The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive, internal deliberations, include U.S. and Defense Department officials.

I doubt Russia would cross this line. Surely they can’t be so monstrous as to do such a thing.

I would expect that too would be one of Zelensky’s ploys to raise further NATO should get involved more than they already are.

Unlike certain Western nations, Russia has never used chemical weapons.

After Kiev falls, Russia might want to give a slice of Ukraine to Poland, Hungary, and Rumania. It would be an important gesture of goodwill to eastern Europe it is probably best to split up the remaining western Ukrainians (after mass migration) into four different countries.

Oh so now it’s NOT tactical nukes but “chemicals”. Y’all make your damned minds up. The Russians will use “Climate Change” of the natural freezing a@@ temps and overrunning with hordes of trigger pulling Russian orcs. Keep an eye where Zelinskyy is spending his time— selling an f’n book???!

I thought it was nukes?

What’s after this? The russkies are gonna use biological weapons?! The propaganda arm has lost the message - you go chemical weapons THEN nukes… you’ve already shot your wad.

Oh heavens no…

But it’s not a problem though because the same propaganda unit informs us that Russia is losing BIG time and it’s going to be over… any day now…

"Six people with knowledge of the matter…”

Of course, I hope and pray those “six people” are wrong.

(Wonder what their FReeper handles are?)

The US, NATO and UN could ask Putin not to do it.
Worth a try.😇
