A resolution is being introduced to consider an attack on NATO if Russia or its proxy, Belarus, detonates a nuclear device in Ukraine. The belief is that such an attack would irradiate Europe and harm NATO allies. The urgency stems from President Biden's acknowledgment of the threat of Putin using tactical nuclear weapons. The counter offensive in Ukraine is progressing slowly, but thousands of well-trained forces are ready to join the battle. The focus is on the potential use of nuclear weapons by Putin, and the message is clear: NATO will respond massively, and a war with NATO will ensue. The resolution aims to deter Russia and provide clarity on the consequences of such actions.

Gilbert Doktorov and the host discuss the recent Russian strike aimed at Lvov, using Soreshnik (Arashnik) missiles, and what it signals about NATO, Western responses, and the trajectory of the war. - Initial facts and uncertainties about the strike: The Russians did not provide a clear description of what they did or where. Doktorov says it’s unclear whether at least one or six to nine missiles were fired, and whether the targets included the largest single gas storage facility in Ukraine. He notes that if a gas storage facility were hit, it would imply enormous destruction and heat Ukraine’s heating, but no confirmation has been given about the exact damage or targets. Reports indicate several missiles were released, but the exact number and impact remain uncertain. A Ukrainian gas storage target would have produced a large explosion if hit. - Context of the attack: The strike was not isolated; it occurred amid drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles hitting multiple cities, including Kyiv. Zelensky urged Ukrainians to stay indoors, suggesting the Russians intended a larger attack. Doktorov argues this demonstrates Russian confidence that their weapons cannot be stopped by existing air defenses. He contends the attack serves as a message to the West, downplaying the significance of Western “domes” or defenses. - Western and Ukrainian reactions: Ukraine’s foreign minister called for a United Nations Security Council meeting, signaling seriousness. Ukraine’s leadership framed the strike as a response to Western provocations and ongoing escalations. - Arashnik weapon system and balance of power: There is discussion about whether Arashnik missiles have multiple warheads or dummy warheads, and how many were launched. The conversation notes that Russia’s use of the weapon, and the surrounding firepower (drones, missiles), are part of a broader strategy to exert pressure on the region and test Western defenses. - Domestic Russian dynamics and deterrence: Doktorov suggests the strike reflects pressure from within Moscow by hardliners who want a stronger, more forceful stance. He contrasts Putin’s leadership with Khrushchev, arguing Khrushchev was decisive and provocative, while Putin has been more restrained but could be compelled to show force by hardline factions. The conversation links recent events (attack on Putin’s residence, the northern energy and military infrastructure strikes, and the broadened use of missiles) to a perceived revival of Russian deterrence. - Role of the United States and Trump: The discussion covers the U.S. role and ambiguities surrounding Trump, including speculation that Trump’s policies may be both deceptive and strategic. They reference reports about Trump’s possible green light for attacks on Russian tankers and the broader implications for NATO and European security. The Financial Times editorial is cited as considering incentives and pushback to manage Trump’s Greenland agenda, suggesting Europe’s limited leverage over Trump, who could push to dissolve or weaken NATO rather than sustain it. - European strategic responses and deterrence: The editors discuss possible European tactics to counter Trump (e.g., threatening to expel U.S. troops), while recognizing that many Europeans prefer to keep U.S. military presence. They debate whether Trump’s aims include breaking NATO or extracting concessions, and consider whether European states will push back or acquiesce to U.S. leadership. - Prospects for peace and endgame: The speakers debate whether negotiations remain possible or are now merely for optics. They discuss whether a direct war between Russia and NATO could emerge if Russia escalates further, especially with energy infrastructure and civilizational effects in Ukraine. They foresee a likely “frozen conflict” outcome, with Russia annexing territories east of the Dnieper and Odessa, leaving Ukraine landlocked and largely excluded from NATO and EU integration, while warning that Western military presence and support could trigger direct confrontation if Russia chooses to escalate. - Civilians and dislocation: They emphasize that as the war intensifies, civilian suffering will grow, with mass displacement and humanitarian crises likely, particularly if Kyiv and other cities become uninhabitable due to outages and destruction. - Overall tone: The discussion underscores deep uncertainty, strategic signaling, and the perception that both Western policies and Russian deterrence are shifting in ways that could escalate or reshape the conflict, with no clear, imminent path to a settlement.

A massive drone swarm attack in Russia has occurred, targeting strategic forces. The damage assessment is debated, with Ukrainians claiming significant damage and Russians downplaying it. If the U.S. was involved, it's a major act of war. Questions arise about whether the U.S. provided intelligence or targeting assistance, potentially through the base in Wiesbaden, Germany, where Ukrainian officials work with NATO forces. The attack raises concerns about a blurring of lines in the proxy war and potential escalation. There are questions about whether President Trump or intelligence officials were briefed on the operation. Some believe the CCP is fueling instability and that Zelenskyy's actions are derailing peace negotiations. If the White House was unaware, they should condemn the attack and halt support to Ukraine. Some urge immediate investigations into potential deep state involvement and call for figures like Tulsi Gabbard and Ratcliffe to investigate. Lindsey Graham is accused of stirring up conflict, and there are calls to end mineral deals with Ukraine if they acted without U.S. knowledge.

Two top Ukrainian officials are visiting the Biden administration to request the easing of restrictions on the use of U.S. weapons against targets inside Russia. Currently, Ukraine can only use U.S. weapons in a limited area across the border. Andrey Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, and Rustem Umarov, Ukraine's defense minister, will present a list of priority targets deeper inside Russia. President Zelensky believes lifting restrictions on long-range strikes will help end the war sooner and more fairly for Ukraine and the world. A Ukrainian lawmaker stated that easing restrictions is important to change the course of the war.

President Biden signed an agreement allowing the Ukrainian military to use U.S.-made weapons to target inside Russia. This move has raised concerns, as Putin warned that such actions would be considered an act of war. With only two months left in office, questions arise about Biden's intentions and the implications of this decision. Some believe he may not have even signed the agreement, suggesting he is on vacation instead. The perception is that the current administration is indifferent to the consequences for Americans and the global community. There is a belief that the Democratic Party is recklessly escalating tensions, potentially leading to World War 3, disregarding the well-being of people worldwide.

Zelensky claims Putin is terrified, but the situation is escalating dangerously. Russia has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time, raising concerns about nuclear capabilities. This development could drastically change the global landscape, driven by the military-industrial complex and financial support to Ukraine. The current U.S. administration's actions are seen as reckless, with media outlets celebrating the provision of long-range missiles to Ukraine. This conflict is viewed as a proxy war, and there is a strong call for negotiations to end the violence and find a resolution.

With a million Ukrainians dead or permanently injured, an entire generation lost, and the country in ruins, the situation is dire. Recently, the White House has authorized the use of long-range missiles in Ukraine, indicating NATO's involvement in attacks on Russia. Ukrainians lack the expertise to operate these missiles. Additionally, the Biden administration has reversed its stance on anti-personnel mines, which they previously condemned, now allowing their use despite the known dangers to civilians, especially children. This raises questions about who is truly in charge in the White House. Initially, it seemed like Tony Blinken was leading, but now it feels like dark forces are at play. The use of anti-personnel mines serves only to harm innocents, highlighting the moral implications of these decisions. The Ukrainian president, who operates without a democratic mandate, has also suppressed religious freedoms.

**Original Language Summary:** Обсуждается возможность разрешения киевскому режиму наносить удары по территории России западным вооружением большой дальности. Подчеркивается, что украинская армия не может самостоятельно наносить удары современными высокоточными системами большой дальности без разведданных со спутников НАТО и внесения полетных заданий военнослужащими стран НАТО. Разрешение на такие удары будет означать прямое участие стран НАТО в войне на Украине, что существенно изменит суть конфликта и потребует от России принятия соответствующих решений, исходя из создаваемых угроз. **English Translation:** The possibility of allowing the Kyiv regime to strike Russian territory with long-range Western weapons is being discussed. It is emphasized that the Ukrainian army cannot independently carry out strikes with modern high-precision long-range systems without intelligence data from NATO satellites and the entry of flight missions by NATO member states' military personnel. Permission for such strikes would mean the direct participation of NATO countries in the war in Ukraine, which would significantly change the nature of the conflict and require Russia to make appropriate decisions based on the threats created.

Russia is proposing amendments to its nuclear weapons doctrine. Aggression against Russia by a non-nuclear state supported by a nuclear state will be considered a joint attack, potentially triggering a Russian nuclear response. Russia may also use nuclear weapons if it detects a massive aerospace attack, including missiles and drones, crossing its border. Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons if an enemy's conventional weapons pose a critical threat. These proposals include scenarios where Russia could use nuclear weapons preemptively based on verified information of an ongoing aerospace attack. These proposals follow prior warnings from Vladimir Putin that countries supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles for strikes into Russian territory would be considered complicit in attacks on Russia. Russia claims Ukraine cannot plan or use these weapons without NATO involvement, despite Western arguments to the contrary.

According to the speakers, the Pentagon assessed that providing Ukraine with weapons capable of striking targets within Russia carried a 50% risk of nuclear exchange. Despite this assessment, the U.S. proceeded with providing those weapons. One speaker argues that such a decision warrants imprisonment, likening it to being controlled by supernatural forces. The other speaker agreed with the assessment, and presented a hypothetical scenario where Russia faced a similar threat from weapons in Canada and Mexico, emphasizing Putin's warning of a full retaliatory commitment in response to a large-scale aerospace attack. The speakers highlight the potential for rapid destruction, with nuclear submarines capable of striking major U.S. cities within minutes. One speaker recounts witnessing smoke emanating from the Kremlin after a drone attack, noting the Russian reluctance to acknowledge vulnerabilities in their capital's defense. They claim Ukrainians have murdered Russians and attempted to murder Americans.

On November 19, 2024, footage shows a US attack on a Russian military base, escalating tensions in the ongoing proxy war between the West and Russia. Putin has warned that Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons against NATO countries in response to these attacks, raising fears of nuclear conflict by Christmas. The situation has intensified since NATO expanded eastward after agreements made in the early '90s. Congressman Massie criticized Biden's actions as unconstitutional, suggesting they could lead to total war. Concerns are growing about potential cyber attacks and civil unrest as the conflict escalates. Amid these tensions, discussions about health and personal well-being arise, with mentions of dietary supplements and the future of Infowars.

Speaker 0: The transcript portrays Putin issuing a chilling World War III threat with a flying Chernobyl-style nuclear weapon. The classified missile is rumored to reach Mach 15, change direction midair, and the Russians believe no one can shoot it down. They’ve already tested earlier versions on Ukraine. Even with high-tech missile defense systems, it cannot be stopped. Russia reportedly has hypersonic missiles that fly hundreds of feet above the ground, alongside ballistic missiles. The speaker asserts the Russians have it all, and that the US says Russia is ahead of us in hypersonic missiles. The Pentagon is described as keeping most powerful capabilities secret, with about two generations of weapons tucked away. The speaker claims Russia has almost a two-to-one nuclear superiority over the US, and that once war starts, nobody wins: even if 95% of missiles are shot down, they would still flatten every city and military base. A classified unnamed ballistic missile is shown dropping many dummy warheads as a demonstration. The narrative references alleged testing in Ukraine and notes a claim that a demonstration MIRV (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) was presented: a demonstration that Russia can penetrate defenses and deliver nuclear payloads, though no warheads were involved in that particular display. The speaker recalls Biden announcing long-range cruise missiles, and Putin responding by attacking a missile factory, with subsequent release of photos showing holes in the centers of buildings within the factory. Western media allegedly dismissed these as not powerful missiles, but the speaker counters that it was a MIRV demonstration, and Russia later confirmed the demonstration of capability to field nuclear payloads. The speaker also claims Trump is frustrated with NATO and the EU, accusing them of starting the war with Russia and not wanting it to end. It is stated that Trump decided, over a week prior, not to provide Tomahawks to Zelenskyy. In response, EU and NATO are said to be supplying comparable or more advanced weapons to Ukraine, which would escalate the conflict on the escalatory ladder. Putin is said to be amassing nuclear weapons and attack submarines, with references to maps in the Daily Mail illustrating Russia’s buildup in the Arctic Circle as preparations for war with NATO are described. A segment mentions footage of the Skyfall ballistic missile factory. Speaker 1: Closing outro promoting Infowars, urging followers to connect on X (Twitter) at real Alex Jones and at AJN Live, and to download the Alex Jones app, urging support against the “democrat deep state party” and declaring that they will never be silenced.

Recent discussions in the UK and US suggest that Ukraine may be allowed to strike deep into Russian territory using Western long-range weapons. This marks a significant escalation, as Ukraine currently lacks the capability to effectively use these systems without NATO support. If NATO countries decide to proceed, it would mean direct involvement in the conflict, fundamentally altering its nature. The delivery of thousands of precision missiles to Ukraine raises concerns about potential Russian retaliation, which could lead to a broader conflict involving nuclear weapons. Putin has warned that such actions would be considered a declaration of war. The situation is precarious, with the risk of escalating tensions leading to catastrophic consequences, including nuclear warfare. The urgency of the moment calls for heightened awareness and preparation for potential global instability.

Russia is summoning the US ambassador to hold the United States accountable for attacks on Crimea, threatening punishment. This follows reports of Putin threatening US territories, according to Russian news. Russia is requesting dialogue with the US to discuss nuclear war and de-escalation. Russia is considering changing its nuclear doctrine to allow preemptive attacks if threatened. Putin also says Russia will potentially deliver weapons to North Korea and other US enemies due to the US, Ukraine, and Russia situation. This news comes as US members of Congress are reportedly saying this is an overdrive.

The US withdrew from the anti-ballistic missile treaty in 2002 and started placing Aegis missiles in Poland and Romania. Putin expressed concern about the proximity of these missiles to Moscow. The US refused to negotiate with Russia and stated that NATO enlargement was none of their business. Russia's attempts to engage in negotiations were unsuccessful, leading to a military operation and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The situation has resulted in a high death toll, mass displacement, and a significant economic decline in Ukraine.

Trump said Putin is crazy, but he hadn't been told about the drone attack, an attempt to assassinate Putin. Since May 19, there have been 7 to 11 drone attacks into Russia proper, inevitably carried out with the assistance of western intelligence. This explains why Putin ordered the military to retaliate and strike back at Ukraine. The attack targeted military installations. Over 83 ballistic missiles and over 700 Russian missiles and drones were fired, but there were only 30 civilian casualties. With that amount of firepower, civilian casualties would be in the thousands if Russia was targeting civilians. The Russian defense ministry is trying to explain why they're doing what they're doing.

Russia has launched a significant attack on Ukraine, targeting its energy infrastructure and leaving over a million people without electricity. Ukraine reported that Russia fired over 100 drones and 90 missiles in this assault. President Zelensky condemned the attack as a vile escalation of Russia's tactics. This escalation follows Ukraine's recent strikes on Russian territory using NATO-supplied long-range missiles. In response, Ukraine claims to have targeted an oil depot near Moscow, though it remains unclear if these strikes were successful, as Russia has not confirmed any hits and interception is likely. The situation continues to develop with ongoing hostilities between the two nations.

Despite claims of peace, NATO reaffirmed its commitment to Ukraine joining, a red line for Putin. Russia launched a heavy drone and missile attack on Ukraine, with 90% reportedly shot down, though many hit targets. A Ukrainian F-16 pilot died intercepting the attack. Russia claimed to have taken a settlement in Donetsk, inflicting over 1,200 casualties. Zelenskyy called for more Western help, specifically Patriot missile defense systems. Trump is considering providing more Patriot systems to Ukraine, despite campaigning on ending the war. Trump said he would consider bombing Iran if it enriches uranium to concerning levels. The Trump administration claims that reports of minimal damage to Iranian nuclear facilities from US strikes are "fake news" leaked by Democrats. The Ayatollah insisted that US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities achieved nothing significant.

The Russian army has launched missile strikes across Ukraine, targeting military facilities and railway junctions. In the Kharkov region, Russian troops have gained control of key settlements, tightening their grip around Pokrovsk. Trump has shifted his stance on the Ukraine conflict, suggesting he is ready to meet with Putin and indicating potential new sanctions against Russia if negotiations fail. He criticized Biden's handling of the situation and emphasized the need for European nations to contribute more financially. Meanwhile, a Colombian citizen fighting for Ukraine was captured in Russia, claiming he was misled about his role. Zelensky has not signed a bill to halt the mobilization of young men, indicating ongoing recruitment efforts. European leaders express concern over Trump's influence and the potential for a prolonged conflict, while Zelensky calls for increased military support from the U.S. and Europe.

Despite claims of de-escalation, NATO reaffirmed its commitment to Ukraine joining, a red line for Putin. Russia launched a heavy drone and missile attack on Ukraine, with the Ukrainian Air Force claiming to have shot down about 90% of the projectiles. A Ukrainian fighter pilot died in a crash while intercepting Russian missiles. Fighting continues in Eastern Ukraine, with Russia claiming to have taken over a settlement in Donetsk. Zelenskyy called for more help from Western backers, specifically requesting more Patriot missile defense systems. Trump is considering Zelenskyy's request, and when asked, said he would consider bombing Iran again if intelligence indicated concerning levels of uranium enrichment. The Trump administration claims that reports of minimal damage to Iranian nuclear facilities are fake news spread by Democrats. The Ayatollah insists that the US gained no achievements from strikes on its nuclear facilities.

The discussion centers on the rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, with a focus on Venezuela, Iran, and the broader US-led strategic environment, as seen through the perspectives of Mario and Pepe Escobar. Venezuela and the Venezuelan crisis - Escobar frames Venezuela as a desperate move tied to the demise of the petrodollar, with a broader matrix of actors maneuvering in the back to profit from a potential annexation and to test regional security strategies. He notes that the United States has stated “this is my backyard, and I own it,” and questions whether Washington is ready to back that stance against the will of the Venezuelan people, including Chavistas and the new government led by Delcy Rodríguez, who he describes as “an old school Chavista” with a strong legal and negotiation background. - He argues that the operation against Maduro lacked a coherent strategy, including planning for reorganizing the Venezuelan oil sector to serve American interests. He cites expert opinion suggesting it would take five years to recondition Venezuela’s energy ecosystem to produce around 3,000,000 barrels per day, requiring about $183 billion in investment, which CEOs would require guarantees for before engaging. - The regime-change objective as pursued by Trump-era policy did not materialize; the core regime persists with figures like Padrino and Cabello still in place. The “mini Netflix special” of the operation did not translate into a durable political outcome, and the regime’s leadership remains, even as some key security figures were demoted or accused in the operation. - Dulce Rodríguez (Delcy), the vice president, is portrayed as a capable negotiator who must persuade the Venezuelan public that the security betrayal by the head of Maduro’s security apparatus was real. Escobar emphasizes that the domestic narrative faces a hard sell because the core regime remains and the security apparatus has not been fully neutralized. - Escobar stresses that sanctions are the most critical barrier to Venezuela’s economic recovery and argues that without sanctions relief, meaningful economic reconstitution is unlikely. He notes that Delcy Rodríguez enjoys broad popular support, and he argues that Latin American sentiment toward U.S. intervention complicates Washington’s position. - He warns Brazil’s Lula, a BRICS member, plays a crucial role; Brazilian foreign policy, influenced by Atlanticists, could veto Venezuela’s BRICS membership, complicating Venezuela’s regional integration. He contends that Maduro’s removal is not assured, and a more open Venezuelan regime under Delcy could potentially collaborate with the West, but sanctions and governance challenges remain central obstacles. Iran, protests, and sanctions - The Iranian protests are framed as economically driven, with inflation and cost-of-living pressures fueling dissent. Iran’s currency and real inflation are cited as severe stressors, and the regime’s subsidy policies are criticized as inadequate. Escobar emphasizes that the protests are hijacked by foreign actors to turn into a regime-change playbook, echoing familiar color-revolution patterns observed in other contexts. - He describes Iran’s resilience under extensive sanctions, highlighting infrastructure deficits and the broader economic stagnation as long-running issues. He stresses that Iranian society contains grassroots debate and a robust intellectual culture, including Shiite theology studies, universities, and a tradition of long-term strategic thinking with sustained cross-border alliances (Russia and China) as part of a broader BRICS alignment. - On foreign involvement, Escobar notes differing perspectives: some Iranians blame foreign meddling, while others point to domestic mismanagement and sanctions as primary drivers of discontent. He emphasizes that Iran’s leadership remains wary of external coercion and seeks to strengthen ties within BRICS and other partners, while being cautious about provoking Western escalation. Russia, China, and the evolving great-power dynamic - Escobar argues that Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran view US actions as part of a broader long-term strategy rather than short-term wins. He describes a sophisticated, long-horizon approach: China pursuing a multi-decade plan with five-year cycles, Russia testing BRICS-centered financial and payment systems to reduce dependence on SWIFT, and Iran leveraging BRICS relationships to counterbalance Western pressure. - He contrasts this with what he calls the “bordello circus” of American political-military maneuvering, suggesting that the US’s episodic threats and unpredictable diplomacy undermine any similar credibility or effectiveness. He emphasizes that Russia and China prioritize acts and long-term power balancing over American-style unpredictability. - The 12-day war and the Orishnik missile attack on Lviv are framed as signaling a more volatile phase in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with Putin signaling that the war could extend beyond the previously imagined timelines if Western escalation continues. The missile strike is presented as a clear warning to NATO and the Polish border region, underscoring heightened geopolitical risk. The broader outlook and conclusions - Escobar remains deeply pessimistic about a swift resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war, citing the potential for a prolonged European conflict that could strain European economies. He views regime stability in Iran as fragile but enduring, while Venezuela’s path remains contingent on sanctions relief, domestic governance, and the strategic posture of Latin American neighbors and BRICS members. - The conversation closes with a reminder of the complexity of modern geopolitics, where sanctions, domestic economics, regional alignments, and long-term strategic planning interact in ways that defy simple “winner-loser” narratives.

Russia overnight launched a drone strike on Kyiv. Zelenskyy announced a $90,000,000,000 arms agreement with the US, as President Trump appeared to reverse his position on Ukraine’s chances of turning the tide. Gen. Keith Kellogg says the war began in 2014 and in 2022; “This is not president Trump’s war in the sense he has inherited this war, and he's done everything he possibly can do to bring this war to a conclusion.” “From talking to two major principals, from talking to allies, and he's done a wonderful job doing it, but he's really trying really hard.” Trump’s UN General Assembly remarks “changed the landscape.” Intelligence shows Russia is not winning: “If they were winning this war, they'd be in Kyiv, they'd be in Odessa, they'd be over the Dnieper River.” NATO added Finland and Sweden; Ukraine needs “the armament and the ability and the authority to use it,” and they don’t want US troops on the ground. Zelensky asked for Tomahawks; decision not yet made. Masutaka Okano says this is internationalized.

Russia has 6,000 nuclear warheads, 1,600 that are deployed. Russia is under attack by The US and UK. I say that because while Ukraine nominally presses the button or, makes the attack, it's US weaponry, US satellites, US intelligence, US tracking, US logistics. And so we have an active hot war going on right now. It's insane. So far, no American president, has had, either the bravery or the decency to tell the truth, which is that from the time of the end of the Soviet Union in December 1991 until now, The US has been on a campaign to weaken Russia, to divide Russia, to surround Russia, to put US military all around Russia, to break apart Russia if possible, to sanction Russia to its knees, whatever it is. That's been The US campaign. So if this war is gonna stop, The US has to stop its campaign against Russia. That's the story.

Americans believe a potential World War III would only concern Europe, reflecting a US-centric geopolitical strategy based on the assumption of safety across the ocean. Russia has its own doctrine for using nuclear weapons and is making adjustments to it. The speaker claims Americans view WWIII as bad because they don't want Europe to suffer, reflecting a master-servant mentality where others, including Ukrainians and now Europeans, are expected to "die for them." Speculation exists about allowing Ukraine to use not only Storm Shadow but also American long-range missiles. An anonymous source in Washington said they are looking into Ukraine's request positively. The speaker warns that "playing with fire" is dangerous for adults entrusted with nuclear weapons in the West.

The CIA last November briefed Congress that there's a greater than 50% chance of a nuclear war between Russia and The United States, based on releasing ATAKEMS missiles to Ukraine for long-range strikes into Russia. Those strikes would have violated Russia's new nuclear doctrine and red lines. STRATCOM's director of plans briefed a Washington DC think tank that The United States is prepared for nuclear exchange with Russia, meaning nuclear war, and that The United States thought they would win. A senior Democrat asked if the CIA said the Russians were bluffing; the answer was no—the CIA said the exact opposite. The scary part is Biden administration officials were in the room and said, "Oh, we're ready for that. If the Russians wanna play, we're ready." "We're ready to go to nuclear war with them. This is the insanity that existed in November."
