philipmain5701 Everything is opposite to realty to a russian. A desperate bankrupt collapsing country with a goblin as their supreme unelected muppet leader. They must be very proud of their inhumane murdering sick society.
They don't have to use nuclear weapons to make a statement to the American people and the British people and the French people and the German people.
Noone Cares.
Russian missile launch will not have a deterrent effect on Washington's policy toward Ukraine, - White House. ❗The US will continue to allocate new weapons packages to Ukraine and work to speed up their delivery
It will not change the course of this war and it's outcome : the complete Russian victory ...
It seems to me that Trump thinks differently. And his inauguration is just a few weeks away.
@@francescogalesso1880 trump will be the Chamberlain of 2025. I.e. one of the worst cowards in history who betrays all principles of he submits to Putin...
Here's 50 cents wumao@@sylvestrelauriotprevost
Why do people assume Putin is rational at this point? There is no reason to.
Why assume he's not? No reason to either.
He's more rational than he's ever been. He's already won conventionally. He's just waiting for Trump to put a surrender map to the Ukrainians. China is the problem then in 28. And why not. No one is coming to save Taiwan.
If he cant win he will do as much damage as possible
What about Biden escalating to make life difficult for Trump
😂😂 he will win
@@peterrudolph4099 Dont worry Trump will deport your farm workers so your economy will be worse than now.

IT'S PRONOUNCED NEWCLEAR, NOT NUCULAR - WHY CAN'T PEOPLE GET IT RIGHT?
I don’t care what it’s called it could destroy us all
Russian Bot above me XD
That's such great news! We can be in relief knowing that Putin will never escalate the war to that level.
Don't hold your breath, the dictator is a certified madman. Any rational analysis has to reflect that complete madness....
So if Russia lands bombs on US soil what are we going to do differently?
They wouldn't dare
Did you forget the US has 4,500 nukes
@@ChuckyRed06Russia has always been self destructive in their behavior and honestly I'm surprised that they allow the USSR to collapse without taking everything else down with themselves.

Theyve just launched a new icbm, and they've tested nukes in past .... this is so dumb not to know
you want to test ?
@@mzaf2247 1: Russia hasn’t tested in 35 years. 2: Warheads require round-the-clock maintenance to keep functioning, and the last people who knew how disappeared with the Soviet Union. 3: This is the very first time this new missile has actually flown. Many recent satellite pictures exist of big craters where launch pads used to be. 4: Stop eating the bait.
The Anglos still love to think they are serious players but look at the mess the UK is in and that should tell Beardo that his thinking is so out of date
The UK has finally got a serious government again, and even the brexiters are beginning to admit the brexit fiasco was a mistake. The UK is in a better position than many countries.
Yes push push untill you get
Is that you begging Putin to push it in harder? xD
Someone who is actually talking sense
Was Mr Putin being exhausted or disgusted with the capacity of conventional warheads so that he longed for nuclear warheads?? 🤔
Bots are on fire this evening.
Media silence after US embassy evacuation , yea , no need to worry
Well the cowardly magas will certainly run away completely .
It's been covered a lot already.
There's no media silence, it was all over the media. Are you spreading misinformation??
Definitely noticeable how media are not reporting it at all...
@@Scotmend it’s been covered but considering the evacuation and a controlled explosion very few media outlets have reported it
Only if he figures he is going down and wants to take the world with him.
Like Biden a corrupt old fool
And his own children?
He can't take whole world with him. You are seriously overestimating Russian nuclear arsenal. They have maybe 5 percent of what they claim they have.
@@michaelmyers7290Russia has always been a brutal and paranoid country so it would actually be more surprising if they weren't willing to sacrifice everything to avoid humiliation
Everybody enjoyed the light show and know that putin is very much impotent.
Ukraine is more than a match for him, and it's less than 1/3 of the size of Russia and has no nukes. Putin is impotent.
I don't think China's heart is really in this. I might be wrong, but just a hunch....
China keeps telling him to cool it. The Chinese are fed up with his antics to.
@@bobohare4825 Too not to. Think.
@@eightiesmusic1984 Yes. "Too". Unfortunately I can't correct comments after they've been posted. Thanks all the same.
@@bobohare4825 Of course you can!
You need to understand China's motive, which are purely economics. They will use Russia as long as possible for their own economic benefits.
It will likely be Ukraine rather than the west that feels the consequences of the Russian response. Meanwhile all the Ukranians got were a handful of missiles that will do nothing to change the tide of the battle.
No bluff real is It
Are you Yoda?
It's unlikely. Use your brain.

No, but they help him lose. That’s the problem.
Pure MADness.....

It's not that I don't agree with you, it's just that Putin might be senile enough to launch the nukes.
@@ashwinpokhrel7809 It's the military that control them you have to worry about. Putin can't just push a button.
@@sylvestrelauriotprevost Emojie kid will be the first to hide under his bed if it happens.
😂FAFO, NATO!!! You've been warned.
For the truth must read the book "Exposing Putin's Lies"
Putin is literally throwing the toys out of his pram...
The significance of Russia's new weapon is not that it can carry nuclear warheads. Russia already has lots of nuclear missiles and the MAD principle still holds.
It's that it can be used as a conventional weapon with a range of a few thousand miles. So it can hit targets in European countries who are supplying weapons to Ukraine. Like the UK for example.
I think it would take a lot more provocation to make Russia do this but this is what they are threatening. Because it is ballistic it probably could not be stopped (unlike cruise missiles).
But they won’t do that. You really think Putin is going to attack a NATO country? Really?
Lol all these peoples pretend they're tough won't even try to go fight against putin and face nukes
If he knows he can’t win then that’s surely the reason why he can make sure nobody wins.!!
He will win ONLY if the West surrenders just because of his threats. If we keep laughing at his fake lies and threats he will lose.
We have to decide if Ukraine is worth a limited nuclear exchange with Russia. Imagine if the Vietcong in 1965 were to launch Russian made missiles at the United States. Manned and programmed by Russians and guided by Russian satellites. How would we have responded?
We had actual antiwar hippies then so we may have been demanded to surrender!
@@TomSherwood-z5l That was before Hole In My Shoe by Neil from The Young Ones made it to number 2 in the UK chart in 1984 at the height of Cold War fear. Not to mention Two Tribes by FGTH, t shirts bearing the legend Frankie Says No More War and Threads putting the fear of god into everyone. Culture actually played its part in society then. Neil was a hippy albeit a fictional representation.
Bluffing is a term used when gambling. So these people, who have got nothing right so far, are gambling with the end of humanity. Even if there's a 1% chance, why ever take that risk?
Why indeed - so why does Russia use this rhetoric?
you don't get the message. The point is that once you bought it it will be using against you again and again. And at some point you will be forced to say enough anyway. Avoiding escalation, showing weakness is the way to invite escalation later when the cost will be much higher. You cannot be intimidated by that thread otherwise you will be on the loosing side each time someone talking about NW. The other side should remember that the U.S., France and Britain also have NW and should not tempting their fate either.

So the West should just sit by and let Russia annex any country they want? Either we poke now, or wait until Russia is holding Western Europe hostage as well.
What was it we were told years ago though. About the Russians and Soviets. They do not share our own values and do not think like we do, so drawing conclusions based on what we would do is a fallacy. All sides of this conflict are full of bull droppings and I really cannot be sure of what is the truth.

There is one. He could make a direct threat to drop a nuclear warhead on a specific Ukrainian city by a specific deadline, in return for unilateral Ukrainian surrender. Like, "Sign these surrender documents and allow us to advance into Kiev by January 10th or a nuke hits Lviv.". Since it's not a threat against NATO, it wouldn't trigger article 5. Nor could Ukraine credibly escalate the war to forestall that.
What would happen, if Mexico would enter the Russian Federation and Russia would start sending in troops and ABM missiles and train thousands of soldiers in Mexico. And of course then China comes too and both declare "MEXICO is free to get access to nukes." The US would level Mexico the next day.
The us has not invaded Mexico .
