Are you comparing Putin’s crazy statement to some random basement dwelling poster’s crazy statement?
Thanks for the question. Yes, I am. Moreover, all sides have changed their participation in nuclear related treaties. Sounds like MAD is really mad, after all. If and as NATO becomes an "official" participant in the war between non-NATO Ukraine and non-NATO Russia, there are a lot of bets that are off that proverbial table.
So in an extended reply to your question, tell please which non-news and non-opinion sites on the side of Russia, our US and/or any of the NATO nations which are regularly "rattling their nuclear sabers." You'll be hard pressed to find one.
But the media is filled with repeating and repeating "nuclear war threatened," because, first and foremost, it generates traffic, eyes, ad revenues, subscriptions, donations (even AP is now putting pop-ups requesting donations), so that's where the noise is. That's where the money is.
And if you favorite reporter or opinion writer ACTUALLY thought nuclear was going to break out tomorrow, they wouldn't be writing. They'd be finding a place far away from a target area, whether it was DC, or London, or Moscow, or Ramstein AFB, or Brussels, or....
Instead, we'll all tune in again for the next installment of....
Besides, why is everyone worried? We were told:
'Putin's already lost the war,' says Biden Le Monde, 14 July 2023Now President Biden wouldn't have lied about that, would he?
