CNN ^ | 26-MAY-2022 | Jim Sciutto, Natasha Bertrand and Alex Marquardt

Posted on 05/26/2022 4:40:17 PM PDT by SpeedyInTexas

The Biden administration is preparing to step up the kind of weaponry it is offering Ukraine by sending advanced, long-range rocket systems that are now the top request from Ukrainian officials, multiple officials say.

The administration is leaning toward sending the systems as part of a larger package of military and security assistance to Ukraine, which could be announced as soon as next week.

Why on earth would the Russians use nuclear weapons in areas that will likely be part of Russia soon where the war is taking place?

If they wanted to level a city like Kiev at any time with a "shock and awe" campaign. They wouldn't need nuclear weapons.

You prove everyday that you're dumb, redneck the sucks up Biden regime propaganda and regurgitates here.

“The US doesn’t want it over by Monday,”

But we’ve been assured by you guys (well, maybe not you specifically; but pro-Russia posters) that the war is all but over; just days at the max.

So, which is it?

“the HIMARS, can launch as far as 300km, or 186 miles, depending on the type of munition”.

Won’t reach Moscow...

The US s using its military satellites to provide Ukraine the exact coordinates to take out Russian targets. By rights that should entitle Russia to take out those satellites, especially if being used to target sites within Russia. That of course would be an act of war, which so far Russia has avoided doing. But with the US continuing to raise the stakes, at some point Russia will say screw it, its on. I’m sure that will excite all the war monger idiots on here. Be careful of what you wish for.

Apparently he speaks for the Commander in Diapers. Which is more than Joe can say.

There are 435 Members of Congress and 33 Senators up for election in November - and "we" have almost no one running.

“Given that the Russians control both air space and Black Sea, any attempts to use these missiles will result in death for those trying to fire them. That is if they can even manage to get them into the country and set them before Russian bombs start flying.”

Then you have nothing to worry about. And you can rejoice in all the death and destruction wrought by Russia’s “bombs flying.” It should warm the cockles of your heart.

Poland submitted a letter of intent today requesting permission to buy 500 HIMARS systems.

“We called them Dinks.”

That, too. And “slopes,” and “slants.” Give me a minute and I’ll recall some more.

Everyone of those ex-Soviet block countries need to be kicked out of NATO, starting with Poland, which is the worst troublemaker.

“I’ve noticed all the pro-Ukraine war posters on here are unusually superficial and stupid, is that just a coincidence, or is there something more to it?”

I think they’re forced to ACT stupid, as they clearly know the facts* now by staying on this site, despite sucking up to the Neocons. Maybe they didn’t know the facts at the start, but now they locked-into supporting the Neocons on this.

*among the facts:

1. Ukraine existed before Feb. 24, 2022, and bad things were happening then.

2. Ukraine was and is the Money Laundering capital of the World for the Democrats, the Deep State, and the Neocons

3. Russia is not being hurt, at all, by Sanctions - only Americans and Europeans are feeling pain, with Europe possibly going back to a pre-industrial society.

4. Russia will NEVER leave the parts of Ukraine that it wants. There will be either new borders for Ukraine or WW3, or both. That choice is up to us.

5. Russia will soon have Donbas wrapped up and will continue eest until the Neocons decide to end their war. And they will take the gloves off as they leave the Russian-speaking areas and start fighting the way they do in other wars (like Chechnya and Syria), where protecting civilians will no longer be a priority for them.

6. We’re in the process of giving a HUGE NUMBER of our best weapons to Russia, via Ukraine, so that they can develop and test counter-weapons. Those weapons will soon be useless against Russia, and possibly China.

Well, Poland is NATO, and the Russians have been threatening Poland lately, as well as the Baltics (also NATO). Of course, it could all just be bluff and bluster from a bully. But Poland’s history vis-à-vis Russia...well, I can understand why Poland is “anxious.”

...and in 3 years or so, they’ll start taking delivery.
