Putin gave NK one fancy luxury Russian car. Does that count?

ICBM is old tech but it has advanced a ton over the decades. It is insane how accurately the US can lob a nuke across the Pacific and hit a designated test target.
The new Russian ones are supposed to dodge interceptors at their final stage and fly crazy fast.
Bribes aren’t exactly a thing in Switzerland. I’m not saying there isn’t corruption but it’s not common.
That said they have to pay nearly a million dollars to the victims.
Gaddafi called for Switzerland to be split between its neighbors.
Who has the last laugh now? Don’t need with the Swiss and their dark, devious ways
Add some rum along with the weapons for moral support of the Taiwanese defenders.
Russian ships get embarrassingly damaged/sunk by Ukrainian drones/cruise missiles.
“Hey, Venezuela is fantastic this time of the year!” - Russian Navy
Maduro will be welcoming them with open arms and appreciates the attention from daddy Putin. Gotta prop his own autocracy somehow.
Makes sense, this was decades ago in a small startup. Nowadays HR systems are usually synched with the IAM.
I’ve had people above me fired in a startup and I was asked by the board of the company to lock their accounts and seize their professional laptops while they were in a meeting informing them they were fired.
The idiots had tried to stage a “coup” against the CEO which failed spectacularly.
If you had cut out the avocado toast, you could have afforded your own wide-body jet liner before your 30s.
They have to heavily rely on Iranian made drones, I doubt they want to share those.
But can you land an F-14 on a carrier in Top Gun for the NES?
Better for the average Hungarian, not for the Russian shill in power.
Appeasement or having Ukraine bleed Russia slowly rather than decisively kick them out. The US would rather keep Russia busy and weakened than back to their usual shenanigans. Sadly it’s the Ukrainians who have to pay the heftier price of this.
It’s sadly more boring than that. Not lizard people, just sociopaths.
I was trying to find a word for a government ruled by sociopaths but I guess “fascism” fits fine.
Nukes need high explosives. The most modern ones use extremely stable explosives but some of the Cold War era accidents in the US often did go boom but not BOOOOOOOM.
Still bad exploding weapons-grade radioactive material. Thankfully not as bad as a nuclear explosion.
I have serious doubts about how “clean” even a modern nuke is but modern weapons are supposedly more efficient and therefore cleaner than WW2 equivalents. The other factor is where the bomb is detonated.
At ground level, it irradiates and throws up more material than if it is detonated high up in the air in an air burst configuration.
In any case, any kind of nuke crosses a diplomatic line that would bring a world of hurt against Putin which is not worth the tactical win. His nukes are way more useful as a saber to rattle to scare off Western countries from supporting Ukraine too effectively out of fear of escalation.
I could only see Putin use nukes in a desperate last-ditch defense against invaders at Moscow’s gates.
But it would only work on prude countries.
France would scoff at such an attack, they have raunchier shampoo commercials. And Scandinavian countries wouldn’t even bat an eye.
Exactly, just like the Nigerian prince scam. Those who know about the scam or with enough critical thinking ability are not the marks. They want that small percentage of highly gullible people they can fleece easily.
A one day old account spouting bullshit a troll?
