We're moving closer and closer to a direct confrontation with Russia:
"It’s a stunning shift the administration initially said would escalate the war by more directly involving the U.S. in the fight. But worsening conditions for Ukraine on the battlefield –– namely Russia’s advances and improved position in Kharkiv –– led the president to change his mind."
Paradoxically, Obama (whose staffers are now in the Birdbrain Biden admin) did not want to arm Ukraine, and Trump gave them Javelin and Stinger missiles which proved effective in the first few months of Russian's invasion.
“It’s like if somebody were to attack Washington, D.C., from the Virginia state, and you say we’re not going to hit Virginia for some reason,

“It’s like if somebody were to attack Washington, D.C., from the Virginia state, and you say we’re not going to hit Virginia for some reason,
Odd comparison. So, he is implying that Ukraine is a part of Russia that is acting rouge?
Incrementally, we are moving closer and closer to a direct confrontation with Russia ...

Putin orders changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine
“We reserve a right to use nuclear weapons in case of aggression against Russia and Belarus,” the Russian president said, adding that the principle had already been coordinated with Minsk. Nuclear weapons can be used if an enemy poses a “critical threat to either state’s sovereignty through the use of conventional weapons,” he explained.

PS: Starmer, Macron, et all think that Putin is 'bluffing.' Many of this very same ilk thought that Putin's repeated threats to invade Ukraine was a threat as well.
Where American leaders believe that they are managing escalation, Russians know that they are managing (our) anxiety. This is what they do, and they do it well. They do it with fervent determination, because they believe in it, and they know that it is their one chance to win.
Or a Mexican standoff initiated by who's not sure his cap&ball revolver would fire while his opponent has a Glock in his hand. It would only work if the Glock-wielding opponent is a fucking pussy (which he obviously is).
blowback nuclear war 80 years after bringing 2 nuclear bombs to war would ring as poetic justice to the impartial observer.
On November 1, 2023 the USSR unsuccessfully tested the RS-24 Yars intercontinental ballistic missile, and on October 25, the RSM-56 Bulava ballistic missile.
The Yars missile was launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome (Arkhangelsk region) at a target at the Kura test site (Kamchatka) by a combat crew of the 33rd Missile Army of the Strategic Missile Forces of the USSR . The Yars missile went off course, as during the previous command and staff exercises of the strategic nuclear forces of the USSR on October 25, 2023
In addition, on October 25, 2023 a test launch of a Bulava ballistic missile from the Borei missile submarine ended unsuccessfully.
