IMO, the current escalation of rhetoric, to also include nuclear, is designed to show Biden’s ass.
Notice how Biden is not saying anything about the use of nuclear on the part of the US...he intentionally avoids it.
Putin doesn’t.
He is not in full control of the US military: He could have put boots on the ground in UKR but didn’t.
Most importantly, he is not in immediate control of the US Nuclear Launch Commands (The Football).
As said earlier, a Ballistic Missile launch (armed or not, targeted or not) will force Biden to make a decision.
Only the POTUS can order a retaliatory strike.
It will expose Biden for what he is.
I’m calling TOTAL B.S. on the propaganda that Russia damaged their own pipelines.
It was the globalist cabal, just making sure Europeans would would have less incentive to agree to peace.
Back in the Cold War, NATO strategy included posting just enough forces on the front line to temporarily delay a Soviet attack on Europe.
The POINT: Get a bunch of Americans and Brits SLAUGHTERED in order to quickly crystalize American public opinion behind the use of tactical nukes.
They needed to reach this point (i.e., nuclear war) before individual European nations had a chance to surrender.
There is NOTHING the cabal won’t do to keep power.
