If I were da Ukes with da Nukes, I would not radiate my own land. I would send one demo nuke to another ammo dump 10 miles inside Ruke territory.
And I would announce it in the press:
“Yes, we are in an existential war, just like the USA was when they dropped their nukes.
Yes, it caused a lot of damage, so we hope the Russians leave our country immediately, surrendering every last bullet and weapon, and agree to be escorted by United Nations Blue Helmet observers.
Yes, we have a few more.
Yes, we acknowledge that the Russians have way more nukes than we do but we didn’t invade THEM, they invaded US, and even though a nuke has gone off in their country, they are not in an existential war of any kind. It is time for them to completely call off their invasion and respect our borders as they said they would in the Budapest Agreement.”
When all of this build up by Russia on the Ukrainian border happened, a former British Intelligence Officer came on what I remember was the Lars Larsson radio program. He said Russia was puffing up to get a concession that Ukraine not join NATO. Sounded reasonable.
Then with the apparent calm out of the government in Kiev I figured both sides would sit down at the table and ink an agreement. Why else were the Ukrainians so calm while Washington was pitching fits?
Well Vlad surprised me. Ever since then there has been story after story that turns out not to be true. The Ghost of Kiev. The little girl fighting Russians with...a shotgun?
So most that comes out of there cannot be trusted. If someone shelled a school, which side did it? Are soldiers using kids as human shields? Well they do It in the Middle East. Why did Ukraine bomb a chicken farm? There were clearly munitions in there from the explosion. But why a chicken farm?
Sorry to say but the US has not been exactly helpful in this situation with our politician’s kids doing business in the place (Republican and Democrat) and one, Hunter, taking money from both sides. Russian drug dealers taking his laptop while he was passed out. Who know what both sides have on POTUS and family? What a mess.
