You should be!!!!!!!!!!!! You really, really should be.

We didn't provoke Russia into trying to put nuclear tipped rockets in Cuba but we ARE provoking Putin now.

IT IS STUPID!!!!!!!!

Since we have a conniving spineless potus who shouldn’t be in the White House but in the big house, Putin know the US under brain damaged biden and NATO who doesn’t take their role seriously, won’t do anything to challenge him, putin got the world by the cajones. FJB.

Nope.
Who keeps filling youz with such magnanimous fears ?????

I figured you'd say that. You'd probably like us to do a first strike, right? Oh yeah, light up the planet.

So, you think that if Putin wants to end the world he can be provoked into doing it? If that was his goal then he already would have done it and we wouldn't be here to argue about it...would we!

Putin is a bully and the thinks he can intimidate anyone into doing his bidding. With Trump, he didn't need to because he was like a puppy following at Putie's feet. But Bidens a Democrat and while Putin was able to get Obama to kowtow, Biden isn't Obama, no matter what our conservative friends might think. So what did Biden do and say when he was one on one with Putin? We don't know which is why conservatives are so afraid. But like I say, if Putin wanted to end the world he already would have found cause to do it. Putie wouldn't have waited till now to do what he had planned to do all along. No, if Putie wanted full-scale thermonuclear war, all he had to do was to launch that first missile.

So it's safe to assume that Putie doesn't want a war else we would have been vaporized by now and we wouldn't even know it.

Then why doesn't Putin simply take Ukraine and what's the point in threatening Biden if he is supposed to be so spineless? Apparently, Fox hasn't shown you all that has happened in Ukraine that caused Putin to retreat back to the Donbas? If Putin has the world by the 'cajones' then how is it his military was such a failure against Ukraine; destroying 460 mainline Russian battle tanks plus 2000 armored vehicles and at least 10,000 Russian soldiers dead in a little over two months? If he has such big cajones why were the Ukrainians able to kick his sorry ass?

Sorry FBJ but you need to pull your head out of Fox News ass. You will never get the t***h when you are fed what you want to hear else you will turn them off and watch someone else. That's what Putin's underlings did to him; only telling him what he wanted to hear to the extent that he expected it to be true. Well, call him flabbergasted when everything he came to believe was nothing but a pile of s**t. He thought his military couldn't be stopped and would walk over Ukraine in a matter of days--certainly not weeks and with so much blood and gold. That wasn't in his planning. That's what happens when you have a bunch of yes men telling you what you want to hear not what you need to hear if you are expected to make a decision based on the t***h!

Putin was dupped and it matters not the size of his balls because the Ukrainians have been playing ping-pong with them all the live long day...so to speak!

No, I refuse to be afraid of a nuclear disaster. The unbearable suspense of waiting for the first desperado to end so-called "human condition" had been nerve wracking.

Mankind has practically banned a peaceful use of the nuclear energy because of precisely such fears, but nuclear armament and the threats to use it are marching on.

Let's get it over with, okay?

PeterS

Aren't you the one who's arguing that Putin is going to go ballistic? Well, wouldn't that warrant a first strike with our subs in the Arctic that could takeout much of Russia before Putin could think to react? Then we could finish Russia off with our land launched ballistic missiles and in under an hour, Russia would be nothing but a pile of rubble. Then fly in our B2's and take out anything left standing!

I mean don't make the argument that Putin is out to get us only to pull back when a first strike is the most practical option! So nuke em. From what we've seen of their military it is no match for Western technology so we need to take advantage while we can! Because Putin now thinks he's the biggest stud in town so he would never expect Biden to pull a first strike--meaning that Biden needs to do just that because this is war and his country needs him to lead and eliminate Russia as a threat from here on out. Can I get an Amen! Ubetcha, let us get rid of those Ruskies now and forever! Whew!!!

PeterS

I agree, Let's nuke the bastards out and let the chips fall where they may! If we go first we can take out Moscow and every deepsea port that they have in the Arctic. Screw the peaceful use of nuclear power. We tried it and there will always be assholes like Putin so let's just take them out while we can and never let someone so unstable get a hold of nuclear weapons again!

I read three times Richard Rhodes extraordinary science history, The Making of the Atomic Bomb. When you read what the scientists themselves had to say about what they were doing and the monster they created, it gives one pause when thinking about a nuclear war.

In reply to his CO's ribbing about who the enemy might be, Commander H****r (Denzel Washington, Crimson Tide) said "In my humble opinion, in a nuclear world, the real enemy is war itself."

dtucker300 Loc: Vista, CA

It's above my pay grade as I have no control over what others may do. I can only take responsibility for my own actions. I refuse to worry about something I have no control over. But I will try to influence others to not be stupid. We have had nuclear weapons since before I was born. I'll bet that Ukraine regrets giving up all of its nuclear warheads. The empty promise from Russia, Great Britain, and the United States rings hollow at this point. We have inadvertently signaled to Iran that if they want to be left alone and secure to not be threatened by other countries they need to build a nuclear weapon. North Korea did it to prevent a regime change.

Easy enough for you to say... How old are you???

Some of us intend to enjoy the world a bit longer...

Take your war mongering and stick it where it belongs...

FYI: You are coming across as the unstable one here...

👍 On the same page on this quagmire, that biden is wishy-washy on, with him being a puppet there is no telling on bad he’ll give up when the whispering starts and a blank piece of paper is signed into an EO. Then we have trolls that want to spread keyboard courage on war acceptance. Unfreaking believable.

iFrank Loc: San Antonio

What a bunch of war mongering idiocies, you’re a mental midget rousing up a fight between others. Your opinion is full of hot air that doesn’t have any credit. You’re a foreign troll that doesn’t have value in life and can’t see the difference.

I believe old Pistoff Pete is dumping a hefty load of angry sarcasm.
He can be terribly irrational at times.
