What is it going to take to wake people up? Russia is deploying tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, and there is lots of talk in the Russian media about using such weapons to bring a quick end to the war in Ukraine. The theory is that once the Russians show that they are willing to use tactical nukes, the U.S. and the other western powers will back off. But that won’t be what happens. Instead of backing off, the Biden administration will respond by using U.S. tactical nuclear weapons against Russian targets in Ukraine. And once both sides have used tactical nukes, it is just a matter of time before the big nukes get used.
his war could have been avoided at the negotiating table long before it ever started, but that didn’t happen.
And we could still have a negotiated solution, but at this point both sides are not interested in peace talks at all.
So we will continue to steamroll down a road that leads to nuclear conflict. Both sides just continue to escalate matters over and over again, and even Vladimir Putin is admitting that this could easily cause “a Third World War”…
Putin, speaking at a meeting with Russian war correspondents in Moscow yesterday, said: ‘The United States pretends not to be afraid of an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, but sane people there clearly do not want to take this to a Third World War.
‘In the event of a Third World War, there will be no winners, including America.’

Human beings do lots of self-destructive things, including a myriad of ways to commit suicide. For ideology, politics, 'honor', and many other related reasons people have flown jetliners into buildings, military aircraft into ships, blown themselves up, jumped to their deaths, started themselves on fire, etc. etc. If the power for Armageddon becomes concentrated in the hand of a crazy few, anything can happen.
No. It’s done to prevent insane neocons and the vegetable Biden from pushing NATO into this war
The media are too focused on “get Trump”.
On the bright side, that will put an end to the lifetime of disappointment in the Lions.
Well I thought we were doomed when the Cubs won the World Series, so maybe we’ll be ok.
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day...
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
As Long John Silver said in Treasure Island, “Them that die will be the lucky ones”.
Some of us might. She was the British version of Kate Smith.
Vera Lynn passed away in 2020.
The fat cats in the Kremlin who’ve been ripping off the system for decades have made nice lives for themselves and their families.
They’re not about to let some loud mouthed idiot ruin it all by launching nukes.
Comrade Putin will soon be ‘’retired’’ for ‘’reasons of health’’.
Parson, you know some of us are with you on this.
“...ours will hit the exact address we want them too...”
With the current Department of Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and LGBQTism in charge of the military?
I thought Russian forces were beating up the Ukes. Why would they need to use nukes?
The Russians know that would be the end of their country as they know it. It would not be the end of the world.
And now that we know their super weapons are flaccid and can be shot down by 35 year old tech, the bear is clearly toothless and mangy. China is just waiting to roll up into Siberia.
“Or Ukraine will acquire nuclear weapons.”
Assuming the US or NATO countries decline to provide them, who would sell them? India, maybe?
I don’t think you understand the difference between “Strategic” and “tactical.” The U.S. hadn’t had tactical nukes since the Davy Crockett.
Everyone dies.
Same with the generals. They're just playing the game. If it comes down to nukes, they've got families in Moscow and know what the end game would be so they would put an end to Putin and that nonsense.
The US Chair force salivates at the chance to destroy the cities. Makes no sense to me but there you go.
Maybe the Russians love their children too but the US Airforce is all about nuking the cities to destroy the civilian population. Crazy huh?
Yup. And they send their kids to nice schools in London and Paris where they also keep nice homes.
Comrade Vlad had better learn to shut up if he wants to stay on two feet and breathing.
