The threat of a Ukrainian false flag detonation of a “dirty bomb” in or near the southern port city of Nikolaev is very real, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. Specifically, Minister Shoigu stated that the UK—currently reeling from one government to the next, most recently to the Raj’s Revenge—is assisting Ukraine in this scheme:
Ben Wallace was quoted as saying it was absurd to suggest Ukraine would set off a dirty bomb and that Russia should not use such an excuse to escalate the war.
I could be way off but my interpretation is he was speaking 'politicese' - I read it to mean Russia has called them out and this is their way of sending the message to Russia that Ukr won't do the bomb thing but said in such a way that they don't lose face. Language within language.
Makes sense. Because, if such an event occurred, exactly what would be the West's response? Launch a full out nuclear strike? The West doesn't have the conventional capability to intervene with a true hope of winning, so what are their options? More sanctions?
An event of that sort might also launch a vast wave of Ukrainians fleeing their country and heading West. Anyone who thinks the millions who are already refugees is a problem hasn't imagined what could happen. In fact, the infrastructure destruction campaign could have something like that effect. If you don't have electricity or running water, what's to keep you from heading West to Poland? Where there are already, what, 5 million Ukrainians?
MIA! Just 3 of 30 Nato member country foreign ministries signing on to this pathetically weak declaration…didn’t we win the Cold War over 30 years ago, wasn’t the EU created to further peace and prosperity in Europe? All for nought it seems.
“US. policymakers, when it comes to Russia, are an ignorant lot with little appreciation for history. They are blinded by ideology and tend to view present day Russia through the expired constructs of the Cold War. Putin and Russia are inept. They are bumbling. They are backward. Etc.,etc. etc.”
In my estimation, the Biden government is on a short timeline if it is to implement such a false flag event in coordination with the UK and FR. It must be before the U.S. mid-term election for any possible advantage for Biden, and anything to take the economy off the front page in the UK. However, I doubt the response of Americans will be what they expect it to be even with the unquestioning hard sell from the corporate media that can be counted upon. Biden as a wartime leader just doesn't compute for anyone who has been observing the rapidly increasing downward spiral of his mental faculties. And his subordinates (Milley, Blinken, Garland, SecDef) are unworthy of any trust.
The U.S., UK, and FR are the three nuclear capable countries in NATO. Russia using a 'dirty bomb' would make little sense in pursuing a conventional campaign, even with the more limited dispersal of radiological material. There could be no logical reason for Russia to employ such a device except as a terror weapon - but at what cost diplomatically. Now, if the 'dirty bomb' was detonated in Kiev or wherever Ukrainian leadership is physically located and could be neutralized, then that could possibly be more of an indication of Russian involvement - but that won't happen as these NATO powers want Zelinsky to remain in power.
I was chatting with a friend at the gym today and remarked that this current period - from late October 2022 to Jan 20 2023 - may be the most dangerous of all time. If the incoming congress and senate are of the same flavor... then we are almost surely going to wind up in a nuclear war
Just look at Stoltenberg's CV... The usual suspects.

Again, yes, this could be Russia saying: Don't even think about that.
Oh without a doubt.

Caught in a mental deep-freeze, per L Johnson:

Well said.

That's my tendency, too. Did you see that Zhou claimed to have won a vote on the Student Loan scam? First Exec Order to have a vote! Yikes!
