Putin knows that the minute any type of chemical/nuke weapon is used, it's a world war. As you state, I don't think Putin has that many allies.
Which makes one wonder how many times the Putin mouthpieces are going to threaten the 'need' to use nukes? It gets frustrating to watch actual diplomats across the world resist the temptation to publicly embarrass Putin by calling his bluff. Trolling him, as it were.
He's as dumb as trump. "My button is a lot bigger than Kim Jung Un's"

But we have Joke and he's as likely as not to reply we are at war, being the fucking senile retard he is...

Yea. His book is out. He's not airing any secrets that he hasn't already sold.
Unlike Bolton who refused to testify against trump, saving the juicy stuff for his book.
And also, everyone who isn't running for office needs to get rid of the trump stench. Barr evidently included.
What kind of book? Just an autobiography? He'll make a ton of cash by giving up the goods on Pedo Don and the other criminals he met in the White House.

Yea. They both already have tell alls out. I think Bolton is damning. I seem to remember that Barr defends quite a bit of trump's activity, but he has to. He was the one selling the legality on Fox all day.
Even so, by saying Trump shouldn't be the nominee in 2024 is a significant break from the Pedo Party.
if Russia were to use nuclear weapons, it would probably deliver them through the
Iskander missile system it’s already using with conventional weapons in Ukraine.
"Those are mobile launchers, meaning they're on trucks and they drive around, and so you could potentially see that," she said.
"You would see an increase in the alert levels of the nuclear weapons command in Russia. So you would definitely see movement, signals that Russia is ramping up, increasing its alert levels, moving things around".

* Putin can give the command for tactical nukes- would the command structure pass down the order?

China doesnt show any daylight between itself and Putin
But "nukes" would be such bad publicity for the "ultimate friendship" (China/Russia) it's a show stopper

Everybody has a line. For Barr it was domestic terrorism. Because 'stand back and stand by' wasn't a clue.Even so, by saying Trump shouldn't be the nominee in 2024 is a significant break from the Pedo Party.
Interesting that you admit that China and Putin are closely allied. Kinda puts a new spin in the China virus since Putin never condemned China for COVID unlike the pedo liars in the USA.
All commie cocksuckers flock together, eh? LOL
Dr William, a nucleus weapons expert, says there is a further reason why Russia might not use nuclear weapons - China.
"Russia is heavily dependent on Chinese support, but China has a 'no first use' nuclear doctrine. So if Putin did use them, it would be incredibly difficult for China to stand by him. If he used them, he would probably lose China."

Putin would certainly lose Chinese public support..I think they are now so strategically close (thanks to our pushing Putin into Xi's hands) it wouldn't break any ties though

Well pigs have grown wings. The GOP has proven to be utterly incompetent at both foreign policy an national defense. The two most important jobs of a U.S. President.
One just has to look at recent history how untrustworthy they are.
Richard Nixon’s escalating the Vietnam war and lying to the American public about it, losing the Vietnam War, then leaving our military in a complete disarray.
Then you had Reagan’s illegal exchange of weapons in the Iran Contra affair in which a sitting President directly violated federal law and in the process destabilized relationships with two nations at once.
Then you had the First President Bush who installed a mobster/drug cartel kingpin as head of State of Panama and then had send the US Army into Panama when Noriega’s criminal enterprises went over the top to remove him then installed another American puppet as leader showing Bush had learned absolutely nothing from his previous fuck ups and in the process proving General Fruit and the Canal was far more important to protect than the rights and well being of the Panamanian people.
Then you had one of the most incompetent bunglers in all of American history in “W” with his utterly immoral war in Iraq in which not only did he, like Nixon, lied to the American public, then managed to completely fuck up three wars at the same time. The war on terrorism, the Afghanistan war and the completely unnecessary and immoral war in Iraq. No other sitting US President has demonstrated incompetence in national defense and foreign policy in all of US History. An incompetence that destabilized the Middle East from Afghanistan west through Iran, Iraq and Syria. All to protect US Oil interest in the Middle East that became mooted by the advancement in fracking and horizontal drilling.
Then you had an orange clown who delighted in picking the peanuts out of the shit from two of the worst authoritarian dictators in the world (Putin and Kim Jong-un) while aggressively attempting to end the NATO Alliance, which obviously was an incredibly foolish and inept idea as recent events in the Ukraine have proven.
Instead his supporters proved to be the dumbest segment of the US Electorate by supporting Trumps advocation of the time tested and proven failure of US Isolation which if he Trump had succeeded would have ended America’s greatest historical accomplishment of the last nearly 80 years, The Pax Americana.
So when the GOP pounds their chest and talk like the bad ass arm chair warriors they are and then proceed to fuck up everything in sight you’re just demonstrating you’re incapable of learning and can only fuck things up and make them worse.
Just like in economics when you ignorantly proclaim Democrats blend of Keynesian and Monetarism “Socialism” then advocate support for either Laissez-Faire capitalism and/or Supply-Side economics which, again, are every bit as proven failures as communism.
So when Winston Churchill said the best argument against Democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter he was referring to you red-neck populist and your simple solutions for simple minds.
Hey I despise Nixon, and Bush more then you probably do. I was in the Vietnam anti-war movement. I was only in my teens but I got to a few demonstrations and worked on a Baltimore underground newspaper.
Bush is an "establishmentt" politician who favored illegal immigration just like Biden
He got us into Iraq. Populists despise Bush
Obama bombed Libya and turned it into a terrorist state - still ISIS in the desert and still a civil war
we caused by Qadaffi regime change
all that said have you noticed lil Kim is firing off ICBM's again?
That stopped during Trump .
Trump wasn't an isolationist, and didn't try to break from NATO he wanted them to pay up
He actually became more aggressive and moved troops from Germany to front lines in Poland
If it wasn't for Hillary's Russian collusion hoax Trump would have tried to negotiate with Putin
But he simply could not - because of the lies he was colluding with Putin
Some negotiations over Ukraine might have stopped this war.
Lavrov was asking for them 3 times while Biden and Blinken laughed him off
Now we are in a long term war with Russia over Ukraine?
that's NOT in our national interest- especially with the rise of China
You should look at some of the security pacts Trump signed with countries like Vietnam -
important to curb Chinese hegemony
I wont go into Afghan. Biden manged to completely FUBAR that and got US marines bombed because he didn't evacuate from Bagram
The "populists" like myself opposed Libya and arming the Syrian rebels.
Trump left with no wars starting. Biden gets in and Ukraine blows up

I actually have to give credit to Trump on China on defense but that’s about all I can think of objectively. He sure did fuck up the nuclear disarmament of Iran.
Trumps being a populist demagogue, in particular, his attacks on trusted public institutions who though are anything but perfect I’ve traveled around the world enough just how good and important to our success as a nation they are and understanding the seriously negative consequences are. I was willing to blow Trump off as an electoral oddity we had to endure before he faded into obscurity. It wasn’t until Jan 6, 2021 that I appreciated the serious danger that he and his cult of personality in addition to understanding that populist demagogues have historically been to Republics as all Republics in history were eventually undermined by faction and the rise of a populist Demagogue.
Trump with his lying and building a constituency by making promises he can’t keep and demonizing minorities on top of his attacks on our public institutions and his domination of the GOP by his cult of personality makes him a threat to our form of representative democracy as demonstrated by Trumpster politicians tripping over themselves to kiss his ring.
His supporters don’t want the give and take and compromise for a democratic republic to succeed. What Trump supporters want is authoritarianism which just so happens to be antithetical to the American way of life.
If Citizens United opened the doors to America becoming an Oligarchy Trump tried to cement our nation as one with himself at the top with supporters who are a minority in this nation willing to use violence to achieve Trumps aims.

Succinct.
We in NY knew exactly how dangerous trump was the moment he accidentally won the election.
Most in the nation didn't have the decades of experience with the criminal the way we did.
