I cant believe this "don't mess with a nuclear Russia" comment. What is this 1958 or some sh*t. What a stupid and irresponsible to say this day and age. What he going to do? Fire some nukes off if anyone messes with him? Talk about a terrorist.
MOSCOW, Aug 30 (Reuters) - A Russian politician said on Saturday he had been badly beaten after publicising the mysterious funerals of two soldiers who may have died while fighting in Ukraine.
Lev Shlosberg, a newspaper publisher who represents the liberal opposition Yabloko party in the regional assembly in the northwestern city of Pskov, said he was attacked on Friday evening near his home.
"They attacked me from behind, I did not see any of them," Shlosberg said in a phone interview from his hospital ward.
"Apparently, they knocked me unconscious with their first punch, threw me to the ground, beat me up and then ran away. Those people were very good professionals in their nasty business."
Shlosberg's paper published the investigation into the funerals of two Pskov-based paratroopers last week. The report added to a trail of evidence suggesting that Russian soldiers have been killed in eastern Ukraine, contradicting denials by Moscow that it is lending military support to separatist rebels there.

This also means that if NATO gets involved in Ukraine and declares war against Russia, then Western Europe will be bombed beyond repair.
On paper Russia has 1500 odd nuclear missiles but as to how many they have in secret storage etc. is anybody's guess. Given the way Russians like to do things, I would add another 1500 to the number.
Also, Putin has already called 1 Million reserves in August to end "new weapons" training by October. This shows he has further plans if Kremlin is provoked by anyone.
A united Europe.
The EU / US working together.
Non aligned countries seeking to join NATO.
NATO bases / troops being deployed in NATO countries with direct borders with Russia. Sanctions on Russia (he counted on merkel to run pass block, which she did not).
Wanting the EU / US to stay out of Russian affairs in foreign countries.

What would happen if Putin were to be eliminated? It seems the bulk of Russian expansionist dreams are more his than the Russian people.
Would Russia still be on it's current aggressive path or would it work on domestic issues? Personally, I think the world would be better off without Putin in the equation. Russians that I know left Russia because they feared what their country was becoming under Putin, those fears seem justified.
I'm curious as to what the ATS community thinks what would happen in a world without Putin.
