Russian Shills:

-Excuse and defend Russia’s invasion and annexation of Chechnya.
-Excuse and defend Russia’s invasion and annexation of Georgia.
-Excuse and defend Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea.
-Excuse and defend Russia’s invasion and attempt at annexation of Ukraine.
-Excuse and defend Russia’s invasion and annexation of LPR.
-Excuse and defend Russia’s invasion and annexation of DPR.
-Excuse and defend Russia’s declared intention to invade and annex Moldova.
-Excuse and defend Russia’s declared intention to invade and annex the Baltic states -NATO members.
-Excuse and defend Russia’s threat to use nuclear weapons to defend its conquered territories.

NATO is correct to arm Ukrainians to fight Russia in Ukraine to avoid nuclear war when Russia attacks the Baltic States.

The world has had enough or Russia’s bellicose aggression -and it’s shills.

I generally don’t think we should ban groups of people wholesale when contentious policy issues show up with a few exceptions such as abortion etc.
But it is concerning how much they are in lockstep with DC, the woke Pentagon, the evil NWO State Dept, Nuland, Soros, Biden and his crime family, etc.
It becomes VERY concerning when it was revealed how the Pentagon is operating numerous social media accounts to promote war for Ukraine.

In early March the maniacs in DC had me hawking Hermain Kahn’s book On Escalation like Chicken Little. Well, welcome to my March nightmare.

“In this widely discussed and influential book, Herman Kahn probes the dynamics of escalation and demonstrates how the intensification of conflict can be depicted by means of a definite escalation ladder, ascent of which brings opponents closer to all-out war. At each rung of the ladder, before the climb proceeds, decisions must be made based on numerous choices. Some are clear and obvious, others obscure, but the options are always there.

Thermonuclear annihilation, says Kahn, is unlikely to come through accident; but nations may elect to climb the ladder to extinction. The basic material for the book was developed in briefings delivered by Kahn to military and civilian experts and revised in the light of his findings of a trip to Vietnam in the 1960s. In On Escalation he states the facts squarely. He asks the reader to face unemotionally the terrors of a world fully capable of suicide and to consider carefully the alternatives to such a path.

In the never-never land of nuclear warfare, where nuclear incredulity is pervasive and paralyzing to the imagination even for the professional analyst, salient details of possible scenarios for the outbreak of war, and even more for war fighting, are largely unexplored or even unnoticed. For scenarios in which war is terminated, the issues and possibilities of which are almost completely unstudied, the situation is even worse. Kahn’s discussion throws light on the terrain and gives the individual a sense of the range of possibilities and complexities involved and are useful.”

“ One posted some days ago that they would prefer nuclear war to letting Putin have the “annexed regions”.

Of course, nuclear winter is the only way the planet can be saved from global warming

A wise is always on the opposing side of everything that the democrats want to do. Especially if it sounds good.

Energy usage would sure be down, due to 1 billion 1st world citizens dead.
There would be particulates in the air that would likely cut down on the
sun’s rays.
Without all the honkies, there would be mass starvation in the mud hut people as well.

Nonnuke people can say whatever they want, but when Russia threatens us and Europe it makes a difference, and Putin has been constantly threatening the world since the day he first attacked his neighbor.

Are you suggesting that we should capitulate whenever Putin threatens to use nuclear weapons? Do you think showing our own squeamishness is likely to restrain Putin?

“Putin is the only one talking about first-use of nukes ... because Russia is losing”

How’s that “winning” working out for Ukraine, Europe, and us? If we keep “winning” like this, none of us are going to see Spring.

Socialists will cause wwiii. They want it because it allows rationalization for requiring large and fast changes they will claim are temporary, and when they cite emergency conditions as why, most sheep will go along with it.

Their normal hegelian dilectic incrementalism change is going too slow and they fear enough people will vote enough of them out of office in America and a couple other places and really start gumming up the globalist works for them.

The changes of course are not temporary, but permanent.

Russian socialists

European socialists

Usurping American socialists “running things”

So our missiles and bombers arrive a little later,. Still enough to pound Russian ruble a few times over.

The object is NOT for anyone to begin shooting off their arsenal.

Yes he clarified and said “preventative action” did not mean nuclear war. And when he said that i never thought that was what he meant. Nuke russia to prevent nuke war?
?...thats stupid and only a russian shill would make that interpretation. So he had to clarify for the stupid. So he never called for nukes.

Yeah, walked it back after being universally condemned. Everybody knew exactly what he meant. He meant nukes or he would have said otherwise

I don’t understan why pundist think if they continue mentioning “nuclear war” it makes it more likely. They are just like the main stream media that believes repeating democrats lies ad nauseum makes them true.

Seems like we’re on our way to WW3 which will last around 15 minutes. I hope the globalist warmongers on FR all have their underground bunkers ready. Their propaganda paychecks won’t do them much good when the fallout blizzard starts swirling.
