Russia 'Prepared To Use Thermobaric Bombs On Ukrainian Civilians'
Yahoo News ^ | February 25, 2022 | Kevin Schofield

Posted on 02/25/2022 5:44:16 PM PST by McGruff

Frustrated Russian forces are prepared to “indiscriminately” use thermobaric bombs to seize control of Ukraine, Western officials believe.

One western official said it was “likely” that Russia failed to achieve its main objectives on day one of its invasion of Ukraine.

The official added: “And my fear with those objectives, that timescale not being met, is if that continues to be a theme where they are delayed and then my concern is that that Russia uses indiscriminate use of indirect fire, particularly artillery systems, thermobaric weapons - which we know Russia has both in its armoury and has used in previous conflicts.

"Dang. I think that is what the Nazis used on Brest at the start of their invasion of Russia."

It's what we used on Japan.

Putin had a choice. He could have stopped at the two territories that were predominantly russian (like he did in Crimea). Putin is NOT a good guy. Just because we have a corrupt gov’t doesn’t mean he’s an angel. It’s possible both are terrible so trying to back one over the other is just stupid.

Let’s be intellectually honest here. Putin is not a good guy and he has overreached. he has choices. And the West has behaved poorly too. But two wrongs never make it right.

In WW2 Polish Brest was called Brest-Litovsk. Now it is just Brest.

Bingo. When considering news, one must first consider the source of that news. And Yahoo is a Democrat mouthpiece. They will shamelessly slant any story in Biden’s favor.

This is either one of the most ridiculous pieces of fear porn propaganda that I have seen since Baghdad Bob was broadcasing, or Putin has lost half his IQ points and been possessed by an even stupider demon.

The use of this type of weapon on Ukrainian civilians would be antithetical to all of his declared and assumed strategic and tactical goals.

I’d expect Biden, Austin and Milley to drop thermobaric bombs on a large gathering of conservative patriots before I’d expect Putin to turn the entire world against him by doing something like this

Between 1922 and 1933 Joe Stalin starved/murdered 5 million Ukrainians, and when the Nazis rolled in around 1940, Ukrainian men couldn’t line up fast enough to join the Einsatzgruppen (death squads) to slaughter Jews by the hundreds of thousands.
Both sides can go to Hell as far as I’m concerned.

The CIA & Ukraine defense ministry told us that, so it must be true.

Judging from the verbal fisticuffs here on FR in just this thread, it almost seems to indicate the level of victory our communist masters in DC have achieved in disassembling the United States...

“Putin has lost half his IQ points and been possessed by an even stupider demon.”

The problem is Putin believed his own propaganda. He thought the Ukrainian people would greet him as a liberator and he could merge Ukraine back into Russia.

The danger is he now has only two options:
1) Give up on controlling Ukraine
2) Impose Russia on them Stalin style with a vast blood toll..

I hope he is still sane enough for the first option.

“The only thing being escalated here is the incessant rhetoric of the war-mongers and Biden sycophants”

Can’t argue with that. Clearly NOTHING can be trusted and there’s a whole let of push to try to make it seem that Russia is losing...yet one can here gunfire on the live feeds in Kiev.

Given the numerous BS claims out there I don’t give this report any credence until the bombs go off.
