They probably got a few in the hospitality packages if nothing else. There's unconfirmed reports of a Ukrainian minelayer being active in the area over the last few days, too.

It's normal for people to freak out when a nuclear power is in a war that's going kinda poorly. I don't think it's the most likely scenario rn, to understate a bit. I mean we don't even know if the halting / withdrawal thing actually happened.

I may be fooling myself but it's not like Putin has a "nuke" button on his desk that just instantly fires missiles. If he lost it enough to order that, the people below would still have to agree to carry it out and it's hard for me to imagine the generals thinking yeah, let's end Russia and/or civilization over Putin being butthurt that Ukrainians aren't greeting them as liberators. I would think that order would more likely end with no more Putin than an launch. Here's hoping we don't have to find out, anyway. E: I'm thinking about when the people under Nixon decided he was too erratic and they wouldn't follow orders to use nukes in Vietnam and hoping there are Russians doing the same.

I'm assuming the rank and file Russian troops have been on a complete media blackout and have no idea what's about to happen to their economy but I'm sure most of the brass must be getting the sense that perhaps Russia is heading straight for an iceberg and their captain is ordering the ship to speed up.

I would think that order would more likely end with no more Putin than an launch. Kind of been wondering the same. If Vlad orders a general to open up the canned sunshine over Kyiv, or anywhere else for that matter, I wonder if his generals would carry out the order, or if someone would step up and put him down. And in that case, who takes his place? Who's to say his successor wouldn't be someone who looks at Putin's legacy and thinks that he was too soft? I'm worrying about second- and third-order effects. Russia's strategic position is going to be worse no matter what the immediate outcome of its war of choice in Ukraine is, and I worry about how they'll react in weeks to come. I'm not some person freaking out because they read a Reddit post about nook-u-ler war, but I also think that we're on pretty uncharted ground right now with no clear outcomes visible. Not gonna hype BAF and I's dumb little doomsday prepper's thread anymore than it has been in the past few pages, but I'm going to Costco tomorrow and buying more dog food and taking out some cash to put in my safe. I live in DC anyhow, if nukes start flying I'm hopefully dead in the opening milliseconds of what will be the world's shortest and worst war.

It's a shame because when I was a kid there were a few other real big targets here so my whole area was just going to be loving saturated with nukes. Wouldn't matter if there were duds. Now there's really just the one target.
