Walker570 Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 It's amazing how short some memories are. Remember almost 300 innocent passengers being slaughtered by a Russian missile fired from easten Ukraine no doubt with Putins permission. The truck carrying the rocket launcher was filmed scurrying back across the border. If Putin is happy to do this then I fear he is capable of ordering a tactical nuclear hit. If or not those given the orders take action is debatable. I believe sense would prevail because they know there are eight or ten nuclear subs sitting out their ready to respond and then Moscow would be a wasteland.

Not to mention the Litvinenko and Skripal attacks on UK soil, were they not effectively acts of war themselves, we did pretty much nothing in response.

I didn't say three would end the world. I said the UK a line down the centre of Scotland and England with enough power in them would pretty much take us out.

True but I was questioning the post that 100 nuclear bomb's would destroy the world, your claim would depend on the yeild of the bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess it's a case of land mass Vs number and like you say the yield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Apparently they had a few saved for here, maybe time for a new purchase. Unclear if Ballymena's £575000 nuclear bunker still for sale Quote A report released by the Russian government five years ago revealed how 10 nuclear warheads had been aimed at Northern Ireland during the Cold War.

Vince Green Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Society is as fragile as a soap bubble. Putin doesn't have to send over any missiles. All he has to do is cut off the gas supply and Europe will slowly start to collapse. So will their solidarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
