Putin’s red lines crossed as Ukraine effectively brings war to Russia
“Putin is a bully. He has rattled the nuclear saber over 100 times.”
Ukraine has “very effectively” crossed Putin’s “red lines” and “brought the war to Russia”, says former special advisor to Ukraine’s foreign minister Cormac Smith.

The cold hard reality is that you can't win a defensive war that is being fought entirely on your soil. In order to win you must go on the offense, and you must hurt the infrastructure of your attacker.
Russia can source and use missiles from Iran, N Korea, Syria and Belarus but Ukraine can't use what it needs from other countries?
Talk about double standards
Good thing Carol is here to interrupt a good response from the guest.
Nukee nukee??
Always these fake claims of "Russia will not stop at Ukraine", there's literally zero evidence that supports that. What a clown show
I'm wondering what Kamala plans is considering she most likely will win if there's any intelligence left in the USA.
Cormac Smith is a warmonger and may live to eat his words day.
Putin must be color blind, or he just doesn't know what red looks like.
Dude needs to give it up this is 2024 not 1852
Ukraine must be free to protect itself and show Putin what the real war means.
Don't underestimate a Nuclear power. At one point he will use it if provoked. We will all be affected. Don't mistake restraint for weakness. Donald Trump said it well, he has nukes and he might used them and at the end of the day we will all suffer. Stop gunning for war please! Stop it . We keep talking about nukes nukes as if its something of a joke. The threat is real. Stop trying to bring America to wars and frankly many of these same allies wish America's downfall and We as Americans we are smarter.
Get ready gen z and lace those boots up. You don't wanna be found a coward here at home if you cowardly dodge service.
Red smush!
A vote for Trump is a vote for dictator Putin and billionaires and nothing more……
Trump speaks highly of dictator Putin……
Ukraine invaded Kursk to find the red line's they are still advancing and have not found any red lines to date! It seems the red lines are only in the minds of western wets!
U.S. : "We are fully supporting Ukraine."…NO,, You're NOT,, You're half*ss supporting Ukraine while also tying one of their hands behind their backs. Truly cowardice & shameful.
zelensky and biden are sleeping together
STOP accusing the US of being afraid of escalation. America has accomplished its goal already. Go to the archives and look at what Lloyd Austin said from the start.
"Putin's Red Lines" Should we really be scared of Putin? He knows there are nukes pointed at his head. Its the end of us all. There are no winners.
Putin is the Patron Saint of Psychopaths.
people like him keep saying we keep crossing his red lines and he does nothing, but what happens when he launches nukes? and comparing Churchill and England to now was pre nukes…..im not saying that we shouldnt unleash the hounds, im just saying the logic doenst hold up
United we stand! Thank you so much for all your work. Sending love. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
The US imposition of its major De-escalation position on the EU and Ukraine is unfortunately the same policy ot pivoted towards in promoting its corporate globalization for the past 30 years. It is the US globalization foreign policy steeped in appeasement of tyrants, dictators, and strongmen, rendered the UN impotent, enriched criminal networks worldwide, and failed to deter Russia's, and China's imperial aggression and the tyrannical rule of Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Israel. The US policy of appeasement and de-escalation brought us Russia invading its neighbors and committing war crimes with impunity. It brought us Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine and the return of the Afghan Taliban.
Times Radio, idiotic analysis as usual. Where are the Challengers now?
Who is this war monger.? If we go to war then the devastation will be on a scale never seen.
Thank you very much Mr. Smith for stating clearly what must happen and Putin has used his empty threats long enough to control the narrative of this war.
So a nuke EMP? Goodbye Diego Garcia?
I believe Biden & UK by allowing larger faster missiles into Russia, and the probability that any hesitancy by Putin, will be over-ruled so –
My guess at Russia's initial retaliation?
Will it be a near space, or an over the South Pole, hypersonic EMP attack?
Aimed where?
First a smaller demo over Diego Garcia?
Then where?
West Ukraine; Guam; or if it's UK's above say a Scottish submarine base??
I Puti pulls out of the Ukraine without the Crimea, a land bridge, and a source o fresh water,ahe will have to disappear and hide away to stay alive.
Puttin who🥱 oh that manipulating psychopath the madman who only looks at the history and doesn’t look at the future of his country which is collapsing
Puny Putin, Short Man, Big Man of War Crimes, wanted by the ICC, little lying man. Puny, Lavrov, Peskov and Medvedev could make Russia a great country contributing to a unified world's growth through the multilateral sharing of knowledge, truth, science, humanitarian support and medical research. But NO, Puny Putler wants to destroy democracy in the democratic countries of the world.
I find it amazing that Putin gets to have a say when he is the enemy.
Z
The little dwarf continues to cry like a little baby.
Dont invade other countries, the Biggest Red Line. Get the F out
Whatever the little man has to do, he has to do! But it is time he quits and goes home or gets defeated! If he has more war in him, or if he thinks he can take NATO, it will have to be! There can be no breaks, truces, or cease fires!
*"The clouds are darkening, yet the people with microphones and the clowns representing us are foolishly cheering."
🤣🤣🤣
Stop telling lies
“As long as it takes” is so much hedging.
Wow… tirth time I hear this lady speak…. military analyst ? … I seriously have to question her assessments. Not gonna say more.
