Congressional warmonger trots out ‘map of Russia’ to 'untie Ukraine's hands' for deep strikes
X ^ | 5/23/24 | Sputnik

Posted on 05/23/2024 5:11:15 AM PDT by hardspunned

A map of Russian territory has been trotted out by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul as a prop in Congress, as seen from footage published by C-SPAN.

McCaul was fervently advocating dropping US restrictions for Ukraine to hit targets inside Russia. McCaul rattled off a list of weapons funneled to the Kiev regime, including long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and HIMARS, claiming that restrictions on their use meant that Ukrainians had “they hands tied behind their backs.”

Poland should get more of Western Ukraine and Belarus and restore their 1939 borders in the East.

Somewhere Lindsey Graham is turgid in anticipation.

If the Russians do not want to be attacked within Russia then they should stop attacking Ukraine. You reap what you sow. (And no, this will not start WWIII.)

If NATO weapons rain down upon Russia, irrespective of their site of launch, aren't NATO and Russia officially at war at that point? I say "officially" because NATO and Russia are at war now but it's a proxy war, at present; Ukraine is NATO's proxy. If a NATO vs Russia conflict isn't WWIII, what would constitute WWIII? Is the use of nuclear weapons obligatory before it can be called a World War?

NATO includes the US. If US weapons are shot at Russia, Putin will return the favor. There is zero doubt about that.

Further US meddling in Ukraine will result in them ceasing to be a Nation, as it should.

Ukraine had many chances to negotiate a settlement, most notably when one was achieved and Boris Johnson flew in and torpedoed it….proving the West can NOT be trusted, ever.

but I wouldn’t put it past them to use a tactical nuke in the Ukraine to up the ante.
———-
Much talked about on foreign news channel editorials…many agree a smaller very low yield tactical nuke will end this war decisively….interesting is the “ depth “ of the planning….just rumors of course, but a possibility if the crazed West starts striking targets inside Russia.

One week notice to evacuate ground zero and the calculated very low fallout areas. Fits right in with Vlad’s planned “buffer” zone ( they call it the Dead Zone”.) It may just have to come to that, the West has torpedoed all Peace talks, keeps poking, I do not dismiss the option.

Why does the West insist on committing suicide? Vlad still holds all the cards, what is so hard to understand?

She wants to continue to live, even in abject poverty

Russia’s GDP is rising, China’s GDP rising, India also….starting to get the picture? The US’s GDP is flat, and we are bankrupt. It is much more likely, seeing what is happening in the EU , Germany in particular, the West’s future is poverty.

All eyes on the upcoming Brics Summit, it will be historic.

Russians had a reasonable peace offer at the start of this war, but neoCON scum like you would not allow peace. The neoCONs demanded the death of 100s of thousands of white Christians so they could make money for the MIC. Just watch. The neoCON scum will now advocate importing millions of muslims into Ukraine to “rebuild” it - all for the MIC to make a buck and to eliminate Christianity just like their non-Christian faggot hero is banning Christian churches in Ukraine. These neoCON scum want one-world government and destruction of Christianity and Western Civlization is part of their plan to make it happen. These are seriously disturbed individuals who have made a deal with the devil.

The Russians were pushed into it. There was a deal in place but globohomo dispatched Boris Johnson (who should be executed) to kill the deal.

The only warmonger in this issue is Vladamir Putin. Helping a nation defend itself is not being a warmonger.

“Nobody can predict how the Russians would respond if they are attacked in Russia with US & Nato supplied weapons. “

Excuse me??????? Ukraine has been defending itself all along with the help of weapons supplied from western nations. A change in those weapons does not represent a new case.

Big difference between Ukraine using US supplied weapons against Russians inside Ukraine, and Ukraine launching missiles toward Russian bases, villages, cities inside of Russia.

The finished product will be the new mega state that extends across the entirety or the Northern Hemisphere, Fused Glassiphalia.

Historic amounts of talking & doing nothing, while the US dollar or Euro continued to be used for trading by rich, serious countries

Russia can have the banana republics and 4th-world ****hole countries

“Big difference between Ukraine using US supplied weapons against Russians inside Ukraine, and Ukraine launching missiles toward Russian bases, villages, cities inside of Russia.”

Why? Putin has been lobbing rockets, missiles, artillary and bombs from Russian territory to inside Urkaine territory for two years. Why, after two years should Ukraine NOT be responding in kind?? The “escalation” has alrready occurred, by Putin.

Ukraine can do what it wants, but there is no way for them to win this thing unless some other countries are willing to supply troops. Ukraine just doesn’t have enough military age men left in country. At this time I don’t believe the Russian people fully support the war. If the Ukrainians ramp up attacks against targets inside of Russia using US supplied long range missiles, you will see the Russian people unify behind Putin.

That’s an opinion, not a fact.

Another opinion, not a fact.

Opinions based on whats been reported.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/ukraine-drops-its-conscription-age-to-25-to-replenish-huge-troop-shortfall

And it is my opinion that attacks on the motherland tend to unify and rally the people against the attacker, and there are many examples in history, 9/11, Pearl Harbor are two such American examples where an attack on the US unified a divided population in response.
