So hopefully someone in the west grasps this development.

Kremlin has confirmed that the recently annexed territories in the east are now under Russia's nuclear umbrella protection.

The escalation was bombing the Crimean Bridge. It provoked a reaction which has seen Russia cause enormous damage to critical infrastructure such as power throughout Ukraine. They were warned it was a red line.

Escalation doesn't just happen at the start of a war.

Sadly too many people are unable to distinguish between Ukraine defending its territory after Russia's invasion and then escalating war itself by trying to destroy Crimean Bridge. They should ask themselves why US won't give them weapons which would lead to a huge escalation?

US is prepared to support Ukraine but only up to the point that they themselves do not cross red lines DIRECTLY with Russia. That might seem like a grey area at times but Russia and US both clearly understand ALL red lines wrt each other.

Israel keeps reiterating it will not supply weapons to Ukraine and has multiple times refused to speak to Ukrainian counterparts.

EU disintegration continues.

US is taking this dirty bomb story seriously.

So it continues:

House Dems are now urging Biden to seek a diplomatic push wrt Ukraine war.

US Army's 101st Airborne Division conducting exercises with Romanian forces using live tank and artillery rounds is a nothing story.

US has no intention of engaging directly with Russia in Ukraine wrt to very clearly understood red lines.

Ukraine war is demonstrating very clearly those who have no understanding of how international relations are truly conducted, particularly between US and Russia.

Beware of those who seek to entertain you. Their assertions fall apart very rapidly upon the slightest scrutiny.
