Tulsi Gabbard Warns US-Russia War Will End ‘Life As We Know It’
Magpunch ^ | 24 January 2022 | #TulsiGabbard

Posted on 01/24/2022 7:30:56 AM PST by Alas Babylon!

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.”

“End life as we know it...”

Good. Because we are WAY off the rails from where we should be. Maybe we need a good storm to stiffen our spines and clear the air.

“I don’t think Russia is the aggressor here”

You’ve obviously been hiding in a hole since before 2014, right?

To bring you up to speed the Russians invaded Ukraine with a cowardly sneak attack and seized the eastern part of that country. In the same time frame of the past sight years they also threatened to invade Estonia, they had a border incursion with Estonia, they threatened to invade Latvia and Lithuania, they’ve recently been threatening Finland and Sweden, the Russians are demanding that their former Eastern European slave states be rendered defenseless so the Red Army can invade and occupy them, and they’ve also unleashed about twenty to forty of their propaganda trolls right here on Free Republic.

And that’s just the few things I can think of right now.

In any case let me be clear: Russia is the aggressor.

Stanislav Petrov is the man’s name. He did get a reprimand from his superiors, not from his decision....but because of mistakes in his log book.

It wasn’t until years after the Soviet Union collapsed that the West found out what happened. He’s received several international awards, including an award of $25,000US from a peace organization.

What balogney.

The US could no more stage a regime-change war in Russia than the man in the moon could.

“Did you ever hear the story of how programmed Russian computers, based on an incorrect reading of satellite photos of clouds over some part of the United States, were eight minutes away from launching a full scale nuclear attack on the United States in the 80s? And were stopped at the last minute by a low-level operative?”

Not only heard it, but watched a special on it.

I don't think Russia is the aggressor here, but much of the last few years in Washington DC involved the democrats using the Russian boogey man to evoke fear and loathing of Russians to enhance themselves politically and take out the Republicans and more specifically Donald Trump.

LOL, I remember the debate between Mittens and Obama in which Mittens invoked the threat from Russia, and Obama quipped "the 80's called; they want their foreign policy back".

--> If true, why does the deep state hate her so much?

First, it is true. She is listed as a WEF Young Leader.

Second, try to see the big picture here.

The WEF has many, many compromised leaders in both parties. McCain was one. Crenshaw is another. They are placed in governments and institutions world wide.

Not all of them step forward to support the main attack by the WEF on free countries.

Some are held back strategically to preserve the future if their current plans fail.

Tulsi is "standing alone" in case the main attack fails, she will still have political currency.

As such, she is playing the role of "WEF Designated Survivor." As for the deep state, some know and play along to further the narrative. Others are useful idiots and echo the condemnation.

“The Ukraine is a corrupt regime. Much more so than the Russian regime.”

Yup. That’s why the corrupt and evil Ukrainians invaded Russia and seized half their country.

Oh, wait...that was the corrupt and evil Russians invading Ukraine because the Ukrainians had deposed the corrupt pro-Putin dictator Yanukovych. Yanukovych had pillaged billions from Ukraine and spent a good sum of it on his palatial retreat. And in typical Russian style he had rigged the elections, arrested his political opponents, and outlawed protests.

Yeah, the Ukrainians have issues but at least they got rid of their corrupt dictator. When’s Russia going to put a .17 caliber bullet into Putin’s head like he deserves?

Europe never really experienced democracy until after WW2.But they kept the royals, too. And for some, they kept the cousins of the buzzards that brought about both WW1 and WW2. So all bloodfeuds never were resolved. AND THEN CAME THE LOVELY EU!!

Where all the penny ante dictators who did not make rank at the UN, have now done so!

And yes, the tsarist//communist//CIS russia is still waiting outside the fence!

The one thing for sure no country is EVER dumb or stupid enough to launch nuclear weapons first. Not tac nukes and certainly not strat nukes. So they are bluff weapons at best. Relics of the cold war.

“But mutually assured destruction is not a foregone conclusion.”

But it is a possible conclusion, as she stated.

I would like to take comfort in that thought, but the evident masochistic tendency of the Dims scares the hell out of me.

“There is nothing in the Ukraine worth a single American life or a single taxpayer dollar.”

Can’t say I necessarily disagree with you. Ukraine’s value to us is as a buffer zone.

I DO think Russia is the aggressor here...

Here, yes, but since the collapse of the Soviet Union our great statemen have been poking a stick in their eye and provoking the Russian.

There was an investigative report, I recall, about connections that the likes of the Biden’s, Pelosi’s, Romney’s and Kerry’s have with regards to certain business dealings in Ukraine.

Probably pillaging millions and billions from US and/or Ukraine

It’d be nice to see those dealings get bombed all to hell,if true

“And were stopped at the last minute by a low-level operative?”

Well, he was a colonel; not all that low-level. Just think: Our boomer commanders have the authority to launch on their own orders, and they are of similar rank (a US Navy Captain is the equivalent of a colonel).

In the bad old days, the world leaders had been through a World War.

It cooled their games.

The current generation has not been.

It was madness to put NATO in the Baltic and Black Sea states.

Buffer for what? To keep the Russian mechanized troops out of Europe?
Russia already has Europe by the short hairs thanks to its oil and gas pipelines and the Euroweenies destroying their own energy production. They don’t need tanks any more.

Much in the same way that Germany and Russia historically looked upon Poland.

"The only place this conflict can end is the destruction of the world and life as we know it."

That doesn't look to me like she was saying it's a "possible" conclusion. There's no nuance anymore. In order to get attention, people have to make the most outlandish statements so they will get clicks and likes and retweets. It's total lunacy.
