Trump would do well to put that into a speech.
This is madness.
Thanks for this info. Holy Moly Who thought it was a smart move?
Fascinating. I had no idea this was going on. Hopefully Trump would put a stop to this.
Only by the grace of God have we not met with disaster. Not yet anyway.
Among other vulnerabilities, the Strait of Hormuz can easily be closed or severely restricted. Last I knew China controls the Panama Canal - that can be closed to American ships too. Skyrocketing oil prices and major supply chain disruptions.
This on top of whatever Russia does in response, may well draw us into Vietnam 2.0. Maybe that’s what the neocons want.
A woke military and sociopaths at the top is not a good combination.
No sympathy for private mercenaries, they know the dangers when they sign on for the mission, just looking for a nice pay off. Wish them luck.
The Russians don’t need a ‘small tactical nuke’ to destroy the mercenaries in Russia. Initially the raiding party was 15,000 or so troops after day 3. The Russians apparently knew about this raid in advance, redeployed a Chechen unit skilled at ambushes to the region days in advance. Most of the Russian forces are not military because Putin considers this a terrorist act.
However, before resorting to nukes, Putin still has militias in Russia, as well as many more troops. He’s kept his troops in Donbas in place.
The raiding party is running out of supplies, fuel etc. THe Russians kept the border open for many days to let more in - this is a trap. Since they have film of the Ukrainian raiding party members (the foreign mercenaries) shooting at civilians, and because of the attacks directed at the Kursk nuclear power plant, Putin has declared the incursion forces terrorists. They will not be given Geneva Convention rights. All the Russians have to do is seal the border behind these forces and let the Chechens continue to pick them off in ambushes in the heavily forested region they are in.
There’s no need for a tactical nuke and I think the suggestion is bizarre by any standard. War mongers would LOVE it if Putin used a tactical nuke anywhere - they would declare him a demonstrably dangerous nuclear threat and ‘justify’ pre-emptive nukes. War by any means possible..
From anti-war to pro-war. From touting free speech to anti-free speech. From democracy to centralized govt. That party needs to change its name to something that fits.
Might I suggest:
Nationalamerikanische Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei
Or...
Verräter und Parasitenpartei
Good read on the situation. Apparently, Russia is preparing a response to this NATO financed and directed invasion of Russia.
Will there be a declaration of war? It seems that Romania, Poland... NATO facilities involved in command, control, and logistical depots, and airfields the Uke F16s fly from are destined to destroyed. The Americans in Kursk are being executed whenever they are captured, or surrender. Same for any NATO country citizen. Maybe the Ukes are too going to be executed.
When Putin sends “private mercenaries” to Washington DC and London England, don’t complain when they take out targets in those cities.
Russia has every right to retaliate in-kind. The deep state neocons are not going to like what they receive. /spit
Why on earth would a country intentionally nuke itself, regardless how “small” the weapon? Consider the devastation 15 kilotons did on Hiroshima. Also, if the Ukrainian forces are as bad as Russia continues to claim, and this is just a raid, why go to such extremes? It just doesn’t add up.
This can't be said enough times. And, it applies to our resident Zeeper operatives as well.
“I had no idea this was going on.”
Because it’s not going on.
You dudes have reached the Baghdad Bob level.
Putin may hopefully be pragmatic enough to let Trump have his
chance, before taking action.
I don’t like it, but I know Trump would put an end to this on
day one.
I think Putin realizes that.
I am dubious if this is true.
I am not dubious that the Ukraine may have difficulty providing enough countrymen to fight this gang war between two regional gangsters fighting over turf.
If this is true, here comes WW3.
She writes like she’s some authority, in reality she’s a Keeper of Odd Knowledge as Rush used to say. Jmho

You seem approving of executing POWs.
