100%, it's a republican on one of the foreign affairs committees, someone on Trumps staff, or Trump himself. Remember, GröpenFührer gets classified briefings as a candidate for president.

[–] woodytrombone@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

That's not exactly true. Classified briefings are given to the candidates at the discretion of the current President.

I highly doubt Biden is giving him access.

Europe needs to step up. We might get trump and then you won’t have the US. So Europe needs to step up

Well Zelensky was very clear about there being two paths. I welcome the world's newest member of the nuclear weapons club.

I really hope it doesn't come to that as escalation will be fast, but if they keep being strung along and not being given means to end the war there might not be another choice =(

Or Russia decides eating a nuke isn't worth it because they know what launching a nuke from Russia would mean.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Very possible, but putins crazy.

I don't know how Ukraine would convince Russia the threat is real without at least a test detonation somewhere and that's better than bombing someone, but also not ideal.

He's not crazy, he's a cold, calculating sociopath.

He wants people to think he's crazy when it comes to nukes because that makes his empty threats seem scary.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that's true, but it was always going to be a tight line to walk to get out from under a Russian invasion without going the Afghanistan route.

Putin smiles as he has more leverage to disrupt the free world.

Vlad is waiting until Trump gets back into the White House, then Ukraine is finished.

At this rate it seems to not matter much if Europe doesn’t finally grow up. I say this as a European.
