The decision Khrushchev made to give a piece of Russia to Ukraine in 1956 was so unreasonable that I believe the leading academic theory for why he did it is still "he must have been drunk." The western Ukrainians -- who were on the wrong side in WWII -- then immediately began harassing and attacking these east Ukraine Russians after the CIA coup in 2014. Had Khrushchev just not done this we might have been saved from this absurd yet horrific specter of nuclear holocaust.
Russia's initial incursion was ridiculed and called weak -- by a US press that willfully refused to understand Russia just wanted peace, and a US gov't that sabotaged the peace agreement that Ukraine immediately agreed to. This war should have been 1 month long. Hundreds of thousands of people should not be dead. But the US forced Boris Johnson to go to Kiev and cancel the peace treaty, which he did. Zelensky, it should always be remembered, campaigned on a peace with Russia platform. But the neocons run the world, don't they?
And so the neocons, whom Reagan called "the crazies," bring us to the brink of the end of human civilization. Reagan was right. They are crazy. And people are not nearly terrified enough of the danger we are in. I hope we make it to January 20, I hope Trump and Putin can come to an agreement to refrain from ending human life until then. I fear these people have the attitude that either they will control the earth, or the earth will cease to exist.
This should be called the "Cringers are Us" society. Hell no we don't walk on our feet and stand up straight like human beings! We have given Ukraine just enough weapons to get themselves killed. Why not a little more assistance to win the war.
What is so bad being killed with a nuclear weapon? Is it worse than being killed with a conventional bomb? WW2 tried "Peace in Our Time", how did that work out? Ans: 50m dead, the vast majority killed with conventional weapons. An opinion on being killed with a nuke or traditional weapon is something that I have no opinion on. None whatever. Yep, keep on cringing!
Rubino, Putin greatly appreciates quisling fearmongers like yourself spreading his propaganda and lies. I hope you've applied for your stipend from the FSB, they're passing out big bucks to undermine western democracies and you're contribution is key to his objectives.
It is incongruous that gold is down circa 3 percent today, as if everlasting peace among nations has broken out.
I am reluctant to imagine fission and fusion weapons have never existed. Uranium supplied reactors can generate abundant electricity. The fission weapons used in Japan were modest explosions in relation to subsequent inventions. Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been rebuilt. If they thrive today, this does not at all imply they were not devastated 79 years ago.
Theatrical brinksmanship is irresponsible. Trump2 is correct that provocations should be reduced and peace sought.
Yet this is difficult, apparently given a hopeful belief among some members of Congress that they can line their pockets with riches to be extracted out of Ukraine.
It is though members of the Deep State are so used to being in charge that they are unable to be realistic about what they are up against. They have brought China and Russia closer together, as allies. Each is a formidable military opponent.
No U.S.officials until 11/21/24 have ever bluffed about having sufficient nukes for self defense.
It's too late now.
So why is it that Victoria Nuland, Anthony Blinken and Co. aren't already fired -- for placing all Americans and the world -- the entire human species -- at risk of extinction? And the president?
Where's Congress? Where are the state attorneys general? The state Governors? What are the countervailing checks and balances against that 11/21/24 outrageous, unauthorized use of executive branch power?
That illegal ACT OF WAR in having "proxy nation" Ukraine shoot an ICBM into Russia?
i can tell you from just talking to people in passing.........that the Majority of the Public do not even know that we are on the Edge of War..........
the Deep State is not going to let Donald Trump look good at all.........Donald Trump is walking into a Huge Trap.......does he have the Intellegince to know that
Putin is just following orders, like the rest. To have ended the war, before any SMO/Invasion, all he needed was to turn off the gas straight away and a political solution found. But he didn't, instead, he's making NATO, who always requires an enemy to be out there, relevant, plus boosting sales for the MIC. The dead and injured on both sides, collateral damage, just same as pharma cartel. Europe now has such high energy costs, industries are closing or moving out, not just because of the fighting, but because of the climate change hoax and net zero goals, committing suicide.
The 3 minute video you posted of Donald Trump talking about the current domestic and international situation that exists is the greatest speech I have ever heard from an American. I hope he can achieve his goals and is not murdered like JFK.
Being in the UK I am alarmed at how stupid Keir Starmer & David Lammy along with Jo Biden and who ever is operating him, are, in allowing the use of missiles that can reach into Russia! Why at this stage when Ukraine have lost and the US public have shown their views by electing Trump. This causes more loss and of course corners Russia further. Why on earth would people do this at this stage? Keir Starmer as millions of Brits well know, is a fool, arrogant, and hugely disliked so soon after being in office. He does not have experience and certainly not the trust of the UK people. The number of MP's Labour have do not reflect the truth. Only approx 20% of the UK population voted Labour and now most that did, regret it. He does not have a mandate to act in this way.
I hate that collective "We." We the people didn't want this proxy war in Ukraine or Gaza. The bureaucrats, politicians, and arms merchants aren't us. It's time to separate we the people from them the serial killers. No more of this collective "We"!
All the NATO & U.S. warmongering politicians should be outfitted with an M-16, a helmet and a ninety pound pack and parachuted into the Ukraine-Russia war front to fight the Russians. I believe their pro war attitude would change and that a peace settlement would be found in a matter of a few minutes.

A couple of questions....
Has there been an 80 year period of time in European history without war between countries prior to NATOS formation?
If Ukraine were part of NATO in February 2022, would Russia have invaded it?
'

Yeah, you're brainwashed. Try reading a greater variety of news sources. Best of luck getting out of the cult.
Wars and rumors of wars; Everybody paying attention?
Trump, if he had any spunk, would tell Trans Senator Lindsey Graham to SHUT UP.
Just curious, what does Lindsey Grahams sexual orientation have to do with anything?
It is better than Graham forthrightly declare his motives and not be hushed up.

They are absolutely unable to be realistic, I agree.
America has no hypersonic nuclear missiles.
No U.S.officials until 11/21/24 have ever bluffed about having sufficient nukes for self defense.
It's too late now.

My take on nuclear anxiety.

Amazing how stupid they think we are. The orange man with two war flags and a painting with two admiralty law ships!
