There is no better indication that Russia is losing a war than when the NYT starts to take their side.

Well I agree with most of what you say. Not sure I’d agree with Russia using a tactical nuke over Ukraine. Is that sort of escalation worth Ukraine?

“It appears to me that we ARE at war with Russia.”

Correct-o-mundo! That’s right.

The Soviets gave the US and NATO an ultimatum on December 10, 2022 and told us to give them all of Eastern Europe or else they’d go to war. And go to war they have.

The Soviets want their slaves back and Ukraine is just one of several countries they intend to enslave. We stand between them and their delusions of empire.

These scumbags are actually frustrated because we aren’t caving in to their demands and we’re not impressed by their endless and tiresome nuclear threats.

FYI here are the Soviet demands from 12/10/2021:

Article 1: the parties should not strengthen their security at the expense of Russia’s security;

Article 2: the parties will use multilateral consultations and the NATO-Russia Council to address points of conflict;

Article 3: the parties reaffirm that they do not consider each other as adversaries and maintain a dialogue;

Article 4: the parties shall not deploy military forces and weaponry on the territory of any of the other states in Europe in addition to any forces that were deployed as of May 27, 1997;

Article 5: the parties shall not deploy land-based intermediate- and short-range missiles adjacent to the other parties;

Article 6: all member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization commit themselves to refrain from any further enlargement of NATO, including the accession of Ukraine as well as other States;

Article 7: the parties that are member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization shall not conduct any military activity on the territory of Ukraine as well as other States in the Eastern Europe, in the South Caucasus and in Central Asia; and

Article 8: the agreement shall not be interpreted as affecting the primary responsibility of the Security Council of the United Nations for maintaining international peace and security.

“Legally we have been at war with Russia since we provided direct arms to a belligerent in a conflict”

Care to cite the specific portion of the United States Code that says this?

Here’s the link if you’d like to go hunting for this legality of yours:

As for Biden, the French castigate mediocrities with the saying ‘ce nes pas un homme serieus’ (he is not a serious person). And please forgive my execrable French spelling.

It does matter if we think we’re not at war with Russia. It matter’s what they think.

IMO: Jobama is nothing more than a patsy president who hasn’t a clue. Dragging the US in to a war is necessary for the NWO pukes to keep their power and wealth and to demagogue and rid themselves of Putin. Yes, Putin is a war criminal but he’s right about Zelensky serving Soros and his NWO overlords.

Russia is primed to launch a preemptive strike against NATO. NATO refuses to allow a negotiated peace. This can only end one way with the current crop of White House warmongers.

Is the NYT trying to say America actually wants to finally win a war?

Good observation with regard to the French phrase.

It will take someone above my pay grade to talk down your
French.

LOL

That’s way Obama Biden wants Iran to start a nuclear conflict beginning with Israel. Russia will do something that puts doomsday clocks at 60 seconds before midnight.

As much of a ghoul as Henry Kissinger is, it’s hard to fathom him maneuvering us into a land war with Russia.

These a=holes have pointed the finger at conservatives and said we would do this for what, the last 30 years?

Then they go and do it.

Americans are so damn stupid it’s hard to defend us.

If a city gets nuked, the Dems will blame conservatives.... and sure as I’m typing here, it will be accepted as gospel for time immortal.

Maybe.

But they sure can punch a few out.

Would they? Would America strike back? Or surrender? I have no clue.

"If reports are true America providing intelligence to Ukraine leading to multiple Russian casualties, the sinking of a warship, another warship hit with an antiship missile, a Russian troop transport plane being downed...I’m thinking the Russians are not going to take it without some sort of response."

That could easily take the form of one of those hypersonic missiles hitting one of our large carriers at 9000 mph...
