Everyone apparently is under the misimpression that we can’t have a nuclear war because everyone’s arenal is just all ICBM’s or something.

We can have a lot of nuclear war without every touching an ICBM.

The entire strategy for repelling an overwhelming Russian invasion of Germany was the use of tactical nuclear weapons for example.

The poll on Ukraine was conducted online and in English throughout the United States. It gathered responses from 831 adults and has a credibility interval, a measure of precision, of 4 percentage points.

Another GIGO poll.

They forgot about the 1980s. I grew up then and was absolutely frightened of the apocalypse.

>>annexing Belarus,

Haven’t they already done that?
- demanded their nukes
- invaded from their territory
- channeled the worst of the dangerous thugs running the borders from the middle east in hopes they might corrupt rock solid Poland and Hungary.

Sounds like galley slaves to me.

Yes this war is already very costly for Russia in loss of currency value, shares of its leading companies in the toilet and 20% interest rates. Putin has to resolve this and fast.

Do you remember the left frothing at the mouth to confront the evil world power the USSR in its day? I don’t either.

I bet they don’t understand the full consequences. Although Putin needs killing.

This is all just too much. Just obscene what is going on in the world.

If Americans were that foolish, Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections, would it...

The only thing flying over Ukraine, for the most part, are drones.

Good luck enforcing that. 80mph aluminum tube and nearly targetless...

Historically, its been all too easy to whip up war hysteria among Americans, who unfortunately have a limited memory and knowledge of history. Examples: Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, deceit cooked up by Robert McNamara and LBJ, passed 98-2 in the Senate, unanimous in the House. Bush’s Iraq War, all based on lies, passed the Senate by 76-23. When things turned sour, support dwindled to a minority and many of the Senators who had voted for these resolutions disclaimed them. I remember Walter Mondale being a war hawk supporter of LBJ; on Jan. 20, 1969, he did a 180 when Nixon was inaugurated. And the troops and their families got left holding the bag with no prosecutions for the liars. Don’t think it won’t happen again.

I think this also answers the question of how many people in the United States are idiots.

NATO leader said today....NO to a no fly zone because if they do that it’s a declaration of war between NATO and Russia and would mean further deaths and destruction for other Nato states....and they will not do that.
