I thought that given you've started quite a number of threads in this sub-forum you might be able to answer a basic straight question.There's a limit to how many times you can answer the same question, not to mention a limit to the number of times you can carry on asking it across multiple threads.
What do you imagine you're gaining or achieving?
The Russian leadership openly threatens the world with its ability to use nuclear weapons, backed by the clear calls to do so by the Russian state media.
For the first time in history, civil nuclear facilities have been turned into military targets and springboards for the Russian army in breach of the non-proliferation provisions on peaceful use of nuclear energy.
The world witnesses how nuclear terrorism, sponsored by the nuclear-weapon state, is arising in reality.
The robust joint actions are needed to prevent nuclear disaster at global scale. We ask to close the sky over the nuclear power plants in Ukraine. To provide air defence systems.
Global community need to prove by deeds that aggressor cannot remain utterly safe and unpunished because it possesses nuclear arms.
Of course they’re supplying intelligence, and have done since before the war when the build up of the invasion force was first identified. There’s spy planes up over the Black Sea constantly. Not news and not some dangerous escalation or immoral act. The fact Russia is pissing and moaning about it now is because the long-range strikes are causing significant disruption to their murdering. They can always go home if it’s too much like hard work carrying on.Russia accuses US of direct involvement in Ukraine war over intelligence
Russia has accused the United States of direct involvement in the Ukraine war after claims the US was sharing targeting intelligence with Ukrainian forces.
Russia said it was responding to comments by Vadym Skibitsky, Ukraine’s deputy head of military intelligence, about the way Kyiv used US-supplied long-range Himars rocket launch systems based on what he called excellent satellite imagery and real-time information.
Skibitsky had said in an interview with a British newspaper that there was consultation between US and Ukrainian intelligence officials before strikes, and that Washington had an effective veto on intended targets, though he said US officials were not providing direct targeting information.
Russia’s defence ministry said the interview showed that Washington was directly involved despite repeated assertions that it was limiting its role in the conflict to arms supplies because it did not want a direct confrontation with Moscow.
“All this undeniably proves that Washington, contrary to White House and Pentagon claims, is directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine,” the Russian defence ministry said in a statement.
“It is the Biden administration that is directly responsible for all Kyiv-approved rocket attacks on residential areas and civilian infrastructure in populated areas of Donbas and other regions, which have resulted in mass deaths of civilians,” the defence ministry said.
Reuters reports there was no immediate reaction to the defence ministry’s allegations from the White House or Pentagon.
Russia’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, is additonally quoted by the RIA Novosti news agency as saying “No other confirmation of the direct involvement of the United States in the hostilities on the territory of Ukraine is required. The supply of weapons is accompanied not only by instructions on its use, but in this case they perform the function of gunners in their purest form.”

Relations with Belarus “must not be aggravated because it also means aggravating relations with the Union State of Belarus and Russia that has nuclear weapons”, he said.If god forbid some serious provocation against Belarus happens, our targets have been locked in. Decision-making centers. We know them.
Belarus does not have its own nuclear weapons but is an ally of Russia and has allowed its territory to be used for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.If they start making problems, Belarus may be worse off but the answer will be instantaneous.
“Any Russian attempts at practical steps in the use of tactical nuclear weapons must be pre-empted by employing the entire arsenal of means at the disposal of world powers,” he added. “After all, starting from this moment, the Russian Federation will become not only a threat to the peaceful coexistence of Ukraine, its neighbours, and a number of European countries but also a truly global-scale terrorist state.”Another factor is the direct threat of the use by Russia, under certain circumstances, of tactical nuclear weapons.
Battles on the territory of Ukraine have already demonstrated how much the Russian Federation neglects the issues of global nuclear security even in a conventional war.
… It is hard to imagine that even nuclear strikes will allow Russia to break Ukraine’s will to resist. But the threat that will emerge for the whole of Europe cannot be ignored. The possibility of direct involvement of the world’s leading powers in a ‘limited’ nuclear conflict, bringing closer the prospect of World War 3, cannot be completely ruled out either.”

Belarusian planes ready to carry nuclear weapons, says President Lukashenko
The Belarusian president, Alexander Lukashenko, has said his country’s SU-24 warplanes have been re-fitted to carry nuclear armaments.
According to the Belarusian state-owned news agency Belta, Lukashenko said he had previously agreed the move with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
Belarus is ready to respond to “serious provocation” from the west instantly, Lukashenko warned.
He said:
Relations with Belarus “must not be aggravated because it also means aggravating relations with the Union State of Belarus and Russia that has nuclear weapons”, he said.
He added:
Belarus does not have its own nuclear weapons but is an ally of Russia and has allowed its territory to be used for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Russia-Ukraine war: EU to hold urgent talks over Russian ‘energy war’; Ukraine announces mandatory evacuations – as it happened
I admire the confidence of armchair experts, know-nothings and nobodies throughout this war, that this thing has no chance of escalating disastrously. In particular, their certainty when it comes to the state of the Russian nuclear arsenal. Surely some of them must have infiltrated the weapons sites themselves? And all in time to get back for tea and their Twitter activism.Crossing a red line in a way that's different to all the other don't cross this red lines they've threatened? Tbh short of starting a global nuclear war there's nothing they can do, and they're not going to do that, and might not even be able to do that given what state their military seems to be in.
Anyway, another cut and paste, from where, The Guardian again?
The Ukrainian government seems not to think a complete retreat is a given.Russia shake sabers whilst retreating
we are not a paper tiger please like us china

Yes, it's from the Guardian. I don't think they're making the quote up.
Some people like to think of themselves as speaking truth to power. I think of myself as speaking truth to twats. Often fairly pleasant, well-meaning twats, but twats nonetheless.You really come across as such an arrogant and unpleasant dick you know? I do hope you're not such a nasty old cunt in real life or you must be quite lonely.
it's a lot less challenging.Some people like to think of themselves as speaking truth to power. I think of myself as speaking truth to twats.
I don't recall saying Ukraine was fucked, whatever that means.of course you did start out as Ukraine was fucked months ago
now you saying Russia is going to nuke then
whilst they are blowing up dams to completely fuck up info structure
they stopped caring about their pro Russia Ukrainian friends
have some grace ffs
The US president refused to elaborate on what the US would do if Putin did take things that far.Don’t. Don’t. Don’t. You will change the face of war unlike anything since World War II.
They’ll become more of a pariah in the world than they ever have been. And depending on the extent of what they do will determine what response would occur.
Maybe you should include sources for your endless cut and pastes here. Failure to do so will see the posts removed.Maybe you should have some grace and post something halfway coherent.
In the latest instance, there is a little blue CBS news thing, which not only makes it clear where the item is from but,if you click on it takes you to the article/clip.Maybe you should include sources for your endless cut and pastes here. Failure to do so will see the posts removed.
You just add the link to the bottom of the article like everyone else does. I'm fed up seeing your unattributed cut and paste jobs.In the latest instance, there is a little blue CBS news thing, which not only makes it clear where the item is from but,if you click on it takes you to the article/clip.
This usually happens when you cut-and-paste from the Guardian and elsewhere, but occasionally it doesn't. I don't know why. I'm the victim in all this; a lost soul in a turbulent sea of limitless, unfathomable technology.
