How about,
1. When all of western Europe was in lockdown the likelihood of success in Ukraine improved. Attention was elsewhere, not on Ukraine. Economically the EU had been clobbered by COVID and the refugees while still in the doldrums after the ‘08 crash.
2. The shambolic retreat from Afghanistan.
3. The looming changes in Russian leadership - regardless of rumors about Putin’s health, there were planned changes in 2023.
4. The promotion of Duginist philosophy had reached a saturation level making a hot war more sellable.
5. Zhirinovsky had already blown the surprise by announcing the date and time of the invasion months ahead of time.
6. The DNR was about to publish its third year of casualty statistics proving that there definitely wasn’t a genocide going on in the Donbas - the false flag was on borrowed time.
Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear weapons. Russia does. Any dirty bomb will have to come from Russia.
“Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear weapons.”
A dirty bomb is not an offensive nuclear weapon. It can be put together with radioactive nuclear wastes from different sources, such as nuclear power plants, laboratories, etc.
A dirty bomb likely would be detonated near the Romania border to radiate US troops stationed there,
———-
Why would Vlad mess around with a bargain basement dirty bomb when he has the real deals? Now the Ukies are a different story, a cheap basement dirty bomb ( not a real nuke) detonated to spread realatively small amounts of radioactive particles, blaming the Russians , is more their style.
After all, just about everyone knows the West blew up the Nordstream pipeline.
I didnt say Putin would do it......I was thinking more likely the UK and Ukraine
“ Russian Defense Ministry said they have information about the contacts of Zelensky’s office with representatives of Britain on the issue of obtaining technology to create nuclear weapons. According to Kiev’s plans, the detonation of a “dirty bomb” can be disguised as an abnormal operation of a Russian nuclear munition
— the goal is to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction and launch a powerful anti-Russian campaign in the world aimed at undermining confidence in Moscow;
— two Ukrainian organizations have specific instructions for the creation of a “dirty bomb”, the work is at the final stage;
— there is information about the contacts of the office of the President of Ukraine with representatives of the United Kingdom on the possible acquisition of nuclear weapons technology;
— there are enterprises in Ukraine with stocks of radioactive substances that can be used for a dirty bomb - three operating nuclear power plants (Yuzhno-Ukrainskaya, Khmelnytsky and Rivne) and the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear power plant with radioactive waste storage facilities;
— more than 50 000 m3 of radioactive waste, which can also be used for a “dirty bomb”, can be placed at the newly created enterprise for the processing of radioactive waste “Vector”, at the Dnieper chemical Plant, at the disposal sites of radioactive waste “Buryakovka”, “Podlesny”, “Rossokha”, the Vostochny Mining and Processing Plant is producing uranium ores;
— Ukraine also has a corresponding scientific base - the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology, whose scientists participated in the USSR nuclear program and where experimental facilities operate, including the Uragan thermonuclear installations, as well as the Institute for Nuclear Research at the Academy of Sciences in Kiev, where research with radioactive materials is conducted at the VVR-M reactor in.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has prepared forces and means in case of a “dirty bomb” being detonated by Ukraine.”

Keeping something on the table doesn't mean using nukes. It's a threat. I'm not a fan or Wicker, but Tucker is a liar
Yes. Russia is. Ukraine is winning and Putin needs cover
The friend of my enemy is my enemy.
For someone who has been President of Russia since 2012, and wants to allegedly reunify the Soviet States, he doesn’t seem to be in too big of a hurry. The guy is 70 years old. Nobody, not even him knows how much longer he’ll be alive, so why hasn’t he been more aggressive over the past 10 years in achieving his so-called goal? You don’t seem to want to answer that question. He isn’t going to live forever.
This use of the word “moral” in regard to what constitutes a nation state is too subjective. I think it is immoral that Britain occupies part of Ireland. But the fact is Northern Ireland is a part of the UK nation state. I think it is immoral how the U.S obtained Hawaii. Fact is it now part of the U.S nation state. You thinking it immoral that a variety of lands and peoples have been incorporated into Russia, no matter the means, does not negate the fact that Russia, as it currently exists, is a nation state
Hardly. The post contains a lie.
E pluribus unum “(Gorbachev agreed on dismantling the eastern Soviet bloc on condition that we would not bring countries bordering Russia into NATO”
That’s a lie which even Gorbachev said was a lie and no such promise was made.
The agreement on not deploying foreign troops on the territory of the former GDR was incorporated in Article 5 of the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, which was signed on September 12, 1990 by the foreign ministers of the two Germanys, the United States, Soviet Union, Britain and France. Article 5 had three provisions:
1. Until Soviet forces had completed their withdrawal from the former GDR, only German territorial defense units not integrated into NATO would be deployed in that territory.
2. There would be no increase in the numbers of troops or equipment of U.S., British and French forces stationed in Berlin.
3. Once Soviet forces had withdrawn, German forces assigned to NATO could be deployed in the former GDR, but foreign forces and nuclear weapons systems would not be deployed there.
When one reads the full text of the Woerner speech http://nato.int/docu/speech/1990/s900517a_e.htm
cited by Putin, it is clear that the secretary general’s comments referred to NATO forces in eastern Germany, not a broader commitment not to enlarge the Alliance.
Here is a link to Gorbachev’s interview http://rbth.com/international/2014/10/16/mikhail_gorbachev_i_am_against_all_walls_40673.html
The interviewer asked why Gorbachev did not “insist that the promises made to you [Gorbachev]—particularly U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s promise that NATO would not expand into the East—be legally encoded?” Gorbachev replied: “The topic of ‘NATO expansion’ was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. … Another issue we brought up was discussed: making sure that NATO’s military structures would not advance and that additional armed forces would not be deployed on the territory of the then-GDR after German reunification. Baker’s statement was made in that context… Everything that could have been and needed to be done to solidify that political obligation was done. And fulfilled.”
Gorbachev continued that “The agreement on a final settlement with Germany said that no new military structures would be created in the eastern part of the country; no additional troops would be deployed; no weapons of mass destruction would be placed there. It has been obeyed all these years.”
There was mo promise made especially considering that in 1989 Gorbachev didn’t agree on “dismantling the eastern bloc” just about german reunification.
