The threat of nuclear armageddon is currently *checks chart* SPICY e: 111 is the default launch code for All The Nukes and, by some insane coincidence, also the current launch code

Quite funny that some people unquestioningly believe the dumb propaganda put out by Putin's government over the past twenty years. "This Russian source said he's a powerful and brave warrior, it must be true!" I mean, all the political cartoons seem to be using those "look what a rugged man of the outdoors he is" topless pictures from a decade and a half ago as a reference.

Always amusing to hear about “decadence” from the usual band of bloated, red faced, wheezing Westminster hacks who have spent years doing 4 bottle of wine lunches, groping their staff and tooting and whoring their way around Pimlico.

And he looked pretty unremarkable even back then, I assumed everyone was just pretending to take those photos seriously.

There were a couple of close calls with nukes during the Cold War and every one of them was stopped by a Soviet officer choosing to ignore orders to launch. Even if the rumours are true and a terminally-ill Putin has decided he would like to take everyone with him when he goes, I have a glimmer of faith in the armed forces not to be quite so stupid. Assuming Russia still has functioning nuclear weapons.

I mean it would obviously be horrible in reality but lol at the idea that Putin presses the big red button and all the creaky old Soviet nukes fall out of the sky after thirty seconds and detonate all over Russia and nowhere else. Ultimate garden rake manoeuvre.

In work today management were openly bragging about a plan to try to hire as many Ukrainian refugee software developers as they can, with both open glee hoping to solve their hiring backlog and a palpable insistence that they were heroically doing great charity work in making such a sacrifice.

Even if the rumours are true and a terminally-ill Putin has decided he would like to take everyone with him when he goes, I have a glimmer of faith in the armed forces not to be quite so stupid. There was never an order to launch that was disobeyed. The three main incidents people mention when talking about the Soviet forces are the consideration, and rejection, of the use of a nuclear-tipped torpedo in the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Petrov incident, when the controller of the Soviet anti-missile radar system correctly diagnosed multiple launch warnings as false alarms, and the RYAN/Able Archer 83 tensions where the USSR fueled all of it's land-based ICBMs and had all of it's airborne weapons on the runways with the weapons active, the closest they ever came to an actual launch of a nuclear weapon. There's always been rumours about two further incidents, one with an accidental ignition of a thankfully unfueled Dead Hand ICBM, and another of a rogue Soviet sub captain being intercepted by his own forces (the latter the inspiration for The Hunt For Red October) but there's basically zero evidence for either and they're almost certainly the military equivalent of urban legends. And Russia *definitely* still has functioning nuclear weapons. The technology really hasn't changed much since the 70s and the Soviets and Russia were never much interested in the ultra-miniaturisation that the US and UK have pursued, they just made the missiles and subs bigger and built more of them instead. Swap out the fissile material every decade or so, make sure the tritium is nice and fresh, they'll run forever. As to launch vehicles - the Russians have been lobbing poo poo into space and getting it where it needs to go for a while now, and again they've generally not gone for as much miniaturisation so their launch vehicles are considerably more reliable than ours (although there's people in Mongolia and Finland who might want to dispute this fact)

Even the danger levels are a dick swinging contest.fuctifino posted:On the subject of the impending nuclear apocalypse, the Western media have translated the Russian word that should have been 'elevated' to 'high', so they are reporting that the nuclear forces are on high alert, while failing to mention that Putin has raised it from the lowest level to the second lowest level. There are still two levels to go.... My erection has gone from CONSTANT to ELEVATED. Any more talk of war and my dick will be MILITARY DANGER or even, literally, FULL
