I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.
We are willing to start a nuclear WWIII over Putin's efforts to keep NATO out of the eastern region of Ukraine?
Soon after Russian President Vladimir Putin's speech announcing partial mobilization of national forces for the operation in Ukraine, which included a hint of willingness to resort to nuclear defense of Russia's territorial integrity, Navy Admiral Charles A. Richard - who currently serves as the US Strategic Command chief - confirmed that the Pentagon is taking the Russian nuclear threat seriously.
Putin had said in his early Wednesday address that "If Russia feels its territorial integrity is threatened, we will use all defense methods at our disposal, and this is not a bluff," while also decrying what he called the West's "nuclear blackmail".
Admiral Richard addressed a national security panel event later on the same day entitled "America Under Attack—Defending the Homeland" held in Maryland. He began by acknowledging that "All of us in this room are back in the business of contemplating competition through crisis and possible direct armed conflict with a nuclear-capable peer."
How does this constitute "America under attack?" How is that even remotely "defending the homeland?"
Have we all gone mad? This is insanity!
