Attack, attack, attack

Doing so would only infuriate the Russian people. You WANT them on your side.

The Ukrainians should be looking to destroy the mobile crematoriums the Russians are using to hide the casualty count from the Russian people. Force the Russians to send body bags back where the Russian people can see the cost of this war.

Does anybody remember that movie "The Day After"? I hope we're not seeing that play out now.

I'm sure it won't come to that, but it could get ugly soon if cooler heads don't prevail.

We’ve been waiting a long time for something like that. Go ahead Putin, do it.

⚡️ Putin ordered the Ministry of Defense to transfer the Strategic Missile Forces (this is not only nuclear weapons, but also the Kinzhal and Zircon hypersonic missiles) to a special mode of combat duty. This is the highest form of combat readiness of these troops.— Mary Ilyushina (@maryilyushina) February 27, 2022

Oh geez whiz, if he’s done that, then I can only imagine what our military might do now as far as posturing or mobilizations. This has the ability to get a whole lot messier now.

Big deal. We did this for many years, both sides.

This looks like more desperation and emotional activity from der Fuhrer.

It’s a concern but all this is a double edged sword. Certainly the Russian generals told Putin they could take Ukraine, but turning that into an all out war with NATO had to be avoided.
If he starts telling them to fight the US and NATO, they will have bug decisions to make.
It is my understanding the Russians always plan to use nukes if they fight NATO. But that doesn’t mean they want to go down that road.

Russia would bomb the cities of Ukraine flat if Ukraine did that.

NATO HQ and Washington DC are viewed as top threats by Putin.

This is not idle Sabre-rattling. Putin will act.

Obama, Susan Rice, Ron Klain - you dipshits better get the fraud Brandon Junta to the negotiating table with Putin pronto, before he vaporizes you with hypersonic nukes.
