Another day, another threat of nuclear retaliation against the West by Putin.

Realistically, if Russia were to launch missiles against European capitals, how long a warning would the inhabitants get? What about North America (USA, Canada)?

Does NATO have the capability of in-flight interception? Or other defense mechanisms?

How deep underground is safe to protect against a modern nuclear blast?

Stay safe y’all.

      What?

      Did you forget about all the stuff with Putin likely being terminal and that’s why he took the risk to invade Ukraine?

      If that psycho is really dying, and his last wish is to bring Ukraine back to Russia to rebuild an empire…

      Eventually he’ll win or he’ll use nukes.

      He doesn’t give a fuck about anything except his legacy. If it can’t be for unifying Russia, it’ll be for going out for n a blaze of “glory”.

      You’re forgetting a lot of nuclear armed countries are being run by insane people.

          You’re right, and additionally he can’t just decide to use them unilaterally. Launching those nukes would take a bunch of egotistical, self-centered sociopaths all deciding to commit suicide together.

            Or it just takes a chain of people that have been watching Russian state controlled news since they learned to walk.
