The U.S. is developing a plan of response to any potential use of nuclear weapons by Russia, U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said in an interview with CNN on Oct. 3.
“We are following this as closely as we can,” Kirby said.
“And we haven't seen anything that would make us change our strategic posture of containment. So I think you know that we take these threats seriously.”

Well, that makes me feel safe (NOT). Dear Lord in Heaven above, protect us innocents from the folly of these fools before they kill us all!
The Reagan years were red hot, it was an exciting time to be a part of his global struggle against Russia, Reagan was everywhere and employing every means to undermine, oppose, fight, entangle, weaken, frustrate, overpower, bluff, outsell, Russia.
Reagan was a masterful visionary man with a plan and I think his struggle to reach the presidency of the United States was mostly to put into practice his theories on how to destroy the Russian empire and end its threat to the world.
Amen
Here is my concern:
We have no clue what is happening in Russia.
We have no clue what is happening in DC.
For folks who dislike uncertainty this situation could not be worse.
This. This is what those in power think. They know they will be safe in their well stocked bunkers and for the rest of us? Bye-Bye! If anyone thinks that most of the folks in DC give a flip about the rest of us every day people, you are dreaming. Why else would someone like Lindsey Graham or Biden want the US to test Putin to the point of nuclear war? What is the end game? Is this a game of chicken?
So the plan is now “haul a$$ to NORAD, get in, lock the door. Plenty of booze and hookers already below”?
There are no winners in a nuclear war.
M.A.D.
The FR Gen. Jack D. Ripper’s can now all breath a sigh of relief in knowing that their president and Gen. Milley is preparing for the ICBM’s, tactical nukes and all out war.
We have done some stupid crap in the last 35 years but engaging in a thermonuclear war for the crap hole known as the Ukraine will be the: elites, globalists, RINO’s, warmongers and deep state’s epithet of final stupidity.
I’ve yet to find where Putin has threatened to use Nukes either in Ukraine or against us, as opposed to loud mouths who constantly escalate a false threat. If they really try to destroy Russia who knows what Putin will do?
Will Putin defend Russia as he said? He will, but he is not the one talking about using nukes, yet, we are, and as you said it is for cover.
These people are insane, not Putin. They are now expecting Putin to be removed “one way or another” and they are diabolical enough to attempt this.
Well, Russia has different ideas about that, for sure.
They are attempting a color revolution against Russia from Ukraine. It requires all this propaganda overkill day after day.
The idea is that all this will stop if Putin goes. That would just be the beginning though.
One way to make it stop would be for Biden and the NWO supporters to go and leave the world alone.
good point
This is utter madness. All for the want of a squirrel with which to divert America’s attention from a DISASTROUS administration’s performance and their very likely loss of the US House and Senate come November.
They’re not really conservatives.
A lot of them were in favor of the vax mandates as well. They tend to take the Biden position on things more often than not.
Just now developing those plans, are we? I feel better now given we decided to started screwing with a nuclear power from the outset.
Wonder what Biden would do if Russia fomented a revolution in Mexico, installed a puppet government there, set up a few bioweapons labs there (for peaceful purposes of course), sailed a few warships up the Gulf of California and had the Mexican towns bordering the USA ask for help?
I highly doubt the 118th United States Congress will ever be formalized constitutionally. Nuclear war, or the threat, will preempt the Republican victory.
“There is no contingencies - They use nuclear weapons - we die bottom line. There is no winning in a nuclear war.”
There are at least a couple orders of magnitude between the calculated use of a small “backpack” type nuclear weapon and an all-out general nuclear war.
Almost anything done by US/NATO forces in response to a fraction of a kT equivalent yield blip of an explosion could be considered an escalation.
There have been war plans/contingency plans since Washington was president.
It was the Departments of the Navy and War to make up all kinds of plans. This is a historical FACT.
Check our War Plan Red, a 1920s plan to invade Canada if we ever went to war with the British.
Since the DoD was formed from these departments in 1947, it has been the Pentagon's job to have all kinds of war/contingency plans. They change ALL the time. I was in Washington DC (escaped in 1991 for Europe) and at the DIA/Pentagon for 7 years. That's all we did, was game this, game that, calculate order of battle for everyone's military, always adding and subtracting based on the latest intelligence...
It was a lot of work, and we did it 24/7/365.
And even so, we still had 9/11. People here were furious as we didn't seem to have any plan on an enemy using commercial aircraft as weapons...
After 9/11, it became even more intense, as non-nation states, terrorist groups and even non-government organizations like the Red Cross had to be considered.
This isn't a Biden versus Trump thing either, or neocon versus paleocon. Grant did it, so did Garfield, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, FDR, Eisenhower, Reagan, even Jimmy Carter. All nations do this, including the Good Ole USA...
If a leader lets the nuclear genie out of the bottle, no other leader will be able to put the genie back into the bottle.

It isn’t safe at all. Even when I was stationed there in the late 70s, we used to say it would be called “Cheyenne Crater” post war. Ground Zero in so many ways. First Strike Priority.
