On the surface, it’s hard not to see visions of World War III in Russia’s recent threats and provocations against the West.

But far from being on the brink of global armageddon, experts tell The Post these moves amount to the same old irresponsible nuclear saber-rattling Putin has long been known for.
More to the point, they show that the Russian dictator is becoming increasingly desperate in the lead-up to President-elect Donald Trump’s second term.
“It’s certainly signaling to the west. I think the Russians are obviously concerned that we’ve allowed Ukraine this permission to strike in Russia with Western missiles,” Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Russia program director John Hardie told The Post.
“I think in general, they are trying to cow the west into dropping its support for Ukraine and sort of letting Russia have its way.”
Those fear tactics may have delayed President Biden from taking more decisive action to support Ukraine from the war’s start, but it’s unclear how that tactic might work on Trump, who has a record of not being intimidated and has reportedly signaled support for Ukraine striking deep into Russia, a source told The Post this week.

With these efforts having failed, what’s left is to escalate the weaponry that the U.S. and various NATO partners supply to Ukraine to provoke a nuclear response from Russia. Fearing that Trump would fulfill campaign promises to dismantle the “woke” Deep State, the New World Order military/industrial/intelligence complex prefers to risk nuclear war rather than allow Trump to return to the White House.
Even a limited Russian nuclear response would hamper Trump’s ability to end the war in Ukraine quickly after his inauguration. Should a Russian nuclear response lead to a global thermonuclear war, the World Economic Forum’s depopulation goals would only be achieved much sooner than anticipated.
Shouldn’t you be studying for your ESL classes right now?
Thanks for conceding the argument by sniping about my overall commenting to misdirect from the fact that you don’t have a counter argument.
I wasn’t conceding the argument. I was just informing you that you left out the “Poking The Bear” part.
Yes, by not responding to the argument you conceded the fact that Russia was totally within their rights to retaliate in kind to send a message.
Not responding does not equal conceding. I was just being courteous in letting you know you forgot the “Poking The Bear” part.
Zelenskyy is willing to suck some Biden tongue for another $80 billons
ChatGPT
How much money has the US sent to Ukraine in the past 2 years?
GPT:
Approximately $175 Billion has been spent in support of Ukraine. Some of this spending was to replenish stores of equipment sent.
Some was to support other countries sending equipment and money to Ukraine.
Visualizing Trump’s past and his recent comments, it is not reasonable to think he will not close the spigot. The $175 is about $85B/year.
GPT: What are some notable US budget items that are lower than $85B/year?
GPT Reply: NASA 25-30B
FEMA 20-30B
Natl Parks $3B
You can do better.
ChatKGB (2022):
How many days will take Putin to conquer Ukraine?
KGB:
Three.
Didn’t he die three or four times and been overthrown in a coup another four or five during that time? Pretty sure i read that here. Looks pretty good for a multiple times dead guy with advanced cancer.
marcusmaximus is going to be very sad when he discovers Trump and Putin are allies in the war against the anti-democratic globalist elites. :-)

The Ball is in Zelensky’s court now. He can strike back at Moscow with all he has or the bases and railheads that support the Kursk Russian forces. Open up with all you got! Hit Russia with a Dirty nuke and poison Putin’s palace.
Zelensky should close all colleges and high schools and draft the whole student body—teachers too for a massive winter offensive. Hit Russia hard, they are about to crack a part. One good blow and Putin is done and the Orks will be ready to pack it up and leave Ukraine forever. France should give Zelenski some nukes—maybe five or six, and some planes and pilots to take out major Russian Cities. Russia wants escalation—lets give it to him. We can beat Russia before Trump takes office. (Sik)
Putin has been firing long range missiles made in Russia, NK, and Iran.
So Ukraine returning the favor is escalation?
