World War Three

I'm not sure if Putin wants to send the first nuke. History would not like him very much if he did, even if it was a little one. And then if Ukraine was his, he would of totally ruined the "breadbasket of Europe" for farming use. He could send a chemical on that ICBM and that would really tick NATO off and start it up.
What he did sounds like tit for tat to me.

Yes i agree...i think this was a show that their ICBM do work and they can use them and will...plus it was a test for them to practice a bit as well.

We flew two different types of long range items into russia...attacms and storm shadow.....so they showed a true long range at work.

Hopefully they don't get North Koreas to actually work. That always cracked me up, he'd take them out, put them away, repeat. Or they'd blow up. Now theirs don't work. I think Russia has working stuff.

I just want peace for all of mankind !!

I do, too, but you know, biblically it says we'll see that for a short while. Then not! Makes me worry for the peace because of the NOT. But I shouldn't really be worried.

Putin warned what would happen if we sent longer range missles to Ukraine and they used them on Russia...1 day was all it took.
Russia is spinning up their nukes, and he said NATO allied countries will suffer the same fate as Ukraine.

Update(1057ET): Ukraine's earlier claim that its territory had been struck by an intercontinental ballistic missile fired by Russia is being hotly disputed, hours after widespread reports first appeared. US officials are saying it appears to be a new intermediate-range ballistic missile and not an ICBM which targeted the central city of Dnipro

The NY Times has reported in follow-up of the attack that "several Western officials said that the weapon was not an ICBM and instead was likely an intermediate-range missile that flies shorter distances."

Zelensky himself had claimed Russia used a new class of missile. "All the parameters — speed, altitude — match those of an intercontinental ballistic missile," he said. "All expert evaluations are underway." But US defense officials are contradicting this:

A senior U.S. official said the weapon appeared to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile, adding, "But it is a new type we have been tracking."

US officials have also called it an "experimental" missile. There's also been some quibbling among experts are how to characterize the projectiles which were observed hitting Ukraine at incredibly high rates of speed, in terms of rocket size and distance.

Assuming Washington is correct, and that it wasn't an ICBM, this suggests Zelensky's hasty verdict is all about threat inflation coming at a time he's desperately trying to get the West's attention, arguing in favor of greater NATO military intervention against Russia.

People tend to underestimate Russian technology. It's every bit as good as ours.

Weeeell.. Even if that's Debatable (certainly for Some Tech / Weapons systems it Is..) ..It's Still Wise to prepare / proceed as though That's 100% True, and across the board. It would be Foolish to assume Otherwise..
