Conventional war never going to happen, they can barely fight their land neighbor Ukraine.
Putin's only hope is launch nukes and watch the world burn AND/OR massive cyber attack on US infrastructure.
Was just listening to a podcast on Nuclear Threats, Putin has actually never made an outright nuclear threat. He basically just talks around the edges and hints at it, knowing the western media will blow it up and make it sound like he is making a nuclear threat. He is well aware of the consequences of a nuke launch.
One clear sign if he is planning a nuclear launch is you will start seeing his forces mobilizing in strategic spot withing Russia to defend after the nuke, this is when we should be worried. But now it's it a dog and pony show.
Russia has sent its super sub "continent destroyer" somewhere but no one knows where it is going.
This sub has one nuclear weapon that can completely destroy a continent by sending a nuclear shockwave of tsunami of 1000+ feet to the target coast line. All the water will contain deadly radioactive toxic waste.
That's why US has already sent ALL of this fleets out right after the news that the super sub disappeared. US is in fear and need to guard its coast lines.
