Russia allegedly used an ICBM against ukraine.

[THE LORD]

Is the warhead carrying nukes?

[Dr. Weird]

Why would they use an intercontinental ballistic missile on a country that's just next door? Why not just fire an artillery piece?

Putin wants to let biden and zelensky know that his missile is larger than theirs combined.

Once again, another lame russian attempt to scare ukraine and the west into submission.

Because ICBMs are scary and intimidating, but more importantly, nobody cares about making sense anymore.

Edit: conventionally armed, fired in a high lob from 1000km away, honestly kind of bizarre

I haven't heard of this, but I guarantee you it did not carry a nuclear warhead. Russia doesn't DARE use even a single nuke. If it does, the entire world will turn against it , with the possible exceptions of Iran and North Korea, and that will be the end of Russia for the foreseeable future.

Putin is a lot of things, including ruthless, but he's still a Russian patriot of the Soviet variety. He won't destroy his own country just to burn the land and resources he wants in nuclear fire.

ICBMs are huge. They carry a massive payload that can take out large sections of a city. Russia has a lot of them. They don't actually need nukes to level Ukrainian cities. And the fact they've had them this whole time, and lots of them, with some being the size of a barn silo, they've been holding back a lot on Ukraine. Which they may not be doing anymore.

lmao, bit over kill to fire a ICBM just a few hundred kilometers away. Guess he's running out of the cheap stuff to fling over the border now. zzzz

Nice cool way to waste $50 million though

wouldn't be the first warcrime the world has sat and gone "no please don't do that" to

A global thermonuclear war that annihilates all of humanity would be a mercy that God would never allow.

And it wouldn't be the first someone someone made emotional accusations of war crimes without understanding what a war crime actually is as they seem to believe it's any act of warfare.

Russian military has been wasting all sorts of equipment and russian lives throughout the war. So it's not surprising.

Most of Putins family (children) live in western/central Europe and are married to very wealthy people from those countries... if you look closely at most elites they do this.... Putin does not have an interest in mass scale war, the Ukrainian war is a trade proxy war....

It will be over next year.
The Middle Eastern will be in focus and that proxy war will take much longer

No it's not a nuclear payload. It's a pronoun payload, the missiles have pronouns and estrogen in them and are going to woke-ify the Ukrainian population. Wokelear fallout if you will

I have this on very good authority from legitimate sources

The indiscriminate targeting of a civilian population, for example, "leveling a city" to borrow your words, is a war crime under international law and established norms. There's nothing emotional about it, it just is.

[Pocahawtness]

I honestly don't see the point in posting this stuff. It doesn't matter what Russia does. It will do it anyway, and us worrying about changes nothing.

ICBMs are so inaccurate that with inert warheads, I'd be surprised if the attack did any more damage than if they had just launched six Iskanders.
