Does anyone know the actual process? Like I believe that there are all sorts of protocols to follow, most of which would certainly trigger warnings across the world that a nuke may be getting prepared for launch. I really, really hope that its not just a button with some casing over it, that someone can just open and push.

It wouldn't be appeasement. It would defeat that could be looked at as victory from a different angle.
Russia is encircled now. He has nowhere left to go in Europe.
His life and the end of the world? If he were as mad as people said he wouldn’t be holding back in Kiev, he would have flattened the City and announced a new government or else this is what your city gets. The fact he’s holding back tells me it’s propaganda. You can’t have a cool, calm leader threatening nukes since no sane man will ever use them. He has to be mad to make it stick and a man who engineered Brexit and Trump as president to destabilise the world before his attempt is just too calculating for any of this to be true.
Losing in Ukrainian doesn’t mean he has to destroy the world. If he were that mad he wouldn’t give a damn about NATO and just threaten nukes for the missile on his doorstep problem anyway imo
Looks like he's been on the piss. Perhaps a nicely chilled whiskey out of the freezer before going nuclear? @horsechoker
If conditions were met and ongoing monitoring yes of course I would but I am not even president of my local social club let alone the USA
To fly a Rafale you get top class training. The aircraft itself is state of art too. Russian machines will have no chance.
Wow, I think it would have been hard to keep calm and focused after that. You could obviously see how much it meant to him
You just said they're prioritising people based on their race, and then said its not racism
Giving him territory, which is ultimately what he would want, would absolutely be appeasement.
He sends the order to the general staff. They carry it out. Its similar to US.
Life in disgrace or death in glory (glory as seen by the people who will eventually make a martyr out of him).
History has been full of people willing to go down with the ship.
He wouldn't get any territory.
Can you imagine Putin having to cramp in a socially undistanced bunker?
Isn't this pretty much what Chamberlain did with The Sudetenland? It didn't end well.
I think so as well, he needs to go
Sudetenland never applied to join the EU.
Yes, but the cnut seems to be so fecking afraid of dying. Zelenskyy is the one I am absolutely sure would have given his life to save another. However, the botox face is the opposite. He does not care about anybody bar himsrlf.
But he sits shirtless on a horse and Obama wore a helmet on a bike!
He aint the biggest in the class so he is acting like that nutter of the class that no one wants to mess with. All bluff and brinkmanship to increase negotiation ability. However wounded animal cornered is dangerous, have to make it look like he has savesbface in some way to give him a way out and de escalate. The higher the stakes he plays, he can’t then just fold, he has to be give. something that makes him look om to his people.
He is about self preservation his life expectancy will drop as soon as no longer jn charge
have you guys seen the video of the father and son executed on the side of the road , these orcs deserve a special place in hell
He does. But one thing at a time. Unless you can guarantee he won't order a strike, the priority should be to get him to end the invasion first. Even if that means giving him a mini-PR victory in order to get there.
To be fair, there are neo nazis in every country there are white people. The rest of the races call their right wing fundamentalists other things.
The hope is even if he loses it someone down the line pulls a James Blunt (seriously, look it up) and refuses the order. Let’s hope we don’t get that far!
For all those saying he doesn't give a shit if he dies or not, well he certainly has a Covid fear...I think Nuclear war somehow beats that.

I know dailymail but this line -
Man probably has covid brain fog and/or paranoid being in a bunker trying not to die from it.

That's a hell of a gamble to take when the cost is potentially 100,000s of lives.
I don’t really know what you’re suggesting then. It sounded like you wanted the allies to cut a deal with him, but the only he can survive this domestically is if he comes out with Ukrainian land.
That would be appeasement. You're the only one suggesting that.
I’m sure plenty of people would be willing to send him a faecal sample right now.
Then what are you suggesting?
Article seems to be gone. Without going into whether its even right to be “allowed” to go and fight - could this be cover to send in special ops? Ironically very similar to Wagner Group soldiers, just need to call them volunteers and send them over the Polish border.
There’s little doubt in my mind we have special ops going on in Ukraine.
There will be no fecker left if he nukes anyone so he would never be a martyr.
I was thinking the same thing but not necessarily to fight Russian regulars, but precisely these 'assasin squads' hunting Zelenskiy in Kyiv.
Putin's fear of death actually explains most of his actions. He desires immortality through deeds. Land grabbed will endure a lot longer than any upsurge in economy etc. He wants to leave a mark for the ages.
If Putin is encircling Kiev for a siege, and seeing Kiev is furthest west bound he's gone in, wouldn't that leave his western Kiev flank exposed to ambush from additional support that keeps coming in from the Poland? Also if supplies are cut off from west for entry into Kiev, Im sure some more drone's will be donated with command centre set up in Lviv.
Impossible to state that as a fact. While the risk may be low you can never predict what will happen under such circumstances we face today in particular with a lunatic being backed into a corner.
No-one in russia is searching for restaurants at the moment, their cards wont work for payment.
