Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.42pm post the following, " Referendums are 'desperate move' by Putin - UK.....Vladimir Putin has warned that once the Russia-held regions are absorbed, Moscow will defend its territory with "all available means", including nuclear weapons, raising fears of a sharp escalation of the seven-month conflict. "
Lets Get Real:
In 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a Russian Sub that had lost contact with Moscow rose to the surface rather than follow orders in such an event, they got contact back, if they had followed orders it could have lead to World War 3. In 1983 a radar operator had his screen showing that the US had launched a nuclear attack, this was during the 1983 November scare when the Kremlin thought that the US was about attack by having a fake NATO exercise then to have a real attack. The standing order was for the operator to contact the Kremlin, that could have lead to World War 3, in actually he rebooted the system and it showed that there was no attack, the above examples shows that it takes brave men to counter their military training and to check something out before going to WAR. World War 3 would be the LAST WAR. One does hope that if Putin takes 15% of Ukraine as part of Russia that there are men in the military who will say NO to the Kremlin should it want to use tactical nuclear weapons in the Ukraine. One can postulate that the Kremlin will say that since these 4 areas have voted to become part of Russia, they are part of Russia prober, thus the Russian nuclear doctrine allows for the use of nuclear weapons. Tense days ahead in the Ukraine and the West.
