    Yes actually. Russia and China are both nuclear powers and the US is arrogant but not completely ignorant of reality. They wouldn’t dare use nuclear weapons on either. They don’t even dare Russia to use theirs by getting directly involved in Ukraine with open NATO battalions as they would if Russia didn’t have nukes. They’re not going to commit suicide by using a nuclear weapon in anger over a transit or minor territorial violation.

      With the kind of redacted running the show over there? I am no longer certain of it. We are dealing with people who deliberately organise massacres to prop up their bloated financial system for a few more years. I am no longer sure they quite understand the implications of a nuclear war. Or even a conventional one.
