A Russian state television host threatened on Sunday that the U.S. could be “reduced to radioactive ash” if it does not meet the demands laid out by Russia for deescalating tensions around Ukraine.

Sounds like good enough pretext to release the missiles in pre-emptive self-defense...
Waiting for Vlad to yank this Russian State-run media clown's chain in 3...2...1... (crickets)
Yes. What a clown. As bad as US MSM. BTW Pres Xi said something threatening to the US in a public speech that was mis-translated to the west. Something like bashing our brains against a steel wall.
I am not criticizing US govt decisions here as I do not know anything. However, I recall that the US withdrew from a few treaties with USSR/Russia because we believed we had the upper hand. Maybe that was the right decision. Russia reacted with hypersonics.
I look at a map and conclude that the US is crazy to move troops and missiles so close to Russia.
Why? Russia wants a neutral buffer state in Ukraine that is not a threat. That is not unreasonable IMO.
I sometimes expect Russia to provide shoulder fired missiles to MX narco drug gangs the next time we arm Muslims against them.
Like Putin Puppet Lukashenko asking for Russian nukes in Belarus...and Vlad has troops there already...I guess Poland, the Baltics and Ukraine deserve no buffer...
And while Putin likes to talk about Minsk till the ears bleed...never a word on 1994 Budapest...because adhering to that would make all Russian territorial grabs a criminal act...
And arming Muslims against the West is a Russian favorite too...none more disturbing at present than supporting that batshyt-crazy Mahdi Death Cult in Persia on the brink of deploying nuclear weapons...
The sins of humanity are legion and are not absent inside any border or absolved by rationalizations uttered by temporal potentates...
The bill comes due for all...no exceptions.
I cannot figure out what Russia is doing with Iran. Their support seems luke warm. Both countries are supporting Assad.
In part because both countries do not want ISIS controlling Syria then spilling their mayhem into Iran and Russia. The US support of ISIS and AQ in Syria chilled me.
According to the Duran, the US backed a failed coup in Belarus.
The Israeli piloted F35s against the Russian S400s looks interesting.
Lib Max Blumenthal wrote a good book The Management of Savagery, about how the US, Saudis, and the West think they can manage Muslim savagery against their enemies. How did Osama bin Laden turn out? I see why the US backed him and others against the USSR in Afghanistan but I wish we had not.
The father of the bomber of the Ariana Grande concert, and perhaps the bomber himself, were supported by UK govt against Qaddafi. The Paki govt used to be kinda mello until the US govt backed the Muslim fanatic faction to help us with Afghanistan.
With 20/20 hind sight, why did we care about Iraq taking over Kuwait? Did Bush 1 OK it? Libya was a total abortion and crime against humanity by the US and the West. The UK House of commons drilled down and concluded as much in a report.
Let Europe sort itself out. Let Russia take back some ethnic Russian parts if they want. Better in the long run. I really do not care. Russia does not want to take over hostile parts anyway as it is too much work.
