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.’

“Comrade Putin will soon be ‘’retired’’ for ‘’reasons of health’’”
Or he may just fall out of a window.
Geez FarmerBob. Look at a map.
“These things must happen”
Western leaders are insane.
And, sixty years afterwards we’re all still here.
Nuclear physicist here…care to cite your sources? Or are you just going to drop that drivel and walk away? “Down Winder” lawsuits were a money grab for the legal grifters.
That isn’t true. We have tactical nukes in the form of air/sea/ground launch cruise missiles.
Amazing.
200k dead? What is your source for that number? Even the USG has much lower numbers. The US public generally gets only one side of the story, the Ukrainian war propaganda. How many Ukrainians have died in this conflict? What are their equipment losses? Where is the accounting for US aid? The US taxpayer is funding the entire Ukrainian government including pensions.
The only way this war ends is through negotiations and Russia will have the stronger position. Ukraine won’t even get the status quo ante bellum. And no, Putin will not relinquish the land corridor to Crimea. NB: Russia shares a 1,500 mile border with Ukraine. Either Ukraine figures out a modus vivendi with Russia or it will no longer exist.
Our greatest concern should be a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia. What will Biden/Blinken/Nuland’s reaction be to the failed counteroffensive? They have invested so much in a Ukrainian victory politically and materially. And what kind of leverage does Ukraine have over the Biden Crime Family, which received $10 million in bribes along with a million dollar a year sinecure for Hunter on the Burisma board?
We could be sleepwalking our way into a cyber and eventual kinetic war with Russia including nuclear weapons. France and Germany want out of this debacle. Time is on Russia’s side. Putin doesn’t face the domestic political pressures that Europe does along with hosting 7 million Ukrainian refugee
I have no confidence in the Biden national security team. Most of them were involved in the 2014 coup that laid the predicate for the second Russian invasion. This war has been going on for 9 years.
It is, actually, considering the quality of our leaders.
No. If we do, it’s a violation of the treaties we’ve signed.
The nukes on cruise missiles are full bodied, city wrecking nukes.
And again, look up the difference between strategic and tactical nukes.
Exactly, fear peddling….just like Covid, forced shutdowns, mandates, etc…that said, the West can’t be trusted in the nuke arena. They are escalating this war, and Russia is much more prepared to withstand a nuke strike.
The US dismantled our CD system under Clinton, Russia never did.When working in Moscow I was surprised to see fallout shelters everywhere, apartment blocks, hangars, airports, Metro, museums, etc…
Nuke War?
More like God is replaying Sodom and Gomorrah.
God knows, we don’t.
Maybe. This didn’t stop a significant number of rich Russian oligarchs from disappearing.
I do know the difference, Clyde.
I do see tactical nukes in 155mm artillery into the late 1980s. I presume we just went with MOABs and FAEs.
FJB can’t use his nukes or F15s against Russia, he has to save them for the AR owners.
