The news is that, over the weekend, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu called his counterparts in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Turkey, to claim that Ukraine is about to use a “dirty bomb,” which would thus allow Russia to retaliate with nuclear weapons. Today, General Valery Gerasimov, the chief of the Russian general staff, called his American and British counterparts to press the same case.
Nothing is more dangerous than a cornered rat, and the Russians’ telegraphing a dirty bomb false flag is really showing that Putin is more deluded and desperate now that his botched Ukrainian invasion is going down the tubes fast.
God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Yeshiva, Yahweh, Mohammad, Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesha, Brahma, Zeus, Hera, Poseiden and all the greek gods, and every other god in the universe, please rid this man of our presence. Can't abide him being alive. I can say the same about tfg. Itadakimasu. Yes, please.
Thanks TC for an essential but unsettling post. Hoping for rational military leaders in R. But there are always rogues---ready to help a crazy leader............. A dirty bomb is horrible to contemplate.
Can’t help but think of the domestic reactions to a Russian false flag and nuclear “response.” So much of the GQP is lined up with Russia, but their hatred for Biden will drive them in the direction of criticizing him for not responding in kind. The poor babies won’t know which way to turn.
Alarming. At the least, wouldn't detonation of one (or more?) dirty bombs make Kershon a wasteland, a rewon piece of Ukraine no longer habitable or a viable hub for SE Ukraine?
I do hope that the people contacted by Shoigu and Gerasimov laughed in their faces. I doubt that Russia can nuc anything because their bombs have not been maintained and a tactical nuc will accomplish nothing even if it did work. A dirty bomb is much simpler to make. Could they make and explode several of them in various locations? Revenge is what Putin is after. Destroying Ukraine fast or slow is the same to him
Supposedly Putin has some brains? When a tyrant begins to believe so much in himself that he doesn't understand how obvious he is to the rest of the world, something is amiss. Too much botox? Too much money? Too much power? His increasing underestimating of others will be his undoing. I hope it happens sooner rather than later.
This speaks of Putin's desperation. I think it is a signal that he is not long in the job. He serves at the pleasure of Oligarchs. A dirty bomb is not going to free up their sanctioned funds or get their yachts back. This smells of the beginning of the end for Vlad.
Let’s not forget: The Ukraine is the Breadbasket for Europe and elsewhere. To contaminate the soil with dirty bombs will bring widespread famine.
Putin needs to be put out of the World’s misery.

Thank you for explaining this so well TC. I really appreciate it. I pray it does not end nuclear.

“If I cannot possess it, I’ll make sure you can’t either”
That’s a form of some psychological disorder, right?
