Gee, that's too bad. Putin started this, he can end it. If not Ukraine is getting better at ending it each day.

Every thing you need to know right here. Davos man ex-senator RINO Rob Portman: “And I want to thank all those who have joined me on 10 trips to Ukraine since 2014 when Ukrainians rose up to throw off a corrupt Russian-backed government and turn to us, to the West. This includes two recent sobering visits to Ukraine with Senators Klobuchar and Coons.”

“In 2015, I authored the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which has become the key funding account used to train and equip the Ukrainian Armed Forces. We need to continue to fund this account and lead the free world, carrying the torch of freedom.”

Calm down. Russia is a bully, but it is not suicidal.

It’s funny people don’t know Joe’s history.

He was the front runner in the Dem Party leading the charge. He said the only way we can lose in Afghanistan if “politicians” are not committed to the War for the the long term.

He was on 60 Minutes back in the day and was perpetually for more money going to the Gulf and Afghanistan.

They won’t tell you - but Joe has seen the Enemy, and it’s him.

Here’s what no one will tell you.

The Deep State and the Globalists with the Off-shore Bank Accounts fully plan on the US to fund the rebuilding of Ukraine.

And then, their brothers and kids get Contracts and it’s more Fun.

That bill will be greater than $600 Billion

With No IG to track the money, conveniently.

You sound like you took the jab and all the boosters.

Russia's politicians have been saying for months that if they are facing an existential threat to the country, Russia may go nuclear.

That's not suicidal -- because if they faced an existential threat, and did nothing, they'd be guaranteed to die.

They are hoping to warn others off.

Whereas, Dementia Joe is also a bully, but is too stupid and addled to consider whether major escalation with Russia is suicidal.

And then there's the financial realignment (BRICS vs. petrodollar) as well as skyrocketing excess deaths from the clot shots.

We sure are living in interesting times.

"but Iran supplying thousands of drones and missiles to Russia is OK"

While Russia supplies weapons to Iran, where the mullahs have threatened to annihilate us many times and provided weapons to our other commie terrorist enemies. Imagine U.S. politicians and news reporters saying that we might nuke Iran and Russia. ;)

“This kind of threat from Russia, which started this war a year ago and has been threatening from the beginning, is a good indication Putin is not a friend or savior of civilization. He’s a dangerous lunatic.”

Which is in line with the following article from Newsweek:


Speaking on the state Rossiya-1 channel, presenter Vladimir Solovyov made the claims after saying Moscow was “moving from a special military operation mode to a completely different mode.”

In a clip posted to Twitter, the state television anchor said Russia is “up against 50 countries that are united by Satanism,” according to a translation.

Terms such as “holy war” and linking Satanism to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have frequently appeared in Russian discourse around the war.

Solovyov, a known ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has previously said Russia was engaged in a “holy war” against “Satanism.”

“We are fighting against Satanists. This is a holy war and we have to win,” he said on the latest state television broadcast.

His words echoed similar comments he made back in December, when he said the country was living through “latter days.”

“What’s happening in Ukraine won’t stay in Ukraine,” he added. “A holy war is underway. We’re fighting for the right of mankind to live in its original state, as designed by the Creator.”


These folks are straight out of the Dark Ages. However, I think there are enough sane Russians that will step in and prevent this kind of lunacy from gaining any traction.

I don’t like Putin. He’s a dick. There is no scenario on God’s green earth where I would be on the same side as Klaus “anal” Schwab, George Soros, Bill Gates and FJB.

Eff Ukraine and their tranny, midget, commie track suit wearing dictator.

And North Korea sending war materiel to Russia, as well.

It is just waning. Like wise those in 2020 about the development in Novorossya will bring war. SO it brought.

Now it just information that the further involvement of West inn this war will bring nukes into usage.

You may not believe it but you are warned at least.

Russia’s empty threats don’t impress anyone.

Neither do yours. I hope everyone reads your recent history.

Biden only reads what’s put right before him. So if some joker puts a Risk game in front of him, then by golly we’re at war with Iceland.

“Russia’s POLITICIANS have been saying for months that if they are facing an existential threat to the country, Russia may go nuclear.”

I highlighted the pertinent word: POLITICIANS.

Politicians blow smoke; they bluster; they bluff; they ham for the camera. There are Russians who have power who will not allow Russia to commit suicide.

“That’s not suicidal — because if they faced an existential threat, and did nothing, they’d be guaranteed to die.”

What existential threat? Russia has not been presented with anything even remotely close to an existential threat. But, do you know who has? Ukraine.

“They are hoping to warn others off.”

No, they are hoping to SCARE others off.

“Whereas, Dementia Joe is also a bully, but is too stupid and addled to consider whether major escalation with Russia is suicidal.”

Yeah, Biden is a bully, and has been one his entire life. And, he is full of false bravado just as his counterpart in Russia is. Escalation? How is arming Ukraine so it can defend itself against the unwarranted invasion of its country by a bellicose and belligerent Russia any kind of existential threat to Russia?

“And then there’s the financial realignment (BRICS vs. petrodollar) as well as skyrocketing excess deaths from the clot shots.”

Then don’t take the jab!

“We sure are living in interesting times.”

On that we agree.

“If Russia uses any nuclear weapon, Russia could not possibly survive the escalation.”

You think we can?

This is absolute lunacy, which is why its got a better chance of happening than anyone should be comfortable with.

What for? Ukraine?

Ask Russia, what for, Ukraine?

Russia’s the one that keeps talking about nukes, and started the war.

I’m going not to blame the US over Russian threats.

Dear Russian:

Please keep two weeks of food on hand. Please locate your nearest fallout shelter, usually in the basement of your apartment building. Please watch for news alerts when you get up in the morning.

Vlad

Dear American:

Please keep two weeks of food on hand. Please buy a shovel and dig as your life safe from a Russian nuclear bomb depended on it. Please stay up overnight every night in case we have to tell you to take shelter in your hole.

Your President
