If we really want a war with Russia, why don’t we just go ahead and launch a first strike? Why wait for Putin to do it? Do the idiots in Washington not realize the fire they’re playing with? Will they actually be shocked when we’re in a nuclear war? Or would they rather wait for Iran to start one? Are these really the same morons who complained about being afraid of what Trump might do? Are they really that deluded?

Maybe we dont and your whole premise is wrong.
Globalist Leftism must have a secure base from which to operate. The United States IS the point country/frontman for this movement. It provides the defense, public relations, and ideological base for the whole movement. Trump is merely face of the anti-globalist movement. The political Left feels like it has the anti-globalist movement in the US effectively culled...not eradicated...but culled. On the other hand, other nations that stand in the way of this globalist movement cannot be controlled by Washington merely by controlling media, the internet, and international banking. They must effectively be subdued militarily. That’s why you need to be skeptical of anyone on FR who cheerleads efforts to sqash foreign nations under the excuse of it “being in our national interest”. In many cases it is not.
Articles like this won’t piss off Putin at all /s
Direct U.S. military support for a large non-NATO country that shares a long border with Russia, a country with a huge nuclear arsenal. What could possibly go wrong? We are one miscalculation, error or mistake away from a catastrophe. All over a non-NATO country.
Russia knew we would be get deeply involved in this mess and in all likelihood has considered at what point and how to respond to U.S. participation. Not saying Russia’s war against its neighbor is just. Only saying that it doesn’t take much of a spark to ignite a fire that cannot be contained.
This is a European problem; let them provide all the support they want to Ukraine.
” Do the idiots in Washington not realize the fire they’re playing with? Will they actually be shocked when we’re in a nuclear war?”
Judging from what the US geopolitical analysts have been saying, they don’t think Putin would risk nuclear war and that we would be able to bleed his military and financial assets dry via this proxy war. I’m not so sure, I think Putin would consider using tactical nukes if NATO came knocking on his door and Russia appeared in danger of collapsing.
But it’s not just that, there’s always the chance of a computer glitch in the early warning system or similar error that in a time like this with the 2 nuclear powers going head to head, that neither party would hold off to confirm, they would just let those nukes fly. There have been a number of such incidents in the past where calmer heads prevailed and nothing happened. But that certainly isn’t the situation we are in now.

Thank you, General “Buck” Turgison!
