    EDIT: apparently the average Lemming is a thick, slow, ignorant, moron who doesn’t understand the concept of nuclear war, so I’ll spell it out for you in as few words as possible… Dictator = sociopath. Nuclear war = psycho. EVERYONE DIE. Triggering nuclear war = dumb cunt… Get it?


    Your bravado is dumb and reckless as fuck. Cornering a sociopath like Putin is exactly what will start a nuclear war; when his dictatorship is collapsing around him and he has nothing else to lose, but still controls the chain of command. A nuclear war with Russia, even if most of their nukes fail, will still result in tens of millions dying, as a best case scenario.

    Like it or not, nukes mean we can only really contain those dictators within their borders and try to turn their people against them. The best case scenario is that less extreme generals overthrow him, but history has taught us (especially Russian history) that is unlikely. When he dies, maybe someone less megalomaniacal will take over.
