The MAD Yankee Eff-ers fantasising Russia won't retaliate

MAD = Mutually Assured Destruction



Military Watch:

U.S. Senator Says Nuclear First Strike on Russia Should Remain an Option

Amid rising tensions between the United States and Russia, over both ongoing civil war in Ukraine and the political orientation of Belarus, Mississippi Republican Senator Roger Wicker highlighted that an American nuclear first strike should no be ruled out. He stated that one possible course of action could be that “we stand off with our ships in the Black Sea and we rain destruction on Russian military capability. I would not rule out American troops on the ground,” adding that Washington should not “rule out first use nuclear action” against Russia.

This followed the floating of the possibility of U.S. ground force deployments, with Wicker stating: “I would not rule out military action. I think we start making a mistake when we take options off the table, so I would hope the president keeps that option on the table.”

The Senator’s statements appeared not to reflect a consensus in Washington, with the Biden administration’s special advisor for nuclear security, senior director for arms control and nonproliferation on the National Security Council Jon Wolfsthal, calling his statement “dangerous and irresponsible.”

Some, however, such as Illinois Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, supported Wicker’s position. “Russia advances till they hit a brick wall. We can be the brick wall, or we can retreat from the Sudetenland and hope he doesn’t intend to rebuild ALL the Soviet Union. History repeats itself but we always deny it’s happening,” he stated.

Russia and the United States have the world’s first and second largest nuclear arsenals, with over 7000 each, giving each over five times as many warheads as all other seven nuclear weapons states combined.

American lawmakers have long made statements advocating a much harder line than official policy would dictate, including in 2017 when there were widespread calls for an unprovoked against North Korea including plans for mass use of nuclear weapons.

In 2015 and 2016, in the lead up to presidential elections, there were also frequent calls among candidates and lawmakers to declare an illegal no fly zone over Syria without UN authorisation. This would have entailed shooting down Syrian and Russian military aircraft over the country’s airspace to ensure only Western aircraft would have access. Such statements have frequently resonated with the American public, and thus been beneficial domestically for those making them, but have seldom translated into actual policy.

  1. Well , MAD Rus-Putin who is never-ever criticised in "Military Watch" (for obvious reasons) is fantasising that that the Yanks won't intervene when he invades Ukraine.

    1. Old moneyed mfer, before u fart u should think about how many of the recent wars were initiated by yr uncle Sam.

      The recent bombs and gunfire in “warning shots” experience of the pommie Navy destroyer in the Black Sea should be a clear warning about the Russian determination to stang up to ANY military threats.

      No matter how many time Putin has mentioned about no invasion of Ukraine yet the demoNcratic west has demonized that showpiece into a gimmicky reality!

      Wakakakaka…

      Maybe when force to act, Putin would just do what these mfering demoNcratic West so used to chant in their wet dream!

      BTW, have u read anything from the latest meeting between Biden & Putin?

      Yr US top dog "warns Putin of SANCTIONS, AID for Ukraine military if Russia invades"!

      When r the Yankee soldier boys going to land in Ukraine to carry out their 'mati katak' defense of demoNcracy?

      Talk is so so cheap!

      Yaloh - that's the only intervention s u r dreaming of from uncle Sam.

    2. Intervention doesn't have to be military.

      The Yanks in conjunction with their allies, are quite capable of collapsing the Ruble and bankrupting the Russian economy, if it comes to an armed invasion of Ukraine.

      U do know fart about Yankee international politics!

      Trade embargo, services sanctions etc work ONLY for weak 3rd world countries that the Yankee can arm-twisting his allies to follow.

      Even that, they don't always work as with Iran & some extent NKorea!

      If the US has the capabilities of collapsing the Ruble and bankrupting the Russian economy, uncle Sam would have done that long long time ago.

      In the era of Soviet Union, the Western allies couldn't do it. What make u think they can do it now with a very deterministic & powerful Putin?
