#Putin #NuclearReadiness #Ukraine
At a time when the world is faced with the possible use of nuclear weapons again, it is a good time to look back and remember the devastation wrought by the uranium bomb used on Hiroshima and the plutonium bomb on Nagasaki in 1945 in Japan.
I have just finished reading an excellent children's book "The Day of The Bomb" written by Karl Bruckner, published in 1962. The story was written about Sadako Sasaki, a 4 year old girl, who had only a mild burn but died 10 years later from Leukemia cause by gamma ray radiation. The statistics are his. The Japanese people who survived, called it "The Thunderbolt". It exploded 100x brighter than the sun, radiated several million degrees of heat, and in Hiroshima alone 86,100 people were burned to death, 72,000 people were severely injured, 6,820 houses were blown to pieces and deadly neutrons and gamma-rays bombarded everything close by. The radiation from the gamma-rays left a deadly legacy that caused the deaths of many of those who survived the blast.
In Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park there is a statue dedicated to Sadako Sasaki and the 1000,s of child victims who died or suffered because of this bombing.
And today Ukraine and the world is faced with weapons of this destructive and deadly ability in the hands of ONE Mad Man who has threatened to use them, and not just Ukraine will suffer, but the whole world will be affected in some way.
And the bombs Putin has in his arsenal have a destructive force 1000x greater than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in seconds.
ALL of us are threatened by this, And ALL of us must proclaim " THERE MUST NEVER BE ANOTHER HIROSHIMA". If we don't realise the danger we are in, then we will not worry about it, and if we don't worry about it, we are more likely to lose our life to this deadly threat, especially when the hand on the button is the hand of a MAD MAN, Vladimir Putin.
Are we as close to nuclear war now as we were during the Cuban crisis? I think we're at defcon 3. B52 nuclear bombers just arrived in Europe. Correct me if I'm wrong.
No A la guerra viva el Amor,,, Estados Unidos son Iluminatis Quiere conquistar el mundo ðŸŒÂÂ
Viva Rússia viva Vladimir 🇷🇺♥ï¸ÂÂ

I pray for the peace and freedom of the people of Ukraine
"The question we ought to be asking ourselves
is why does NATO even exist after 1990? If
NATO was to stop communism, why is it now
expanding to Russia? … If NATO is there to
defend the west from the Russians, why is it
now expanding right to the borders of Russia,
becoming a global intervention force,
protecting sea lanes, pipelines, and so on?"
10,000 Russian corpses will kill all to one occupier
10,000 Russian corpses will kill all to one occupier
I rather die then help Ukraine because they racist nazi … go Russia destroy the evil doers 😇
I need a bottle
Only the innocent Ukrainian Civilians and soldiers are suffering because of the stupid decision made by their president. Ukraine should have stayed at neutral position. It could actually trigger to WW3.
All sides should put arms down then no war.
Watch how quickly everyone starts ww3 if the unsighted states pulls out now just saying you people say mind your own business to the unighted states but every time we have intervened in major wars say ww1 ww2 you people started those we were minding our own business the we were ether attacked or plotted against telegram / Pearl Harbor so we started taking a pragmatic approach watch how quickly you people come asking for help if we start the isolationist polocy again
I believe 🙠in powerful positive attitude and understanding
We gave about 50 million crack pipes to our crack head. It only make sense to give some thing similar to Ukraine to show our support.
Russia wants peace! Ukraine wants peace! We all want peace! But why does Ukraine still want to join the UE and NATO? What is the purpose? Why can't you live without joining the UE / NATO? Ukraine being a buffer between states! Ukraine should remain neutral so that no one feels threatened. Ukraine is suffering a lot of losses, unfortunately, the infrastructure, the economy is destroyed. It will take some time for things to return to normal!
For those who helped Biden and Harris and support them… Your Gods Failed again.
"Doris and the rest of NATO… Sorry but over the years you have pushed Potty Putin into a corner… A very dangerous thing to have done…
We should be dealing with this situation in the same manner as John F. Kennedy did with the Cuban missile crisis.
If we don't go over there and HELP THESE PEOPLE with as much heart ⤠as they are showing; we don't have a hair on our A$$ !!!!!!!
USA AND NATO MUST NOT UNDER ESTIMATE PUTINS CAPABILITIES
USA AND NATO SHOULD DESTROY NUKES INSTALLATIONS BEFORE ITS TOO LATE , TARGETS IS TO USA AND NATO LAND
When you dont have brains,media is your life.
BoogeyMan BoogeyMan!!
L0L

The Republican party is a danger to the USA not mention the world. The GOP is the meaning of Autocracy and a bunch of killers. Follow your leader TRUMP into HELL you pieces of of SH#T!!
As you noticed, Zelensky is in a panic, like Hitler in 1945 in his bunker (Zelensky, by the way, is also now a bunker), they call on all civilians – children, women, the elderly – to fight the invaders. And these people will become a legitimate target for Russian soldiers. Zelensky just wants to drown his population in blood. As you can see, Europe also wants Zelensky to drown his population in blood. And all this looks ridiculous for everyone except Ukrainians who can be killed
I can see it now.
Mr Putin visits Russian Missile Headquarters after having skipped breakfast …
“I am hungry da! How do we call for room service here?!? Oh – here it is the big red ‘LUNCH’ button!†😳
Putin stop stupidity

Sorry to disappoint everyone but Russian are encircling the city and not enter yet. Preventing civilians from evacuating and using them as human shields will result in civilians bloodshed. At least one gun fight in the city were amongst the paranoid soldiers and civilians whom were claimed to be Russian saboteurs. Hope diplomacy work out.
Keep fighting for y'all's country â¤ï¸ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂ
Let's go Putin!
