âWhat does Vladimir Putin have to do to convince Washington that the Ukraine crisis is a preliminary skirmish in what might be a nuclear war?â So asks astute commentator David Goldman (a.k.a. Spengler) and fellow writer Uwe Parpart, sounding an alarm that should make everyone take notice. In an Asia Times piece titled âN-war risk real; Bidenâs living a dangerous fantasy,â they warn that after threatening to use nuclear weapons, âPutin and his high command reportedly have [now] decamped to secret bunkers.â
Meanwhile, barely noticed is that while explaining away his statement that American troops were heading for Ukraine, Joe Biden revealed on Monday something else troubling: What he meant was, he said, those American soldiers would be training Ukrainian troops in Poland â a NATO country.
âIn other words, they are now targets in Poland,â writes commentator Thomas Lifson (who gets a âhat tipâ for all this articleâs sources). âAmidst all the other gaffes, this [revelation] has barely been noticed, except, of course, by the war planners in Moscow.â
