#1 Call his bluff. Democratic Ukraine must be protected. Let's tear the scab off and get this done once and for all. We cannot live under the constant threat of this dictator.

#2 My rough scorecard of Russian threats since the invasion of Ukraine is 118.

#3 You do realize he's not bluffing.

#4 Agree - Putin doesn’t bluff

#5 Well, call him. How many people here realize the US renounced its "no first use" policy quite some time ago?


Do what needs to be done. We cannot live under the blackmail of this foreign dictator, restricting what we can and cannot do.



We are the USA, no foreigners tell us what to do.

#6 The wise thing is to ignore this threat. Not even a "Sea of Fire" in it.

#7 ^Only if Trump wins - more precisely, if his electoral victory is allowed to stand. Otherwise, nuclear war is a certainty. And anybody who thinks that Russia will go MAD with USA, without wiping out Western Europe - probably believes that Muslims can be integrated in EUrope, Palestinians want a state of their own, and gender is fluid (In short, EUropean rulers).

#10 Yeah, go ahead and burn the world for the sake of Biden's imperial ambitions.

#11 Biden thought he'd call Putin's bluff when Putin said NATO's expansion into Ukraine would be an existential threat to Russia. So now we have this nasty little war and Biden is not winning so he continues to escalate instead of negotiate. Biden, it seems, is not a very good p0ker player. He and his fellow globalists might not be so happy when this globe they aspire to rule is all burnt black.

#12 A surprising number of Russian bots operating on this site. Might want to start banning those accounts to stop them from spewing pro-Putin propaganda.

#13 Because banning accounts and banning speech is so American. Were you public schooled?

#14 Well, there's "speech" and then there's a gummint approved megaphone.

They're not the same thing.

#15 Russian bots give us something to play with. Fred is kind enough to allow chewtoys to present themselves for us to rip apart:)

#16  A surprising number of Russian bots operating on this site.

Bots don’t last long with this crew. But there are a surprising number of true believers on all sides of the various subjects we look at here at Rantburg, in addition to the paid agitators in boiler rooms across the sea. I think as a result we’re getting a better sense of what is really going on over there than we would if all here were like unto little birdies in their nest agreeing,
