Trump asked Zelensky if Ukraine could strike Moscow
The Telegraph ^

Posted on 07/15/2025 6:29:19 AM PDT by USA-FRANCE

Donald Trump asked Volodymyr Zelensky if Ukraine was capable of striking Moscow, as he encouraged more long-range strikes inside Russia. The US president told his Ukrainian counterpart that he wanted Ukraine to “make them [Russians] feel the pain” and force Putin to the negotiation table, sources told the Financial Times. “Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow?... Can you hit St Petersburg too?” the US president reportedly asked on the July 4 call. The Ukrainian president replied: “Absolutely. We can if you give us the weapons.” Following the call, Kyiv received a list from US aides of long-range strike systems that could be made available via third-party transfers. Despite Mr Trump’s shifting stance, the US reportedly remains reluctant to give Ukraine Tomahawk missiles, precision strike cruise missiles that can hit targets 1,600km away.

Nuke War is what you Zeepers want. As long as a nuke does not explode where
YOU LIVE. Better to deploy 100,000 French Surrender Monkeys to help Yookland
fight Ruzzia.

The story was obviously BS.
———
Exactly, Trump knows what will happen if the West gives long range missiles to hit Moscow. A further attempt by the Brits to divide the MAGA crowd, many of which do not support the war.

I work with a few Brits- let it be known, they all HATE Trump with a passion.

If I get incinerated here in L.A. in a full scale nuclear war with Russia, I hope it happens at 2 am.
I’m beginning to think that humanity is terminally stupid and our species is doomed to extinction, sooner rather than later.
It’s mind boggling.

Ukraine is losing, the army is being slowly ground down. That is the plan, not the taking of more land. The destruction of Ukraine and NATO as a military threat to Russia is Putin’s aim. Now Trump has grabbed the Tar Baby trying to save lives. We can only watch.

Putin will come back to the negotiating table when the negotiating part is done and ready to sign. Returning Crimea and the oblasts annexed by the Russian Duma, Ukraine membership in NATO and NATO bases and troops in Ukraine, are non negotiable. The size and composition of Ukraine’s military, Zelensky’s future, and that of the right-wing nationalist supremacist militarists like Azov and Right Sector….. maybe some negotiation room

TRUMP-”But if we didn’t have it we couldn’t talk but I listened to him constantly using the n word , that’s the n word, and he’s constantly using it. The nuclear word, and we never talk, we say oh, he’s a nuclear power, but we’re a greater nuclear power.”
(snip)
“You should say look , if you mention that word, one more time, we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth up and down your coast. You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these thousands of people die. It’s going to be hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of people by the time it ends.”

‘Vladimir, if you do it {Ukraine}, we’re hitting Moscow.’ I said, ‘We’re gonna hit Moscow.’

Trump says he would send nuclear submarines to go ‘up and down’ Russia’s coast to pressure Putin

There is a reasoned doctrine that accepts using low yield small tactical nuclear weapons in a ground war …the physical damage can be contained to a relatively small area, the psychological damage to the enemy would be immense and potentially war ending. I believe the term is “ escalate to de escalate”.

Is a superpower going to respond and kill millions if a brigade on the battlefront is wiped out with a tactical nuc?

How will the rest of an army continue to fight after witnessing the annihilation of a selected unit?

Worth pondering

That is likely because they are typical euro poofters. Anyone with testosterone frightens them.

This site has no effect on anyone that matters when it comes to the conflict.

Why? Moscow military bases, are NOT legitimate military targets?

Are you condemning Russian indiscriminate bombing of Ukraines civilian centers?
