Truth is the first casualty of war.

In my opinion, we should remember that when we watch the "long-range missiles" being reported as fired upon Russia from Ukraine.

Maybe? Maybe not?

Who will get credit for stopping the possible nuclear war?

Or maybe it is an excuse to use nuclear weapons?

Or maybe it can be blamed on Joe Biden for giving the missiles to Zelinskyy?

A world of propaganda.

I haven't heard anyone else suggest this. This had to be part of President Biden's calculation in granting this permission.

He has installed his puppet into the WH and Ukraine will be handed to him on a platter.

Putin was never serious about using nukes. Our CIA and military intel kept telling us that.
