I can guarantee you if we were in that situation [an attack on the US] we'd nuke. The Russians have every right to nuke. But they have to be convinced that's not the right thing. And one of the ways to convince them is that we the people of the USA we're not the government, we're different.

[W]e're in a situation today that's orders of magnitude more dangerous than the Cuban missile crisis during it's height. We're on the cusp of nuclear war.
--- Scott Ritter, commenting on the recent escalations from NATO countries
Well I think there is a basic rule of statecraft in the nuclear age and that is that no great nuclear power can afford to appear to be undermining the nuclear deterrent or the strategic defense of a rival. And yet that is exactly what Ukraine apparently acting as a proxy for the United States is doing. It is attacking the Russian early warnings system which is an integral part of Russia's nuclear deterrent. And in this is a strategic assault on Russia, and it will probably draw a strategic reaction.
The fact that we have not seen a particular action from the Russians to date is not reassuring. It probably represents deliberations in Moscow about how to respond without starting World War 3, which is not an impossible outcome if this strategic rivalry continues un-controlled.
So this is a very serious development, it has as you indicated all the earmarks of a systematic effort to undermine Russian strategic security. Two attacks, two sites, I believe I may be poorly informed, that there are 10 such sites protecting Moscow. This represents an effort to knock out 20% of Russia's early warning system, it is not insignificant. And I also understand that unlike the United States which relies heavily on satellite space-born detection systems, the Russians are heavily dependent on these ground stations. So that the net effect of eliminating these is to reduce warning time very substantially, leaving the Russian leadership with almost no time to make a decision about how to respond to a detected possible attack.
This is particularly alarming because there have been in the past mistaken detections of such attacks and it has only been the actions of responsible officials on the Russian side - given the time to deliberate - that has prevented them from responding to a perceived nuclear attack with their own Counterattack on the United States and other targets.
[...]
The most remarkable thing reflecting the strategic complacency and lack of intelligence of much of the West is the extent to which this danger has not been identified in the mainstream media. I know that your own executive intelligence review has and the Schiller Institute have issued a warning and covered this issue carefully, but that is not true of the mainstream media, which suggests a level of military and strategic illiteracy on the part of the current crop of journalists that is quite frightening.

This is an interesting interview and I'm sure the book will be more interesting.
Interesting is not the right word, I thing over the top terrifying is better.
When you look at Biden think that this man has ultimate authority to launch a nuclear wespon.

Best write up about the Ukraine war, tucker carlson and Putin.
Our leaders refuse to listen so it is now up to us, the schmucks at the bottom, who must lead.
Musk’s decision, which left Ukrainian officials begging him to turn the #satellites back on, was driven by an acute fear that #Russia would respond to a Ukrainian attack on #Crimea with nuclear weapons, a fear driven home by Musk’s conversations with senior Russian officials, according to Isaacson, whose new book is set to be released by Simon & Schuster on September 12.

I suspect John Mearsheimer is correct as he has been spot on in all his predictions about Ukraine.
So where does this leave us? I for one will always oppose the western influence and intentions. I'm not pro Putin I'm just looking for the line of least deaths.
Trump, oddly enough, is maybe the only man who can bring negotiations. Think about that.
Because of a technical defect an American bomber team mistakenly orders the destruction of Moscow. The President of the United States has but little time to prevent an atomic catastrophe from occurring.

Here is a brave man.

This is a change from the old days when green MPs were peaceniks
Now they want war my suspicion is that the CIA and various state actors own all the left. The honest people are on the street, pushed out by these state actors.
In new zealand their concern is on everything but our nuclear oblivion.
