Suwalki Gap

Don't know how many divisions are in the area, but Polish officials have expressed that they understand the significance of the region.

If war broke out, I would expect NATO to abandon Eastern Europe, regroup in Germany, and counter-attack.

...

I feel for our Landser who got sent to the Baltics as a political statement and will be abandoned and slaughtered in the event of war.
Shit, I know some guys who went.

I feel bad for the Poles and Balts in the event a war actually broke out

Both the USSR's and America's strategies for Europe in the event of a hot war were just walls of tactical sized nukes.

Global politics at a certain level becomes a zero sum game. Stop being a cuck tbh

Neither side is autistic enough to push the button. The only reason nukes exist in the modern era is insurance against other countries' nukes.

Using strategic nukes is guaranteed mutual annihilation and using tactical nukes is like screaming that you want to be the victim of a first strike.

No one is going to push the button, until someone does. Then everyone does. Humans aren't rational actors.

This is why any assurances from NATO are taken with very heavy grains of salt around here. By anyone except the governments, of course. Those champion signing off our sovereignity to EU and NATO completely because it means less money has to be "wasted" on defense. Our militaries are in dire need of expansion and reform.

Can't feel bad for the Poles, they fell for the exact same shit before WW2

Well, I don't know what RU policy on Nuclear launches are, but U.S. systems han only be launched when either the launch technician and commanding officer of the facility/submarine turn their keys at the same time, or if the President uses the nuclear launch codes. So nobody can just "push the button" on the U.S. side. It would have to be a chain of command decision to end the human race.

...

It's the pollacks own fault, by trusting Anglo promises of protection they felt assured in their military dominance and begun their slaughter of ethnic Germans in Pooland.
Can't say I feel bad about what they endured.

Yeah, I agree. My sole greatest remorse about the way the World Wars ended is the slaughter/expulsion of Germans from their lands outside of the new borders. Especially Prussians.

Hey, 21 posts before we attracted a shill! That's pretty good, these days.

Are you implying that Kaliningrad could become new Danzig?

Russia is quite open about being ready to use nukes first. That's probably what stopped the Saudis and Turks invading Syria back in February/March this year.

Russian policy is that if they are about to be overrun by conventional armies, they will use nuclear force.

Otherwise, they have a no first use policy.

That's an american press. In reality Putin said that nukes hopefully won't be necessary.

Know what the Chinese would do if the US declared war on them? They would surrender immediately and the US would have to face the headache of being in charge of 1 billion people without a functional government.

Maybe science and good governance would be a better pursuit

What if Holla Forums bought Kalinigrad from Russia and we made our own white ethnostate in Europe?

The international community would immediately sanction all imports of hotpockets, tendies, nintendo 64s and katanas. It would be an inferno.

I distinctly recall statements by the Russian military and SAA that if the Russian troops in Syria were threatened with destruction, they wouldn't hesitate to use tactical nukes.
