So nuclear war should be avoided at all costs.  Unfortunately, both sides just continue to escalate matters in Ukraine, and the Russians keep warning us that if they are pushed too far they will be forced to use nuclear weapons.  But our leaders are not taking such threats seriously.  They seem to believe that they can keep creeping closer and closer to the red lines that the Russians have established because they are convinced that the Russians will never actually risk a nuclear war.  Of course we better hope that our leaders do not miscalculate, because if a nuclear war erupts most Americans are going to end up dead.

The Biden administration has foolishly decided that Ukraine should be free to use missiles provided by the United States to hit targets deep inside Russian territory.

In response, Dmitry Medvedev has warned that this could lead to a direct nuclear conflict between our two nations…

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has given his strongest warning that the invasion in Ukraine may end up in a nuclear disaster, after US president Joe Biden lifted restrictions on Ukraine using American weapons for direct attacks on Russian soil.

Two US officials confirmed that the US has lifted the restrictions, after officials from the White House, the US military and the State Department spent weeks discussing Ukraine's usage of the weapons behind closed doors.

Medvedev was president of Russia before, and he may be president again someday after Putin's reign ends.

So the fact that he is publicly threatening us with nuclear destruction should be deeply alarming to all of us…
