It is still working, that proves that Putin isn't evil. He'll push the button if necessary, but he still more want to save the Russians than kill the Americans. Anyway, Putin is still a 'hostage of the Kremlin', may be just a bit lesser than Biden is a 'hostage of the White House'.I was more addressing the “there’s no such thing” opening premise. Deterrence can work maybe. And maybe it has worked so far. But that’s far from a guarantee it will work when a madman is at the helm. And I am talking about an aberrant evil scumbag like Putin.
You seem to have forgotten a simple fact. It wasn’t the Russian Federation. It was the Federation of INDEPENDENT States. Independent countries, NOT provinces of Russia. Putin had no right to invade a independent Chechnya, just as he had no right to invade the independent country of Georgia to seize South Ossetia, or the independent country of Ukraine to first seize Crimea, then invade again to try to seize the entire country and now he’s trying to settle for the part of Ukraine called Donbas.Do you really believe that Joe really prefer killing Russians to protecting Americans? If he were - he wasn't allowed to become a leader of a nuclear nation at all.
It highly depends on your definition of the terms 'Russia' and 'provocation'. Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation and it was invaded by foreign Islamistic militants. Georgia attacked and killed Russian peacekeepers and citizens of Russia. Ukraine tried to join NATO, started WMD program, attacked recognized by Russia independent states. From the Russian point of view - it all were cases of self-defense.
So, I can say then that you are lying.
May be. May be not. But what is really important - the third part of this 'evil organisation' (Ukrainian SBU) tell now that they are allies of the USA. Should we take their words without a grain of salt?
Do you mean SVR? It's not the whole KGB, it's just an offspring of it's first department.
And if they care about their people - they are not that evil.
No. Of course it's much more complicated. If you make wrong choices - you may lost the opportunity of the retaliation strike at all.
At the distance of forty feet and if both of them are ready - may be (it depends on how accurate will be Vlad's first shot and how good are his bulletproof vest and helmet). But if Joe is attacking with the axe in his hands and the gun in his holster and Vlad's gun is cocked, locked and pointed at Joe, then, at the distance of twenty feet, Vlad will put a bullet in Joe's right arm and suggest him to surrender, and then, if refused, he'll put his second bullet in Joe's head (who's left his helmet at home), without giving him a chance to take his gun and retaliate.
And Vlad should not compare risk of the normal polite conversation (it is already finished) and the gun duel. He has to compare risk of the gun duel and the duel 'axe vs knife'. And here the risk of a retaliation bullet (especially with his bulletproof vest, helmet and medi-kit) is much lower that the one of the 'axe vs knife' duel which can be just a form of suicide.
Putin Can Play Three-Dimensional Chess While Our Leaders Can Only Play SolitaireIf Russia nukes NATO cities, the US will nuke Russian cities.
Moscow and Leningrad will be the first to burn.
Actually, it wasn't an independent state. It was and still is a province of Russia.You seem to have forgotten a simple fact. It wasn’t the Russian Federation. It was the Federation of INDEPENDENT States. Independent countries, NOT provinces of Russia.
Same way, they had right to fight back when Georgian agressors attacked Russian peacekeepers. And they have right to recognize independence of South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Crimea and any other state, as well as the USA have right to recognize independence of Kosovo.Putin had no right to invade a independent Chechnya, just as he had no right to invade the independent country of Georgia to seize South Ossetia,
Actually, China and India like Russia and want to use it against the West.or the independent country to first seize Crimea, then invade again to try to seize the entire country and now he’s trying to settle for the part of Ukraine called Donbas.
Putin and his kleptocratic oligarch buddies has managed to destroy Russia’s future. No one trusts Russia anymore to keep either economic or diplomatic commitments.
Actually, there was only one confirmed loss of T-90M and one of T-80BVM.He has exposed Russian military equipment to be garbage, giving lie to the Russian excuse that all the destroyed gear it sold to third world dictators were cheap monkey copies of superior Russian equipment and more easily destroyed than REAL Russian equipment..
Biden got his 10% cut from the UkiesTurkish security forces found Swedish AT-4 anti-tank grenade launchers, as well as other weapons and ammunition in a cave in northern Iraq used by militants of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), recognized in Turkey and the EU as a terrorist organization. This is reported by the Turkish Anadolu news agency.
The cave was taken during the assault as part of Operation "Claw-Castle", which began on April 17.
As a cherry on the cake, comparing the serial numbers of the grenade launchers will show that all this was delivered to help Ukraine
Sweden is a sponsor of terrorism! It is necessary to impose some international sanctions on it.
Georgian "aggressors", by that you mean the national troops of the country the RUSSIANS invaded? Peacekeepers can only be invited by the sitting national government. Otherwise, the Confederacy could have invited British or French peacekeepers to defend itself from the official American army that was fighting to quash their rebellion. The only country to recognize the "independence" of South Ossetia is Russia, which coincidentally in the country that invaded a peaceful Georgia and created the new, artificial country.Actually, it wasn't an independent state. It was and still is a province of Russia.
Same way, they had right to fight back when Georgian agressors attacked Russian peacekeepers. And they have right to recognize independence of South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Crimea and any other state, as well as the USA have right to recognize independence of Kosovo.
Actually, China and India like Russia and want to use it against the West.
Actually, there was only one confirmed loss of T-90M and one of T-80BVM.
They were invited by the Georgian government and their mission was approved by the UN SC.Georgian "aggressors", by that you mean the national troops of the country the RUSSIANS invaded? Peacekeepers can only be invited by the sitting national government.
Same situation with Taiwan, Kosovo, Northern Cyprus, and many other states. It is sovereign right of any country to recognize or do not recognize any other country.Otherwise, the Confederacy could have invited British or French peacekeepers to defend itself from the official American army that was fighting to quash their rebellion. The only country to recognize the "independence" of South Ossetia is Russia, which coincidentally in the country that invaded a peaceful Georgia and created the new, artificial country.
So what? It's old crap (but still effective for some purposes). It's cheap, at least cheaper than human lives. With 7:1 local superiority in tanks, they change one their soldier for twenty (sometimes even more) Ukrainian militants.How many confirmed T-80 and T-72 losses have there been? Hundreds.
Actually, they sent much more that two T-90M, and they didn't even try to use their Armata tanks.There were only two t-90s sent into action and one was killed by a handheld rocket, not even a Javelin. That's a fifty percent loss ratio of what is arguably the best widely deployed Russian tank.
Nothing proves Putin is t evil. He is evil. He just hasn’t used nukes. Yet.It is still working, that proves that Putin isn't evil. He'll push the button if necessary, but he still more want to save the Russians than kill the Americans. Anyway, Putin is still a 'hostage of the Kremlin', may be just a bit lesser than Biden is a 'hostage of the White House'.
If Russia starts a nuclear war with NATO, Americans are willing to give our lives to ensure that Russia is destroyed.Do you really believe that Joe really prefer killing Russians to protecting Americans? If he were - he wasn't allowed to become a leader of a nuclear nation at all.
No such invasion by Islamic militants. Russia was the only invader. The Islamic militants were only defending themselves from Russian aggression.It highly depends on your definition of the terms 'Russia' and 'provocation'. Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation and it was invaded by foreign Islamistic militants.
No. Georgia attacked and killed members of an invading Russian army.Georgia attacked and killed Russian peacekeepers and citizens of Russia.
That never happened. Georgia defensively attacked an invading Russian army.Same way, they had right to fight back when Georgian aggressors attacked Russian peacekeepers.
The US has never had any right to recognize the independence of Kosovo. Neither has anyone else.And they have right to recognize independence of South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Crimea and any other state, as well as the USA have right to recognize independence of Kosovo.
India will be pretty foolish if they do not ally with the West.Actually, China and India like Russia and want to use it against the West.
That is incorrect. Georgia never invited Russia to invade them.They were invited by the Georgian government and their mission was approved by the UN SC.
It is hard to blame Ukraine the way Russia keeps launching unprovoked invasions of their neighbors.Ukraine tried to join NATO,
Ukraine never did anything of the sort.started WMD program,
Ukraine was defending themselves from a Russian invasion.attacked recognized by Russia independent states.
Those are KGB lies. Russia is the only aggressor in all three nations.From the Russian point of view - it all were cases of self-defense.
Everything that I say is true. It is the KGB that lies.So, I can say then that you are lying.
The US is allied with Ukraine and will help Ukraine wage endless war against Russia.the third part of this 'evil organisation' (Ukrainian SBU) tell now that they are allies of the USA. Should we take their words without a grain of salt?
Probably. I can only ever remember the V. This nonsense about organizations and places changing their names all the time is pretty silly. There is no reason for it.Do you mean SVR?
It's all evil. And their greatest victims are the Russian people themselves.It's not the whole KGB, it's just an offspring of it's first department.
Putin is evil enough to be a threat to the world who needs to be deterred with nuclear war.And if they care about their people - they are not that evil.
The only possible wrong choice is failing to launch the ICBMs after it is detected that the ICBMs are under attack.No. Of course it's much more complicated. If you make wrong choices - you may lost the opportunity of the retaliation strike at all.
That's not a realistic model. The US will always have at least eight Ohio subs out on patrol. And the US will always launch our ICBMs if Russia attacks them.At the distance of forty feet and if both of them are ready - may be (it depends on how accurate will be Vlad's first shot and how good are his bulletproof vest and helmet). But if Joe is attacking with the axe in his hands and the gun in his holster and Vlad's gun is cocked, locked and pointed at Joe, then, at the distance of twenty feet, Vlad will put a bullet in Joe's right arm and suggest him to surrender, and then, if refused, he'll put his second bullet in Joe's head (who's left his helmet at home), without giving him a chance to take his gun and retaliate.
Nuclear war with NATO will always be suicide for Russia. Biden will retaliate with nuclear weapons if NATO is attacked with nuclear weapons. So will any other US president.And Vlad should not compare risk of the normal polite conversation (it is already finished) and the gun duel. He has to compare risk of the gun duel and the duel 'axe vs knife'. And here the risk of a retaliation bullet (especially with his bulletproof vest, helmet and medi-kit) is much lower that the one of the 'axe vs knife' duel which can be just a form of suicide.
Keep Finland And Sweden Out of NATO
The last thing America needs is more security dependents in Europe.www.theamericanconservative.com
The main point being made by this article is finally making it clear that Nato is only a tool of US aggression.
quotes:
There's obviously no longer any attempt to say that Nato protects all the member countries.
If Russia starts a nuclear war with NATO, Americans are willing to give our lives to ensure that Russia is destroyed.
No such invasion by Islamic militants. Russia was the only invader. The Islamic militants were only defending themselves from Russian aggression.
No. Russian peacekeepers were stationed there since early nineties, invited by the Georgian government.No. Georgia attacked and killed members of an invading Russian army.
That never happened. Georgia defensively attacked an invading Russian army.
Did the Russians have right to recognize independence of the United States of America? Any state has right to recognize or not recognize any other state, leaders of those states their regimes and so on...The US has never had any right to recognize the independence of Kosovo. Neither has anyone else.
They already were 'allied' with the West. Actually, they were a part of the British Empire. They didn't like it. And yes, now they make more than twenty dollars from every barrel of reselled Russian oil and happy about it.India will be pretty foolish if they do not ally with the West.
Georgia invited Russian peacekeepers in early nineties. And they have been kept peace between local Ossetians and Georgians until Saakashvili ordered attack them.That is incorrect. Georgia never invited Russia to invade them.
It was hard to blame Cuba for invite Soviet troops (with their nuclear missiles) back in 1962, but there is no any practical need in blaming. Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba were a treat and the USA eliminated this treat by a combination of diplomatic and military actions.It is hard to blame Ukraine the way Russia keeps launching unprovoked invasions of their neighbors.
May be. May be Serbians didn't commit genocide of Kosovars, and Iraq didn't have WMD program, too.Ukraine never did anything of the sort.
Bla-bla-bla.Ukraine was defending themselves from a Russian invasion.
But SBU is KGB too.Those are KGB lies. Russia is the only aggressor in all three nations.
Everything that I say is true. It is the KGB that lies.
You see... There are no endless wars, because nobody has endless resources (first of all - human resources).The US is allied with Ukraine and will help Ukraine wage endless war against Russia.
You just don't study them. You are silly, ignorant and hypocritical.Probably. I can only ever remember the V. This nonsense about organizations and places changing their names all the time is pretty silly. There is no reason for it.
Don't mistake weakness for goodness or strength for evil.It's all evil. And their greatest victims are the Russian people themselves.
Putin is evil enough to be a threat to the world who needs to be deterred with nuclear war.
You see, if you are not ready when the enemy is ready - it's too late to launch ICBMs.The only possible wrong choice is failing to launch the ICBMs after it is detected that the ICBMs are under attack.
There were eight Ohios earlier. Right now their amount often decreased to six or, sometimes, to four. What is even more important there, usually, are only two of them at hard duty in Northern Atlantic from where they can attack Moscow and Saint-Petersburg, and there could be Russian attacking submarines (or UUVs), and what is even more important - an attack of few hundred W76-1 RVs, weaking by their ABD could cause a serious, but, very likely, not fatal wound.Such a mistake with the ICBMs would not deprive us of a retaliation strike. There will always be at least eight Ohio subs out on patrol.
He may not have enough of time, or C2 system may be degraded by the Russians.But no US president would ever make the mistake of not launching the ICBMs if it is detected that they are under attack.
It's simply not true.That's not a realistic model. The US will always have at least eight Ohio subs out on patrol. And the US will always launch our ICBMs if Russia attacks them.
No. Not always. This is a real problem. What is even more important, even if Joe can try put a bullet in Vlads belly - he can't be sure, that Vlads bullet proof vest won't protect him.So if Joe is fatally wounded, Joe will always have the ability to still draw his gun and fatally wound Vlad before Joe dies.
No. Any American president prefer save Americans if it is possible.Nuclear war with NATO will always be suicide for Russia. Biden will retaliate with nuclear weapons if NATO is attacked with nuclear weapons. So will any other US president.
That is incorrect. If Russia starts a nuclear war with NATO, Americans are willing to give our lives to ensure that Russia is destroyed.Definitely no.
They may be unwilling to rely on us, but we'll still be there for them.The only reason why Britain and France have their 'independent' nuclear deterrence - it's because the USA need to have a chance to stop nuclear escalation by sacrificing them.
That did not make it OK for Russia to invade Georgia.No. Russian peacekeepers were stationed there since early nineties, invited by the Georgian government.
That report is full of KGB lies.EU report states Georgia started 2008 war with Russia
Following a 10-month investigation, a European Union report has found Georgia the aggressor in its 2008 war with Russia, directly refuting claims made not only by the Georgia government, but also by its backers in Washington and the US media.www.wsws.org
Saakashvili did no such thing. He only attacked after Russia invaded his country.Georgia invited Russian peacekeepers in early nineties. And they have been kept peace between local Ossetians and Georgians until Saakashvili ordered attack them.
There is a difference between "Cuba being a Soviet ally" (which we allowed) and "Cuba hosting nuclear missiles" (which we did not allow).It was hard to blame Cuba for invite Soviet troops (with their nuclear missiles) back in 1962, but there is no any practical need in blaming. Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba were a treat and the USA eliminated this treat by a combination of diplomatic and military actions.
There was no Serbian genocide against the Kosovars.May be. May be Serbians didn't commit genocide of Kosovars, and Iraq didn't have WMD program, too.
They might. But I don't pay any attention to what they say. I disregard their claims just as surely as I disregard the claims of the KGB.Do you think that SBU or CIA don't lie?
The US has enough resources to keep Ukraine in the fight indefinitely. Perhaps Russia will run out of resources, but Ukraine will not.You see... There are no endless wars, because nobody has endless resources (first of all - human resources).
Don't be silly. These endless name-changes are pointless. If the KGB renames themselves the ABC or the XYZ it will not change who they are.You just don't study them. You are silly, ignorant and hypocritical.
Putin and the KGB are both evil. They are also both weak.Don't mistake weakness for goodness or strength for evil.
Our ICBMs are always ready to launch.You see, if you are not ready when the enemy is ready - it's too late to launch ICBMs.
That is incorrect. There are always a minimum of eight Ohio submarines on patrol. Sometimes there are more than eight.There were eight Ohios earlier. Right now their amount often decreased to six or, sometimes, to four.
The submarines on hard duty are strictly counterforce. It is the more distant subs that are countervalue.What is even more important there, usually, are only two of them at hard duty in Northern Atlantic from where they can attack Moscow and Saint-Petersburg,
No there couldn't. Russia has no ability to track our subs.and there could be Russian attacking submarines (or UUVs),
Russian missile defenses will not be of any significance. Missile defenses are useless against a large attack.and what is even more important - an attack of few hundred W76-1 RVs, weaking by their ABD could cause a serious, but, very likely, not fatal wound.
The President will always have enough time to launch the ICBMs. It only takes 80 seconds to launch the ICBMs even if it is done from out of the blue with no warning.He may not have enough of time,
Attacking our early warning satellites will put us on our guard just as surely as the detection of a large launch. The ICBMs will be launched as soon as radar confirms the incoming warheads.or C2 system may be degraded by the Russians.
That is incorrect. It is very true. The US will always have a minimum of eight Ohio submarines on patrol. The US will always launch our ICBMs if Russia attacks them.It's simply not true.
That is incorrect. If Joe is fatally wounded, Joe will always have the ability to still draw his gun and fatally wound Vlad before Joe dies.No. Not always. This is a real problem.
Missile defenses are useless against a large attack. Joe will always be able to fatally wound Vlad.What is even more important, even if Joe can try put a bullet in Vlads belly - he can't be sure, that Vlads bullet proof vest won't protect him.
If Vlad shoots Joe, Joe will always choose to shoot back.Also, with his right hand wounded and Vlad's gun pointed directly into his head, Joe may decide that it is better to give his axe and his wallet but save his gun and live and look for for a better chance in the future.
That is incorrect. If Russia is nuking NATO targets, any American president will always respond by nuking Russia.No. Any American president prefer save Americans if it is possible.
Everything in this report that they said was illegal for the Georgian gov't to do is what the Russians are doing in Ukraine today on a much larger scale.EU report states Georgia started 2008 war with Russia
Following a 10-month investigation, a European Union report has found Georgia the aggressor in its 2008 war with Russia, directly refuting claims made not only by the Georgia government, but also by its backers in Washington and the US media.www.wsws.org
Note also that the report was an outright lie about what happened in the war.Everything in this report that they said was illegal for the Georgian gov't to do is what the Russians are doing in Ukraine today on a much larger scale.
When a part of a country declares themselves independent, the national gov't will respond. They can't just sit back and let it disintegrate. That's why Russian propaganda groups created movements like #Calexit and #Texit in the US in the last 2 elections. Just trying to create strife.
Ukraine is not a breakaway province of Russia, and the Russian armed forces show no interest in concepts like "necessary and proportionate". They are firing missiles into Ukrainian cities 500km from the front- it's nothing but a gratuitous destruction of civilian infrastructure.
I didn't read the report. I assumed the "World Socialist Web Site" or whatever that was would have a certain perspective, lol. I doubt the report really presents it the way the web site does.Note also that the report was an outright lie about what happened in the war.
In reality Russia launched a massive invasion of Georgia without provocation, and Georgia's defense against that invasion was perfectly appropriate.
Erdo better be careful.So far Turkey is keeping Sweden and Finland out of NATO, and so far he is suceeding.
Ergodan is accusing both countries of supporting terrorism.
Actually the report was pretty bed. They took all the KGB lies at face value.I didn't read the report. I assumed the "World Socialist Web Site" or whatever that was would have a certain perspective, lol. I doubt the report really presents it the way the web site does.
Kick Turkey out of NATO.So far Turkey is keeping Sweden and Finland out of NATO, and so far he is succeeding.
No he doesn't. He just wants to commit another genocide.So there you have it. He has a point.
