Russia could use savage superweapons that vaporize bodies and crush internal organs if their assault of Ukraine becomes bogged down, Western officials warned tonight.
They fear Vladimir Putin could resort to high-power thermobaric weapons - dubbed the 'father of all bombs' - as brave Ukrainians resist his attempts to take control of Kyiv.
There are also concerns that units that are running behind schedule as they encounter stiff opposition could resort to indiscriminate shelling as a terror weapon.
Thermobaric weapons - also known as vacuum bombs - are high-powered explosive that use the atmosphere itself as part of the explosion. They are among the most powerful non-nuclear weapons ever developed.
A thermobaric bomb dropped by the US on Taliban in Afghanistan in 2017 weighed 21,600 pounds and left a crater more than 300 meters (1,000 feet) wide after it exploded six feet above the ground.
Thermobaric weapons were developed by both the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the 1960s. In September 2007, Russia detonated the largest thermobaric weapon ever made, which created an explosion equivalent to 39.9 tons.
The U.S. version of the weapon reportedly costs over $16 million each.
'My fear would be that if they don't meet their timescale and objectives they would be indiscriminate in their use of violence,' the official said. 'They don’t adhere to the same principles of necessity and proportionality and rule of law that Western forces do.'

You are correct in that nothing could prevent it.
But the price could be made so high that Putin, or his successor would regret it.
Russia is never as strong as it thinks it is.
Having something terminal would also make his behavior more explicable.
Ukraine media reports Russian forces have dropped Vaccum Bomb on an Oil depot in Okhtyrka, Sumy Oblast.
This type of weapon is known as the most deadly non-nuclear bomb, producing high-temperature explosions.
That explains the mushroom cloud that appeared after that bombing.

Or the retards accusing a Jewish president of being a Nazi.
Any ideas who the potential replacements are and what they are like

As with Medveds taking over the reins as President awhile back,2008-12 ( Putin was again re-elected after Medved), a few ultra right Nationalists were running on the ticket, however, all “ candidates” tend to remain invisible until elections get close.
What the US public does not understand, Ivan is united and very tired of being pushed around by the West and NATO. The sanctions are laughed away ( Nobama’s sanctions were a joke and backfired, ie, Poland’s fruit industry “ rotted on the vine” as they could no longer send fruit, food products to Russia, their number one consumer), and most all of Nobama’s sanctions backfired. Russians can do without, and in fact started up huge thriving food farms in the Caucas, Kreasnyorsk areas.
I laugh at these current “ sanctions”, Russia and China ( India rumored to join also) started up their own Joint Russia/ China SWIFT system a year or two ago and you will see a huge worldwide drop in USD demand….many countries hold contempt for the USD being the worlds trading currency-( currency market rigging by the Fed) but that will end shortly, end of 2023/24….with disastrous results….senile Joe just shot us in the foot again.
“Hey Putin, if you want to drop THE BOMB, spill everything you know about Biden and co.”
Bingo. Ukraine tried to buy Biden and ended up with war.
Are you serious? Freep is? Why would they do that? They only censor if you write curse words or post some BS leftist propaganda.
I love it, I can’t stop watching it. The acting alone is phenomenal. I’m up to season 4 now where Tony learns Gloria the car saleswoman, the woman he had an affair with, killed herself. I wonder if she really did kill herself or if she was whacked.
Damn Gloria flew right off the Crazy-Hot Matrix.
You’ve been saying that for a few hours now .... numerous times ... and you’re still here ...
LOL! I like the part where Patsy threatens her. She played that part incredibly, shaking like a leaf completely terrified.

BTW her real name is Annabella Sciorra, she’s one of the women who claimed she was raped by the democrat protected slimebag and Hillary fundraiser Harvey Weinstein.
.....
Yep, I remember her from The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
"It won’t be cinematic."
This reads like the DM in 1915. Has the Angel of Moms been spotted or the Crucified Canadian been found?
.
What is that?
Actually Pathans are quite brave for tribal muzzards.
It’s when somebody is fully aware that an information source is false or deceptive in an area they know about, but then fully believe everything that source says about other things.
In this case, conservatives are (supposedly) aware that the MSM lies about pretty much everything, but then turn around and believe everything the MSM is saying about the Ukraine war, right down to believing obviously manufactured propaganda like the “Ghost of Kiev,” etc.
This is military propaganda—Glenn Greenwald did an excellent piece on it yesterday.

Lots of “could” but really no proof of “preparing”... Meant to keep stirring the pot...
It would be nice if reporters actually knew what they were talking about.
