Concerns rise over U.S., Russia ‘stumbling into war’ — and we can thank Democrat ‘collusion’ hoax
The National Sentinel ^ | 4/15/19 | Jon Dougherty

Posted on 04/15/2019 7:07:21 AM PDT by SleeperCatcher

U.S. military commanders and defense analysts not only see a new “Cold War” with Russia coming, they see something far worse if the two countries continue along the same path: Outright war that would devastate both countries and make large portions of the planet uninhabitable for centuries.

The Associated Press notes:

The deep chill in U.S.-Russian relations is stirring concern in some quarters that Washington and Moscow are in danger of stumbling into an armed confrontation that, by mistake or miscalculation, could lead to nuclear war.

American and European analysts and current and former U.S. military officers say the nuclear superpowers need to talk more. A foundational arms control agreement is being abandoned and the last major limitation on strategic nuclear weapons could go away in less than two years. Unlike during the Cold War, when generations lived under threat of a nuclear Armageddon, the two militaries are barely on speaking terms.

I agree....We need to sit down with Russia.

There was no Boris outside my polling place. If I'm stupid enough to be coerced by Fake News...then I don't deserve to vote.

Our military is badly infected with SJW nonsense and far too many resources are being usurped for non-warfighting purposes.

Despite that, I still believe that our military would clean Russia’s clock, albeit it would be a bloody fight that I in no way wish upon our service members. Think the Falklands War, but racheted up multiple orders of magnitude.

Thank the globalists for keeping Russia and the US at odds. The evolution of a nationalist, prosperous, capitalist Russia emerging from ninety years of soul crushing communism cooperating and at peace with a prosperous, nationalistic capitalistic America is the greatest threat to their world government dreams.

The Democrats are the globalist, socialist advocates in America.

A great way to get into non-accidental nuclear war.

One forgotten aspect of the Russia collusion hoax, but perhaps the most dangerous of them all.

These people were literally willing to risk nuclear war in order to push what they knew was a baldfaced lie.

If we actually got in to a hot war over the collusion nonsense, media personnel who pummeled us with the lies are responsible, and therefore legitimate targets. That they would put us through war because we beat them in an election shows they can never be trusted. Never.

Every time Trump tried to patch things up, the Democrats/deep state/media accused him of treason. What they’ve done and are still doing is the worst treason imaginable which will result in Apocalyptic death and suffering.

Hopefully with the release of the Mueller report and complete vindication of any Russia collusion, this should give Trump more room to operate in regards to Russia. I think a meeting with Putin is in order at some point this year.

Isn’t it odd that the same group of people who claim the world as we know it is ending in a few short decades due to “climate change” (even though the climate has always changed and the world has ALWAYS adapted) have zero qualms about nuclear warheads flying around between old super powers, nor about terrorist states acquiring such capabilities?

I really think these people are more dark and more full of hate than a simple grievance with current social order.

The Democrats have returned to their KKK roots, with gusto.

“...stirring concern in some quarters...”

Gasp! Time to crawl under our desks and say our prayers.

Just more scaremongering, in my opinion. I’m not seeing or hearing anything that justifies moving the nuclear clock ahead.

Russia is far less of a threat than China. This article is purely “look - a squirrel!!”

Confrontation with Russia and China is baked into our progressive national cake.

America’s empire and its globalists, statists, leftists, financiers and massive government cronies live off huge US debt and our printed fiat currency. That must be maintained, or it all crashes.

Russia and China are working to undermine that.

Russia is target #1, because it is in Europe

I hope that Julian Assange will be able to tell us what actually happened, and that he will be willing to do so. Then Russia is owed an abject apology.

War! Is that what you call killing 200 plus Russian troops is Syria who were acting as merc’s for Vladimir Putin.

Well we’re already at war with Russia.In a sense it’s time that Russia learned that it cannot have its way like they have in the past.

Vladimir Pozner: How the United States Created Vladimir Putin

That’s coming from an old reformed Communist and a big time Putin critic but mostly spot on. Lengthy but worth a watch for anyone interested in a subject.
