The insanity in all of this is that Russia threatens to use nukes on an almost bi-weekly basis. Now they are using people like Musk to make them look as scary as possible. The problem with all this is: Negotiations with such a regime like Putin's - which uses nuclear rhetoric as the first level of discussions - are impossible. Putin can't be "an insane guy willing to nuke the world over Ukraine" and "a rational guy just wanting some negotiations" at the same time. Pick one and stick with it.

Why the heck not at the end of the day everybody makes money if those people don’t want us to use our weapons on them they stay in line and they’ll build up their economy and succeed if they don’t well that’s why we have the weapons if they caused a couple hundred million more to make them a little bit pointier fine in the end we do have the best systems we do have contingency plans it is unlikely that if only Russia struck against us we wouldn’t succeed almost entirely the goal is to let no nukes get through not one none now there is a caveat if say somehow and it would definitely have to be a secret to organizations say Russia and China teamed up together and both tried to hit us that would spark World War III and it would be impossible to say what would happen after that but our intelligence and military is the strongest entity that’s ever existed in humanity and that’s not saying it lightly nothing happens without our knowing and allowing it to some extent because most of it and so the rest is about cleaning it up however we’ve also made a lot of enemies along the way from that it’s not a perfect system but that is the system it’s unlikely that will go to war with nukes just because Russia would lose they have to convince China to also team up in China would mainly lose however it’s hard to say when two people are firing a nukes at one maybe everybody goes to war and start blasting i Pakistan UK Korea everything to get pretty crazy pretty quick but that’s the deterrent as well the US is definitely the instigator in terms of the Ukraine conflict we were in agreed to keep them neutral and so Russia did what they had to do to get back the real motherland was surprising and somewhat pathetic and sad is just how bad they are and doing that I expected this to be over in a week and it has been months and it is looking very poor it’s very clear that their technology is beyond subpar Ukraine barely had any military infrastructure in place they believe that it would never happen/come to war and with that catching them off surprise you would’ve thought that would’ve given them an extreme advantage but poorly planned assault after poorly planned assault shows that Ukraine can definitely defend themselves with support from us in the end I’m not sure what will happen if we take over Ukraine then Russia will have to concede but if we’re just doing this proxy spending money then I don’t know what the end goal is supposed to be we could just be trading the Middle East for Ukraine

*_“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist._* *_We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”_* ― Dwight D. Eisenhower, Farewell Address, President of the United States of America, 1961

[@-giorgioarmani3436]

In a private meeting with Woodrow Wilson (US President 1913 - 1921) Colonel Edward Mandell House predicted the banksters' plans to enslave the American people. He stated: "Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property (that's you and your children) in a national system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a charge back for our fiat paper currency. "Every American will be forced to register or suffer being able to work and earn a living. They will be our chattels (property) and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading (Birth Certificate) to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, secured by their pledges. "They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans and, if by accident one or two should figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability. After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debts to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges. "This will inevitably reap us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor to this fraud, which we will call “Social Insurance.” Without realizing it, every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and we will employ the high office (presidency) of our dummy corporation (USA) to foment this plot against America." - Colonel Edward Mandell House

That does not mean that I haven't looked myself already. It's just that so far, we have nothing but hearsay and no valid claims yet.
