The United States for several months has been sending private communications to Moscow warning Russia’s leadership of the grave consequences that would follow the use of a nuclear weapon, according to U.S. officials, who said the messages underscore what President Biden and his aides have articulated publicly.
The Biden administration generally has decided to keep warnings about the consequences of a nuclear strike deliberately vague, so the Kremlin worries about how Washington might respond, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive deliberations.
The attempt by the White House to cultivate what’s known in the nuclear deterrence world as “strategic ambiguity” comes as Russia continues to escalate its rhetoric about possible nuclear weapons use amid a domestic mobilization aimed at stanching Russian military losses in eastern Ukraine.
The State Department has been involved in the private communications with Moscow, but officials would not say who delivered the messages or the scope of their content. It was not clear whether the United States had sent any new private messages in the hours since Russian President Vladimir Putin issued his latest veiled nuclear threat during a speech announcing a partial mobilization early Wednesday, but a senior U.S. official said the communication has been happening consistently over recent months.

Putin KNOWS who is in charge.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yep, and the pitiful thing is that tens of millions of Americans DON’T KNOW whose in charge, and firmly believe it’s that senile old fool who lost the 2020 election!

The World Putin Wants: How Distortions About the Past Feed Delusions About the Future
Putin also just released this latest foreign policy initiative, which is very similar to Hitler's Anschluss plan:
Putin approves new foreign policy doctrine based on 'Russian World'
Vladimir Putin backs foreign policy doctrine to 'protect ideals of Russian World'
Just replace the word 'Russian' with 'German' and you'll get the idea.
And yet, they want us to believe that President Trump couldn't possibly have privately declassified documents, or done so in his office with only "U.S. Officials" aware of it.

Hey, that’s the article that YOUR friends keep citing in spreading the lie that there was some kind of peace deal in the making in April that was scuttled by the U.S. and the U.K. I was asked to provide that evidence, and I did. Sorry you don’t approve of it, but it is YOUR source, ultimately.
Biden called me an enemy of the state.
Putin did not.
At this point that would probably make it more likely for him to use it. That’s defensive. I think they want him to use them. The world will never be the same. It’s like a man who thinks of cheating on his wife but always fights the urge. Once he succumbs to it, it becomes easier the next time. In this case, it will make it easier for everyone to use them.
Someone needs to censor moonbats like Ben Hodges. His comments drive even the regular Russians crazy. A couple more weeks of this media frenzy and you’d see enrages Chukchas swimming over the Bering straight with their hunting guns to fight Aleuts in Alaska “before America attacked first”.
Those links aren’t news; they’re blogs and editorials. I trust sources like Reuters and Sky News UK about as far as you can you can throw Stacey Abrams.
This is all propaganda just like the multitudes of garbage that prolifically pollutes this site every day.
WAPO trying to make Poopy Pants sound like a diplomat.
Priceless and yet somehow...worthless.
“I might get really, really mad and forget to ask for my afternoon ice cream....or forget to wait until my Depends are secured to let fly”
Ain’t Joe so smart to keep the plans so vague. What a guy.
Garbage news
BUT, if you won't accept those news reports, then here is the direct link to Putin's "Russian World" policy paper, straight from the Kremlin:
Concept for the Russian Federation's Humanitarian Policy Abroad.
It's a hell of a lot harder to make it happen when "our" president and his gang really don't want to end the war. Biden can "win" if America loses. WaPo? Really?
That’s the same crap you spew at everyone else who’s on to you and your posse.
I guess anyone who doesn’t worship your slimy, corrupt demigod Zelensky is “willfully blind to the truth?”
I was weary of your propaganda six months ago. I certainly have no intention of getting mired in it now.

The Washington Post is simply garbage with nothing to useful to offer. Proof: Hunter Biden’s lap top shows how Biden profits from the US labs in Ukraine. ‘Nuff said.
I do not now and never have supported that mincing little grifter.
I’m tired of his prissy hands groping for my wallet.
his hands are busy right now squeezing biden’ s balls.
in turn, biden squeezes ours.
