ICBM has been launched into Dnipro. Seems to have evaded air defense. No details on warhead if it actually had one but obviously not a nuke.

This is an interesting point you make. Why would Zelnzky be requesting this so close to Trump coming in? Is there a tactical reason? Why only Kursk? Possibly it's to help pull the troops out of there before the onset of winter and the possibility of their supply lines being cut off or more likely help to secure Kursk for negotiations? Who knows but lobbing some ATACMS and Storm Shadows into the area sure ain't going lead to any victory.

Agree and the fact is he will not deploy a nuke. I have, however, said he will retaliate for missiles coming into Russia and yes, I am well aware as is everyone that Putin has been doing this from day one. Doesn't detract from the fact that Kiev and other regions are preparing for a massive (not nuclear) hit from Putin. Biden's actions are reckless to say the least. Winter is coming and the fighting would have slowed down as it has previously. Biden has escalated the situation.

You seem to be off on a tangent. What I've been talking about is the current situation. No point saying "if Putin had decided NOT to invade a sovereign country?" because he has. More to the point is why was he able to. Putin is fkd but so are those that let this happen. The US knew well in advance what was going on. In fact the whole world could see what was going to happen with the massive build up of troops. I've posted previously that 100,000s of lives could have been spared if this was stopped before it started. Seems you've missed this bit of my posts or have chosen to ignore it.

You're right about Russia's weapon stock not being infinite but it's a lot more than what Ukraine have. The drip feeding of weapons to Ukraine has not helped. As for the ATACMS and Storm Shadow's what Ukraine really needs is more air defence systems. News is coming through that Russia has launched an ICBM possibly an RS-26 which is nuclear capable into Dnipro. Someone posted earlier either on this thread or another that's there's no escalation. You can make your own mind up about that. I said Putin will retaliate big and that's going to happen. If an ICBM was launched this is Putin chest beating but it is concerning.

Doesn't matter who they run, if they maintain the progressive woke left agenda they will lose.

Doesn't surprise me at all. It certainly seemed as though she remembered her lines very well indeed. She was also exceptional at changing her accent to suit the situation.

Of course it's not ok. What a stupid thing to say. My post was in relation to the escalating situation. I actually said that the deployment of these weapons will end up with more Ukrainians dying. Do you honestly think I think this is OK and that somehow my post is supporting this inevitable retaliation from Putin? 100,000s of thousands of lives lost for something that could have and should have been stopped before it started. I find what you accuse me of as totally despicable.

It is an escalation. Putin will react to this no doubt about it. How he'll react is not with nukes but IMO massive missile and drone attacks on military, dual use and civilian targets. The guys a madman but not mad enough to deploy a tactical nuke.

Yes he won the Electoral College. He also won the Popular Vote along with the Senate and the House. I'm not sure what you mean by MAJORITY. Without a majority vote in any of these he would not have won them. He got the majority Electoral College votes. He has the majority in the Senate. He has the majority in the house albeit slim and the only way he could have won the Popular Vote which he did was to get a majority of the votes.

You forgot China. Xi is the biggest threat. Putin is also a threat. Nth Korea alone isn't. The Democrats track record on a peaceful world is there for all to see and they've just upped the ante. Trump. Peace through power not peace through war.

Wow! 49.9% opposed to 48.5% isn't a majority. My bad. I thought it's the highest number that wins. Seems I'm mistaken.

I think the Liz Cheney thing they ran with might have been the straw that boke the camels back. Take a 20 sec grab and accuse Trump of wanting to put Cheney in front of a firing squad. MSNBC is finished and the legacy media as whole has been exposed for what it is . A supporter of the left establishment and the progressive left woke agenda and a purveyor of ideology and the narrative and not news. Of course anyone with half a brain capable of the smallest modicum of critical thinking already knew this. It is now evident that even the gullible have woken up to the legacy media and now it would be only the complete and utterly stupid sheeple that cannot see the legacy media for what it is. Ironically I think the ridiculous vitriolic negative nonsense that came out of the legacy media helped Trump in the election. People are sick of it and the negative smearing message pushed 24/7 during the campaign backfired totally.

You did look at the video didn't you? Fairly sure the big bloke would take a kick from the little one (possibly LB just look at those dance moves).
