US senator ‘won’t rule out’ nuclear strike against Russia
8 Dec, 2021 04:01 / Updated 27 minutes ago

Republican Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker gave a disturbing interview with Fox News where he floated the possibility of a ground deployment and nuclear strike against Russia should the US engage in a conflict over Ukraine.

“I would not rule out military action. I think we start making a mistake when we take options off the table, so I would hope the president keeps that option on the table,” said Wicker about a potential standoff with Russia to Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Tuesday.

Asked what military action against Russia would comprise, Wicker said it could mean “that we stand off with our ships in the Black Sea and we rain destruction on Russian military capability.”

“I would not rule out American troops on the ground,” the senator declared, adding that the US also shouldn’t “rule out first use nuclear action” against Russia.

We don’t think it will happen, but there’s certain things in negotiations if you’re going to be tough that you don’t take off the table, and so I think the president should say that everything is on the table.

Republican Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, however, backed Wicker’s call for all cards to be on the table.

“Russia advances till they hit a brick wall. We can be the brick wall, or we can retreat from the Sudetenland and hope he doesn’t intend to rebuild ALL the Soviet Union. History repeats itself but we always deny it’s happening,” Kinzinger declared.

Ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin's video-link talks with US President Joe Biden on Tuesday, the Biden administration has repeatedly accused Moscow of allegedly planning an invasion of Ukraine, which the Kremlin has rejected as “fake news.”

“We still do not believe that President Putin has made a decision” to “further invade” Ukraine, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters after the talks, but emphasized that what “President Biden did today was lay out very clearly the consequences if he chooses to move.”

Bravado may work against Taliban (at least sometimes), but against Russia, he needs to either have a death wish, or hate his grandson.

I don't think this is a bravado tho A war between Russia-US is a nuclear war that is a fact and if shit hits the fane nobody cares about other things.. But this is absurd

These people are lunatics. He is talking like Russia doesn't have thousands of warheads they can send our way.

These people are driving the US towards insanity.

And it is difficult to tell if he is actually playing to domestic audience or not. US becoming a populist country, line between domestic and foreign policy is blurred.

Most of these boomer politicians like to play Clint Eastwood on camera. They don't mean anything of what they say, that's why they keep talking out of their asses. They are there to play a role and take bribes, that's literally why most get into office.

Exactly.
Its hard to tell with these clowns,do they actually believe the horsesh!t that they`re spouting,or was he just invited onto to fox so he could be on tv stroking his ego [and his pathetic shriveled little c0ck] while looking tough [or trying to..] threatening to nuke russia.
You`d have thought that they would`ve pickled him in formaline and stuck him in a museum a long time ago as an exhibit: "the cold war warrior"
Sadly tho one gets the distinct feeling that this sort of retarded sh!t plays quite well in certain sections of american society.

Ironically I think theres a well known clint quote that sums up someone like the senator perfectly....

I dont see how US can stand by and let Russia invade Ukraine. There will no doubt be major indirect military intervention by US, UK and anyone else that wants to join in.

US has already promised major weapons upgrades for the Ukrainians. Russia will of course win any war, but they will pay a huge price.

I don't know at what point US starts to fight Russians directly if they continue to push westwards. I imagine at the old Cold War borders. In Germany. and Italy most likely. The others will just be left with arms and money to wear down the Russians.

Very much like Russia stood by and allowed the US invade Afghanistan or destabilize Syria. US will have to stand by and watch while offering indirect support to Ukraine. Russia got the upperhand in Syria, eventually. We will see how it ends up in Ukraine. It depends on quality of strategy and diplomatic IQ. If US diplomatic IQ is at the level of Ted Cruz, then I do not see them winning this.

The West is posturing for war now. They are for a "Big Surprise" when do go to war with Russia.

Malhamah is coming ...

 

[Imran Khan]

these senators need few buks to say whatever

 

[Battlion25]

This is madness but hey if miscalculation was to occur this is the only outcome but I doubt such miscalculation would happen

 

[Arsalan345]

These are just statements. Nuclear attack is end of world.

 

[SQ8]

The senator has NO authority or influence in that decision.
