Those bombs were atomic, not nuclear. Just sayin'
telerabbit9000@reddit
atomic. nuclear. thermonuclear.
atomic is A-bomb. nuclear is A-bomb or H-bomb. thermonuclear is H-bomb.
YesOrNoWhichever@reddit
Thank you?
Ok-Poetry6@reddit
That feels like a threat but I have no idea what Tulsi wants me to do. How do I not get nuked?
telerabbit9000@reddit
Ask Foreign Minister Lavrov. He will know!

Everything about this video makes sense in the light of the recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. As the DNI she's fully aware of how close we are to this scenario and that we are constantly chipping away to prevent the worst from happening. Thank you for being honest, Tulsi.
danielid@reddit (OP)
Tulsi's recent warnings about the risk of nuclear war should be taken with a grain of salt.
She has a long history of repeating Russian talking points, spreading misleading claims about US funded labs in Ukraine, and questioning the findings of U.S. intelligence and America’s allies.. even when the facts don’t support her. While she presents herself as honest and independent, her statements often leave out key details or twist the truth to fit a certain narrative. Given this track record, it’s smart to be skeptical about her warnings and not just accept them at face value.

It is truly distressing when you read the "Hey, she makes sense!" comments, here and youtube. Yes, "nuclear war is bad", but all Tulsi is doing is reminding us to "Be Afraid of Russia", and a little too enthusiastically. She is manifestly dishonest, for reasons only she knows.
telerabbit9000@reddit
She's talking like someone outside the administration who has no power. She's talking like some weirdo conspiracy monger. Who ARE the "elites and the warmongers"? She IS the elite, the most elite, and she's talking as if she's a complete outsider.

Not quite

Yes it can be cringe when Tulsi talks about nuclear winter BUT....she gets a pass because basically nobody else is sounding the alarm on this. The ruling class seems to have forgotten why nuclear weapons treaties exist and is trying to rationalize a nuclear exchange with Russia and/or China being desirable or survivable.

New director. Old video. Hillary says it was written in the Kremlin.
InternationalOption3@reddit
Old video?
Prove it.
KyleButtersy2k@reddit
Just mean that this video was from before she was dni
telerabbit9000@reddit
She visited Hiroshima recently. She mentions the visit in the video.
InternationalOption3@reddit
Why would you carry water for her?? Jfc
KyleButtersy2k@reddit
I do like her. Hence me in this sub.
I did know her to focus on nuclear wat back a few years ago.
Without seeing the links in Instagram or x I thought it was old.
I owned up to it. I am sorry. You were right. I was wrong. Wrong I was wrong wrong wrong.

No, today.
KyleButtersy2k@reddit
"It’s unclear when the video was made..."
I've seen Tulsi speak about this years ago.
I'm not sure, but I doubt she would release this now unless it was from her official dni account.
InternationalOption3@reddit
You’re joking right?
She literally released it on her Twitter
KyleButtersy2k@reddit
Yeah. Like i posted. Instagram too.

KyleButtersy2k@reddit
I'm wrong. The video is actually posted to her official dni Instagram account.
Sorry.
LoopsAndBoars@reddit
What is even that?
danielid@reddit (OP)
Russian Propaganda video?
GumpsGottaGo@reddit

What does the video have to do with the kremlin?
solidsteve21@reddit
Folks trying to imply that wanting diplomacy instead of mutually assured destruction can only be Russian propaganda
danielid@reddit (OP)
The west has tried diplomacy with russia -- it doesn't work.
Russia wants to be an empire again and won't stop until its met with force.
Are you really that naive? You think russia wants peace?
Pathetic.
solidsteve21@reddit
Ironic calling someone naive when you clearly need to read more. The West has been trying to instigate Russia into a war since at least the Minks agreements. Russia had a peace agreement on the table with Ukraine until Boris Johnson at the behest of Tony Blinken went to Zelensky to coerce him out of signing.
Moreover, the US orchestrated the bombing of the Nordstream pipeline—the largest act of eco-terrorism in history. This is the opposite of diplomacy, and any time further attempts are made, people like you call it cozying up to Putin. You only care about Ukraine because your algorithms and John Oliver-types convince you to.
You’re not wrong to think Russia is bad. Your problem is thinking that the west isn’t just as evil.
ggRavingGamer@reddit
Folks trying to imply that not letting Russia do whatever it wants or the alternative is nuclear war is what Russian media is all about. It would be bad if the DNI would be a coward, but as it stands, you know she thinks it's now a virtue.
danielid@reddit (OP)
bingo
urattentionworthmore@reddit
I'm not even gonna read this propaganda and I'm unsubscribing now. go f yourself for perpetuating this garbage.
