Here is a journalist who is NOT IN TROUBLE with Putin over the war

Margarita Simonyan suggested that Russia should display its nuclear capabilities with an atomic test above its own territory. In a video address on her Telegram channel, the RT editor-in-chief expressed her feelings about the progress of the war.

"I am perfectly happy to live at a time when these events are taking place and historical justice is being restored," she said, as she described how Ukrainians "are the same as you and me" and had spent "30 years in hell," referring to the period since the breakup of the Soviet Union.

But amid her apparent joy, at the same time, she said she felt "bitterness and regret" because the war was turning out to be "so long and so hard."

While happy that Russia had seized Kherson, she lamented how it had "returned to the enemy, to the wicked stepmother," when Ukraine eventually recaptured the city. She said that Russian people are "praying, fighting and worrying" for Ukrainian areas like Kherson to return to Russia.

"I can't promise you this, but if it does not, you will know no peace and neither will we," she said. "We'll be fighting for this peace, whatever it takes."

She reiterated the Kremlin talking point that the war was one in which the West was fighting Russia and "trying to strangle us with Ukraine's hands."

Reflecting on how it will not be done as "easily and painlessly" as the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Simonyan said that "a nuclear ultimatum is becoming inevitable" because "they will not back down until they feel a lot of pain."

She cited the call by the late Russian right-wing populist politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who died in April 2022, "that we strike Washington." But she suggested that hitting one of Ukraine's allies with a missile — a common refrain on the Russian state TV programs she appears on, would not be necessary.

She said that Russia could "conduct a thermonuclear explosion hundreds of kilometers above our own territory somewhere in Siberia," and that would not impact those on the ground. Rather than describing the intention of such a move as one to scare the West, she said its main effect would be to "destroy all radio electronics" and affect satellites, cameras and phones. Simonyan then talked about how life could revert to the time of 1993 and how "glad" she would be to live in a gadget-free world.

"The option is out there and it is the most humane one," she concluded.

Britain All Out of Arms to Give to Ukraine: Report

Britain has run out of military equipment to give to Ukraine, a U.K. military official claimed, as Kyiv’s fight against Russia shows no sign of ending anytime soon. The anonymous official commented on reports that Ben Wallace—who resigned as Britain’s defense minister last month—had asked Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to spend around $2.8 billion more on supporting Ukraine. According to The Telegraph, the senior military source did not think the onus should be on Britain to spend the “billions” Wallace requested. “We’ve given away just about as much as we can afford,” the official was quoted as saying. “We will continue to source equipment to provide for Ukraine, but what they need now is things like air [defense] assets and artillery ammunition and we’ve run dry on all that.” On Monday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said fatigue over the “absurd sponsorship of the Kyiv regime” would grow.

Now THAT'S an oxymoron! The Senate Intelligence [sic] Committee also was convinced... convinced, I tell you!... that Saddam had WMD! I wrote to Diane Feinstein who was then its chair about bogus WMD and I got back a smarmy form letter that said "Well, we know things that you don't know." It seems mostly what they "know is disinfo fed to them.

Signym, you didn't realize that it is easy to check that you lied. The Senate concluded the opposite of what you claim. You are such a liar, Signym.

Today’s reports are the culmination of efforts that began in March 2003, when, as Vice Chairman, Senator Rockefeller initially requested an investigation into the origin of the fraudulent Niger documents. In June 2003, he was joined by all Democrats on the Committee in pushing for a full investigation into prewar intelligence, which was eventually expanded by the Committee in February 2004 to include the five phase II tasks.

The Committee released its first report on July 9, 2004, which focused primarily on the Intelligence Community’s prewar assessments of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction programs and links to terrorism. Those findings helped lay the foundation for some of the intelligence reforms enacted into law in late 2004.

In September 2006, the Committee completed and publicly released two sections of Phase II: The Use by the Intelligence Community of Information Provided by the Iraqi National Congress; and Postwar Findings About Iraq’s WMD Programs and Links to Terrorism and How They Compare with Prewar Assessments.

In May 2007, the Committee released the third section of Phase II: Prewar Intelligence Assessments About Postwar Iraq.

Separately, in early 2007, the Pentagon Inspector General released its own report on the intelligence activities conducted by the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy and also concluded that those activities were inappropriate.

BINGO!

And the fact that there are half a country full of dumbfucks like Ted and Second is the reason they get away with it.

If voting was a right only granted to 100 IQ and above, our country would be doing a lot better than it currently is.

I wrote BEFORE the invasion, dimwit. And I was writing to Feinstein as MY SENATOR, asking her to vote against it.
She answered as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/about/committee-members-107th-cong
ress-2001-2002
and insinuated that she knew "things". I was disgusted by her smarmy answer that only revealed what an idiot she was, and wrote off the Senate "Intelligence" Committee as a bunch of self-entitled morons who couldn't tell real intelligence from disinformation.

And you're a maroon too.
