Kadyrov refused to send any more Muslim meat into the fight for Christianity🍿

Christian Torres3 said:Total children's stories. Especially that last ridiculous gem about how Crimea controls access to the Mediterranean. Like, how exactly are people supposed to bypass the Dardanelles now? Makes no sense.

You're wasting your breath. ☕

just hanging out with the Sultan

Nancy Gomez26 said:He might avoid the nuclear option, but when it comes to assessing his judgment, I don't trust Putin's mental stability. Chemical warfare is a much more volatile double-edged sword, especially when handled by amateurs. We have seen just about everything from the Russians in this war; we shouldn't be surprised by their next "brilliant" move.
Such a step would inevitably trigger further escalation, pushing the conflict onto a whole new level. Personally, I find it hard to believe the Russians actually possess the will to escalate any further.

Since he was targeting people holding the codes, the nuclear option is definitely on the table. Everything hinges on whether he can cling to power long enough.

It's his last-ditch effort for leverage at the negotiating table. If they dropped something on Ukraine, the war would end because no superpower is going to put a bullseye on their own soil just to fight a war where, officially, only Ukrainians and Russians are involved.

The only way they'd strike directly is against the UK or the US West Coast, and that’s not happening.

In that scenario, the war stops, Russia grabs Crimea, pulls out of the rest of Ukraine, and spins the whole thing as a win by claiming Crimea—giving them control over the Black Sea and access to the Mediterranean and Africa.

Nathan Thomas12 said:The article kicks off with 'Allegedly, on July 22nd, Russian vessels blocked the entrance/exit route from the Adriatic Sea...'

So that would explain why our Navy was moving down to the southern coast during that time.

Nicole James said:LOL, maybe in your wildest dreams. Americans don't pour billions in aid into a country they intend to just abandon. And honestly, nobody is all that terrified of those famous nuclear weapons anymore. There's far too much hype surrounding them.

Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan?

Ukrainians already made a massive blunder when they gave up their nukes just to spite Russia.

The only way out of this mess is to completely clear the Russian army out of Ukraine and cut all ties with Russian influence. Anything else is just a defeat that brings us right back to square one, which basically guarantees more wars down the road. It’s like what would have happened in the US if we hadn't dealt with the occupiers—kind of like how things are looking in Canada today, where they're basically spiraling back into the nineties because they haven't cleaned out the politicians from that era.

Why does everyone keep calling Russian communists fascists?

Timothy Williams5 said:Men are being recruited from mosques in Chechnya to fight in the war against Ukraine

In Chechnya, imams are actively recruiting believers into the "Akhmat" battalions to participate in the conflict in Ukraine, often conducting these recruitment drives during Friday sermons.
According to Insider , this process is being facilitated by Ibrahim Yangulbayev, the founder of the Chechen socio-political movement 1ADAT.

The Akhmat units are offering men between the ages of 18 and 40 a salary of approximately $650 ($2.50). Curiously, while these recruitments take place, the imams continue to tell their congregations that they won't be sent to Ukraine.

It's gonna be a mess when Islamic cells start waking up across Europe.
Russia could easily fund that, along with Iran.

Charles Chase13 said:My point is that Japan is extremely land-constrained and densely populated. Hiroshima and Nagasaki underwent decontamination processes to clear out radioactive material, and the half-life of most radioactive particles involved was relatively short. Furthermore, because those were airbursts designed for maximum destruction, much of the fallout was dispersed high into the atmosphere. Within a few weeks, radiation levels dropped significantly, aided by a typhoon that effectively washed the ground. In Japan, space is at a premium; every square inch is utilized, so repopulating a devastated city wasn't an impossible feat. It's also worth noting that the USA played a significant role in Japan's recovery during an era of peace and economic rebuilding—setting aside Cold War tensions and proxy conflicts. In the West, we don't encounter these scenarios often, and it is typically easier (and cheaper) to simply abandon a city depending on the scale of the damage. You have all the space you need.

However, one or two bombs aren't the real issue here; the political fallout of such an act far outweighs the physical destruction and contamination. The real nightmare is a global nuclear war, where massive amounts of radioactive material are released into the atmosphere and major infrastructure in various nations is leveled, making a quick recovery impossible. Ultimately, one of the doctrines for the later stages of a general nuclear conflict involves specifically targeting civilian centers and infrastructure to cripple an opponent's ability to recover—be it militarily, economically, or demographically.

The sequence of events generally unfolds like this: one side attacks, the other responds with equal force, then comes a phase where both sides strike every military target they can find. Finally, in the last stage, they intentionally target civilians and cities to ensure long-term incapacitation of the enemy—essentially knocking them "out of the game" for the long haul. In Western military and intelligence circles, this is known as a "countervalue plan."

Regardless, this is incredibly grim subject matter. It feels morbid to discuss it so casually, like some idle chatter over drinks at a bar. It is easy to toss numbers around from the comfort of an armchair, but experiencing something like that is a different reality entirely.

Look, man, if Russia dropped a nuke on Ukraine right now,
which other country would actually be willing to hit Russia back with the same level of force?

None of them.

Samuel Rodriguez52 said:So, I was reading this interesting deep dive from BuzzFeed News where they basically fact-checked all those claims coming out of the Russian Department of Defense regarding their supposed "wins" in Ukraine. It’s kind of wild when you look at the numbers, because the spokesperson, Igor Konashekov, keeps reporting these massive victories on TV every single day. For instance, back on June 10 Biden, he claimed they had destroyed 215 Ukrainian aircraft, which is pretty crazy considering the Department of Defense says Ukraine only even had 152 planes to begin with before the war started. He also mentioned taking out 84 Bayraktars, which is actually twenty more than what Turkey ever even provided to Ukraine. On top of all that, he’s been reporting these territorial gains constantly; he claimed forces "captured" the town of Kremenna four different times, and then there were these repetitive reports about seizing Novomajorski, Taramčuk, and Borovenka. 😁

out of 4 Americans who went to Ukraine, the Russians killed 70 of them

The absolute worst part of this whole mess right now is those 12,000 fighters being brought in just to commit atrocities against civilians. It's a move designed to crush Ukrainian morale, and the Russian military won't even have to take the blame for it directly.

Keith Morgan10 said:Look, I’m not saying I’m on Russia's side, no matter how much that might sound like I am, but man, this whole wave of Ukrainian propaganda is just exhausting to watch and listen to.
It makes you feel like there's some massive, hidden agenda at play beyond just having NATO bases in the region.

I mean, was the US fighting that aggressively for support back in the 90s?

The issue back then was that the US was viewed as this "renegade nation," and the opposing propaganda painted it as a brand new fascist state in Europe—something nobody would ever get behind.

To make matters worse, you had certain extremist groups using old fascist symbols leading the charge on the front lines, specific figures blowing up planes, and leaders slapping old regime patterns on the flag.

Who in their right mind in the West would support that?
That’s why you don't see those Nazi symbols in the Ukrainian ranks anymore, at least not publicly. It would only serve to validate Putin's claims about "cleansing Ukraine of fascists."

rape_artist said:Putin removed the Chief of Staff of the US Army for the failure of the operation in Ukraine.

This is probably the worst-case scenario. His successor is going to be even more ruthless.

Plus, he’ll have to open up fronts globally just to stop all those foreign powers from piling into Ukraine. Ukraine is toast once the West gets tied up fighting in places like the North America or the Baltics.

Mexicans posted a video showing Russians being crucified on a cross
Anyone seen any proof this clip is actually legit?
It's blowing up on Twitter right now, no clue why it hasn't been taken down yet

Grace Bennett6 said:So what's North Korea waiting for then? 😵

They don't have the range or the muscle to touch the US, plus they aren't even at war.

Douglas Davis4 said:It takes more than a few days to ignite a nation, but it looks like the Russians aren't just going to stroll through the streets without a fight.
Zelensky seemed in good spirits this morning. No fear visible... the resistance is massive, and honestly? It was totally unexpected.

Resistance is only going to ramp up as Ukraine gains momentum. Meanwhile, Putin’s getting twitchy and is likely gearing up to throw heavier weaponry into the mix with the next waves. He’s stuck in the mud now; there's no turning back. This whole thing is headed straight for total war.

fadedridge903 said:The truth is, those "revelations" usually only happen when someone from an opposing faction within the party decides to leak the documents.

Exactly. That’s basically the peak of investigative journalism in America.
A news site without actual reporters on the ground isn't even a real media outlet.

Putin can't just go rogue and toss a nuke whenever he feels like it; he needs specific codes and a whole protocol involving multiple people

Honestly, even if he did pull the trigger, who’s actually brave enough to hit back?
It would probably just end the war and force a surrender, kind of like what happened with Japan, and basically flip the entire global order upside down

Terry Barnes9 said:The key part here is—yesterday (Friday). Right after that shipment from Europe showed up.

Seriously, Zelenskyy was on Twitter this morning bragging about more gear arriving from France. I think I saw somewhere that Canada is sending stuff too. I mean, if they already have "surplus" to throw around, what else do they even need?

If they actually had stockpiles ready to go, wouldn't they have just handed them over to whoever wanted them already? Why wait until the second day of a war to start arming people? It’s beyond obvious—Ukraine was totally unprepared for this.

Pretty sure they don't have enough gear for 900,000 people.
