Yet..... M777 howitzers, M1 Abrahms, drones and missiles, Patriot radars and batteries, long range missiles, F-16s and enough money to choke a river full of hippos.......all to Zelenskyy. They say one thing - and they do another. Effing liars.
“Is Putin in the room with you right now, canuck_conservative?”
Don’t waste your time with this guy. He has already attributed a quote to me that I never uttered or wrote.
Unless you’re doing it for sport, then I’m sorry for interfering.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled There was real risk that Russia would use nuclear weapons in Ukraine: CIA director, GenXPolymath wrote: I fully expect Russia to use tactical munitions before this war is over. It is part of their doctrine for ground war inside Russian territory they would rather use low yield tactical munitions vs walking away from Russian territory.
That's an insane assertion on your part. The size of Russia, the 200,000 troops in reserve that Putin could call in to Kursk, but elected to let them continue their rest period; the fact that Zelensky's troops have insufficient air cover and no aircraft of their own; the trapped Ukrainians have problems getting any supplies, are cut off, are likely to never leave Russia; the fact that Russia has aircraft attacking Zelensky's under equipped, exhausted troops - all of it weighs against any thought that Russia has anything to worry about.
If they cannot push back the Ukes they will use low yield tactical munitions over the areas occupied by the Ukes as a matter or spite.
The Russians have time, supply lines, reserves, aircraft, control of the border etc. - They don't want to 'push back' the Ukes; they want to kill them. The Ukes shot at civilians and tried to reach the power plant - they have been deemed 'terrorists' and the Geneva conventions will not protect them.
The only ones likely to use dirty bombs or attack nuclear power plant(s) are NATO countries, likely MI6 and CIA, which they will then blame on Russia.
No one can tell them no it’s their territory. From that point they would consider using them over Uke contested lands too. Air burst high radiation aka neutron bombs don’t produce large fallout tails it’s all local activation products and dead humans the buildings and infrastructure remains just fine after a few weeks of decay half lives.
They are not nuking anyone - in other countries or in their own. They have reserves coming into rotation and if any Ukes are still alive in about a month, their reserves can handle them.
I thought so too, but now that a CIA guy says it, I admit I might be wrong.
