Is the delay more logistical or is it due to a lack of urgency? Because, Zelensky calling for nuclear attacks on Russia makes me think that there is a whole lot of urgency at this time. It seems more like an act of desperation.

It is absolutely insane to think that anyone would deliberately start bombing a nuke plant, as well as using it to house troops, equipment and munitions.

LOL you believe the TV when it comes to that?

DC was making big plans for their new satrap in Moscow before their proxy war fell apart.

The reliably, Left-Wing Globalist site Business Insider tells us it is so, so it must be true, right?

Did a quick search on Duck Duck Go for "pentagon admits ukraine bio labs." All the major sources "fact checked" it and said it was false, including dedicated "fact checking" sites. Here Cronos, since you seem to trust "major" sources so much: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10615639/I-said-no-thing-Tulsi-Gabbard-denies-claiming-making-bioweapons-Ukraine-says-Mitt-Romney-RESIGN-doesnt-evidence-claims-treasonous.html

“Most scenarios begin with nuclear escalation in Europe, first.”

You haven’t been following Putin’s speeches.

Poland is Biden’s laplicker every day. Biden says hop and the country hops.
Poland drools on command for their master, the white house.

I had a friend - worked with my husband but bought eggs from us - who was Polish when my kids were young...because they were adopted from Russia she would have nothing to do with them.

The Poles have beautiful pottery but otherwise they are not really worth spending time with, and their country has nothing worth visiting.

I have been to much of eastern Europe but skipped them.

So did Nuland admit they existed at a press conference.

Russia came into this war considered a near peer to the USA and China.< It is now understood as a near peer to Bangladesh or Nigeria.

That is one ultimate examples of projection. What you're claiming Russia is actually NATO.

It's Russia running out of ammo and weapons. It's us and other NATO countries.

Ukraine went into this with biggest NATO army in Europe and the Russians have put into a meat grinder. The Ukraine has lost more than 400,000 men.

And, oh, Russia has liberated an annexed 40,000 square miles.

We and NATO could go all in and Ukraine and wouldn't beat Russia. We're the ones that have fought a real war against a military that is our peer since WWII.

This is another example of Russian Derangement Syndrome turning one's brain into mush.

Colonel Macgregor, with the exception of his statement on Solzhenitsyn, basically confirms what I was preaching for many years. No, not that Washington is incompetent--this has been a fait accompli for decades now--but that the US is incapable to take on Russia militarily.

Video at link

But even the title by Judge Napolitano is somewhat misleading: U.S. Not Prepared to take on Russia. The US is not just "not prepared", it cannot physically fight Russia without sustaining catastrophic defeat even if it spends next 30 years preparing for that fight. For starters, the US de-industrialization and societal ills permanently removed it from the largely self-proclaimed status of hegemon. The US will remain an important and influential country if it manages to keep itself intact (if), but, as I already stated, culturally the United States is not a continental military power. I deliberately used the all encompassing, history too, term "culturally", because military affairs of the nation are rooted in culture.

A short, in historic terms, departure of Russia from her position as a conventional military superpower in 1990s and 2000s was not due to America's military power which defeated Russians at the battlefield, it was largely due to self-inflicted wound and corruption of CPSU ruling elite, who fast refashioned itself into "liberal" democrats and formed anti-national oligarchy. This time has long since passed. Now, that the military-industrial might of Russia is being increasingly revealed, I have to go along with Colonel's assessment that Washington is simply preparing an excuse that "we did all we could". There is nothing the United States can send to 404, short of transferring US nuclear deterrent to Kiev regime, that can make any difference in the outcome of SMO. So, listen to Colonel and Judge and enjoy, if you will.

Wastedyears, I was pointing out that the bioweapons labs story was just one of the many Russian lies.

So on pubbie claims the bioweapons labs, not me.

And Marmema just admitted that he visits Russia many times, so you can draw your own conclusions

“That’s why Putin has a huge approval rating and in all of my visits there he was very much loved by Russians I met and lived with...Putin has terrific leadership skills and is an economic genius.”

“It’s not Russia running out of ammo and weapons. It’s us and other NATO countries.”

Is NATO running out of jets?
Is NATO running out of helicopters?
Is NATO running out of missiles?
Is NATO running out of M16s?

The only thing we are running out of the ancient Soviet crap that Biden believes is the only stuff to give to Ukraine.

Ukraine is defeating Russia with a bunch of ill-trained grunts armed with 40 year old tech.
