Russia rolls out more threats against the West - analysis
The Jerusalem Post ^ | January 22, 2023 | SETH J. FRANTZMAN

Russia’s “nuclear war” rhetoric appears every few months, on a kind of cycle. Whenever the West and Ukraine appear to be winning and Ukraine is being strengthened, then Russia will roll out this talk. It will also mobilize other voices to make it seem that Ukraine isn’t interested in “peace” and that Ukraine is “escalating.” This terminology is misplaced because it is Russia that escalated and invaded Ukraine.

However, Moscow wants to shift focus to what the West is doing...

Quality matters much more than quantity in this case. Russian leaders are vain and lacking in discipline in some ways.

For example, compare Russia's nonfunctional aircraft carrier to China's aircraft carrier.

Russia rolls out more threats against the West - analysis==

It is not a threat just warning. Remember in 2020 Russia warned West about that the development in Novorossya will bring a war?

It brought as we know now.

So right now Russia warns again that further development of this war will bring nukes into usage. So again it is a just warning. You may not believe it but don’t say you wasn’t warned.

Amazing, 43 replies and you’re the only one catching that and elaborating. China is winning this “war.” Fools. I don’t think they’ll wake up. They’ll bicker about Russia and Ukraine while America is taken over completely by China. Check mate.

The Belgorod is off our East coast...see my posting history.

Its 3-4 minutes to hit the WH.

We cannot detect the sub underwater or defend against/detect? the nuclear torpedoes (6) that it carries.

No warning or such brief warning that there won’t be time for two secret codes.

“These “Neocons,” as you call them, have apparently been in control of the US government since GHWB (that would be Bush I).”

“as you call them”
Correction, as WIKIPEDIA calls them, something I’ve explained to you in the past.

Those Neocons didn’t have any women in positions of power back then. Since then, Albright, Neuland, and of course Skunk Cabbage have all but DEMANDED a nuclear war with Russia.

Not all Neocons are the same, and there were ADULTS at the top who understood what a nuclear war meant, so even if the hyper-emotional babes wanted a nuclear war, they were out of luck.

Check under your bed for neocons and Nazis. You might even find a few fellow Putin smoochers too. Clowns like you never uttered the word Nazi, until Putin invaded Ukraine.

They continue to deny the Nazi issues in Ukraine because to admit it might mean Putin was correct about them being there and active. Heck I knew Ukraine had a Nazi issues long before this conflict......it was well known and still is. They’re like rats in a drain pipe popping out when an event occurs where they want to be seen and heard. Although since before 2014 they were above ground - and front and center in the elections.

You are another BobL style liar or fool. The Nazis in the Ukrainian army are about 2000. As in 2000 in the Azov battalions, to make you go real or fake hysterical. Real or fake stupid, still to be determined. Just another acting out nutter?

As with BobL you must look under your bed for Nazis. STAT!

Correct, since I don’t do foreign policy for a living, but rather pay most attention to US policy, I admit not following the Ukrainian Nazi problem. So what’s the point, since the media sure was following it?

I like foreign policy more. Such as our trade deficits. International economic and manufacturing competition. The invasion over our southern border. Asian manufacturing and trade with us. Chinese fentanyl poisoning Americans.

I recently has to buy a refrigerator quickly. The usual brands were out of stock/ supply chain problems? The one I bought was made in Thailand. Super packed up nice with loads of styrofoam.

“Correction, as WIKIPEDIA calls them, something I’ve explained to you in the past.”

No; you broad-brush the label “neocon” just as lefties broad-brush the label “racist.”

“Those Neocons didn’t have any women in positions of power back then. Since then, Albright, Neuland, and of course Skunk Cabbage have all but DEMANDED a nuclear war with Russia.”

Ah, that sounds rather sexist, and misogynist. I guess you didn’t think too much of Margaret Thatcher; or, even the more formidable Elizabeth I.

“Not all Neocons are the same, and there were ADULTS at the top who understood what a nuclear war meant, so even if the hyper-emotional babes wanted a nuclear war, they were out of luck.”

The only people who routinely talk of nuclear war are in the leadership of Russia, and here on FR with their admirers.

“Ah, that sounds rather sexist, and misogynist.”

Just factual - when it was ALL MEN, they managed to peacefully (enough) navigate through our differences, at least in the end. Now you have these HELL-BENT Neocon women in the US and flaming Leftist women in Europe - IN POSITIONS OF POWER, assuming that Putin is weak simply because he hasn’t chosen to take out any Western cities yet.

Those women need to be REMOVED from power.

Bob, you sound like you have a major issue with women in general.

“Now you have these HELL-BENT Neocon women in the US and flaming Leftist women in Europe - IN POSITIONS OF POWER, assuming that Putin is weak simply because he hasn’t chosen to take out any Western cities yet.”

I’m sure you know that — all things being equal —throughout history more men have stumbled into wars than women (assuming a like number of each)? That is not saying that women are better leaders than men; some are, some are not, depending on the competition. For instance, I’d take Margaret Thatcher over any Democrat US president in my lifetime (that would be Truman; Kennedy; Johnson; Carter; Clinton; Obama; and Biden).

And Putin hasn’t taken out any Western cities because he knows the response would the deaths of him, his family, and his country.

The Neocons-on-steroids bunch who are hell-bent on WW3 - I certainly do.
