Ukraine is readying evacuation centers in its capital city of Kyiv in preparation for a potential nuclear attack following warnings from Russian President Vladimir Putin that his country would take every necessary action to claim victory.
Putin recently threatened that Russia would not hesitate to deploy nuclear weapons against what he called “a threat to the territorial integrity of our country.”
The preparations come following Russia’s escalatory move in the war to annex parts of occupied Ukraine following referenda in each of the areas. The votes were viewed by a large swath of the international community as illegitimate and Ukraine’s allies, including the U.S., condemned Russian annexation.
The City Council of Kyiv says evacuation centers are being equipped with potassium iodine pills, which can help against radiation absorption, in the event of a nuclear strike on the capital.

I would say whoever wants it, ITS YOURS.
None of this has to do with the people. It has to do with the idiotic jackasses running the world.
Couldn’t
agree
more.
Putin winning hearts and minds the old fashioned way.
You two make me very glad we had patriots like Reagan in charge during the Cold War.
You would have surrendered Europe to the Soviets and we would be living in a world under total Communist domination by now.
Wonder what Brandon will do, I guess if it’s just a minor nuclear attack he’ll let it go.
Putin may be evil, but he’s not an idiot. He wouldn’t blow up a pipeline that was 100 percent financed by the Germans. You can slap your bitch around, and sometimes you must, but you don’t disable her. You need her ass back on the street.
I don’t think that Kiev is in the area that Russia annexed.
Send the money via Hunter Biden and 10% will go to the “big Guy”.
Except for a few that were lying around.
Your post is utterly insane and what’s WORSE is that you are absolutely right!!
>But the point is - your willingness to try to give Russia political cover - is really revealing.
I don’t trust either side. Both sides are at fault and the war needs to end quickly. The only reason both sides are fighting is for mineral rights in eastern Ukraine.
“Ukraine is spitting on anyone trying to come up with a way to end this peacefully.”
You mean you want Ukraine to surrender.
This thing could end this afternoon if Russia declared a cease fire and removed all its forces from Ukraine, as it was internationally recognized in 2013.
LOL - keep demonstrating how clueless you are, honey.
You ankle-nippers crack me up.
Your thinking is sound.
We’re in a limited war with Russia. What exactly this means is continuously subject to change. Russia is constrained by the probable response by the west; and, visa versa.
You don’t want to go straight to an all-out war with Russia if they use one or two tactical nukes. The scenario you describe - wiping out all Russian forces in Ukraine - might be sufficient. You want to get the job done and still leave an incentive (another level of escalation) for Putin to seek a negotiated settlement.
Then you see what Putin does.
Putin is in way over his head. This thing was supposed to be over three or five days after it started. At this point, Russia has taken huge loses of its standing army, and has dipped deeply into its so-called reserve. And, it’s being pushed back in three places.
Possibly Putin could cut his loses with a negotiated settlement at this point. But, Putin is currently threatening to use the nuclear option as re-doubling the use of conventional force is clearly not realistic.
Hey, why not resort to threats? If Putin gets his way with threats, then the threats work. Hitler got away with a lot with threats. But, success with threats emboldened him. In 1939, Hitler did not think England would go to war over Poland. When England did, Hitler turned to his foreign minister and said, now what do we do? The thing is, France could have stopped Hitler by occupying the Ruhr, and France and England could have called Hitler’s bluff over the Sudetenland. Standing up to dictators is what we learned is how you prevent aggression, not giving in to threats.
I’m not going to say threatening to use the nuclear option is Putin’s last trick. Actually using tactical nukes is his next trick, and then threatening and using strategic nuclear weapons are his next following tricks. The old-fashioned communists wouldn’t do such a crazy thing, because they actually believed that communism would eventually prevail over capitalism. But, in what does Putin believe? Money, mansions, yachts and hot chicks.
Putin’s fable about the origins of Russia, that it is a unique civilization, etc., etc., is what he does to cajole stupid and drunk Russians into joining his army and getting themselves killed against well-trained and well-equipped Ukrainians. While this looks pathetic to us, Russians have little or no access to independent information.
Well duh! Biden threatened to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines, now that they are blown up, we're blaming Russia!
Do try to keep up, we've always been at war with Eastasia...
We went through great pains to recover Soviet warheads from The Soviet diesel-electric submarine K-129.
That material would be traced directly to the rodina...
People like you are fossils that have paid no attention to what has been going on in the world since Reagan.
America is no longer Reagan America . It is not run by good people. It is run by world dominating bullies along with the UK and EU counterparts. The other side also has much the same run by the same. I speak mostly for America because I was born here.
Unfortunately for people such as you, you are about to find out how awful the war for domination is going to become. There is no win coming no matter what happens in Ukraine. It will just set the next move in motion. Wake up.
There will be no good side until the Greatest Return reset.
I was mentioning that earlier, but we are no longer paying any attention to facts. The best propaganda gets the win.
Not to mention, material of other sources can be planted to mess with investigations. That also brings up the fact that maybe there will be no time for that once nukes get lobbed about.
Excellent point.
Generally a good post, but a few things worth pointing out.
Hitler didn’t have nukes. Putin does. Hitler never should’ve been appeased but a miscalculation with Putin is very different than a miscalculation with Hitler. I do believe Putin will commit very irrational acts if he’s sure to go down. Over the last 22 years Putin has carefully constructed a very loyal inner-ring who are loyal to the death. Not saying appease Putin, but I am saying a miscalculation would be catastrophic. You’re right, the commies probably wouldn’t have used strategic nukes, but Putin will if he has to and sees no way out.
The real moral of the story is no additional nations should be allowed to acquire nukes. Iran needs to be removed from the map if necessary to prevent them from obtaining nukes. Too lake for NK.
We’ll see how this situation ends, but it’s going to get worse before it’s gets better and the Biden regime is the last group we want negotiating or making decisions on our behalf.
We do have the fab two. The Vindmen Brothers. Trump haters both.
