I didn’t dispute the numbers, just the effects due to those much, much, lower numbers.

A tA tactical nuke is one of three Russian options to reverse US interests in the Ukraine.

The Russians are winning, big. And, they are trying to liberate and save the lives of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, where the war is taking place. So, why would they harm the people they are trying to help?

My complaint about him is that in general he is not critical of Russia but is very critical of the US.

He’s a smart guy; but on this subject (Russia, Ukraine, US) he is fully on Russia’s side, and I don’t agree with his reasons.

That’s not an ad hominem (BTW: It’s spelled with an “e,” not a second “I”). I just happen to think he is biased in favor of Russia.

He also said this about Trump:

“It’s obvious that Trump did something wrong,” said John Mearsheimer, professor of political science at the University of Chicago and an expert in international relations. “The actual use of American power to gain leverage over a country or to coerce another country is done all the time. What’s special about this case is that it was done for the purpose of influencing domestic politics. It was done with the purpose of helping Trump win the 2020 election.”

And you can rejoice in all the death and destruction wrought by Russia’s “bombs flying.”

Trust me, I rejoice every time I hear about the Russians wiping the neo-Nazi a-holes, who have been using civilians as human shields and persecuting those in Donbass, off the face of the earth.

The only good Nazi is a DEAD Nazi!

Isn’t that what Russia did in Cuba in the 60’s?

I was on the Naval Base in Cuba when all that occurred.

SAN DIEGO —

U.S. border agents have seized two truckloads of military assault rifles and grenade launchers that were mysteriously smuggled into this country through the Port of Long Beach and were addressed to Mexico City, officials said.

“I didn’t dispute the numbers, just the effects due to those much, much, lower numbers.”

But those lower numbers have more powerful yields. We went for more bang for the buck, and so did the Russians.

Article by Chris Morris, April, 2022:

“But the impact of 100 weapons the size of the one that fell on Hiroshima would lower temperatures around the world to below those of the Little Ice Age that occurred from roughly 1300 to 1850. That would result in crop failures and famine on a wide scale.”

As you know, the Hiroshima bomb was tiny compared to the thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bomb) we now have. So think: If 100 Hiroshima bombs could do that, what do you think, say, a couple thousand hydrogen bombs would do?

You’re insane. You’re a fanatic.

Here, read this. It’s Wikipedia but I don’t have the time or inclination to search for scientific articles and scroll through them. But this has footnotes that you can look up:

Here, about your comrades. For your reading pleasure. Be sure to check the footnotes. And these are just recent (within the last 15 years or so):

The only treaty broken was the 1991 one that Russia signed, promising to respect Ukrainian territorial integrity.

Russia broke that in 2014

Not really.

The Ukrainians were trained by NATO forces before 2022.

No natfirces are in Ukraine as they have to be careful. The Ukrainians got the training and are using it

There are a lot more dead Ukrainians than dead Russians. It’s not even close.

American rocket launchers are not a ‘silver bullet’ and they come with different levels of capabilities depending on the ammo provided.

Mil-industrial complex gets rich while USA Military and American taxpayers get depleted. This was all part of Obama and his oligarch sponsors plan to involve USA in a corrupt Ukraine where the Zelensky gets billions of our military hardware free without even an IOU.

Why are they not working for peace instead of escalation? It is always the same people getting richer while sucking the USA dry, all while they are bringing in millions of sap sucker foreigners most of which will cost us many billions we do not have.
