"I never thought, in my wildest imagination, that the United States would be involved in a Nuclear War. "
Truth Social ^ | 5/23/2022 | President Donald Trump

Posted on 05/23/2022 10:19:58 PM PDT by Mount Athos

"Now, however, because of our leaders rhetoric and very poor choice of words, it is perhaps more likely to happen than not. Russia/Ukraine would NEVER have happened under a TRUMP Administration. Now there are fewer cards to play, but still very playable. China up next?"

For the sake of this nation and the world, most of which I don't give a damn about, Biden has to be removed from office.

He is cognitively impaired to the point of being seriously and dangerously senile and a threat to virtually every one on the planet. He's shooting his mouth off about overthrowing Putin and now say's we'll involve ourselves militarily if China invades Taiwan. His handlers and paid liars and clean up crew can't go on for ever changing his verbal diapers. And then Heels Up steps in. It's either we're nuked to death or it's the cackling hyena. This is a freaking nightmare.

Trump spoke similar comments verbally on a radio interview the same day here:

What’s dangerous is Russia/Putin backed into a corner. They’re learning a valuable lesson in this. Trump could negotiate a way out if it for both countries. Biden blessing? No way. No need for permission as the US is not ‘officially’ involved but we do have an interest in ending this conflict. So does China. It won’t be enough to get Biden’s blessing.

Well sail We’re in the greatest danger in our history. We’re very close to a Perfect Total Destruction Storm.

Weirdly, Biden is saying the right things about Taiwan.

The Obama cartel that runs things “walks it back”.

Still, women can’t stand him. Perhaps we won’t need them if enough blacks and latinos switch our way but we can’t count on it.

Perhaps he can lighten up. Get us laughing at the left the way Rush did.

I knew we would get to this point. That’s why when the teachers told me it was time for the drill, I put my books squarely on top of my head and held them tight.

We had groups of people protesting nuclear weapons for decades. Where are they now?

What a load of BS. NO ONE is preventing Russia from removing their troops from the Ukraine and stopping the killing and destruction.

Russia has no reason to withdraw. They’re being backed into a corner with no face saving way out. They will win or they will destroy everything they can as they go down.

Russia has no reason to withdraw.

That is absurd. How about to stop getting their military, both men and material bled out? Or how about to stop getting their economy destroyed long term?

It will not be US vs NATO, most of NATO will get cold feet and bow out leaving us and a few nations, like Poland, to pay the bill. We will not be fighting just Russia but China as well. If they stop sending us stuff—we fold up flat. Putin couldn’t lose when he shook hands with Xi of China. Russia is gathering her friends in preparation for WW III. Another China based Pandemic? Middle east problems to stop oil? WE could lose this one big. Russia gets Alaska Back, China Hawaii (an independent monarch with close ties to China).

That doesn't seem likely now.

The fall of Poposnaya was a huge step forward: Severodonetsk is trapped in a pocket. The Russian's step-by-step artillery-heavy strategy is breaking up the UDF concentrations in the Donbass. They aren't running out of shells or missiles, and they don't seem to be in a hurry.

In any case: the first step in any 'back-to-the-wall' global escalation by the Russians would be the wholesale degradation of satellites, rather than the use of nuclear weapons.

But I am worried about the neo-cons in the US (Biden, Nuland, Obama etc). They don't live in reality, and they don't have a backward gear. Those fruit-loops might well make a bid for some kind of nuclear escalation.
