The video... oh yep the MIRVs over Dnipro. It does not add anything to what we already know, other than Putin is ok to waste an 18 million medium range multi-head ballistic missile to make a point. It does not change anything. Everyone know they have these, everyone knows the consequences of using them ... for both sides.

Not true, now we know for sure their missiles (unlike UK ones) actually work.
So it actually adds pretty important info for ignorant western propaganda victims

BTW, from Russia to UK, with love:

It does not add anything. Nobody assumes that 100% of the Ruzzian nuclear arsenal will not work or that it would not reach European cities, that is just food for idiots. Just as it is idiotic to think that the West does not hold an equivalent power.

Branko, you have been saying that UK nuclear weapons do not work for like 10 posts? The answer is not going to change: UK has submarine based nuclear weapons. These are made in the US, they are Trident missiles but if you want the full argument...

1. It is of the outmost desperation to hope that UK they do not work when needed (based on tests that failed - tests, not real use). But you also have the French (290 warheads, intercontinental and submarine based - well tested) and well... the US.

2. It is of the outmost desperation to hope that there would be no NATO response. And it would not be a nuclear response, because NATO can cause an equivalent level of devastation with conventional weapons (not my word, "devastation".

3. There is no way the West can back up from action based on a nuclear threat for two reasons: (a) Ruzzia would have carte blanche for further invasions and (b) the West does have the capability to strike back. There is no reasonable doubt about it.

4. Escalation occurs when there is something to win from it. Ruzzia has little to win by escalating to nuclear weapons, but has a lot to lose from it, hence, Putin has not escalated because he is a Mafia leader, but not completely stupid.
