[@robstevenson6432]

It's unfortunate that Dr Postol, several times, has to apologize for his expert opinion because of the fear that it might appear to be "pro-Putin". This is where we are now -- if you render an opinion contrary to a power structure, you automatically are classified in some enemy camp and you are advocating for that team. There is little room for clear-eyed analysis.

[@A3racada3ra]

He does not apologize for his analysis or his opinion but rather apologizes because he sometimes talks over Ryan or Emily (because of the delay).

Ukraine is "losing this war badly and suffering the loss of 2,000 military personnel per day?" If that were true, the Russians would have reached the western border of Ukraine by now. It sounds more than a bit disingenuous.

[@AlexTheGOAT01]

Welcome to NeoMcCarthyism

[@joescott8877]

The corollary to this psychotic set-up is that, if these well-documented , quite insane provocations by the West that Dr. Postol cites lead to a news-making retaliation by Putin (American advisors targeted and KIA in Ukraine, etc), the effing media will back up the admin's inevitable Blame Russia First/Only mentality ("See? THIS is who we're confronting here! Monster!"), and most Americans will fall the mf in line. Again.

It's crazy still how much divide there is about it. I recently spoke with some Dutch veterans (went to Bosnia and Iraq etc.), one half thinks like i do, which is also what Dr. Postol thinks like, and the other half is willing to die for the "fatherland". Which of the countries that are involved in the conflicts are our fatherland? Should that not be the country that we actually live in and are born and raised in (the Netherlands)? Shouldn't loyalty be warranted? It's like sticking up for a friend that goes around fighting with everyone. At some point you'd have to think about why exactly this is a friend, and why exactly should you always side with them? (i mean, i still remember the failed 2016 referendum, they were deemed too poor and corrupt, yet now they are saints, while also stealing billions but okay. Not to mention the disproportional response from that country in the newer conflict.) But to be fair, most of the "die hard" vets are mostly just doing it for the money, and bragging rights, or blind faith. Because it seems almost impossible to have a discussion with them about it, they shoot first, and talk later, and most of that talking consists of broad claims and empty words. It's good to have them to carry out the orders, but not having them give out the orders. Russia is not out to kill us, and i am certainly not going over there to kill them. I'm not on any side, we're not getting anywhere if it _has_ to be one or the other, there should be a middle road, what is wrong about peace, truce, diplomacy? This is more about the resources and business, than it is about the people on that land, many of which are living in hotels here now anyway. I mean, the past decades sucked anyway, why would we want to make it even worse? The out of touch politicians will remain to be out of touch. We shouldn't be listening to them anymore either, there will be someone out there that will want to do the right thing.

Glad someone is awake in Europe.

No one talks about the wish washy relationship with Turkey. One Coupe away from having our strategic nukes being taken away and used against us. Just food for thought.

I don’t discount his expertise vis a vis nuclear weapons and no one wants WW3, but his assertion that Ukraine is “losing the war badly” I don’t buy

[@richardconnelly7141]

you watch fake news do ya?

[@heathsimpson2140]

Russian control of the airspace? Wow this guy is off his rocker insane. The Russian A-50 pilots don’t agree that Russians control the airspace.

[@derrypowell9092]

I think you misinformed. I think you referring to the story on the 2 A50 that got hit. One was Ukraine propaganda (no confirmation on this story) and the second only got superficial damage that forced it to return to base for reparations. And this was months ago. And having air control does not mean you never get hit. What he means by air control is that Russia has air superiority, they outnumber Ukraine in fighter jets, if there are any left, and have reduced air defence system to a meaningless few. Fact to back this up is that they are bombing everything to smithereens along the frontline and on all military bases and warehouses around Ukraine. FYI there is no airbase left intact for the future F-16 so they will likely will have to fly from neighbouring NATO country with all the consequences that brings.

What I hate is that we can’t do anything. Civilians all over the world are pawns. I’ll tell you one thing, though: prayer works. And that’s what I’ll be doing. People may not cooperate with the grace from prayer, but prayer is the only thing I can think of doing.

Krystal and Saagar need to have him on Breaking Points to get a larger audience

[@tomellman2418]

The US must have known that Ukraine was targeting Russian nuclear attack radar, because as we been told over and over by experts, Ukrainians are not able to program the rockets and control systems in order to hit target without assistance, direct immediate assistance from US experts.

Did he say 2k Ukrainian casualties a day? 11:48

[@paulthomas-hh2kv]

Heard that figure earlier today, Russia started using FAB-3000’s

[@Pomeray8]

Yes. Accurate. They are conscripting people from as afar as Columbia. You can watch videos online. Russian soldier took our a whole troop singlehandedly a few weeks ago. It is very graphic though, so be mindful.

Why are cluster munitions used when they are outlawed?

[@ttothek131]

Bc in reality all is fair in love and war

[@willneverstop]

because during war international law is irrelevant if you want to win

[@ryanbudney3356]

Because they're effective. When its a matter of your life and death, how many people are going to think "shall I defend myself? isn't it illegal?" And they're not universally outlawed.

[@danhanson4456]

Maybe ask the Russians why they are using cluster munitions and thermobaric bombs

[@ndefrutheplayerday9702]

[@enjoimarcbar]

The escalation into all out nuclear war from some goofy series of events is exactly what that popular 80's song "99 Luft Balloons" is about. A bunch of kids balloons get released and appear like spacecraft on the enemy's radar and so they send jets out to investigate and through a series of unforseen foolishness ends up destroying civilization.

[@davekelsey2338]

Ух ты! Спасибо за трезвый взгляд!

[@jessiejb4684]

We helped facilitate the use of cluster munitions shot during daytime toward a crowded summer beach on a holiday in Russia and our response by state dept spox was basically ‘f u Russia’. Not ‘we’re investigating what went wrong in this unfortunate event and we’re saddened by the loss of any civilian life on either side of the conflict’.
