Hillonearth Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 7 minutes ago, MuckleMoo said: I remember years ago reading a book about the Warsaw Pact, and a right dysfunctional group it was....out of the satellite countries, the most reliable and ideologically sound one was East Germany, but the USSR didn't trust them as far as they could shit them cos WW2. At that point - I think it dated from the mid-80s - the Poles and Czechs were assessed as more likely than not to turn 180 degrees and start fighting the Russians if things kicked off, while Hungary was a wild card in as much as they were a bit mince but nobody really knew what they'd do. The Romanians and Bulgarians were viewed as utterly incompetent and unreliable, and likely to take off their uniforms and melt into the background if called upon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Naiive question (yes, I know, kill me now..) for any military gurus on the forum....... If Putin keeps up the nuke rhetoric and keeps on targeting urban / residential areas with battlefield munitions, is there any possibility that his generals / chiefs of staff could just refuse to obey and tell him to GTF? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just some Random on Twitter saying it and I don’t really understand if it is. Will check when I get to the office tomorrow, because I sure as f**k cannot be bothered dealing with work stuff now. It would certainly explain why the Russians submit beneficial owner disclosure requests as often as they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 3 hours ago, The Skelpit Lug said: If you're a despotic megalomaniac who's taken the world to the brink of nuclear war and are pushed out of office, what do you then do in your spare time? Cannae see the after dinner speaking tour offering many gigs. Tony Blair does not bad out of it. 3 hours ago, Detournement said: There is a very informative article about Nuclear weapons in the most recent LRB. It's available to read online for free and is extremely chilling. China was a target in any nuclear engagement even before accquiring nuclear weapons. They were then taken off the target list in the 70s but the article author says there is a new protocol in which they almost certainly feature. The modern day Strangeloves have five first strike options which the President has to choose between if he decides to use nuclear weapons. I thought China were lending and buying their way to world domination. Why blow up what'll be yours in a few years anyway. If he stops soon I'll forgive Mr Putin for destabilising the world, but not for rattling @WATTOO's cage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
