Putin just wants to nuke anybody. Yes, he wants to very badly.
I inadvertently left off the sarcasm tag.
Here’s the probable scenario where our true enemy is a belligerent faction of NATO itself:
France is intent on getting the USA nuked, because they’re America Last, not first. If it happens, we’ll insist France retaliate for us, instead of retaliating ourselves, because it’ll be undeniably their fault. Russia will be destroyed and so will America and the atheist neopagan fascists, like France, will be ecstatic.
France will, if we don’t get Trump in first, put troops in Ukraine and Russia will defend itself by attacking the head of NATO.
