Go and look up how many Russians live in cities, & what proportion of economic activity they account for. Russia, as an organised state, would disappear, as would a very large proportion of its population & most of its economy. Whatever might be eventually rebuilt would be much smaller, as any fringe nationalities not nuked would begin governing themselves (no choice, really), & neighbours would move in to restore some kind of order & restore the flow of raw materials, potentially fighting over the scraps. One would expect the Chinese to grab much of Siberia, Japan to reclaim some islands, etc., etc. There’d be a lot of undamaged land, but not Russia, as a significant state.

Now, let’s get back to reality. There will be no nuclear war between Russia & the UK, however much you want it.

But I said the whole island would be nuked.
Question: Has Britain even a hypothetical ABM to protect London? nope
Some productive citizens would remain and come of their holes in Moscow and other large cities.

David Milliband must shup up.

They’re not suicidal retards either.

They are suicidal and brave, where is the suicide?
They got in and thump the ass of a biggest buddy in the Caucusses in Georgia, and buddy king Kong shutup.

Putina is pissing into the wind. The chest beating may improve his ratings on the home front but it will bite Russia in the ass HARD in the end

That is what you think, it is your opinion,the internaional community has nothing to do – what? To fight Russia is out of question,can’t do it and wouldn’t do it. To deprive Russia of G8, it doesn’t do Russian president any bad, if he doesn’t shake hands of pompous clowns like George Bush. WTO? nope. It brings them no profit or advantage in real terms. NATO co-operation?They want to pull out,what advantage does Russia get from NATO? Protection against whom ? Georgia, North Korea, or Iran.?

China is an oil glutton alone wants all of Russian oil,gas, and minerals and is even competing with Japan. Korea wants a pipeline of gas and oil.
Indonesia also wants one, Thailand wants one.

Britain’s foreign minister, David Miliband, said Moscow succumbed to “the temptations of power politics” with its invasion of Georgia and warned Russia not to start a new Cold War. “Yesterday’s unilateral attempt to redraw the map marks a moment of real significance,” he said.

“Russia is more isolated, less trusted and less respected than two weeks ago,” Miliband added in a speech during a visit to Kiev to show support for Ukraine, which like Georgia is a former Soviet republic whose pro-Western leader angered the Kremlin by seeking membership in NATO.

David Milliband the foreign minister of Britain must be careful to be giving a wrong signal and false sense of support again to Ukraine. After this visit Ukraine quickly requestd that Russia paid more for Black sea fleet located at Sevastopol in Crimea. Russia currently pays $98million to Ukraine even though the current contract holds. He is another pompous clown. He must remember the war of 1854-1855 in which Russia defeated them. He must remember that Russia is 300 times more bigger than Britain and still nukes are pointed at them and the U.S not.

BATUMI, Georgia – A U.S. military ship loaded with aid docked at a southern Georgian port Wednesday, and Russia sent three missile boats to another Georgian port as the standoff escalated over a nation devastated by war with Russia…

According to a general any attack on South Ossetia by NATO “is a declaration of war on Russia”

“When boxer Muhammad Ali began wearing a T-shirt with the words ‘I am the greatest’, he ceased to be the greatest,” the official said.

USA is not some sacred place that no one is supposed to bomb

Tinkugadu, you touched on something,Americans always believed their homeland is sacred and untouchable, I don’t know if they know a war machine called submarine that can duck in the ocean and get near to their landmass to on leash a devastating blow or a weapon called ICBMs.

The U.S hasn’t won a war without an ally, that was the reason they lost the Vietnam war. You are right, France,Germany and even to a large extent Britain wouldn’t join the party. The U.S read into that, hence the inability to anything but only to yell. Remember when push comes to shove, from Jenghis Khan,Hitler,Napoleon,William the conqueror, they all saw in hindsight. The U.S would the other great power that would see it in hindsight.
