Russia has announced military exercises near Ukraine that will include deployment drills of tactical nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, six were reported killed in a drone strike on Russia’s Belgorod.

Haven’t NATO forces been doing something similar recently? At least I’ve heard of a UK sub failing to launch a missile in a test recently.
I get it that this is saber rattling, but these tests are ideally regular so everyone - both you and your enemies - know your nukes work. I wonder if Russia’s nukes work? I wonder if they are wondering that too?
Even if half of Russias nukes don’t work they still have enough to destroy the entire planet 10 times over. People like Macron need a reminder why threatening a ground invasion is a bad idea.
To be honest, if France put soldiers into Ukraine, you could make the same argument the other way.
Continuing the war against Ukraine is a very bad idea since France has nukes, and they might do tactical strikes against Russian formations, so it’s better to get out of France’s way. France has enough nukes to destroy the planet 10 times over, or at least enough to destroy Moscow 100 times over, for sure.
Either way, people should stop killing people, Russian soldiers should stay in Russia.
Where is France threatening to invade exactly? I thought they’d talked about troops in Ukraine.
Can you “invade” a country that’s begging for your help? The Russians are there despite Ukrainians wanting them dead, the French would have a warm reception and gratitude.
Seems like an intentionally misleading way to phrase it.
France putting boots on the ground is a red line for Russia and is a declaration of war. It would mean two nuclear powers are now officially at war and you know how fast things can escalate.
No body is threatening Russian soil. Grow up.
Yes they are lol, Jesus how ignorant can you be.
Damn watch me ruin this man’s whole career.
Ok so you were incorrect when you said France was threatening an invasion then.
On whose ground exactly?
And the Russkies need a reminder that good ol’ US of A also has several thousand nukes and is ready and willing to use them. First and second strike. Proud SSBN submariner, ready to launch when ordered. HOOYAH AMERICA. KILL THE BEAR.
If you’re so eager to die then go enlist and fight in Ukraine pussy.
Huh? Checks Woozy’s profile Oh. Well that makes sense.
A constant problem on Lemmy.
Lmao, enlist? Vatnik, I’m already in the goddamn Navy of the United States of America, what the fuck do you think “SSBN submariner” means? And don’t worry, vatnik, when I engage in combat, you’ll know - when the sun rises several thousand times across your sorry excuse of a nation.
I was born and live in America, funny that you are against Russia invading countries but have no problem invading countries yourself. You’re a murder for hire. You are the worst kind of human being.
Sure you were, Ivan. You get extra potato. What? I did what you said, enlist in NATO forces. Aren’t ya proud, silly little vatnik?
Another thread on this community and yet another Hexbear Tankie brigade spreading disinformation…
Explains why this thread is nothing but tumbleweeds for me. Blocking Hexbear was the best decision I’ve made on Lemmy.
Unfortunately one of those things that does not work on kbin / mbin yet. I’ve not seen it this heavily outside of this specific community though. Fairly recently another article was basically ~12 out of 25 or so comments from hexbear accounts. Maybe all the other instances who host the other news communities just defederated from them and that’s why I don’t see them.
It’s a bit unfortunate that so many people have them blocked, it kind of makes the brigades more impactful because fewer people downvotes and report their posts.
