America will retaliate with 'a devastating strike' against Russia's military if Vladimir Putin uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the United States Army's former European commander has warned.
Retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges today said any response by America 'may not be nuclear' but warned that if Putin were to use nukes in Ukraine that the US could look to 'destroy the Black Sea Fleet or destroy Russian bases in Crimea'.
His comments come after the Russian premier sent shockwaves around the world, as he announced the 'partial mobilization' of his reserve military forces to continue his murderous invasion of Ukraine.

I remember when Trump was our President how the press and the left screamed about how Trump was going to get us into WWIII when he stood up to Putin. Sure looks to me like Bidet is getting us closer to WWIII than Trump ever did. Why are the left so silent now? Hypocrits. Slimy filthy hypocrits.

Senile Joe bidet's unelected communist puppet masters are itching to get us in a war. That is all this is about. War is extremely profitable. Who cares if a few thousand American servicemen have to die as long as bidet's puppet masters get richer and more powerful!!!

He's really poking the tiger in the eye. He has no idea what he is doing. Shame on you, Jill, for letting him be the puppet of Soros, obama and other evil people.

As another L-Dotter has said, we should be afraid that Biden confuses the Call Nurse button with the Launch Missiles button.

On Sunday, Biden stated that he would send US troops to defend Taiwan if China invades. Today, Biden threatens an act of war against Russia by sinking Putin’s Black Sea fleet. Where does Biden get such war powers when the US does not have treaty obligations to protect Tainted and Ukraine, let alone act in self defense? I don’t recall anything in the Constitution that authorizes the President to go to war whenever he pleases. Can someone explain?

Why is the Ukraine important to The First Vegetable? It is a major source of income to The Bidet Crime Syndicate. I don't want one cent spent on any country other than the United States. We have plenty of problems of our own. We don't need to pick fights elsewhere. As that Bad Orange Man said: America First.

Has Congress approved this action? If not, then the President has no authority to perform such action. EOs are not valid in time of war.

Biden and the Democrats want war. They can use a war to their advantage to bring us into the New Deal. They want to get rid of the dollar and go to a crypto currency that THEY CONTROL. The people should go to a crypto currency that WE control. So it's OK to get into gold and crypto that's not controlled by the Government. Leave the Government out of our currency and we'll be OK.

I was a conscript in the 1960 for some crappy politicians and a car salesman named McNamara. I thought I was doing it for our country I don't think like that anymore. Today I wouldn't want any of my sons or grandsons fighting for a retarded, low IQ fraud president, bloated woke generals and misfits in charge. Dying in some far away land for nothing is not an option in these dark times. Retired military brass wanting war from his living room chair is wrong headed. FJB and the Ukraine.

Biden and most leftists are simply whistling past the graveyard. WWIII brought to you by the Biden admin. This is madness. This is what happens when you have a faux President and the people that are actually making decisions affecting us all are working in the shadows completely hidden from the people. These hidden cretins absolutely hate the American people. Got it? They hate us. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The "former" commander has no standing to respond to a leader of a foreign country, and never did have any such standing, as the former commander should be reminded that U.S. forces are under civilian control. I hope we are not going to have nutcases in the Biden administration getting us into a nuclear conflict. The Biden administration has a 100% failure rate at decision making.

The warmongers in and around the administration want something, anything to ameliorate the Democrat losses coming up in November, and will risk a geostrategic miscalculation by Putin, never mind that Russia still has the largest nuclear arsenal on earth. Tsar bomba? This illegitimate administration, clueless about our enemies and the nature of evil (unless they are literally quislings), might get us killed.

Does Putin know the prevailing winds are East to West (towards Russia), right?
Wonder what Xi told him during their visit.

Russia and China only have a couple of more years to make their move. Biden WILL NOT respond militarily to any aggression from either Russia or China and they know it. They own him mind, body and soul. Russia and China know full well once Trump retakes the White House, their days of unrestrained military action is over. Watch Russia and/or China engage in some rather news worthy actions prior to 2024.

Memo to Vlad: Dudeski, hope you didn't mean it, but if you really are going to use nukes, please do us all a favor and hit DC, the NY Times, and if you have any left over, Governor HairGel's place.

Sure Daily Mail, sure. Biden left soldiers to die in Afghanistan, left billions in munitions when we left. Are we really supposed to believe that the WH will do anything? Anything that is smart that is. The left has never forgiven Russia for abandoning communism, that is why they want Russia punished. Russia destroyed their utopia and that cannot be allowed to stand unavenged.

Putin probably wasn't going to use them, but this is some extra deterrent.

You would all do well to remember that the people who actually pull our 'elected' ruler's strings... The puppet masters, almost all want to reduce the world's population to 500,000 people.
Since the bioweapons (including the 'vaccines') haven't been killing us off fast enough to suit them, a little nuclear world war might suffice. Klaus Schwab, George Soros and that ilk have to start the big purge sooner than 2030 because too many of us peasants are starting to understand their intentions.

Is there some reason the military brass can't keep their mouths shut? Butterball General Milley yaps about woke issues and his subordinates and some retirees talk war. They need to put a sock in it.

Remember the Democrats have a long history of getting the USA involved in big, long, and disastrous wars. In that respect you have to wonder if retired General Hodges received a wink and a nod OK from Biden and his crew before he opened his trap. The Russian Black Sea fleet naval base is about equal to what the US Naval facilities were at Pearl Harbor were before Imperial Japan bombed those facilities and warships on December 7, 1941, after which the USA of those days did not just take their toys and go home. Instead the Pacific War was commenced, and did not end until after two nuclear bombs were dropped on Japanese cities. Does anyone really believe that if the USA and/or NATO destroyed such a big Russian naval facility as that retired American General appeared to forecast, that Russia would just take all its toys back to Russia and forget about taking retaliatory action by possibly using nuclear weapons, that possibly could include strategic nuclear weapons that could destroy anyplace in the modern world?

We are in times of relative peace, and Biden and his Generals and Admirals have spent so much time recruiting females LGBTQ and Bi soldiers and sailors and feeding the Critical race theory that they cannot reach their recruitment goals.
If we go to war our youth will have to be drafted, and most of them are too fat and unfit to fight, and they have no intention of fighting anyway.

Biden and his globalist handlers need a war. Why? To decimate the US in every way. Once there is maximum chaos and destruction, the globalists plan to step in and take Total Control. Actually, the Globalists are already ruling America as I write this...via puppet Biden.

Why is the US sooooo involved? Where are the Europeans. Last time I looked the US is not 'really' involved other than sending weapons and gazillions of $$$ to the Ukraine. Strange, when the Russians encircled the country, the bidet did not lift a finger. That was after he had just ended Afghanistan and giving 82$ billion to the Taliban. Then he got busy, or his clown administration. Now we are going to nuke each other over the Ukraine????
