But better than nothing I guess

What a joke

Maybe they’ll bomb Putins residence with him in it!

only inflecting pain on Russian infrastructure and population centers will make Russians put a stop to the war.....
They think that they are immune.

decided to declare war on NATO or the US?

Treason is only a crime in war time. Trump, Musk and all their compatriots could be arrested and tried for treason before Biden leaves office.

I know this would only happen in a Tom Clancy or John LeCarre' novel but fun to contemplate.

…the NATO flag would be flying over the Kremlin within four months of that decision.

Russia has completely destroyed its military machine and killed an entire generation of young men in this foolish war. It has never been weaker in living memory than it is today, thanks to Putin.

If TFG is in office the only rockets would be coming from russia. TFG would sit back and watch. (maybe even assist?)

… most of Russia’s nuclear arsenal is inert.

They inherited it from the USSR and the maintenance required to keep the warheads and missiles active is around 25% of Russian GDP. That expense is a major reason that the Soviet Union collapsed — and its economy was far larger than modern Russia’s economy.

The Ukraine war showed that Russia spent almost no money on maintenance for any of its military. It simply couldn’t afford to.

If Putin ever gave the order to launch, and wasn’t immediately assassinated by his military officers many of the missiles wouldn’t leave their siloes. Those that did would not be able to deliver a payload reliably, and the payload would be inert and not capable of going critical.

This is why the Russians keep rattling their nuclear saber. It’s because they don’t have any real offensive capability left.

Hope they have very good real time intelligence to ensure it is used accurately at valid military targets.
Make them count.

sigh

Remember when Trump timed the withdrawal from Afganistan to occur on Biden's watch knowing it, like all retreats, was going to be a shit show? It looks like this time Ol' Joe is giving Donny a little present on his way out the door.

Sick of being the party getting sand kicked in it's face.

It is about time

god, I hope so!!! No more delays!

I haven't read the article yet, but these thoughts immediately jumped to mind.
Thank you for the gift article. I'll start reading it now.

Slava Ukraini!

And the Ukrainians have been using it but until now, they were not using it to strike on the Russian territory. That was a condition the US had put on it for fear of starting WW3 . President Biden has now lifted that so they can start hitting Russian facilities in Russia.

I was thinking, Zellinsky just needs to go rogue and do it. I hope he can take that fucker out.

Fuck Putin.

do it for Joe and the Americans who support you

is my thinking.

Sorry, but as someone who grew up during the Cold War, I find this news to be chilling. If Putin declared war on NATO, we’d all be dead be the end of the week. I hope there are real negotiations soon. Not appeasements but a settlement.

N Korea gets a lot of supplies through vessels that are off the books and have gone "dark."

I think a few vessels heading clearly to PRNK from allies should go permanently "dark" by agents unknown who have similarly gone "dark" due to operating issues.

N Korea's engaging in provocations, time to damage the North Korean god-emperor-child some of his playthings. If his chattel--the population--suffer, well, guess what, being sent off to die for Russians that hate you probably also counts as "suffering."

Esp. nice if the vessels that become artificial reefs simply mirror the new submarine fleet in the Black Sea.
