Professor Mark Maslin (UCL Geography) highlights in The Conversation research that used modern climate models to map the effects of a nuclear war, and which found the resulting nuclear winter would plunge the planet into a “nuclear little ice age” lasting thousands of years.

    It’s probably a discussion for allowing Ukraine to do what they want with long range weapons.

    Russia has made pretty direct statements about what happens then - they will consider NATO to be in direct war with Russia.

      Russia claiming X means war with NATO has been a bit of a recurring theme throughout the war.

        Please do provide a previous official quote from Russia stating that. I’ll save you the trouble though, cause it doesn’t exist.

          Ah, I might’ve mixed it up with threatening or insinuating nuclear war.

          Either way, it just seems like more sabre-rattling. Also, it’s not something that the US is doing, it’s something that Putin’s being a pansy about.

            This is an absolutely deranged attitude to have towards a possibility of starting a nuclear war. It absolutely isn’t going to matter who you think pansy was about what when we all die. One has to be an imbecile to be willing to gamble with the future of all humanity over western hegemonic interests.

              My attitude isn’t going to matter if we all die. Neither will yours, lol

              […] gamble the future of humanity over western hegemonic interests

              …I thought this was about Ukraine fighting back against the country that’s been invading it

                That’s why avoiding a nuclear war is in everyone’s interest. Yet, clearly plenty of imbeciles in the west don’t understand that.

                …I thought this was about Ukraine fighting back against the country that’s been invading it

                That’s because you’re utterly ignorant on the subject you’re attempting to discuss here. Ukraine is just a proxy for the US to attempt and extend Russia as the RAND paper puts it.
