If he’s wrong he’ll be among the first to know.
Depends on where the bomb lands.
Don’t poke the bear, Zel. You don’t know how berserk he can be.
Our young Mr Churchill has a screw loose
I don’t take Vlad as the kind of guy to bluff, myself.
it certainly is a bluff.
The Russian army is in a precarious position as it is. Putin’s generals don’t want a fight with Nato, with 90% of their army tied up in Ukraine.
They would have to consider Lindsay Graham’s advice before they’d find themselves in a nuclear exchange.
We should have our people involved directly, but giving Ukraine weapons of all kinds is OK. Biden is a coward, which we already knew.
“If he’s wrong he’ll be among the first to know.”
Naa, it will be the US or Western Europe. Putin wants to keep Ukraine intact, but doesn’t care about the people who treat him like crap.
“it certainly is a bluff.”
Explains a lot here.
Zelensky is fast becoming a stand up comic.
He should know that Hilter wanted to burn down all of Germany for losing before taking his own life, and any psychopath such as Putin is no different.
It is a bluff. But we’re still not going to fight in that regional war until he establishes what vital national security interest it is to these folks here 5000 miles away he is trying to pull into it for his benefit.
Well, so much for any respect I had for Zelenskyy... this guy is a little boy who was convinced to fight a full grown man. When I was young I made that mistake once and it almost got me killed...
“It is a bluff.”
I don’t see Putin in a hurry to use them, as he has many other options, such as moving on Western Europe first, particularly the idiotic countries that joined NATO but essentially don’t have a military, nor anymore than a handful of NATO troops on their soil.
At that point, I would expect the West to use nukes...and they will almost certainly regret the result, as the Russians have big bombs, REALLY BIG bombs.
His country is being destroyed. The West fears a fight with Russia, regardless of whether it’s nuclear or conventional.
Of course Zelensky is going to argue that the West should come to his aid.
He didn’t say he wanted a nuclear war, he said it won’t happen.
I don’t happen to think a no fly zone makes sense. You might as well interdict the Russian forces directly if you’re going to threaten to shoot them down.
The best we can do is get a lot of ammo and equipment to the Ukrainians, and a few operatives in country.
Biden blew the chance to give the Russians pause before they invaded.
Watch the movie Threads... one of the most depressing movies ever. The start of the conflict leading to all out nuclear war was Soviet incursion into Iran. The conflict just steadily escalated over a period of months until they exchange a few demonstration nukes back and forth, then the all out exchange. That makes everyone either dead or wishing they dead.
Zelensky needs to shut UP. Do not poke a rabid bear.
Sad, so very very sad.
