A preemptive nuke strike on Russia would ensure their absolute destruction.

And ensure only a couple hundred of their nukes reach us.

Winning!

From the New York Times and the CIA director.
Boy Howdy, there is two sources I trust at least as much as I trust Jen Psaki.

Naa, I think will maybe check in with Russia Today and maybe Al Jazeera. Both being more trustworthy.

If it happens, it will be because the guys who give Burns his orders have forced Russia into doing it.

a variant of the battle flag

Oh, that's going to trigger the BLM contingent (despite no known connection with African slavery or anything of the sort). It's really just another variant of the St. Andrew's Cross, in Russian white-blue-red colors.

"C.I.A. Director Airs Concern That Putin Might Turn to Nuclear Weapons"

*Putin Might*

The real story is the NYT (the newspaper of the Deep State) is setting the narrative the US and NATO should strike first because Putin is the new Hitler and it's the right thing to do.

I hate to say it, but I have NO IDEA who the Head of the CIA is at this moment.

And I feel proud about that.

Probably not.

The leader before Zelenskyy was reviled by Azov despite him putting them into parliament and into the formal national guard. He was their man.

The leader before that was a Russian plant from the Donbass who poisoned his rival and then fled the country for Russia after taking a boatload of money from the Kremlin.

Zelenskyy was a no hoper Jewish TV actor whose first language is Russian and who had to learn Ukrainian. His running as president was seen by the intelligence forces all over as unlikely to succeed. Jewish, Russian, not a nazi, not a Putin stooge.

I’m not remotely convinced that he was under Kremlin or CIA influence when he won - but even if he had been, he certainly isn’t now. So both sides were equally annoyed when he won the election.

The spanner in the works is the bogus stuff about Nazis in the Donbass being Zelenskyy’s fault. Russia put far more nazis into there before his election and before the “special military operation” than Zelenskyy ever did. Thousands of Russian neonazis and mercenaries have been in there since 2012.

From 2019 to Feb 2022, Azov was shrinking. What happened in February? Azov became the most experienced and most battle hardened best armed Home Guard after Russia invaded. So naturally it grew.

That’s how Russian “special” action has increased the death rate of Donbass pro-Russian civilians by a minimum of 1200%. Russia killed a lot of its own civilians, Azov started growing again.

That is based on maximizing the highest estimate of noncombatant pro Russian civilian casualties over 8 years, and taking the absolute lowest equivalent stat for the last fifty days, with both stats bent massively in Russian favor. It’s the lowest possible percentage. Reality is, the actual figure could very easily be 6000%.

So in reality ten years of Russian interference in Donbass is singularly responsible for propping up Donbass nazism, putting Donbass Nazis into parliament, and keeping Azov armed. I bet that suited the CIA.

Along came Zelenskyy and the Russian Donbass puppets AND the Nazis were voted out. Zelenskyy became the unknown quantity. Russia hated that, the CIA were unsettled.

The globalists agree. Replace putin with a global puppet and deep state. They would be safe in their bunkers and finally be free of all aopposition. What a world that would be. Reading One second After, the trilogy, while fiction, reminded me to nnever agree with the ruling class.

I’ll ask My sister. Oh }{€££ no I won’t.

Just after the fraudulent “elections” happened I was on the phone with her and she said that “it’s a good thing that President Trump lost because He was going to START A NUCLEAR WAR with the chicoms ...

I told her that “this phone call was over” and I hung up on her. Have had 0.0 contact with her since.

Don’t take that flag to a NUTSCAR Race, they won’t let you fly it because it’s almost a Confederate Flag.

And while we’re acting preemptively what of the Russian submarines with their nuclear missile? Or any other measure previously put into place?

We should act preemptively for once.

Once we as a nation can answer Yes to all questions in the Powell Doctrine, then we can consider your suggestion.

Use of nuclear weapons would sure change the midterm elections here.

If the corrupt and criminal CIA & FBI have a part in it, they are the ones that will arrange the use of nuclear weapons.
