Biden must be crystal clear with Putin and his generals about risks of nuclear war
FOX News.com ^ | March | Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis, (ret.)

Posted on 03/02/2022 2:42:56 PM PST by Kaslin

Putin has already demonstrated poor judgment by invading Ukraine believing his army would have the upper hand

Like it or not America is at war with Vladimir Putin’s Russia. It doesn’t matter if the Kremlin tyrant is irrational, ill or crazy – the West faces a credible threat beyond the carnage in Ukraine. To stop Putin, we may be forced to return to the bad old Cold War days of mutually assured nuclear destruction. That policy served us well then and it remains valid today.

resident Biden must find the gumption to be crystal clear with Putin and his generals. Tell them to stop escalating the Ukraine crisis to a global stand-off. Then announce to the world that America’s nuclear forces will return to an indefinite high alert status, a necessary move.

This didn’t need to happen but we have no real choice. Yes, we must respond to Putin escalating his Ukraine war to one threatening all the West, almost as if he scripted it for prime time television.

Recall, on Sunday he staged a video of himself sternly stating and then commanding Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the Russian General Staff General Valery Gerasimov that "… western countries are not only taking unfriendly actions against our country in the economic area … [but] leading NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization] countries are making aggressive statements against our country as well. For this reason, I order the defense minister and chief of the general staff to put Russian nuclear deterrent forces on the highest alert."

Biden is incapable of being crystal clear on anything.

I think we are now closer to nuclear war than at any time since the Cuban missile crisis. I just hope it’s not part of the plan.

President Dunsel is incapable of having a meaning conversation about anything with anyone.

"Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia." No.

America is not at war with Russia.

There isn't going to be a nuclear war anymore than COVID was going to wipe out civilization as we know it.

Looks like FOX News ran a poll and discovered that public opinion was running against their support of Putin. So now they’ll change their narrative and act like they’ve ALWAYS opposed Putin and supported Ukraine.

No different than the rest of the MSM.

Well, we’re doomed, then.

OTOH, would anyone really get his knickers in a twist just now if Moscow were the ones that went all crispy-like? After all, they’re the ones who started all this.

I think Biden wants us to be attacked.

It would give him EVERYTHING he wants...

Starting with Martial Law which eliminates that pesky constitution.

kernel bob Maginnis sounds like a real weenie.

What needs to happen is that Joe-Walter the Preening Puppet and his JoeLitburo puppeteers need to quit screwing around trying to cancel Russia as a nation and Russians individually, at the behest of their TechnoDictator masters.

Boob Maginnis has got this bass-ackwards.

Depends on how you define “being at war”, if you define it as tanks, infantry, rifles, etc...then you are correct we are not a war with Russia.

But if you define it as economic and/or cyber warfare, then we are most definitely at war with Russia.

We have weaponized the US Dollar in an attempt to crash Russia’s economy and currency hoping to achieve regime change in Russia.

Plus, it’s common knowledge that Russia is top notch in the cyberwarfare arena, I’m sure for every attempt Russia makes we are making counter moves in the cyber arena.

Personally I think we are in a 21st Century right now with Russia and China has been in a 21st Century with the USA from quite some time now.
