Former US congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard issued a blunt warning via Twitter on Thursday about rising America-Russia tensions, arguing a conflict between “two nuclear-armed powers” can only end in “the destruction of the world and life as we know it.”
“Warmongers” currently in office, the Democrat argued, are escalating tensions with Russia. President Joe Biden and other administration officials have issued multiple threats to Russia should they move troops into Ukraine, something some US officials claim is likely because of recent military movements. Moscow has denied this, saying these troop maneuvers are an internal matter and any allegations of a planned offensive are groundless.
Gabbard, one of the more vocal Democratic Party critics of the current administration, included a Fox News interview clip in her tweet. In it, she specifically pointed to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan as supporters of “regime change wars.” She added that they are the people “influencing the decisions that are being made by this White House.”

Pushing For War: Why Is The Biden Administration Pushing Ukraine To Attack Russia
April 6, 2021
Why is it any of our business whether Crimea is part of Ukraine or part of Russia? Why is it any of our business if the Russian-speaking population of eastern Ukraine prefer…

On March 24th, Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky signed what was essentially a declaration of war on Russia. In the document, titled Presidential Decree No. 117/2021, the US-backed Ukrainian leader declared that it is the official policy of Ukraine to take back Crimea from Russia.
The declaration that Ukraine would take back Crimea from Russia also followed, and was perhaps instigated by, President Biden’s inflammatory and foolish statement that “Crimea is Ukraine.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was a chief architect of the US-backed coup against Ukraine in 2014, continued egging on the Ukrainians, promising full US support for the “territorial integrity” of Ukraine. Many Americans wonder why they are not even half as concerned about the territorial integrity of the United States!
Not to be outdone, at the beginning of this month US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin – who previously served on the board of missile-maker Raytheon – called his counterpart in Ukraine and promised “unwavering US support for Ukraine’s sovereignty.” As the US considers Crimea to be Ukrainian territory, this is clearly a clear green light for Kiev to take military action.
Washington is also sending in weapons. Some 300 tons of new weapons have arrived in the past weeks and more is on the way.
As could be expected, Moscow has responded to Zelensky’s decree and to the increasingly bellicose rhetoric in Kiev and Washington by re-positioning troops and other military assets closer to its border with Ukraine. Does anyone doubt that if the US were in the same situation – for example, if China installed a hostile and aggressive government in Mexico – the Pentagon might move troops in a similar manner?
But according to the media branch of the US military-industrial-Congressional-media complex, Russian troop movements are not a response to clear threats from a neighbor, but instead are just more “Russian aggression.

This isn’t the Cold War. The Russians can take the Baltics and Ukraine tomorrow with the tanks. The Poles are not going to help out because they want to save themselves. The Germans are useless and they depend on Russia for natural gas.
She has had it, needs to get documentation that she has got over it. Then, she needs the negative test to get on board a plane with that documentation.
Aside from all that, she lost 40 pounds and is in need to regain much of that since she was a very thin person anyway.
You have no clue..
Ha. In reality....
Russia could overrun Eastern Europe in just three days because NATO has not been bolstering its fleet since Vladimir Putin took Crimea, according to US military predictions. Testing every possible scenario in a series of war games, a US military think tank has concluded it would take a resurgent Russia between 36 and 60 hours to push its 27 heavily-armored battalions past NATO's lightweight 12 to occupy the Baltic States. Most likely, the study found, Russia would start by launching a two-pronged attack across the Latvian border, sending heavily-armed battalions in from the north and the south. Once secured, the remaining part of Russia's 27 maneuver battalions would cross the Narva reservoir into Estonia to take the ethnic Russian north-east before heading to Tallinn, the capital. NATO's only hope would be to concentrate its forces in Tallinn and Riga while stationing some delays along the main routes. But eventually, the West 'would have to launched a belated nuclear attack'. 'The outcome was, bluntly, a disaster for NATO,' the report concludes.
So, how many American lives and how much American treasure are you willing to spend to do ‘something’ in the Ukraine?
No ‘feelz’ please, just numbers.
Glad to see you have made your choice, then.
Nato common budget is $2 billion a year and share of the US is 16%.
I don’t use that search engine but I will look it up, thanks.
Saying Google it is like saying Coke for a cola.
It just means look it up using a search engine.
I’m aware of what it means. What I originally wanted to know was the news source which either informed you or spurred your curiosity about Gabbard.
When I searched, I saw the announcement on the WEF website.
She’s also pro abortion.
She’s a Dem, so her position on abortion should be a given, no?
Some here seem oblivious to that fact
It’s amazing how many here seem to have forgotten what the deal was with Ukraine after the cold war.
Ukraine would abolish the nuclear weapons it inherited from the breakup of the Sowjet Union and therefor Russia AND the US would both guarantee for their safety and their borders.
What happened then was: Putin grabbed the Crimea and Zero did nothing. Now Putin is gonna grab the next part because he knows Biden won’t do anything beside peeing his pants.
If Trump would still be in office, Putin would never even have thought about grabbing another part of Ukraine, nor would Xi Jinping think about invading Taiwan.
I know about that treaty and figure it’s a dead letter; the Russians are not abiding by it and Obama pretty much abandoned it when the Russians took Crimea.
And I’m not willing to send troops to die for the Ukraine anyway.
