Could Russia’s Sudden Ukraine Retreat Mean A Tactical Nuclear Weapons Strike Is Coming?
19FortyFive ^ | 9/10/2022 | Michael Rubin

How the Situation in Ukraine Could Get Far More Dangerous: After days of a withering Ukrainian counteroffensive, the Russian defense ministry announced that it was withdrawing its forces from two areas in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. In a video statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky quipped, “The Russian army in these days is demonstrating the best that it can do — showing its back.” Ukrainians celebrated, and rightly so. While Russian spokesmen said that Russian forces were “repositioning” ahead of a new offensive, reporters on the ground cast doubt on such pronouncements both because they mirror Russian statements as it abandoned its drive toward Kyiv and also because Russian forces left in such great haste that they left numerous arms and equipment behind.

“The Bible and it’s prophecy is inerrant.”

But its interpretation is another story.....

Have we been here before?

The world would then cower and kneel before them and let them take that neighbor with the expectation that would satisfy that sort of madness and Russia Germany would no longer have the bloodlust for empire?

Russia now has serious problems with logistics support of its artillery. Their rate of fire is way down, as it appears in the truly amazing satellite fire maps.

It doesn’t seem like Russia can plan on its “2 million” tons of explosives. They have no answer, as yet, to Ukrainian means of counterbattery and interdiction, and in that Ukrainian capabilities can only improve.

Why would Russia go nuclear when the can us VX or Anthrax for area denial attacks? Russia kept all three types of it’s WMD’s.

Here’s what’s really happening now.

…..what will happen in the forthcoming days? To early, way to early to predict how this plays out. Good to see the Ukies finally launch any meaningful offensive, but right now there is way to much “ irrational exuberance”. Do keep in mind, big offensives always result in big losses.

Meanwhile, evil continues to destroy evil.

I think Putin is turning up the nuclear talk so that when he uses chemical weapons the West will see it as a welcome alternative to nuclear war.

A tactical nuclear strike will not happen. There are saner heads in the Russian chain of command and even if a dying Putin were to enter the launch codes, someone somewhere would disable the weapon and blame it on malfunction.

The “interpreters” are not inerrant.

Bible prophecy is a bit of a huckster’s game, sadly.

“”I used to work across the street from Atomic Annie. :)””

I think my 155 just shriveled a little.

NATO won’t do a damned thing and I’m not so sure America has the will to do anything either. I don’t think anyone would be able to get Xiden’s attention long enough for him to respond.

Well, something is up.

Putin does not do things for no reason.

Most all Biblical scholars mention (agree) Russia, the nation, is alive and well in the end times, they ( and the Kings of the East) invade Israel. America or any semblance of America is met by silence.

Except, perhaps being the wings of the eagle by which the Jews escape toPetra and Bozrah.

Lack of mention of the US doesn’t necessarily mean lack of existence. It could just mean lack of involvement. We just may be so debilitated that we are no longer a major factor or major player in anything end times related.

I lean towards that “ theory” also. The take away is the Gog, MaGog, along with the Kings of the East are THE major players. Interesting is today’s alliance being formed- the Russian Chinese alliance.

a lot of interesting comments about what nato and the west would do if russia uses battle field nukes. one thing is for certain, world nations would be screaming “peace and safety” “peace and safety” Russia now uses a different nuclear strategy, its called: escalate to de-escalate.
