Can watch the other videos by CNN, but not this one.

For some, the boldness of Putin's decision to invade -- as well as his implied threat to use nuclear weapons -- is a break with the carefully calculated and far more limited military campaigns he has launched in the past. Video footage of the Russian President seated dozens of feet away from his senior military advisers during meetings and gleefully dressing down one of his spy chiefs on television have only underscored the image of an isolated leader, acting on his own counsel alone.

I assume Neal's video hits this topic, too. And as I have written twice or three times in the past few days, I have doubts on Putin still being mentally sane. And/or that his isolation is used to manipulate him by carefully selected, filtered intel "information" to make him ordering what he then orders. Both scenarios are equally alarming.

Russia's nuclear doctrine, published in 2020, also includes a first-use nuclear policy. The Kremlin "reserves the right to use nuclear weapons," including "for the prevention of an escalation of military actions and their termination on conditions that are acceptable for the Russian Federation and/or its allies."

Wowh. That means in plain English they claim the right to attack Ukraine with nukes, if conventional warfare does not get them where they want.
Maybe its time to take into account the possibility that we simply cannot afford not to fully intervene in this war, at least with French, American, British troops - which all are under the nuclear umbrella of their nations' nuclear deterrent. If there would be consensus on article 5, then of course just every NATO nation should send troops.
Bloody hell.
Always when I think it cannot get worse - it gets worse. |
