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.

In the three-minute video, Gabbard details a recent visit to Hiroshima, Japan to learn more about the aftermath of the U.S. nuclear attack on the city in 1945 during World War II. The video features footage of Gabbard’s trip and archival footage showing victims, interspersed with Gabbard speaking directly to camera about the consequences of a nuclear attack.

“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.

“It’s up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness. We must reject this path to nuclear war and work toward a world where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust,” she continues.

Safe bet the "political elite warmongers" are those who support Ukraine. Not the first time Putin's puppets like Gabbard have tried to suggest that support for Ukraine could mean nuclear war with Russia, but this is the most melodramatic. And she's added that lie about fallout shelters.

1. What the actual fuck?

So we've got riots in LA, and nuclear war on our doorstep? Am I getting this right?

What the fuck have these people been drinking? Is it the ivermectin that they took when they had covid? I swear to fucking God somebody needs to lock up these crazy motherfuckers

2. It is pretty insane that these people have power and a bully pulpit.

We really need to take our country back!

6. Is she threatening LA?

I wouldn't put it past any of them to couch vague threats in an aimless speech.

13. I wouldn't put it past them to tactical nuke an urban area (meaning brown people)

...and then blame a country or cartel consisting of brown people. And the press won't question it or consider any evidence to the contrary.
Then whoopie! TSF's poll numbers go through the roof, and we have a perfect "Wag the Dog" scenario: Iraq version 2.0.

I see something really bad like that happening before the election of 2028.

3. Considering that Trump's got the Football with the launch codes,

maybe we should worry, because if anybody's likely to start one...

4. Is it possible that this is the first time she heard about the bombing of Japan?

[Marthe48]

5. Any other civilization commit suicide?

I can't think of any culture past or present that killed itself.
If maniacs hadn't ascended, with permission from the rich, the powerful, the asskissers like gabbard, johnson, the obsessed, the envious, the maliciius and the hateful, we wouldn't be watching our country die.

7. That was weird

not sure what her point is. She and her boss are a big part of "fomenting fear and tensions".

[LudwigPastorius]

8. "Safe bet the "political elite warmongers" are those who support Ukraine."

On the nose.

More pro-Putin propaganda from the Russian puppet, Gabbard.

9. Wackadoodle turncoat.

She’s a cartoon character.

10. Clearly what she is saying is anyone standing up to Putin is carelessly fomenting fear and tensions

between nuclear powers. How many times have Putin and Lavrov threatened nuclear war in the last few months? Do you see any condemnation of them? No, it's anyone who isn't ready to appease them that she is accusing. Her ridiculous statement that these people who are fomenting nuclear war are confident they'd have access to fallout shelters and would therefore be unaffected by any consequences is something the village idiot would find idiotic. They would come out of their shelter to a nuclear wasteland but would go about their lives as if nothing had happened? WTF?

11. "Fallout shelters"

If you grew up in the '50's or '60's, fallout shelters were everywhere. Heck, even my elementary school had one. (They were virtually useless against a direct nuclear blast.)

I think what she's talking about are those deep underground bunkers below D.C. Reading about that makes me think of the ending of Dr. Strangelove, where they're discussing what kind of women will be selected to stay in the bunkers and then breed the new race once the nuclear war was over.

12. Shame we don't have a deal with Iraq. Hmmm . . . wonder why that is, Tulsi.

[SunSeeker]

14. Putin approves of her message (may have even written it). nt

[vapor2]

15. interesting she couldn't recall where she was on that signal chat?

[orangecrush]

16. Putins voice

Echoes in her vast canyon.

[vapor2]

17. Mike Lee also believes in the apocalypse . They have no right to determine how or why we will die.

18. Gabbard was in Japan in March and again last week...........

Just curious what she accomplishes there.

It’s unclear when the video was made, but Gabbard traveled to Japan last week, where she visited a U.S. military base alongside U.S. Ambassador to Japan George Glass. Gabbard did not visit Hiroshima during her first trip to Japan as DNI in March, according to a readout from her office.

When asked to clarify Gabbard’s comments in the video, Gabbard’s deputy chief of staff Alexa Henning said her concern about nuclear war is shared by President Donald Trump.

“President Trump has repeatedly stated in the past that he recognizes the immeasurable suffering, and annihilation can be caused by nuclear war, which is why he has been unequivocal that we all need to do everything possible to work towards peace,” Henning said in a statement. “DNI Gabbard supports President Trump’s clearly stated objectives of bringing about lasting peace and stability and preventing war.”

19. Normally it's Putin who threatens America with nukes,

Mrs. Pepe Le Pew is overstepping.
