Biden Could Deploy 50,000 Troops if Putin Overruns Ukraine

The statements here reveal an absurd lack of information and also an absurd lack of thought. Any coming war is not going to be "your dad's war." It's not even going to be "your older brother's war!" Can anyone remember here this:
"The DarkSide hacking group, another ransomware gang suspected of being based in Russia, was linked to the attack on Colonial Pipeline. The attack, and an ensuing panic among consumers, led to gas shortages in several U.S. states amid a temporary shutdown of the pipeline."
This has now the reality that you have to understand. Listen! Ransomeware attacks have been going on for years. Colonial Pipeline got a notice that if they didn't deliver 20 million the same day they would shut them down. Management fumbled and debated. The hackers shut down the system the next day, and millions of citizens were deprived of their service. The company then sent the 20 million immediately. This is not a single event. Major service suppliers around the US have been attacked and send the vast amounts the same day to prevent another "Colonial."
This has been going on for a few years now and is not reported fully in the press. What to understand from this? (1) Russian hackers have robbed an unimaginable amount from the American public. (2) Most importantly, there is obviously no defense from these attacks. (3) Anyone can obviously now assume that Russia (China too?) can attack any part of the infrastructure of the United States. There has been reports that they have even been inside the Pentagon. Shut down water? Sure. Shut down electricity. Of course. Everyone in the US should have a "bicycle pedal" electric generator for your phone, etc. and hope the person you want to call has one too. And fill up that tub in the bathroom so you will have water to drink at least for a few weeks. No, there will be no gas for your car. Plant a vegetable garden. You might get hungry.
This will be the new world war, kids. A-Bombs are as antique as bows and arrows.

god i was born 20 years too late.

I wouldn't worry about hacking, as the infrastructure will often still exist along with the people to manually run and repair damage done. It'll be more of a nuisance and part of a combined disruption campaign. If it becomes too disruptive, you'd see things going back to manual control as the norm. Functionally little bother compared to NBC warfare, as there will be little infrastructure left afterwards to supply the survivors.

I wouldn't worry about NBC warfare kicking off either, as no one really wins and everyone knows it. The war games always end up with a similar beginning and end. This leads to sacrifices being made however.

Here's a little something about domestic support for Putin, right here in America:

The United States is not only still in NATO, it is the major supplier of military force and the leader. It is central to US strategic interests around the world. --- And always has been, despite Trump stupid talking, which was ignored by everyone except a few here.

In the (hopefully) unlikely possibility of this Ukraine situation escalating into a global thermonuclear war, I console myself with the knowledge that we live in a state (Nevada) in which over 1,000 nuclear explosions occurred over the course of four decades.

If it comes to a Nuke exchange, we are ready!

And we own maybe a dozen or more Geiger counters, though all are antiques, and none of them are ready for service...

At least some of the hot springs in my town have been shown to contain high levels of Thorium, too, so I assume we are already fully inoculated against any further doses of radiation.
Is that how it works?

I downloaded (Torrented) lots of nuclear war movies recently, so maybe we'll get to watch them all in our Bunker, while we wait for the fallout to blow away from here?

Probably time for compromise. NATO knew full well for a long, long time it would irritate Russia if they shoved bases and troops so close to them.
