So you’re saying that I’m either stupid or dishonest.

That’s not very nice.

Hi.

“This is the United States conducting war on Russia.”

Close, the eord is, “proxy” war on Russia, just like they did in Korea and Vietnam.

And the U.S. did with Afghanistan.

Fwiw.

Being a useful idiot for nuclear warmongers isn’t very nice either.

Most of the fighting is going on in territory that Russia has just annexed as their own. Don’t think that it would look for Russia to nuke their own territory.

I may be an idiot, but at least I’m useful.

“...the side that can most efficiently deploy more effective equipment operated by better-trained personnel has typically emerged victorious.”

I don’t think wokism creates better trained “personnel”.

The author accused of racism blocked her Twitter account. Did you know about her before using this article?

Nuclear warmongers?


I don’t think he’s pro-Putin. No one expects the US to use nukes in Ukraine (or at least not first). It is discussed, however, that Russia may use nukes. So Russia is a nuclear warmonger here.

“While I reserve judgement on this war, I am heartened by the seeming ineptitude of the Russian military.

The seem to stink on ice.”

I agree with you and a lot of countries are taking notice. I have to wonder how much of it is a moral issue.

According to the article this happened at the airbase at Belbek, about 6 miles northeast of Sevastopol.

The US Deep State and WEF and the globalist oligarchy desperately want a global thermonuclear war to implement their great reset and have done everything in their power to trigger one.

We fomented a revolution/coup in 2014, caused a civil war and sided with the neo-Nazis and Ukrainian nationalists that wanted to exterminate the ethnic Russian population.

Then we encouraged Ukraine to ignore the Minsk Agreement it signed that would have brought peace to the region.

We armed Ukraine with offensive weapons, teased Ukraine NATO membership and opened biological weapons labs there.

And finally, when Russia responded to all that, we claimed they invaded Ukraine for no good reason to annex territory.

This world is turned upside down! Far Right Watch is accusing people of being racist? I thought only the Left did that?

Expressing one’s opinion on the TRUTH about Islam isn’t racist.

And jokes about Arabs preferring camels over women is a common trope on Free Republic. That and goats, boys, and sheep.

Well, Russia has been waging war on us since WW2, so it is only fair to fight back.

__”Tactical battlefield nukes, here we come”

A thought experiment.

How would they be deployed?

Even the ones designed to maximize ionizing radiation.

Perhaps on an active airfield or major hardened target if any still exists.

With the newest Putin claims however the wind blows the fallout will be on Mother Russia.

More punishment and murder of a city of civilians or two?

Taking out most of what is left of Kyiv and thousands of civilians; for a shot at Zelenskyy?

Why would you believe anything in the gaslight press? They lied about WMDs and started a war that got a million people killed and flooded the West with primitive invaders. They lied about Russia Collusion and COVID to steal an election. You aren't one of those people who believe in learning from experience, are you?
