Moscow warns West after Ukraine told it can hit Russia with Western weapons

Non judgmental: Why announce delivery of weapons with restrictions?

[Jumper]

Because countires like Isael have announced their response for weapons used. Israel is very specific. If Germany or Italy are responsible for Iran producing nuclear weapons, then they bomb the capital cities of those two countries if a nuke hits Tel Aviv. If a Russia missile takes out Tel Aviv they will hit Moscow. They are very clear on this matter of national survival.

Every country attaches pre-conditions on the use of said weapons.

Your local DNC has gone so far as to hold gun manufacturers responsible for the use a of gun.

A doctor cannot prescribe a medication or your may not take a perscription for other than what was prescribed.

The key is prescribed. We tell you how you can use something. If you violate that WE hold your reponsible.

HOWEVER: We are not actually “giving or handing anything over to Ukraine”. We are using our own support personnel to arm the weapons, launch the weapons, and we provide the targeting data. We are now trying to pass the buck to gullible audiences on Ukraine.

Part of the timing of this announcement was under the radar of Biden’s prosecution of Trump.

Sleep-walking to oblivion.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

Russia could avoid all this unpleasantness by simply withdrawing to its own legal borders.

[SaveFerris]

Joe Biden is just that sort of a madman too

[SaveFerris]

The missiles are flying!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

(Once Americans would have recoiled in horror and disgust at the depravities accepted as normal by Americans today, and in fact championed by the intelligentsia.)

Yes

"If Russia lobs a nuke at us, Biden will most certainly blame Trump."
If Russia lobs a nuke at us, it certainly won't be one nuke. It will be a hydrogen bomb in every major city, military establishment and missile silo.

[jmacusa]

Yeah. Screw paying off my credit card bills.

In fact I’m going to go max them all out.

Go ahead Vlad, you crazy Russian, launch the nukes. Earth. It was fun while it lasted.

[jmacusa]

While like a bull in a china shop Russia can do plenty of damage.

But in reality the war in Ukraine should have shown the Russians cannot do combined arms very well, their rather lousy air force has disappeared from the skies, it’s navy has been chased back to port, it’s soldiers rip out the silver and copper wire of their tanks and vehicles and often sell their own weapons to buy vodka so they can stay drunk.

This is no army. It’s a bunch of bums with guns.

[Svartalfiar]

I think it’s a false notion to think we could roll over Russia like we did Iraq in the first and second gulf wars, Russia is much more capable and willing to fight back.

Russia is barely beating Ukraine, and only because they've had two-plus years to run their zerg rushes. They can barely push 200 mi outside their borders. They have one carrier that currently can't even run helicopter operations, much less even get out of the harbor. You really think they'd pose any kind of serious threat to these US? She's a very local land power, that's it.

[Svartalfiar]

If Russia lobs a nuke at us, it certainly won't be one nuke. It will be a hydrogen bomb in every major city, military establishment and missile silo.

Hydrogen/nuke, essentially the same thing. Russia doesn't have enough to do what you're claiming. One, they wouldn't launch their full arsenal at just these US. Two, their nuke maintenance may not be as bad as everything else, but their launch rate is definitely gonna be pretty low. Most missiles probably can't even get off the ground. Three, we have good ballistic missile defenses. I doubt very many, if any, of them would get through.

[Svartalfiar]

You clowns keep advocating for a hot war with Russia and somehow you think the war will not be fought here at home. Stupidity and evil.

How is Russia going to hit us? They can barely get 200 mi outside their own borders. How are they gonna get further than that / cross an ocean? They have no functional carriers, every one of their subs is being tailed by one of ours, the only thing they could possibly do is activate terrorist-style attacks from what illegals they've snuck in, but that's likely not that big of a serious functional force. What do you think Russia could possibly do?

[srmanuel]

Depends on how you define a threat, take over the USA In a land war, absolutely not but compared to the Taliban and Al Qaeda then they absolutely a threat

My point is, if we get into a real war with Russia in Ukraine then a much larger number of American soldiers will coming home in body bags and the war will expose how weak our economy is in terms of industrial production

[Lumper20]

Biden is the dumbest person I have seen in our White House. He is an idiot. Those who voted for Biden put our Nukes in his hands.

[David Hunter]

Putin invaded Ukraine.

Putin occupies Ukrainian territory.

Putin’s politicians have threatened follow-on invasions of:
Moldova
Finland
Lithuania
Estonia
Latvia
Poland
Romania

Putin’s propagandists have threatened to nuke Britain numerous times (due to its material support for Ukraine and the Baltic states).

Yet you accuse NATO of being warmongers? For arming Ukraine to continue its restrained defence against Russia’s invasion? Why don’t you wake up and smell what you’re shovelling!
