All employees of the Russian Embassy in London have left?

I think I've found the original source for the tweet but not sure if I’m allowed to link it here?? It’s on 4chan and contains some bad language

I've just got off the phone. We've got about 3 hours until an announcement is going to be made. All of the people from the military and defence attache office in the London Embassy left the country over the last couple of days. Colonel Klimuk left early yesterday morning.

Well, given that this was posted more than 24 hours ago and there still hasn't been any announcement, I think it's fair to call this nonsense.

If it were me, and I knew it was coming, first I'd check the weather and find out how the wind is blowing, then start moving either opposite or perpendicular to the wind. This assure that if you far enough from and nuclear explosion to avoid being an immediate casualty, you have taken steps to also reduce your exposure to fallout. Look at a map, find a small, rural location upwind of any major population centers. Take a route to that destination that ideally avoids big cities.

Even in a limited nuclear exchange, much of humanity can survive if simple common sense steps are taken.

Me? I'm in Tokyo. And I don't have a car. So... I guess pass the vodka.

I can think of one more reason:

From one singular Tweet to Nuclear Apocalypse not a chance.

 

Looking at the Russian embassy page however shows little out of the ordinary. Some embassy officials attending some gallery, etc.

Way to poo poo on the daily doom porn.

Yeah I think so too.. Wow that website is so hard on the eyes! Just reading through and there are quite a few very similar posts, looks like trolling and no-ones taking it seriously even there

Just spoke with a colleague of mine with Russian Embassy connections in London. # is hitting the proverbial fan as we speak. Vladimir Puchkov was in a meeting with Medvedev a few hours ago in Moscow, all of the defence attaches didn't turn up yesterday and EMERCOM are supposedly going to run an "exercise" later in the morning.

Recent news that US is supplying further arms to Ukraine might have been too much for Russia to bear. Now if you were Russia, what would you do? Perhaps Russia might think its a good time to test its nuclear deterrents as a reminder to world that if you want to play with fire make sure you don't get your fingers burnt.

Russia is not the only country with Nuclear weapons.
Within ten minutes of Russia launching any nuclear weapon they would have several fired at them, it's called Mutually Assured Destruction, and it's precisely why both the UK and the US are such close allies. If one of us is hit by Russia (or anyone else) and we are incapacitated in any way, our ally will annihilate them within minutes.

Believe me, if anyone fires a Nuke at anyone else, they too would be bombed back to the stone age.

Do you have faith in Obama doing his duty?

Unless whatever shot down that satellite a couple weeks ago is capable of dropping an ICBM on reentry...

You just turned a semi light hearted thread into one of real terror... No, I do not have confidence in Obama to do a thing but cower in his bunker while we all burn...

How likely is it that every Russian would have been recalled out of most embassies without someone noticing?

If they managed that, then this truly is a Global conspiracy because that's the only way it could be pulled off. Every nation on earth where it happened has to be complicit in not letting the cat out of the bag to warn people.

Yes, actually I do.
It would be almost incredible to imagine that a nation would not retaliate if they were struck by such a weapon. Do you really think any leader would not retaliate? If you've already been hit, you have no choice but to use everything you have to take out the entirety of the enemies capabilities, something which could easily be achieved by the US and allies.

This is all a pretty pointless discussion to have anyway, no one is about to fire any nukes at anyone.

1. There is no evidence I have seen that anything was "shot down"
2. You're stretching the bounds of reality and reason to manufacture a fantasy
3. Regardless of any imaginary weapon being used in a surprise attack, America has allies who would all be ready to jump into their defense (and our own) immediately.

Honestly, and being completely honest here. If I were President, and Russia just launched a full volley against the United States, I would use the Emergency Alert System and issue a statement tell the American people that Nuclear Annihilation was imminent, and that the United States would not be responding with a counter volley. It's a sad situation, but to judge the entirety of Russia guilty for the actions of a few is not what a good person would do. It would my hope that the sacrifice of the United States would open the eyes of the world, that violence is not the answer. That by quietly accepting our fate, a better, more united world can come of this tragedy. And to the Russian people I would say "I do not blame you. I do not blame your friends or family. Fear is what has brought about this event, and hopefully by my gesture of goodwill, of not retaliating, you will see the true benevolence of what is soon to become a formerly great nation. Take up that torch, and demand change to the world. Demand a world without nuclear fire. The United States may be gone, but world, she lives on.

Has anyone in your neck of the woods posted about seeing any unusual activity around the Russian embassy? I was looking through the Russian embassy webpage for travel advisories to the UK, and didn't see anything. I'm curious as to how accurate this twitter post is.

Nah haven't seen or heard anything this side.


I'll update if that changes.

I wasn't being completely serious. I was hypothesizing just like everyone else is about a nuclear attack from Russia.

Easy goes it there...

Granted it wasn't large scale, but EMERCOM did just hold some exercises. Would link but on phone now and hate swapping screens and such.

If everyone believed in mutually assured destruction the US, China and Russia wouldn't have spent billions completing massive underground bunkers. Clearly those making the decision to go to war do so from a deep underground bunker so they not risking their lifes, just ours, the pawns.

a reply to: Rocker2013

Obama has said we could absorb a hit or two in the past.

a reply to: ScientificRailgun

You would WHAT?

You would just sacrifice an entire nation of people?

a reply to: ketsuko

What goal would be accomplished by massive retaliation? Only that the entire world would fall under a Nuclear winter, and would most assuredly mean the extinction of the human race.

By not retaliating, I give humanity a chance to survive.
