In August 1961, during a period when tensions between Washington and Moscow were at a high point, Admiral Konstantin I. Derevyanko penned a letter to Premier Krushchev. His purpose was to alert Krushchev to what the Admiral called the “nuclear romanticism” of the Soviet General Staff. The Admiral’s words still carry the force of logic and common sense and are still worthy of our attention today:
Which planet do these people [the Soviet General Staff] intend to live on in the future, and to which Earth do they plan to send their troops to conquer territories?... By this indiscriminately massive use of nuclear weapons on a small and narrow area like Western Europe, we would not only be accepting millions of radioactively contaminated civilians, but, because of the prevailing westerly winds, would also be radioactively contaminating millions of our own people for decades—our armed forces and the populations of the socialist countries, including our own country as far as the Urals.

Tulsi will do if Vlad is busy.
I have heard stories that Israeli pilots look fprward to pushing the Iranians back in time a few years by means of removing their precious projects.
Noem I think, Cowgirl.
How do you draw that equivalence.
Odd you should mention Mussolini. Far more in common with Putin than Zelensky.
Putin will end the same way as Mussolini. Dictators who run their course only to die impotent and powerless at the hands of their own people.
What percentage of the American government’s annual revenue is given to foreign countries?
"Apparently, Colonel Macgregor’s opinion is that American policy in the Middle East should beThat was from January. Macgregor has a long track record opposing both the US and Israel defending their interests from Iran.

“Winning Leaders don’t get taken out by their people.”
Agreed. But what has Putin won? He seized territory from Georgia, a much weaker country. And now he has mired Ruzzia in a quagmire that has bled the country white with death and economic losses.
He had to kill Alexei Navalny because the man posed a real threat to his power. That’s how fragile is Putin’s grasp on power that he must kill his opponents.
No, when Putin dies we’ll hear some story about a heart attack but more likely is someone close to him will shoot him in the back of the head with a .17 caliber Makarov. It’s a tradition at the Lubyanka.
Maybe?
You’re going to cry about them using nukes to pre-emptively stop more attacks against their nation?
Yeah it was always 1 year away. They would have had that achieved during both Barack Hussein Obama terms especially with Barry GIVING them billions, and being supporting of his muslim buddies. Maybe they just wanted to rally Americans against the new threat of Iran.
You have a lot of time on your hands. WOW!
During the 73 Yom Kippur War Israel was prepared, or at least strongly suggested, they would deploy nukes to survive.
Just how close did Israel get in the ‘73 war, to having g no option left but its nukes? Very?
I read South Africa facilitated them getting the enriched enrichable uranium they needed fir Israel’s nuke force.
From what I’ve read they were openly assembling the nukes so all satellites would see.
But why would that been when the Biden administration has so many Jewish people in high positions?
All the Jews Biden has tapped for top roles in his new administration
This is your boy Bibi in 2012...but ok
