"What does Vladimir Putin have to do to convince Washington that the Ukraine crisis is a preliminary skirmish in what might be a nuclear war?" 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 "N-war risk real; Biden's living a dangerous fantasy," they warn that after threatening to use nuclear weapons, "Putin and his high command reportedly have now decamped to secret bunkers."
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 — a NATO country.
"In other words, they are now targets in Poland," writes commentator Thomas Lifson (who gets a "hat tip" for all this article's sources). "Amidst all the other gaffes, this [revelation] has barely been noticed, except, of course, by the war planners in Moscow."
