The launch of a nuclear balisic missile would detected almost immediately. This looks like a very power explosion.

Some good points.
But i think the real test will be when Russia trys the same strategy in a weak NATO country to test article 5.
Then it will be interesting to see how the likes of Merkel and Hollande respond.
Between self interest and commitments to NATO.

We know who to blame for the fiasco in Ukraine, we even know how much it cost.
Really, the same tired old pro-Russian BS is still being muttered on ATS? You disappoint me.
This doesn't even deserve a response, because you're the equivalent of teenager wanting a p*ssing contest.
My quest for world domination is somewhat stunted by my reluctance to get my behind out of bed in the morning and walk the dog without tripping over his lead.
Yes actually, as I pointed out in my post the situation is remarkably similar to what Hitler did. In fact, numerous observers around the world have commented on the remarkable similarities between Hitler and Putin and their actions with respect to solidifying support in their own country and then invading another. Putin seized the largest media companies in Russia from their rightful owners who then had to flee the country - Hitler did the same. Putin attacks all differences from race to sexuality in an effort to appease the religious and empower the violent and ignorant Nationalists - Hitler did the same. Putin invaded another country under the pretext of "defending Russian speakers" - Hitler did the same...
I tell you what, when the USA invades Canada and starts killing people while pretending they're "rebels" I'll come back an apologize. Until then, you have absolutely no argument.
No, you want to claim that the USA is the "mastermind" behind events in Ukraine, trying to convince us that the US managed to convince hundreds of thousands of UKRAINIAN people to march against their corrupt pro-Russian puppet leader. You want to claim that the snipers were American, and you want to claim that everything was "orchestrated" by foreign powers. The reality, of course, is that this is conspiracy theory BS, with no evidence to back it up, and no plausibility.

Obama will back down so fast, he'll trip over his own feet.
He's proven to be a bag of wind and that's all he'll ever be. He'll still be planning a strategy when Putin walks in the front door of the White House and kicks him out of his chair.
Very childish post indeed! Obama, in my reading is a "no war" president. He finished off two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and provided only air force help in Libya, did not escalate in Syria and is using only sanctions in Ukraine.
Why should US get involved in Ukraine? Even in ME against ISIS, US should only be involved in name only. Local air forces of Saudi (#5 in global rank), UAE, Jordan are more than sufficient to conduct bombings on the ISIS locations.
Hats off to Obama for playing it wisely in "war theater" geopolitics. Bottomline, is Obama being black is hard to be appreciated by people an that is a fact of life sadly.
Any ways, well done Mr. O on several issues !!

You don't think that there is anyone stupid enough to push that big red button? Look at the state of the world as it stands and then reconsider that notion.

I would imagine most posters know by now that the large explosion on Sunday in Donestk was artillery fire hitting a chemical plant, no nuke, mini or otherwise, no MOAB or any other form of fuel air bomb, although the consequence of the artillery shells gave a good impression of a MOAB.
Will Russia and the US ever truly go to war? It depends on what type of war you mean. Both countries are currently engaged in a form of economic war, and Putin, probably now views the sanctions as payment for the Ukraine, and may well feel entitled to flatten the country into submission. Not through all-out war, but by attrition.
Moscow views the the concept of the NWO as unsuitable for Russia. They'll be some aspects it would like to take on, but submission to foreign minds and voices will not benefit Russia at all, if indeed it will benefit any country?
Something has to be done. The delegation that went to Moscow was probably doing the bidding of the NWO, to see if Putin is ready to see sense, but he would have had conditions of his own. Meanwhile, the Ukraine continues to be bombarded.
There is no way Putin can allow the Ukraine to sneak under the NATO umbrella, and I do not doubt for a second that he will go to war over the country, if necessary. In fact, he has two reasons why war with the US might be inevitable, one is the Ukraine, and the other are the sanctions.
Putin knows that while the sanctions remain in place, he and Russia get weaker, while the West remains impervious with impunity to what Putin will view as the West's fault. He is playing a waiting game, because he knows the West can only maintain sanctions up to a point, where Russia might start to destabilise and spiral towards utter economic collapse. That is the point the West is waiting and watching for. At that point, Putin will lash out as he will have nothing to lose, and Russian propaganda will ensure the Russian people fully understand that it was all the West's fault. So if the West thinks it can take down Russia (which it can), Russia will certainly take a massive chunk of the West (especially America) with it...which it can, be under no illusion.
Putin will not go down and leave America intact and as strong as ever. He will weaken American military so that a massive mainland invasion could take place by other countries not favourable to America. Europe won't be around to back America up, as what Europeans remain surviving will be wandering around a wasteland of radiated rubble, diseased corpses, and totally dazed and confused.
Putin will certainly ensure that many of America's big cities will be taken out, and you are talking tens of millions of people. Of course, Russia will no longer exist, but they will have done the job. Just to ensure further, America's loneliness, a few well-placed Russian nukes on Canada, will keep them busy and well-occupied for a few years.
Basically, the point being made here, is that some countries should never go to war with each other. Russia and America being the main two.
Russia is quite capable of destroying the USA, something you may have overlooked in your quest for world domination.
