Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

Danny Davis had Postol on his show today

Transcript from Mark Wauck

I've already given some talks to audiences in Germany about this problem of these missiles that the United States wants to deploy with Germany in 2026. This is going to drive the warning times down to minutes or shorter. This is going to create a nuclear warning situation that will drive the risks of an accidental nuclear warning and a false alert, or an accidental massive launch, through the roof. This is really going to increase the danger of an accidental nuclear war--I cannot emphasize this enough. We have people in decision-making positions who have no idea what they're doing. If they are engaging in this kind of behavior and they have no idea what they're actually doing--and it's becoming clearer and clearer they do not know what they're doing--Mr Putin just sent them a message.

Sounds like Russia will likely attack Germany if they move the new missiles there in 2026. Feels like a new cold war.

A shame the peace treaty wasn't signed in April 2022. People have cheered Ukraine to its doom. Yes, Russia has been damaged but Ukraine has been ruined. Ukraine is in a much worse position and the potential for nuclear war seems to have increased massively.

...

People have cheered Ukraine to its doom alright. Your posts are textbook examples of that repeating Russia's excuses and lies here to justify their illegal war of plunder and aggression.

Now you post cheering on a Russian attack on Germany under the pretence of concern. Zero condemnation of Russian aggression.

Shame Russia in violation of multiple previous peace agreements and treaties launched an illegal invasion of Ukraine and conducted the war via war crimes a and atrocities like Bucha. Something you never hold them to account for by condemning without reservation - always engaging in false both sides equivocations or whataboutery.

In light of that your claims of concern for Ukraine and peace agreements have no credibility.

There was no peace deal in 2022. Just Russia making demands of Ukraine that would have left it unable to resist Russian domination - deprived of Western assistance and obliged to have a miniscule army. More bad faith Russian diplomacy not intended to deliver peace.

Surrendering to such demands would doom Ukraine faster than fighting off Russian invasion.

It is Russia who increases the chances of nuclear war by violating the agreement by which Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons. A signal to other countries never to give up theirs or acquire them. A genuine position of concern for nuclear escalation and proliferation would recognise that.

Sigh, I think I might be done here guys. This thread has turned into an absolute gutter since the bans were removed.

You aren't worried. You think we don't see you thanking the Vatnik scutter or something? Anyway i'll take my own advice.

Think I'm finished here aswell. There still seem to be few genuine posters but the volume of pro putin kremlin sponsored anti Ukrainian skutter has just gone too far me anyway.

There was no real / tangible peace deal that could be signed.

There were discussions in Istanbul but both sides were miles apart on all the key issues... Donbas, Crimea, future security guarantees, size of Ukraines military.

And Russia engaging in bad faith diplomacy as usual... demanding it could veto assistance to Ukraine. So Russia demanded a tiny Ukrainian military and could then attack it and veto other signatories coming to its help!

Unfortunately it does cloud the water…

And brought then out of Afghanistan as well. Aside from the hammering their military was taking after the US supplied weapons kicked in, the costs were driving Russia to bankruptcy, same thing is happening again. It's said that those who fail to learn the lessons of history, are destined to repeat them !! The Russian experience would seem to prove it!

the costs were driving Russia to bankruptcy, same thing is happening again. 

On what sort of timescale though? Given the rate at which Russian advance has picked up lately, it's conceivable Putin have seized as much as he wants in a matter of months…

Let’s start with the one person who is threatening the world with Nukes because his army is failing in illegally occupying a country.

What other country apart from Russia is threatening Nukes at this moment in time???

I would implore yourself and anyone thinking of doing the same, please reconsider. If you throw in the towel on refuting the Russian ‘Peacemonger’ bullshit that gets posted here, the Kremlin and all their useful idiots on here win. This is exactly their MO, repeat the same bullshit over and over, cherry pick quotes that suit them, memory hole the stuff that doesn’t, and eventually the rest of us get so worn down, we give up the debate.

**** them, and their bullshit, and to all the regular posters on here that are usually quick to call them out on it, hats off to you, you’re doing us all a service 👍

A handful of nukes on two areas would wipe out Russia as a functioning state. I'd be nervous if I was a Russian.

Have you ever been to Ireland?
