Democrats bring us closer than ever to nuclear war. Can't get Trump's inauguration fast enough.

Oh hey, has anyone done a welfare check on Seran, Back, T4F, Shaft, etc? I worry about them.

You mean in 1859?

No, in modern times. The update to DOD Directive 5240.01 made on September 27th that authorizes use of deadly force for military assisting law enforcement. While the DOD has denied that it does and that it only applies to intelligence operations for counter terrorism, the wording is clear and concise. You can see it here.

I made a thread about it.

Of course we know the government would NEVER exceed it's own self imposed limits to attack Americans. Ruby Ridge, Waco, Spying on the Trump Campaign by lying to a FISA court, the list goes on.

A directive isn't a law, and the US military has always had the authority to use force, up to lethal, against civilians in the US while assisting Law Enforcement. The document you are quoting here haas to do with intelligence sharing. the lethal force part means they can share intelligence with law enforcement, including events where law enforcement assets may be required to employ lethal force.

Hell, the US Marines laid down a withering storm of fie during the '92 LA Riots while assisting LAPD with a domestic dispute... Because "Cover me" in Law Enforcement is different than in the military.

I suspect Putin will respond with one or more small tactical nuke(s) in Ukraine. He has threatened that, as he has many times before, but I think the use of long range missiles into Russia will be the line that was crossed. I believe his prior threats were meant to condition the international community that it’s a serious possibility, as are these suspected non-nuclear ICBMs sent into Ukraine.

Highly doubtful, A nuclear bomb of any size, due to the prevailing winds will blow most of the fallout back into Russia, and the Russian controlled areas, including poisoning, Russia’s most productive farmlands.

Not to mention the NATO response if he does use one.

He’s moved the goalpost every single time anything gets escalated.

The lands on eastern Ukraine and pretty much straight to Moscow and most of Russia is just completely flat, with winds that predominantly blow into Russia from the west.

Throughout history, the main reason why Ukraine was so important, it was just more land buffer to protect Russia, since there is nothing geography wise to protect the heart of Russia.

Edited: Using a nuclear weapon of any size, will bring the war to a conclusion extremely fast one way or another. The last thing Russia wants is to end this war. The entire Russian economy is literally barely holding on due to the war and only the war, ending the war whether Russia wins or loses will completely destroy the Russian economy. Putin needs to drag this war out as long as he possibly can.

Russia loses, no matter if it wins, loses or drags the war out.

Latest message from Putin.

Now compare that to what Lindsey Graham said:

And now France and GB are wanting to send troops to Ukraine:

P.S. Now the US is talking about sending the Ukraine nukes.

"At the moment, the Russians are not the same threat as in February 2022, so we have a bit of time to prepare ourselves,' he said, adding that this meant ramping up investments into the defense industry.

The only important part of the article. The defense industry isn't making enough money off of this war, so of course we have to ramp it up so the defense industry can improve their bottom line.

Does the promised 24 hours for ending the Ukraine war start as soon as Trump is sworn in, or does it begin Tuesday morning?

He already made good on Israel & Hamas with a ceasefire agreement in place. If it ends up taking a few weeks to cease hostilities in Ukraine, we can give him a pass.

When it does happen, both Zelenskyy and Putin will be bitch-slapped back to that debate and both will be forced to bend the knee.

Imagine that Russia is a big bully and Ukraine is a kid with lunch money. The big bully is beating up the kid and got some of the lunch money. The United States steps in and says let the bully keep the money he stole from the kid he beat up.

It's totally obvious that Trump is appeasing Putin and f****** over Ukraine in the process. Russia attacked Ukraine. Russia was the aggressor. All those people died and Trump is letting Putin off the hook. It's an absolutely disgrace.

Bonus points to Hegseth for spilling the beans on the concessions Trump made to Putin without Ukraine at the table. I wonder what Putin gave up besides nothing?
