I got the link to this article at the side bar on my computer, and had never heard of the site. Further investigation showed a type of Left environmentalist blog. Still, being open minded and full of love, I take things as they come. The post by Gilbert Doctorow, “The Coming Existential threat,” presumably by someone on the ground in Europe, gives us one point of view, that the Ukrainian War could escalate into a nuclear conflict. With existential threats, at least as perceived by Russia, they have moved to revise their nuclear doctrine, with “preventive” tactical nuclear strikes, as the United States has. If Ukraine targets Crimea and heartland Russia, then Russia will respond with counter strikes against U.S military installations in Europe and in the Continental United States using hypersonic missiles. That will certainly lead to all-out nuclear war.
