that our country also has various means of destruction, and some components are more modern than those of the NATO countries,” Putin added.
He wasn't talking about nukes. he was talking about his hypersonic arsenal. He's not afraid to start ww3 because he has technology we do not have and that we have no defense for. He's not afraid to start WW3 because he believes he can win it.
Putin is trying to raise the stakes in Ukraine. Here's what it means
"Seven months on, Putin's language was if anything even darker than in the early hours of February 24. Then, he warned the West that Russia would respond immediately to those who stood in its way, with consequences that "will be such as you have never seen in your entire history."
(The day the Russians put Hypersonics in Kaliningrad?...I just hung my head thinking...Oh good Lord here we go. He wouldn't have put them there if he wasn't planning on using them. And the type he put there? Designed to take out NATO missile defense systems. I was working with a volunteer group I work with from time to time and Brother Brian saw my mind drifting off and he asked "Whats on your mind brother?" I said, "Are you really sure you want to know?" We both just smiled. I told him about the fact that Russia had just put those type of missiles there and what they were designed for and said "it's about to get real." he just looked like..OMGoodness...and we went on building our wheelchair ramp :-).
(How hard is this for all these so called "experts" to understand? If you had technology your adversaries didn't have? And not only that but they don't have a defense for it either? How likely would you be to go to the negotiating table? I've said all along they were all in from the get go, Hypersonics, Nukes, whatever it takes.)
"Alexander Baunov at the Carnegie Endowment puts it bluntly. In a series of tweets before Putin's speech, he wrote that the message to Ukraine's allies is this: "You chose to fight us in Ukraine, now try to fight us in Russia itself, or, to be precise what we call Russia."
(That is 100% correct. You're not gonna hit us on "Russia proper" so to speak? Then we will just change what we consider to be part of Russia to get our desired aim." And why was there this concerted effort at the UN about UNITY? If we and are allies are so united? Why do we have to keep talking about it so much? You wait and see, Europe will have the worst winter in 40 years and when Germany runs out of gas? Yeah...what do you think they are gonna do?)
"Baunov believes the objective is to turn Russia's invasion of a neighboring country into a defensive war, a distinction that would "make the conflict more legitimate in the eyes of ordinary Russians, leaving the Kremlin free to make whatever decisions and take whatever measures it deems necessary."
(Again, I completely agree, he's been wanting a fight for a long time now and he is gonna do whatever he needs to to insure that he gets it. Look how the Russian people are responding, you don't think they know what is coming down the pike?)
"Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that some 300,000 reservists would be available.
"These are not some people who have never heard of the army," Shoigu said. "These are those who have served, have a military registration specialty, have had military experience."
The mobilization is limited, perhaps so as not to alienate public opinion, perhaps to leave room for further moves down the road. Shoigu claimed: "Those who have served and have a military specialty are almost 25 million."
(If it was a "full scale invasion" like were being told here recently? Wouldn't there have been a call up of reservist somewhere along the way before now? As for why the mobilization is limited? Yeah, to leave options further down the line. They don't need any more, regardless of what we are being told.)
"But Russia's reliance on Chechen units, volunteer battalions, militia from Luhansk and Donetsk and even convicts recruited by the private military contractor Wagner belies the claim that there is a ready supply of veterans to head to the front-line."
(That is just complete, utter nonsense. If you were aiming for a fight with the US and its allies? And you know you have a built in advantage they don't have? And that they don't have a defense for? Would you use your best troops and equipment up front in the beginning? Or save them for later? The guy has been sandbagging from the get go and all these experts and think tank wanna bes are about to find that out.)
"So far, Lieven told CNN, "Putin's strategies have overwhelmingly failed, both in terms of military progress on the ground and economic pressure on the West to seek compromise with Russia."
(If he was gonna compromise? He never would have invaded. You can forget compromise. This conflict has been in the works since the end of ww2. Patton knew it would happen someday it's why he wanted to just go ahead and invade Russia after the fall of Berlin. To think there's not going to be a global conflict here shortly I think is pretty much a fools folly at this time. It's here, this is the age we are living in.)
"Schmidt also believes there is little risk that Putin would turn to tactical nuclear weapons, "because that will bring in NATO for real and he would lose the Russian military, the source of his power."
(That is faulty logic and a huge mistake to make. Lets say he does use a tactical nuke in Ukraine and we respond in a limited manner like somebody was saying on the point of origin of the attack? What happens when he hits London in 210 seconds with a hypersonic? Or Berlin? Or Paris? or Washington? Or Wall Street? Or all of them at the same time? How are your armies gonna coordinate anything when your capitols are devastated? All these freaking "experts" are acting like "Well he cant do this" and they are just flat out 100% wrong and are completely ignoring his hypersonic arsenal. We are past the days of mutually assured destruction like we had when I was growing up. One side has a distinct advantage and its not US.
"Efforts to contain Russia have failed, face it"
Putin 2018
He is not scared to go to war with US, NATO, anybody and its because of the hypersonic (nuclear or not) technology he has and ignoring this "is faulty logic and a huge mistake to make.)
"To some observers, the formal absorption of parts of Ukraine into the Russian Federation risks making any negotiated end to the Ukraine conflict -- however distant that may already seem -- near impossible."
(Negotiation has never been in the cards, ever, you can forget about it. Like I said, if you had a technology that the other side didn't have and didn't have a defense for? You would negotiate?)
U.S. has sent private warnings to Russia against using a nuclear weapon
"The United States for several months has been sending private communications to Moscow warning Russia’s leadership of the grave consequences that would follow the use of a nuclear weapon, according to U.S. officials, who said the messages underscore what President Biden and his aides have articulated publicly."
(Why would we be doing that if we didn't think he actually might use one? He's not scared of any consequences.)
"...a senior U.S. official said the communication has been happening consistently over recent months."
(Ya know? Ya keep backing somebody in a corner for decades? You might not ought be surprised when they finally come out swinging.)
"To defend that annexed land, Medvedev (Dmitry Medvedev deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council) said, Russia is able to use not only its newly mobilized forces, but also “any Russian weapon, including strategic nuclear ones and those using new principles,” a reference to hypersonic weapons.)
“Russia has chosen its path,” Medvedev added. “There is no way back.”
(They are just not scared or intimidated in the least by NATO, US etc. They are getting ready for war and we are like please, "DON'T, DON'T, DON'T".)
"Whereas previous Kremlin statements appeared to be aimed at warning the United States and its allies against going too far in helping Ukraine, Putin’s most recent comments suggested Russia is considering using a nuclear weapon on the battlefield in Ukraine to freeze gains and force Kyiv and its backers into submission, said Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, a nonproliferation advocacy group in Washington.
“What everyone needs to recognize is that this is one of, if not the most, severe episodes in which nuclear weapons might be used in decades,” Kimball said. “The consequences of even a so-called ‘limited nuclear war’ would be absolutely catastrophic.”
(Finally somebody is saying exactly whats up. You can pretty much count on them being used at this point, keep in mind we don't have a treaty with Ukraine, it is not in NATO etc. This was never about Ukraine but rather more about everything else, ending the $ role as worlds reserve currency, increasing inflation, breaking the financial backs of Europe and US, ending the UN, the IMF, the World Bank etc. Everybody who ever thought the post ww2 world would just go on forever like it has been raise your hands...
exactly.)
In an interview with CBS News’s “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday, Biden was asked what he would tell Putin if the Russian leader is considering using nuclear weapons in the conflict against Ukraine. “Don’t. Don’t. Don’t,” Biden said. “You will change the face of war unlike anything since World War II.”
(He's gonna and Dont Dont Dont aint gonna stop him. We have know he might for sometime or we wouldn't have been sending private messages warning them not to. "We have been extraordinarily lucky so far," Antonio Guterres (UN SEC General) said. Amid rising global tensions, "humanity is just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation" That was Aug 1st. I said then he knew what was going on in regard to Ukraine and nukes. Why else would he have said it if he didn't know their use was likely imminent?)
"Any direct military U.S. response against Russia would risk the possibility of a wider war between nuclear-armed superpowers — the avoidance of which the Biden administration has made its No. 1 priority in all of its Ukraine policymaking."
(Again, one side is gearing up for war, the other side is rehearing for hypersonic misssile attacks and saying please no, don't)
“If it’s Russian forces in Ukraine that launched the nuclear attack, the United States could strike directly against those forces,” Kroenig (Matthew Kroenig, a professor of government at Georgetown University and director of the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at the Atlantic Council) said. “It would be calibrated to send a message that this is not a major war coming, this is a limited strike. If you are Putin, what do you do in response? I don’t think you immediately say let’s launch all the nukes at the United States.”
(I agree, see comment above on hypersonic attacks on London, Berlin, Washington, New York etc...Putin's response would be, (and I have been saying this for sometime, my buddy at the detention center could tell you as much) "I showed restraint in not using my nuclear capability against you, if you want to go down the path to mutually assured destruction? Thats your decision, not mine." Meanwhile China is eyeing Taiwan.)
"But even a limited conventional strike by the U.S. military against Russia would be viewed as reckless by many in Washington, who would argue against risking a full-scale war with a nuclear-armed Russia."
(I agree, the fact is there are simply no good options to any of the myriad of crisis the world faces, least of all this one. It ought to be telling you just what time we are living in.)
“If he was really thinking very seriously about using nuclear weapons very imminently, he almost certainly would want us to know that,” Acton ( James M. Acton, co-director of the nuclear policy program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace) said. “He would much rather threaten nuclear use and have us make concessions than actually have to go down the path of nuclear use.”
("he almost certainly would want us to know that". These people, I just wanna smack em. Its why I live in a garage :-) JUST HOW MANY TIMES DOES HE HAVE TO TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO BEFORE YOU WAKE UP AND BELIEVE HIM? Apparently we believe him or we wouldn't have been sending private communications warning of consequences if he does use tactical nukes and apparently the UN Sec General believes him or he wouldn't have said what he did. These experts in their ivory towers are about to get a wake up call. Lots of experts didn't think Hilter was gonna invade Poland either but I forget I'm living in a country where these days over half the populace cant name the three branches of our government, so expecting anybody to know anything about world history would seem to be a stretch at this point. I've made plenty of comments about an arrogant, uninformed, apathetic populace eventually getting whats coming to it, but I digress.)
Godspeed everybody.
It's about to get real indeed.
I love you baby :-).
