On Sunday, Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) announced a new Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). If passed, the AUMF will allow President Joe Biden to deploy American troops to defend Ukraine if Russia uses chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons.
The Congressman issued a press release saying the legislation would establish important redlines and echoed Biden’s plea that "Putin must be stopped."
"I’m introducing this AUMF as a clear redline so the Administration can take appropriate action should Russia use chemical, biological, and/or nuclear weapons. We must stand up for humanity and we must stand with our allies.
"As the President of the United States has said, Putin must be stopped. Accordingly, the Commander in Chief to the world’s greatest military should have the authority and means to take the necessary actions to do so."
The bill titled "To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces to defend the territorial integrity of United States allies," allows the President to determine if Russia has used WMDs. The AUMF terminates once the "President certifies to Congress that the territorial integrity of Ukraine has been restored."
Similar to the 2002 AUMF, the legislation gives the President nearly a blank check to wage war. The bill does not include oversight on the determination of WMD use or sunset date.
Kinzinger announced the bill on Meet the Press, telling host Margret Brennan, "I don’t think we need to be using force in Ukraine right now. I just introduced an AUMF giving the president basically congressional leverage for permission to use it if WMDs, nuclear, biological or chemical are used in Ukraine."
In a speech just days before voting for the 2002 AUMF, then-Senator Joe Biden likewise downplayed the risk President George W. Bush would use the authority to go to war in Iraq. "I will vote for this because we should be compelling Iraq to make good on its obligations to the United Nations…Approving this resolution does not mean that military action is imminent or unavoidable."
Kyle Anzalone is the opinion editor of Antiwar.com, news editor of the Libertarian Institute, and co-host of Conflicts of Interest.
We’ve seen what these AUMF resolutions lead to. This gets more ugly by the day.
This one seems more tightly defined than the previous blank check. I think it is a good and honest move. This is how a democracy should work.
Hey, did You See Pelosi with Puppy-Prez Zelenski? See howche rolled over for her and laid on his back and wagged his tail?
She said that we are defending Democracy there.
I disagree. We are defending an offshore tax haven that thinks it has a solution that defeats Gog/ Magog through military force.
Talk about being Deluded.
So far as I can see we are defending a top tier Amway cheerleader in Mariupal who was on a Starlink uplink on LDS/ PBS’s Amanpour.
Who in the world is making the interview appointments?
One woman was pitching a Living in the Last days idiots guide.
These freaks believe they will survive the unsurvivable.
Democracy is Mob rule sonny, too bad your homeschooling was so very wrong!
That woman will surely kick Putin where it hurts, haha.
More support for Ukraine!
Hey Sebastian, does Trump know you threw him under the bus?
Didn’t take long for a couple of charlatan so-called charitable organizations to hit the airwaves, asking for money to feed people of a certain religion in Ukraine.
two brands, two venns working like a house divided:
Baptist Freemasonry
Lds Snakeoil
Both with Temple building Eschatologies.
Only one can sit when the music stops and that is why another coup here has legs.
HAHAHAHA…More support for silly and pointless US bravado. Come on..come to Russia and get your lessons…Ukraine is done…pass the popcorn!
I have no desire to visit that godforsaken country, good to know where you reside though.
Not that I ever had any doubt.
Gog/Magog puts you firmly in deeply nuts territory.
Pat Robertson has been selling that snakeoil in Ukraine sonny, not I.
He is so fervent of the situations and scripture that he stayed in JRS while his wife was dying here.
He didn’t even show up for the funeral.
He stated to Ukraine and to his wicked flock that Russia was Gog.
Further Robertson said that God had told Pat that He, God had put hooks Russia to attack Ukraine, a perversion of prophecy in Ezekiel ch 38.
That you are ignorant of these strongest of undercurrents of geo-political influence is not surprising, but that you promote them as irrelevant or as unhinged beliefs tells me you will likely perish in your arrogant hatred for God’s Word.
Real religion has been selling this war for centuries sonny, at least try to follow along even if you reject it all. Our Leadership does not reject it, what you see emerging are flaky news prophecy from the 700 flub: WMD’s, Tactical Nukes, Bioweapons All pre news from CBN that never tracked reality.
Robertson has had a tax haven there for 30+ years and he was involved in Politics that set Nazis in power in Ukraine.
What Pat Robertson says or believes is utterly unconvincing to me. Deeply deeply nuts now you guys have a modern day Rasputin in the Patriarch it would seem.
A democracy should work by threatening to attack other countries that haven’t attacked the U.S.? Attack a country that saved pro-democracy Donbass from being invaded by the coup regime in Kiev? Attack a country that stopped the Azov Battalion’s shelling of Donbass, 20 times a day for seven years, killing thousands and driving hundreds of thousands from their homes? “This is how a democracy should work”?
The use of military force is one of the most serious decisions a country can make. If possible it should be done with plenty of deliberation and debate, you know in a democratic way.
The schisms between politicians and generals sez that the generals know better how to go about war and politicians just get in the way of Absolute War and firm absolute lasting victory.
Russia needs to be Autocratic because of our continual threats. It was and is a designed conflict of US & GB Industrialists who have unhinged religious beliefs they want to feature in.
The Merogovian bankers have a strong belief in this prophecy of a big holy war. Many want to take the bull by the horns and help the outcome, especially if their survivalist eschatology writes them into the Hero’s role: the Righteous Warriors of God.
Talk about strong delusions!
here’s one: Our RR believe the bomb was given by God to them to steward and defend Jerusalem with and it is unacceptable for the wrong people to have them.
Our RR worships a gawd of forces and that gawd is on their side to deploy nukes with.
That war is not a politicians war, it’s a holy war and Pat Robertson os their false prophet. His role is to advise and influence whatever you want to call is assembling in Poland and Germany to defend JRS with.
It’s Gog and Magog. Nato is huge militarily and as Gog it will pivot South, not east or west or north.
this is no drill.
It is a new @ the Red Sea moment to savor.
Dua-Kheti:
I think you should start your own antiwar column… You are vibrantly expressive… I would read you!
I wish I knew what you were talking about…….:(
Yes, with debate and not one man deciding.
unless that man is The Deciderer
You actually think our Congress would go against the Intelligence Community, as Sen Schumer warned Trump about?
Probably not, but they should have the chance. The Iraq “intelligence” was clearly BS but almost everybody decided to believe it anyway.
The power of propaganda. Just like polls now show the American public doesn’t like China as much as they formerly did. They’ll keep up the war propaganda as long as the American people keep lapping the tall tales up as if they are undisputable facts. They probably still study Dr. Goebbels speeches/presentations on Radio Berlin to convince the Germans their cause was just, truthful and correct.
Stop the BS, the russian separatists have killed more Ukranians than anybody else. Your boy putin wants the land for profit and control. Those port cities generate billions annually in import /export. The Neo nazi Azov is just an excuse. They have conveniently placed 900 strong Azov battalion along the coast from Donbass to Moldova. How interesting.
So let the USA keep it’s already war weary nose OUT OF IT! Fu#k both Ukraine and Russia.
Russia will keep them out, because they are smarter and will destroy any chance of either terrorist entity getting a foothold in Ukraine.
Cannot argue with you. You are a delusional Putin lover
eff your future yourself sonny
Off yourself honey. 🙂
Please stop with the Azov/US/NATO talking points. You have no proof of any Russian war crimes from any viable source. All ever do is repeat the word of mass killers who have slaughtered 14000 in the Donbass. Where are your tears for them???
“You have no proof of any Russian war crimes from any viable source. All ever do is repeat the word of people I can’t prove slaughtered 14000 in the Donbas.”
Fixed, no charge.
As of December of last year, the UN Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner estimated total known civilian casualties in the Donbas at 3,404. The rest were Ukrainian regime armed forces (4,400) and members of the separatist forces (6,500). And there doesn’t seem to be any particular reason to believe that one of those military groupings was more responsible than the other for the civilian casualties.
Personally, I support independence for the Donbas separatists, because I support freedom to secede in general.
On the other hand, it’s not necessarily obvious that the separatists would have been all sweetness and light to civilians who didn’t support secession even if the the Ukrainian regime had kept its hands off the situation.
Fixed no charge?? The Russians have no desire to kill Ukrainians,,if they did, they would have run over Ukraine within a week. There have been eyewitness accounts of extremists such as the Azov who are killing Ukrainian civilians in droves. I believe the separatists are on the right side of this conflict while Zelensky and whoever is controlling him will do anything for attention.
John, got your fatigues ready? Or aren’t you willing to put your money where your mouth is?
Money yes, my son no
Sick MOFU!
You probably approved of the last one too. This is another reckless move by DC psychopaths.
Actually no, I stand in awe of Barbara Lee. She called it 20 years ago exactly.
Got it. Now you’re pro war. Curious.. If you could be honest. Did you or you, do you believe, that Russia was a factor in the defeat of the Democrats party in the 2016 US election? Emphasis on did you believe that?
Not really, as Kelly Ann said, it wasn’t the Russians that told Clinton not to campaign in Wisconsin. Still it seemed you couldn’t swing a cat in Trump tower without hitting a Russian for whatever reason.
Got it. Pretty clear what you are.
Don’t tell me U believe that!!
Of course I don’t believe Russia had any effect on any election in the USA. Russia, Russia, Russia was a hoax. It could be argued that this, and other actions by by the deep state, were an ongoing coup.
And no. I don’t believe much of what John claims.
“This is how a democracy should work” if you want to start WWIII ….!!!!!!!!!!
‘”
Because we dont want WW3, we will let Putin does whatever he wants. I get you now.
Maybe something like that, no WW-3!
Not at all – it was the nations of the world letting a succession of US Administrations, beginning with Father Time (ex-CIA Dir) Bush, commit war crimes/aggressions whenever they felt like it. And then with an in-the-pocket warmongering supporting media, convinced the dimwits, that we should invade or bomb nations at will.
change want to deserves and you will have it…
Our congress is suppose to decide on war. That’s how our democracy works. Not having some senile fool making the decision on his own.
Exactly and this is a solid move back in that direction. Something we haven’t seen in years.
How so? Congress is still passing on their responsibilities to one man. “Tightening up” isn’t the answer. There should be no such thing as an AUMF.
“Similar to the 2002 AUMF, the legislation gives the President nearly a blank check to wage war. The bill does not include oversight on the determination of WMD use or sunset date.”
U kidding?? WTF!
An additional 6 Kiev Military commanders indicted for war crimes. These commanders came from the
24.Mechanized Brigade, 56.Motorized Infantry Brigade, 25. Parachute (Airborne?) Brigade
Ah, you mean Russian military leaders.
But surely there are more than 6 senior officers that have been indicted?
Aw, little don bacon just has to pipe in with another factless angry comment. Cute! I worry for your mental health, though. If you have any left.
You do know that Sebastian was once considered an expert on the region and he was a military strategist, in a beige teddy and womans underwear.
Because you disagree with him, that makes him mentally ill?
Maybe he’s just senile like Bye-Done.
Both of you
BUSH KILLS A MILLION BASSED ON LIES, BUT NO INDICTMENT, LOOKS LIKE ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG & GET INDICTED…!!!!!!!
Bushy Boi’ is a war criminal MOFU POS!!!! Sicko too. 🙂
Russia’s Victory Parade to take a hit after dramatic military losses in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine has weakened the Russian military so dramatically that fewer soldiers and armoured vehicles will partake in the country’s Victory Parade in Moscow on May 9.
There will be fewer tanks and self-propelled artillery vehicles taking part in the parade, which commemorates the Soviet Union’s defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War.
The equipment that will be absent includes T-80BVM tanks, Solntsepek flamethrower systems and Pantsir-S anti-aircraft systems, according to information published by the Russian defence ministry. There will be around 130 military vehicles taking part in the parade, compared with 191 last year.
My bet is that there won’t even be a parade in 2023…
Um, why wouldn’t there be fewer participants in the parade? And you present this as “ha ha, Russia losing!” Nice try, little neocon lover. Meanwhile your beloved Zelensky regime hasn’t been able to push back against the defenders of Donbass on a single front. You drool over “Russia is leaving Kiev!” when Russia’s forces there were never large enough to take Kiev, they didn’t try, as the battle is about liberating and defending Donbass, which they have. Sorry neocon lover, the sea city Mariupol belongs to Donbass again. The land corridor to Crimea will happen.
By the way, funny how you just post your propaganda randomly where it has nothing to do with the article. Try to keep it together. Take a deep breath. You can post relevant comments, if you just start to think instead of copy-pasting Bill Kristol. I know you can do it.
I don’t think he’s capable, which is why I blocked him. He’s a waste of valuable space.
He told me he is very sad you blocked him.
Oh, and I am deeply depressed about blocking him.
So Russian, knowing they couldn’t take Kyiv, still sends thousands of young soldiers to their death and now doing the same in Donbass. You are the one drooling over Russia success in stealing land from Ukranians.
I’ll bet there is no one like you around to mark time either.
A ground war that you freaks want is your new manless Drone war with FLIR equipped drones that hunt integrated with 5g Satellite links to live time back to HQ.
Our pilot study has 700 kamikaze drones and they can uplink direct to either a local networked Patroller drone or a satellite or both. With those 700 drones, we expect to turn the tides of war themselves.
All we need to send are drones and car batteries with a solar panel to keep them topped off.
One technician with a smart phone is all the man power we need to send.
Any more is an unnecessary slaughter.
Our new tactic is using Spaz Farce technicians and drones, talk about a ground war is a chumming tactic.
Very transparent too.
Even assuming Russia doesn’t have a 2023 Victory Day Parade, they’ll still have one. Why? Because I have a copy of the Victory Banner, and I don’t forget the debt we owe to the Soviet Union for their sacrifices in WW2. A parade- even of only one- is still a parade.
Amerikkka still cannot admit that it was the Russians who defeated Hitler, not themselves.
28 million Russians died in WWII and they are in self- preservation mode.
Yes, 28 million Russians died after Stalin allied with Hitler to invade Poland and then Hitler turned on him. The US didn’t precisely save Stalin’s bacon (the Russians had turned Hitler’s forces back from Moscow before the first Lend-Lease shipment arrived), but US involvement probably changed the equation from an exhausted Soviet Union pushing Hitler back to the Russo-Polish border in a ten-year war versus a highly subsidized Soviet Union seizing eastern Europe in four years and running it for half a century.
So true Thomas. 🙂
“after Stalin allied with Hitler to invade Poland”
Let’s not forget helping to militarize Germany in violation of the Versailles Treaty for the previous 20 years:
https://warontherocks.com/2016/06/sowing-the-wind-the-first-soviet-german-military-pact-and-the-origins-of-world-war-ii/
https://us.yahoo.com/news/russian-troops-stole-5m-worth-054540072.html
The Chechens offered to help with the parade if they can get someone to help them start the 5M worth of John Deere trucks they stole from a Ukrainian dealership.
That Russian army is filled with looters.
That is war Buddy! Trump and Bushy Boi’ wanted to empty Syria and Iraq of their oil during and after those wars. During the Civil war in the USA there was heavy looting on both sides, best to just not go to war in the first place,,dunp the DC Ghouls!
Hehe, that’s true. They steal everything that isn’t bolted to the ground.
Teach them to f*ck with the Chechens, the most badass fighting force on earth.
You mean the same Chechen guys that have been staging attacks, shooting at nothing in Ukraine for popularity? Oh yeah, they are super badass.
Another way to say Might Makes Right. We can do whatever we want because you can’t stop us.
How about other countries arming Afghans and Iraqis against Washington’s invaders? Suddenly that would be bad.
And the old WMDs will give us the excuse! again. Against Iraq, against Syria, against Iran, and of course now against Russia. Maybe someone should set off bombs in Washington to retaliate against its deliberate mass killings of Afghan villagers – without WMDs.
I’m all for that.
First one out: that scrawny old hag with implants Pelosi.
Thanks for making me laugh! 🙂
Any time, Donna! You KNOW she has implants because no woman that scrawny has natural breasts that large! 😆
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😄
Hey Donna, maybe they’ll explode 😉
Putin clearly told outsiders to mind their own business when his forces invaded Ukraine in response to their crimes against the loyalists to Russia citizens, and he promised retaliation against interference by other bullying countries. Assuming that neither side of this threesome/foursome orgy escalates this to a nuclear war: How loudly will the U.S. government cry foul when Russia pours weaponry to the oppositions side during the next U.S. instigated war on a weaker country? We already know the answer to that question.
If this passes you can be 100% sure that Ukraine will launch a chemical attack and blame Russia.
Remember when we first sent anti tank stuff to the Azov goons and they blew up a military vehicle there to try one out for kicks, then blamed it on Russia?
And people wonder why Nazis have a bad name there?
The FIRST thing they did was use a USA destructive arms conveyance on their own equipment and then got the media to sell the remaining sizzle.
Russia said it did not shoot down that airliner heading to Malaysia.
I believe them 100%.
It was Ukrainians trying to escalate conflicts into a global theater with allies against Russia.
You believe the communists. Lol.
The separatist had just shot down a Ukraine Cargo plane just days before from same location. They Took credit and bragged about it. Then when the idiots tried again they hit the wrong plane. There is plenty of evidence it was done by the Russian separatist. But why take responsibility when it’s easier to blame Azov. 🤷🏽♂️
“”You believe the communists. Lol.””
right then. 2 years ago everybody on the planet (especially the democrats) other than the trump and his believers, were the communists. suddenly according to you russia are the communists again?
Great CNN talking points…What was that Ukraine cargo plane full of?? Weapons maybe…Azov are cold blooded killers who murder for sport..woman children…you really shouldn’t support such scum…that is unless …
This gamemanship needs to be watched. It’s Senator’s position that has needs to be watched more carefully. This is Russia, not Iraq or Libya. The fool seems like a character out of Stanley Kubrik’s Dr Strangelove.
Oh man. He seems a bit unstable to me.
Don’t worry about that, Comrade.
The Ukranians are about to go on the offensive, no need for them to use anything else than convential weapons.
Russia on the other hand who soon will be forced to retreat, will have all the reasons in the world to use chemical or nuclear weapons…
LOL love your satire!!!Russia is way too smart for NATO, and the US. These two never win at anything, especially war’s. If the US comes in Russia will send the Yanks home in body bags by the dozens. They do not need any unconventional weapons..they are wise while the US is just outplayed at all times…
Just remember the debacle at Kyiv, Russian forces fighting for weeks to encircle the city.
They ended up running for their lives towards the Belarusian border, haha.
Yes and until recently the Uki RailR was a humanitarian highway and Russia did not attack it until Ukrainians used it to convey troops and weapons east.
Ukraine knew the RR would be targeted. You see humanitarian provisions as failure and weakness of Russia who never really fit the expected role of Blitz to kill Zelenski puppet.
He’s still alive to negotiate his surrender.
That’s not Russian weakness sonny, it’s professional courtesy.
They won’t have to, the Russian war criminals will do it and blame the Ukrainias as usual.
Russian war criminals..according to whom?? The False Flagging Azov germs? Zelensky…save it..only the mainstream media crowd are drinking that koolaid…
Kinzinger is a low-life weasel just trying to salvage some crumbs for his “legacy.” Look out for false flags — the WMD scam has been used before, but these neocons have no imagination so they’ll just keep using it.
I understand NATO’s strategy is to prolong the war? Pump weapons and money into the proxy war against Russia. This is extremely callous and completely immoral. According to the Hague its the Supreme International Crime, the crime of aggression.
this war
is Franchised!
where’s the merch!
this war
is Franchised!
where’s the merch!
I think everyone knew THIS was coming…🙄
I know nothing about the Congress Snake. But I’m will to bet he’s a War Mongering Neocon.
I think you won that bet, Ron.
Is Congressman Adam Kinzinger stating that he is OK on declaring war on Russia? Is that really what he wants? I know congress is a total circus but this clown really is exceptional.
Yes. He was pushing for a no-fly zone too.
Extinction of Humans on Earth bill. What moron thought this was a good idea?
Give an angry old man with dementia like Joe Biden another excuse to start placing Americans in harms way.
Right on that!
He isn’t making any decisions at all; he’s just a figurehead and an extremely mentally impaired one at that.
Adam is such a loser
Someone smack the shit out of this dumbshit with an aluminum baseball bat.
I think an ash bat might be more effective..they splinter, you know 😉
I’m just curious how deep is Kinzinger‘s bunker that he thinks he can outlast a nuclear fallout?
Well if the bill passes, it will make it much easier to start a war with Russia as we know how easy it is for the U.S. to claim WMD without any evidence or proof. Worse part is, they are going to give that kind of power to a guy who can barely remember how to dress himself in the morning. These damn idiot politicians are doing everything they can to get us into WW3. As Gerald Celente has said, “when all else fails, they take you to war”.
Well said! 🙂
A False Flag will be concocted to provide the Authority to create the Justification to wage the War, but there won’t be any proof provided. The Pentagon won’t fall for it and they will decline.
Are we describing the same Pentagon that claimed Saddam Hussein had WMD’s?
That very same Pentagon?
Evil, old men in charge of our future – what could possibly go wrong?
In my 70 plus years on this planet it has never been more DANGEROUS , it is a mathmatical certainty that the USA will bring about WW3 either sooner or later .
should Russia use chemical, biological, and/or nuclear weapons
File under Self Fulfilling Prophecies.
Whether it’s a brain dead Biden or Pelosi, an incompetent Harris or a Republican Congress person it’s all the same, chimps with machine guns!
Thanks Vlad, that gave me a marvelous chuckle!
Stunning stupidity on display to allow any POTUS, let alone JoBye, this insane authority. If Congress wants war with Russia follow the constitution and vote directly for or against it. I implore Kinzinger to suit up and join the Ukraine forces in combat!
That’d be one way to get rid of him!
Kinzinger is no Republican. Every politician from Illinois has been corrupt since the days of Al Capone.
Republicans aren’t corrupt????
In some ways, Al may have been more honorable. At least in some ways, he didn’t pretend cleanliness.
Well, there is that big IF again…! They have to wait forever for this to happen…! The bill will expire sooner than the action…! Russia’s experience with White Helmets in Syria is to eliminate the false flags before it happens…!
If this insane bill is passed, the Ukies will stage a false flag faster than you can say Jack Robinson.
ZelBoy’s wet dream is to have Amerikkkan troops intervene.
Pentagon Says Russians Have Low Morale, Flawed Logistics
Russia’s progress in the Donbas region has been minimal at best, a U.S. defense official told reporters, saying that Putin’s troops continue to suffer from low morale, imperfect logistics and aversion to casualties.
The official also said that Russian forces have been pushed 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of Kharkiv.
Separately, former CIA Director David Petraeus said Russia is being hampered in its efforts by shortfalls in equipment and personnel, with no quick solution as the war drags on. That means there is now a re-assessment over whether Ukraine should fight to take back everything its lost to the Russians since the start of the war, the retired general said in an interview with David Westin on Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power.”
Ironic that Trump & Merkel, who hated each other, would be > than Biden & Scholz on diplomacy to end the war.
The comedy at the peril of the US never ceases to end with these one dimensional “loser” politicians begging Russia for a beatdown..and it will be. Russia has watched for years as the US is always handed its butt in every recent conflict…”that it instigated” The US military is not equipped mentally to deal with Russia, and deserve what’s coming if they act with their usual silly bravado.
I’m curious as to why the recent Ukrainian attack on the Russian outpost in Izyum (which killed the senior Russian general Simonov) is not being covered on Antiwar.
A quick MSM search says that “Ukraine says” that happened. Are you aware of any good/reliable source on it? I don’t write our news stories, but am interested as well. It may just not have set off any of our writers’ spidey-senses yet.
The Russian Defense Ministry stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces deployed artillery near Tsupovka in the Kharkiv Region to shell civilians evacuating via a humanitarian corridor from Kharkiv to the west.
So far, the situation in the Kharkiv region remains stable. No strategic advances by any of the warring sides have been confirmed. The Russian grouping in the region is not aimed at taking control of the city of Kharkiv, but at the distraction of Ukrainian forces from the Izyum area, where the Russian offence continues.
On the Izyum front lines, the Russian Army is advancing slowly but steadily. To the west of Izyum there are battles for Bolshaya Kamyshevaha. To the south, fighting continues in Kurulka and Pashkovo. Fighting continues in the area north of the Barvenkovo-Slaviansk highway. The village of Dovghenkoe came under the Russian control.
One of the hotspots in the region is the area near the Oskol reservoir, where about a thousand AFU soldiers fell into operational encirclement and are deprived of supplies.
Fighting also continues in the area of Yampol and Krasny Liman. Having completed the mop up operations in Yampol, Russian and LPR troops have reached the outskirts of Liman from the southeast. Fire control over the Liman-Raygorodok road has been established.
The Russian troops are aimed to create an operational encirclement of the towns of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk the main hotspot of the war in the Donbass region since 2014.
Thats right this war didn’t start on 24th February 2022. Moscow continues to bleed out NATO weapons troops and money.
RINOs all seem to be neocon warmongers, joining the historical liberal interventionists of the other head of the two party monopoly.
Insanity!
Call it what it is: The nuclear Armageddon enablement bill.
Where will Kissinger be when the nukes start flying? Dep in his bunker or flying high on Air Force 1?
He will be spending his Schroedinger’s Euro’s – 10 EU countries are already paying, but not specifying which of course. That would require an observation for the EU wavefunction to collapse to an actual probability!
Germany continues its planned deliveries of military equipment to Ukraine Nazi’s. Poland has already transferred about 200 T-72 tanks, dozens of howitzers, drones, rockets, and grenade launchers to Ukraine. Warsaw lost half of its tank arsenal in favor of Kyiv, as the country reportedly had about 400 such vehicles. Warsaw has already transferred arms worth $7 billion to Ukraine, including self-propelled howitzers, grenade launchers, air-to-air missiles, drones, and ammunition.
As in WW2 again we see Poland and Germany starting a world war with American backing. Again we see Nazism bringing war to Europe. Did we learn nothing?
Today is the anniversary of the tragedy in the city of Odessa. On May 2, 2014, people defending their right to speak Russian gathered near the Trade Union building in Odessa.
At that time, a large number of neo-Nazis from the Western and Central regions of Ukraine arrived in Odessa to prevent pro-Russian demonstrations in the Russian-speaking city. Ukrainian Nazis attacked peaceful protesters.
None of the victims had weapons. The Nazi crowd armed with Molotov cocktails, firearms, and cold weapons, spurred on by their leaders, took the building into a tight ring and set it on fire.
People who attempted to escape, jumped out of windows or ran out of the building, were beaten to death or shot.
Then the Ukrainian Nazis broke into the building and tortured the survivors. On this day, 48 civilians were killed by the Nazis, including 7 women one of whom was pregnant. A total of 220 people turned to hospitals that day for help.
“Progressive Western society” shrug the tragedy in Odessa off. The names of many Ukrainian nazis involved in this tragedy are widely known. They openly boasted of the crimes they had committed, and in the most brutal details. So far, none of them have been detained or convicted by the Ukrainian authorities. Some of them are currently in the Rada.
The Odessa tragedy more than any other action is what guaranteed that a civil war broke out in the east. Immediately Crimea held a plebiscite and seceded from Ukraine and eventually were annexed by Russia.
Idiots. First, it leaves it up to the Deep State to manufacture a casus belli, second, the US can’t do anything to Russia with US forces in Europe in any case, and third, Russia will not allow any reinforcement of those forces or of NATO in the event of hostilities. These morons are going to get us nuked.
If Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine would there need for troops since there will be no one and nothing left to defend?
That’s about the last thing we need. No kind of war is what is needed!
