Let me be clear about Biden's decision to allow long-range strikes.

The last time this was under consideration, Scott Ritter told everyone he could reach that had Biden decided then that we would all have been dead that weekend because Putin would nuke the US.

I called bullshit on that because what Putin really said was that Russia would respond accordingly based on the actual threat presented. Which meant a couple missile hitting inside Russia would NOT - repeat NOT - mean that Putin would precipitously nuke the world.

I accused Ritter on X of being ridiculously hyperbolic on this issue - so he blocked me.

Well Biden did it - and we're all still here. Putin is not going to nuke the US over a couple Ukraine missiles hitting inside Russia. "Making the US (and EU) a direct party to the conflict" does not by any stretch of the imagination mean that Putin intends to start WWIII.

This is hyperbolic nonsense and needs to be refuted everywhere.

I see also that Scott Ritter has fallen for the "Trump Revolution" - he actually used those words in his Substack article on Matt Gaetz yesterday which I just responded to - and that's why, along with his hyperbolic rants about things, I no longer bother listening to him or reading his stuff. His analysis has become weak and too geared to getting views on Youtube rather than putting things in larger context. Which is very bad for a former professional intelligence analyst.

the continued unraveling and decline of the west continues... they are falling on all levels... hoping to elect more warmongers ( merz/baerbock etc) with the idea that this will turn the titanic from the approaching iceberg is the last resort of a misguided or worse leadership...

as for the mp zdanoka - this is yet another component of the same empire that seeks to censor or lawfare anyone who speaks out against it.. the eurpean union - especially the european commission under the direction of ursala von leyen is nothing if nothing autocratic, dictatorial bordering on totalitarian in their narrow minded agenda to keep russia out of any harmonious framework... but they slavishly devote untold hours and words supporting the zionist regime in israel.. it is a fascinating parallel isn't it?? what kind of people condone genocide while wanting to go to war with russia?? a sick people and leadership is my answer...
