Very low, but not quite 0. Putin's crazy and desperate, and while I don't think he's quite crazy and desperate enough to start nuking people, I can't completely rule out the possibility. --- This is my signature.

Even on the very small chance that he pulls the trigger, I wouldn't be too worried. Looking at their general performance our odds of us being nuked are not the same as the odds of them trying to nuke us. --- Official King of PotD You only need one T-Rex to make the point, though. ~ Samus Sedai ...

Putin's crazy and desperate, and while I don't think he's quite crazy and desperate enough to start nuking people, I can't completely rule out the possibility.The worry is not so much that he would decide to do it, it's that he raises tensions so much that someone overreacts to a situation. Orrr...if he becomes despondent enough would he nuke the US while committing suicide? Point being, agreed that it's near 0 but not 0. As far as technical capabilities go...who knows. I'll agree it's far more likely that they are reliably able to strike their neighbors than the US. Note that Alaska neighbors Russia, however... --- Pronounced "Whup-pot". Say it. Use it. ...

wpot posted... Note that Alaska neighbors Russia, however... But also that nuking Alaska would be little more than a petty, desperate attempt to lash out out of spite. That said, any use of nukes is going to be a petty, desperate attempt to lash out out of spite, so I can't rule it out. --- This is my signature.

If Russia is going to nuke ANYONE it's going to be Ukraine and only Ukraine. Even the chances of that happening are very near 0%.

There is a close-to-50% chance they will try, and almost a 100% chance the equipment will either fail outright or be taken down by a squirrel. I estimate there is a 0.0001~% of a single warhead reaching as far as Alaska. --- http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb179/EntityXIII/entityfn7.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

FatalAccident posted... Because even when Russia is at war with Ukraine the world still revolves around the usa?Everything Putin does revolves around his perceived competition with NATO, which he perceives as led by the USA. In the case of this topic the US is Putin's nemesis because he has made it so. He views Ukraine as a plaything in that competition. Of course he's wrong and Ukraine alone - at least with Western help - appears to be more than he can handle. And the US doesn't want to compete with Russia: they want to ignore (and occasionally partner with) Russia. Bartiscool posted... Putin is some evil villainHe attacked a country unprovoked and is threatening nuclear war. As far as world leaders go, that's more or less the definition of 'evil villain'. The question is how mentally stable he is. Best guess is that he's fairly stable, although he has concentrated on theoretical grievances and has - at least until recently - lost touch with realities on the ground. But even mentally stable people can do 'crazy' things when desperate... --- Pronounced "Whup-pot". Say it. Use it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Despite how corrupt and destabilized Russia is, there is still a chain of command when it comes to using nuclear weapons. Just because crazy Putin orders a nuclear strike doesn't mean it will happen.

There are still people in Russia that know what nuclear war will lead to and they want to live to see another day.Right, that factors into the low chance. But there are also people who would love to nuke the US...and from all indications Putin remains firmly in command. My point was the odds are very low, but not 0%.

0. Why would they? It'd be shot down and retaliation would be immediate. They are more likely to nuke Ukraine, which would be far more likely to hit, but would still be incredibly stupid. **edit, to be fair, people rationalize the very small chance quite well. --- girls like my fa ...
