The Russians can escalate and that includes using nuclear weapons. They’ll stop if Zelenskyy resigns
The propaganda in this war has reached new heights.
If Putin uses nukes on the Ukraine, all bets are off (and I don’t believe he is insane enough to do so) and WWIII officially begins. China would immediately move on Taiwan and the West would go NUTS trying to decide what to do....certainly Brandon would....
We have been sitting on the brink for decades believing NOBODY is dumb enough or crazy enough to use nukes (with so many other countries also having them). Let us hope that MAD continues to carry the day.
So THAT’S where Putin went wrong. He didn’t cave to the 57 alphabet genders! Other than that he’s just great. [eyeroll]
” panicking the country, firing missiles at residential buildings ‘at random’ to ‘intimidate’ the Ukrainians, trigger mass army desertions, national surrender, and Zelensky’s flight from the country”
IOW terrorism.
TOS-1 ain’t flamethrowers, it’s fuel/air (thermobaric) missiles. Kinda like Stalin Organs on steroids...US thought it up in the ‘60s. Fun stuff...not
Ok, so what’s the difference between a FOAB and a MOAB?
If Putin uses nukes on the Ukraine the french might throw a few back
Moor sounded plenty smart until right there. Stopped me from reading any more.
Good lord, we need a heap of Zelensky in our wimpified USA.
I predict, Putin’s adviser will stop him if he gives the order for a nuclear weapon.
He wont use nukes, but he’ll use thermobaric weapons.
I was working in Florida when Andrew hit. Lot's of us drove down from Jacksonville to Miami, and this was the biggest logistical problem - all the street signs blew away. Took us forever to get around. This was the pre-GPS on your phone days.
Comrade Xi is watching this more closely than anyone. will he make the same catastrophic mistake?
Putin needs to make a deal and get out.
Putin thought the Ukrainians would runaway
If the Russians don’t have a large stock of modern smart bombs, they surely have a bunch cold war dumb bombs that can be unloaded.
I’m pleasantly surprised as well. I thought Russia would go through Ukraine like a hot knife through butter.
As I thought about why this is happening, I came up with two possibilities:
- this is only Putin’s ego war. There is no clamor or popular support for his war from the regular Russian. And it’s looking more and more like even the soldiers’ hearts aren’t in it.
- the Ukrainians on the other hand have some serious skin in the game - their freedom and self determination and they’re showing both are very important to them - enough to put their lives on the line against great odds.
We still don’t know how all this is going to play out, but I’m totally rooting for Ukraine. If they win or even stalemate, it will be the end of Putin.
That would be a very happy ending, especially for all the other little countries Putin has in his sight.
Moor also wrote around the same time in a separate tweet: ‘With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in Ukraine, we should remember the values and hard-won freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights

Is he trying to make Putin look good or bad?
FINALLY! We are getting the truth from the MSM and government. S/
