There are certainly some congenital idiots on FR who slaver for nuclear war, but the vast majority of FReepers don't. Be very wary of people who are constantly trying to convince you that Russia is weak and can be defeated handily. They are paid liars.

It’s an annual drill. Nothing to get excited about.

Also, they question whether any Russian nukes will work, so let’s find out...

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

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

We don’t even have the missiles currently to compete with them. We are running with ICBM3’s built in the 90’s. We’re not using anything hyper sonic, they are.

If the source of Lying Joe Biden’s source of dirty money is threatened to be cut off, the members of the Worship Lying Joe Biden on Free Republic.com will see that it[going nuclear ] happens. At the present time they comprise 98% of Free Republic membership. Judging by their posts.

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.”

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

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?

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”

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.
