Putin Draws A Red Line For Russia In Ukraine: Long-Range Missiles Could Spark Crisis
19FortyFive ^ | 9/16/2022 | Jack Buckby

Posted on 09/16/2022 12:41:20 PM PDT by whyilovetexas111

Rumors circulated this week that the White House was considering giving Ukraine the long-range missile systems it has asked for since the early days of the Russian invasion, but it became clear on Thursday that President Joe Biden ultimately decided against the idea. Sources close to the White House reportedly told CNN this week that the Biden Administration is unlikely to “significantly change” its approach to helping Ukraine, even as Russia retreats and the war looks to be winnable for Ukraine.

Those rumors, however, appear to have scared the Kremlin, prompting a response this week that the supply of longer-range weapons to Ukraine would be a “red line” for Russia.

What will Putin do when Biden sends Ukraine nukes? At this point, considering we are sending OUR OWN military gear to Ukraine, what won't he do?

The USA is at war with Russia.

No one in DC dares to admit it. Both sides still hide behind jargon, but its a fact. And Russia is going to be the first to recognize it outright.

That’s a quite a leap in the progression.

Small arms—->. Artillery —->. MLRS—->. NUKES!!!!!

I think you might be jumping a few steps.

When that war comes which side will you be on? I’m on the side of the United States of America. As for red lines all Putin had to do was stay the h*** out of Ukraine.

>The USA is at war with Russia.

Russian kosmonaut comes back from a space station and asks what is going on.

“Russia is at war with the USA. We’ve had 80 thousand casualties and 1000 tanks destroyed already.”

“How many for the Amerikanski?”

“They haven’t shown up yet.”

A stupid slogan. Is that all that rattles around in empty neocon skulls?

I'm on the side of the USA - not having our taxes looted for another corrupt neocon project and Hunter Biden's cocaine habit, not having thousands (or millions) of Americans killed in a useless war, not for the permanent intelligence community and war-state which now is bold enough to conduct coups against elected American Presidents.

Biden, Schwab, Soros, Prog Socialist Democrats, Democracy and the UN thank you for your support.

Me, I'm on the Constitutional Representative Republic's side, holding certain Truths to be Self Evident, and that those are Rights held by the American People, and the Government has NO Rights not specifically granted by the Constitution.

And Government Bureaucrats have even fewer rights.

Remember what this current United States Government did to protect the Rights of American People abandoned in Afghanistan.

The US war with Russia is all part of the “get Trump” hype that got out of hand. And Biden & Co. are too dumb to know what to do now.

The NATO countries that the Dems dragged into this are talking a good game...although less and less...but giving nothing, and I read this morning that Germany’s arms contribution is simply not happening.

The reason Russia hasn’t wiped the Ukraine off the face of the map is that it doesn’t want to. For one thing, these people are all Slavs, even though Ukrainians are heavily managed by Western Europe. And I don’t think Russia really wants WWIII.

Biden is almost dead now anyway, so it doesn’t matter to him...or to the big dogs in the tech and NGO world, because they all think they’ll be the survivors.

The Ukrainians would be nothing without the US. Having a president who is famous for being on a “West Wing” style TV comedy where he portrayed a president and played the piano with his penis doesn’t really equip him to be in the big league. And of course, most important of all, Zelensky was put in place by the Obama regime through the agency of the Biden family, including crack-head Hunter.

What a horrible team to start WWIII. The only thing that’s stopping it is that Russia doesn’t want it, and they’re counting on that. But how far can they go? At some point, the Russians are going to take the gloves off.

The other thing I want to know is who benefits from a war? Russia won’t, Europe won’t, and we sure won’t. So who is keeping this going?

As with former Russian rulers, Putin will do whatever he thinks he can get away with, regardless of what any other nation does. And that does not include launching nukes.

So comforting to know we have a senile old goat in the White House that couldn’t tell you what state he’s in if you gave him three guesses but has his finger on the nuclear trigger. Thanks, Dems. This nuclear war will ALL be on your bloody hands.

Of course, some people agree with the presidents of South Africa and Russia on the matter.

Sad to say, but the USA, led by the Clinton/Obama/Biden axis of evil are the bad guys. Throw in the corrupt DOJ and FBI Gaystapo and GloboHomo enablers, and you got a vicious, evil satanic regime running the show, willing to bring total destruction to the entire world to remain in power.

The USA is at war with Russia.

It's a Special Support Operation.

Without being judgmental, leaving Ukraine is another red line for Russia.

Russia can just piddle around and let Europe freeze and starve, and then hear new ideas from Europe.
