Some US experts had predicted Wagner head's mutiny would lead to Putin's imminent overthrow describing the armed rebellion as a new Russian civil war only to see it fizzle out quickly
"Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Richard Bloomethal (D- ) are co-sponsoring a resolution in Congress which would call on the President to invoke Article V in the event of any Russian nuclear detonation in or over Ukraine. "
Fantastic article! (This is why I subscribe) This destroys my theory that it was all a ruse to get Wagner stationed into Belarus along with some tactical nukes. I can't believe anybody thought this was a legitimate coup attempt. I assume the Russian air force could have wiped out that entire "protest" march before lunchtime.
Blumenthal and Graham like to talk tough. I grew up during the Cold War. I have never felt so close to nuclear weapon use as I am right now. Once the first tactical nuke is used and that supposedly uncross-able line is crossed, subsequent nukes won't be a big deal. Then they will be used more routinely as just another big bomb in the arsenal. But you never know if it will escalate into a full on strategic nuclear response.
And/or the ever present EMP threat. I am suspicious of those two North Korean satellites in polar orbit that don't seem to have any legit use. What would our response be? Nuke NK? and have a fallout cloud go over Seoul 120 miles away, then over Japan? It's scary that we could be decapitated with a single weapon by any number of states and rouge actors. The irony of a "non-lethal" weapon that would kill 90% of the US population in the first year. *shudder*
I am working on posting a new article about former DIA analyst and Russia expert Rebekah Koffler's theory that it was all a ruse to get Wagner stationed in Belarus to get them to launch a "rogue" Russian tactical nuke at NATO. Really hoping you and she are wrong as I have a planned family cruise later next month. Yes, the Russian military could have wiped out the 8,000 "invading" Wagner troops quite easily. If NK detonated a couple super EMP satellites over the US with zero warning, we wouldn't even know who attacked us or who to retaliate against. I don't think that the use of one tactical nuke by Russia would start a nuclear exchange with the US unless of course that nuke was used to assassinate Biden and other NATO leaders at the Vilnius summit.
Great comments on here today! Love Gary Larson. I'm sure we could find the right size for Graham.
And as usual, we know we can always rely on David Pyne to help weed out the B.S.
Looks like the war hawks are busy as usual trying not to let any good crises go to waste.
Sadly, many more Ukrainians and others will sacrifice their lives for pointlessness. Russia will close in the walls and end this conflict. It's just a matter of time.
Praying for Common Sense to kick in here already.
In the meantime, media pundits on mainstream news, will continue to seek out higher ratings, failing to call this what it is. Complete B.S.

Excellent. Send those two to the very front. Maybe dress them as in this pix from Gary Larson's The Far Side https://ifunny.co/picture/hat-did-i-say-boris-these-new-uniforms-are-a-OVH3hsySA I have actually shaken hands with a guy who shook the hand of Larson's old girlfriend, BTW!!

Yeah the BS is strong with Deep State pundits with regards to Russia and the war in Ukraine lol.
Small error: Shoigu is correct spelling. Just delete comment when corrected. Of course, I am the KING of typos, so no worries!
