... Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard warned of a "nuclear holocaust" and chastised "warmongers" for bringing the world "closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before" in a foreboding video posted to social media on Tuesday. ...

Gabbard then warns that, because today's nuclear weapons are stronger than the one used by the U.S. in 1945, "a single nuclear weapon today could kill millions in just minutes."

"This is the reality of what's at stake, what we are facing now," Gabbard says in the video. "Because as we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before, political elite warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers." Gabbard went on to suggest that powerful people are confident they'd have access to "nuclear shelters" and would therefore be unaffected by any consequences. ...

Putin has so many ------- in the White House.

MAGAts bend over and grab their ankles as soon as they hear a Russian accent.

It's just constant hyperbole. "Like nobody has ever seen before." "The largest of all time." "closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before."

It's like they're all in a cult or something. Oh, wait...

Well, there is an insane and behaviorally unstable with his finger on the US nuclear trigger, so yeah, nuclear war is possible.

Thanks Capt Obvious.

El Pollo Taco couldn't get Ukraine to surrender, so the next Russian asset steps up to try and get Putin his victory.

The "political elite" want to spend the rest of their lives in fallout shelters? Gabbard just made one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard from a US official. These people don't use logic. They rely on fear and hatred.

They typically have to get through the crowds of liberals doing the same for China, and also for every country sending the people who don't like their government to us. So what's your point? If it's so bad for a party to do it, then why do you not say anything about liberals doing it? The answer "They aren't" is demonstrably false in the same context you made your statement, so it's not true. So please, educate all of us as to why it's OK for some people to do it because you agree with their ideology and not others who may have a different, but just as valid (or not in this case) opinion as you.

" political elite warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers."

What she is saying is that opposition to Putin's invasion of Ukraine and now his demands that all Balkan states pull out of NATO, is an invitation to a nuclear attack. Why is our President not replying tp Putin's threats with a strong reminder about the response any such attack, whether tactical or otherwise, which would be so massive and destructive that the nation of Russia would cease to exist abd that the name Putin would be remembered wotldwide in the same way as Hitler! He invaded Ukraine using the lie of Nazis running Ukraine when, in truth, Vladimir Putin is the actual Nazi with lunatic visions or restoring Russia's glory from a century long past.

If a con man attempted to overthrow democracy because he lost an election you would say, "Thank you sir, may I have another."

Your dreams aren't reality. You should be institutionalized if you can't tell the difference.

I see "Humtake" iy makes me laugh! It's as if there is a parrot posting here; "Liberals are bad," " But, I just don't need a parrot to squawk to me the latest Fox News talking point though it is entertaining to hear it coming from a talking parrot!

Very similar to Robson. Same generic talking points, seldom any relevance to the thread topic.

Fine. LYD can be abrasive. Congratulations on your sweet, sweet mic-drop takedown.

Would you care to address the subject of this post? It's at best a bizarrely dark video that has no context. What's the purpose? Who's the audience? What is the call to action? Why did the director of national intelligence feel the need to create a doom video about a nuclear holocaust?
