“A man will contend for a false faith stronger than he will a true one,” he observes. “The truth defends itself, but a falsehood must be defended by its adherents: first to prove it to themselves and secondly, that they may appear right in the estimation of their friends.”

Those are torpedoes you absolute chicken little, not to mention that there's some serious questions about the feasibility of them. russia's "normal" missile launched nukes are mostly under the 1 megaton range, and the reason they are is because russia's nukes are inaccurate, the US ones have a lower yield on average but are more accurate meaning their yield ends up where they want.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying that RU would prioritize strategic targets in US, or that the US would also nuke Russia as well per article 5?
If the latter, there's no question about that, but there's no guarantee the US would strike RU before they launch, and they have first strike advantage right now thanks to the hypersonic missiles, we don't have a counter for hypersonic missiles yet.

See, you don't know that. That's your opinion, I'd rather not find out.

It used to be reasonable to not want to go to nuclear war, nothing chicken little about that.
A torpedo can still strike a coast, and we do not know how effective the weapon would be, till it happens. Maybe it's a nothing burger, maybe a coastal city like London is engulfed in a 1600 ft irridated tsunami.

If there is one consistent thing about all the wunderwaffe that Russia keeps boasting about, it is that it works far below claims, if it works at all. Just look at the Armarta, the su57, the s400 and everything else.
For more than a decade I've seen varied Russian posters talk about this or that Russian super weapon which is so far more advanced than anything NATO has. ALL of them were duds so far. Most never became operational, those that did definitely did not match "expectations" (propaganda). The latest nuclear rumor was about those Poseidon torpedos which if they ever work were not even supposed to be operational for several more years yet suddenly they have many of them ready to fire.
Without the ability to blackmail Europe over gas, all that Russia has left is the nuclear threat. So I get you might actually be scared of it but you really should get used to it because most of their propaganda in the coming days will be variations on that theme.
Hmf...Russia's nukes are likely more dangerous to Russia.
The nuke torpedo is technically a drone and has never even been tested.
You guys are still playing into putin and his threats by obsessing over nukes. There's a reason the pro-russia people here wants to keep it as a subject. They are paid to spread fear and end our Ukraine support after all. They do not want to die like everyone else. They want to win, but will take a loss if no other choice. Keep THAT in mind. >.<
You lot are just playing into what the ones who owns the news agencies obsessing over nukes and russia wants.
His threats aren't new. The end.
Here's a good video on what he's trying to make you do:

The latest hardware being sent to Ukraine includes more High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems
The US's decision to send more military aid to Ukraine "increases the danger of a direct military clash" between Russia and the West, Moscow has warned.
Russia's ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, said it was an "immediate threat" to Moscow, describing the US as "a participant of the conflict".
Earlier, the US announced another $625m (£547m) in military aid to Ukraine.
Advanced US weaponry has been credited with helping Ukraine build momentum against occupying Russian forces.
Ukrainian troops have made significant advances in the country's north-east and south in recent weeks.
The latest US hardware includes another four of the high-precision Himars multiple rocket systems.
In all, Washington has committed nearly $17bn in military support for Kyiv since Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on 24 February.
Trouble, mostly.

But they cannot resupply those forces. The Ukrainians have set up that battlefield nicely - the Russians have a major river behind them and it's regular Himars o'clock on the bridges. What's left of them.
