With Russia funding its war effort through financial gains from the close of the Strait of Hormuz, and amping up attacks while Trump’s eye is turned towards the Middle East, experts tell Maira Butt that this is a very delicate moment for Ukraine
And before anybody starts to make noise about how those are in poor condition. By estimate they have 1500-1700 warheads and 1000-2000 short range nukes. Even if only 1% of those would work and we think on the low end of the estimate it would still be enough for 25 nuclear detonations, wich is 25 more than Iran and Venezuela combined.
Completely agree about the nukes. And I think that’s a good point to bring up.
Imo, and this is completely just my own perspective: We’re currently already on a course for nukes likely being used again. If not by Russia, then by the US or Israel in relation to the war in Iran.
So when it comes to an active nuclear threat, I feel we’re already there. And since we are, it then becomes better to eliminate anyone willing to use nukes than it is to wait until they’re all old enough to not care if they do.
Imo, Putin becomes far more of a nuclear threat as he ages. The next best time to eliminate that threat was yesterday. Otherwise we may not get a chance at all, as he’ll just use them anyway.
All the things you say are true.
But Russia still has nukes.
