President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the world should “prepare” for Russian leader Vladimir Putin to use nuclear weapons in his invasion of Ukraine – and urged air-raid shelters and anti-radiation medicine to be readied for the potential calamity.
In an interview with CNN that aired Sunday, Zelensky was asked whether Putin would deploy chemical or nuclear tactical weapons to further his military goals in Ukraine.

Im not American. We grew up in Asia, (hi Hong Kong!) and my pa and gramps both worked for British companies. My first trip to Spain was on the British P&O Oriana, with British officers and lascar crew.
Globalism is NOT new.
He was looking for an independent path to lead his country to.
Globalists did not care for his plan. As you state, he was murdered.
Side note - I’ve seen his name spelled with a G, Q, and K...
No one really thinks you’re gay!
Most Americans wouldn't know what "lascar crew" is.
Fortunately, I've read the Destroyermen series.
If Russia launches nukes, how can anyone blame anybody but the Russians?

History
Founded in 2016, The Duran is a strongly right-leaning news and opinion website with ties to Russian state media. Based in Cyprus, the website’s editor is Alexander Mercouris, who in 2012 was disbarred as an attorney in London. According to the Telegraph, he then went on to become a “pro-Russian commentator on world affairs for Russian TV news outlets and websites.”
The Duran’s director is Peter Lavelle, the host of RT’s (Russian state news outlet) political debate program CrossTalk.
In 2018, the right-leaning Weekly Standard accused The Duran of peddling Russian “Fake News.”
The website does not provide an about page, mission statement, funding, or obvious ownership information.

Analysis / Bias
In review, The Duran publishes news and opinions with a conservative and pro-Russian perspective, such as this: Roger Stone Shines New Light on Russia-Gate Hoax. This story is copied and pasted directly from the pro-Russian Strategic Culture Foundation. However, all articles involving Russia are generally positively slanted, such as Russia Grinds Out Wins In Europe and Trump boxed in on Iran, as Putin holds key to prevent war in Persian Gulf (Video). In addition, many articles are poorly sourced from Russian Propaganda outlets such as RT and Sputnik.
When covering the USA, the Duran demonstrates a conservative bias with frequent articles denigrating the left such as this: Rudy Giuliani DESTROYS Hillary Clinton, “America’s Number One Crime Family” (Video), and this story promoting a conspiracy theory, NXIVM Sex-Cult Prosecutors Have Evidence Of Illegal Clinton Campaign Contributions For “Political Influence.” This last story is copied and pasted from the right-wing conspiracy website Zerohedge.
In general, The Duran routinely publishes pro-Russian propaganda and promotes right-wing conspiracies through the use of poorly sourced, plagiarized news articles.
-—He tried-—
Based on a large project I had a very small part in, I think the old man allowed his son to take on and complete very successful public works. That is perhaps he relented after witnessing success.
The project was the Great Man Made River. I think the son is Saif and survived the slaughter. He has I believe resurfaced recently. He was westernized and knew how to get around in the world
Bless your heart.
Nobody reads your bullsqueeze, BTW.
Don’t be deceptive.
I have NEVER described either the Cossack parody or playing piano anything other than comedy.
**Just don’t use ad hominem argument is a personal attack against the source of an argument, rather than against the argument itself.
This merely becomes a misdirection form discussion topic/ :)
“and lascar crew”
“Most Americans wouldn’t know what “lascar crew” is.”
Quite. I’m not American.
You've mentioned that several times. I got it the first time.
Well, I just did.
The “Duran” site seems to use the usual US right-wing material to give it credibility with the US Right. Now, that material, in itself, is perfectly innocuous in that sense, that of US right-wing messaging, but in the Duran’s case it is not original. Its camouflage filched from actual US sites (maybe even FR), and there is nothing original from a US right-wing POV. The Moscow connection is very obvious however.
Its the old “a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down” strategy. That is, its a highly targeted Russian regime propaganda site. There is nothing wrong with that, as such. Your lot needs its propaganda as much as anyone. The Devil should get his due. But the false pretenses and multiple cutouts are disconcerting. Dirty pool old boy.
You're confused.
We're actually seeing in REAL TIME on Free Republic that the "US right-wing" is heavily fractured between neocon warmongers, old-timey anti-Russian Cold Warriors, Trump anti-war people and people who listen to the Voices on The TeeVee.
The Duran has actually opened my eyes wide to the neocon scum who were part of The 2020 "Election"/January 6th Coup, and who are now puppeting the Senile Ice Cream Dolt.
It's allowed me to put a face on the neocon scum on the continent, as well.
Soros stooges are so boring.
One of my best friends from high school has even more languages than I do. He can pass for a continental Castilian Spaniard in language and physical appearance [makes trips to Spain regularly]. It's impressive to me.
He's currently studying Hungarian, which looks like an interesting language. 
All the Soros stooges are squealing about it, in fact.
It’s like open borders or schiavo or mad Ivan dustups here
The Z BRIGADE is unwilling to discisss this politely .....and some alt right folks or hand off or it’s not outrageous fight folks are rude too
Which many here know nothing about
Alt right here has the edge numbers wise
Neocons and cold warriors are louder though
Makes it about an even match
Plus the Z folks here have 90% of media institutions tech and govt figures in the west on their team
Bernie and Soros teamed with this forum
I can’t say I saw that coming honestly
Agree, there was considerable improvement in conditions inside Libya.
I think the son is Saif and survived the slaughter. He has I believe resurfaced recently. He was westernized and knew how to get around in the world.
As far as I know, that is correct.
You are confused. Whatever is in that Cypriot Trojan Horse is copied (other than the Russian stuff).
Actual American sites are original in content and DID real time cover all the election troubles, etc. If you want your Claus Schwab foolishness, its out there too. The “neocon scum” were outed back in 2009, for those paying attention at the time. That is OLD.
The essay that put the seal on the current US right wing worldview is, IMHO, Angelo Codevilla’s “America’s Ruling Class—and the Perils of Revolution”
This American, and global, problem is not a matter of individuals and cliques, but classes, systems and economics. Its sociology, not conspiracy.
