So in pro-Russian trolling news, guess who's back on his bullshit again.

This is why I refuse to let it be forgotten that DDA's dev team still keeps this guy around.

[MaxTheFox]

Yeah that's dumb I agree. However both of the main servers ban pro-Russian users who speak about it there so I'm happy with that and couldn't care less about ZS. He's not really active there anyways.

But I'm biased since I agree with DDA's direction of development.

Again?

To put the thread back on rails...

It's even stranger considering CDDA is obviously anti-Z

I like calling those who suck up to Putin "Z-ombies".

"Any nuclear attack on Ukraine will bring a response, not a nuclear response, but a military response so powerful that the Russian army will be annihilated"

Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy


I like hearing this. I really like hearing this and not some vague "Russia will face severe consequences"

[MaxTheFox]

Well this is calming because now I am somewhat less likely to be turned to dust by American nukes if Russia uses tactical nukes in Ukraine.

[Starver]

I think you're currently in less danger of that than of somehow falling victim to your own country's nukes. Which should be a comforting statement, but... Stay safe.

Nominally but it does demonstrate that there's a level of hypocrisy at work, so long as Serg keeps those opinions on reddit and out of their server I guess...




Anyway, that sounds better but my worry is any genuine attempt to intervene more directly will probably just mean Putin starts nuking the intervening countries too, and that's probably going to get Russian cities glassed if any of the targeted countries are nuclear-capable... :/

I think scriver was making a joke about zombies being represented with the letter Z in the game's ASCII mode. And now the joke's dead from being explained, like a dissected frog.

Since it was brought up that their servers normally do a good job of keeping pro-Putin trolls out (unless they're in the dev team and willing to keep their shitposting elsewhere, evidently) I assumed it was following up on what Max had already said, hecc.

Or Russian generals will do a sensible thing and surrender after the first NATO strike. Or, better, ignore Putin's order to use nukes on Ukraine believing that NATO will strike

I am quite confident that Russian nuclear arsenal is in an awful state and while Russia is capable of finding a few dozen of working strategic nukes and evaporating many millions, there being not capable to bringing even 1/20th of the planetary-scale Destruction USSR could.

Hell, are we sure Russia even has nukes and the enriched uranium heads haven't been sold off to be used as heaters in grow ops or something?

USA spends ~$5 millions per nuke annually to keep those in a good working order. Russia has lower salaries and a lot of stuff is cheaper so lets's assume it is $1 million per nuke per year.

It is still a lot of money to steal. And it is hard to find that this money was stolen. For tanks or aircrafts, there are regular exercises, you can physically check if those shells are in a warehouse... Checking if all nukes underwent necessary maintenance is very problematic.

Problem is that even if 10% of Russian nukes are working as intended, it is enough to cause huge damage on a planetary scale and their army isn't as ruined to assume that it is less than that.

[EuchreJack]

Yes, and look at how the Russian tanks and aircraft have been doing.

"Destroying the Nuclear Silos in protest" sounds like a decent way out. I mean, look at all the ammo dumps and fuel depot's that have "been destroyed by terrorists".
