Pretty much sums up the UK since 2010.
Extract from Basic Principles of the Russian Federation’s State Policy in the Domain of Nuclear Deterrence
“The Russian Federation retains the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use of nuclear weapons and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it and/or its allies…” But that sentence ends with an unusual statement: “… and also in the case of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional weapons, when the very existence of the state is put under threat”
"In a local war with a non-nuclear adversary, however, the small-scale tactical use of nuclear weapons might be a serious temptation, especially if the war were not going according to plan. In short, the impulse to escalate in a tight corner could be strong."
Could this be a precursor to Putin using tactical nuclear weapons against the Ukraine military on Russian soil?
Nasty Party targets the poor and vulnerable again. It's a shame that they don't show the same efforts in going after the corporates avoiding tax.
The whole event of 7th Oct, as horrendous as it was, is now completely and utterly overshadowed by these evil events in Gaza. The whole thing is deplorable on both sides. This is pure evil.
When you pause to think that we still use an effectively 120 year technology to move us along yet tech in other areas has soared and superceded others it makes you wonder if it's deliberate to help keep the oil industry going.
Biden has stepped up to the plate and then some more. Credit to him.
Yeah right. We've had next to no wage increases over the last 15 years but workers still carry the can. Totally ignore the energy companies raising their prices significantly based on costs yet still make huge record profits. Ditto supermarkets.
That's one hell of a distance for a drone to fly from Ukraine.
Let's hope so. I look forward to a few Portillo moments. The Tories have caused so much damage to the UK in two words Brexit and Corruption.
Liz Truss makes for a better parody version of herself than the best comedian. She's is so inept in public.
