Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Top propagandists on Russian state TV brainstormed about various ways of attacking the West for helping Ukraine: from plotting to kill powerful government officials on "The Satanovsky List," to using energy as a weapon against Europe.

When one watches that idiot one doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. It is inconceivable for most of us that a person can honestly believe that crap! Perhaps SOPS is right!
When this is all over, that TV show is going to be an epic source of memes...
Usual caveats:
"Footage from a soldier of the retreat from Lyman. They were later captured/killed. Abandoned and destroyed equipment all around. Complete chaos."

A national character built on bravado and machismo - why Putin does all that topless horse riding and other stunts - its all about face saving and whatever smoke and mirrors have to be employed to achieve that is fine by them.

One Ukrainian battalion… seized 10 modern T-80 tanks and five 2S5 Giatsint 152-mm self-propelled howitzers …
“We started off as an infantry battalion, and now we are sort of becoming a mechanized battalion.”

Extraordinary photo.
Impossible to imagine, prior to Putin’s war, that the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan would hold four-way peace talks with Macron and Michel
The Russian sphere is eroding

Russians have landed in Alaska! Well, only two of them. In a small boat. Without arms. Not exactly article 5 type of event.
To make a long story short:
Village authorities on St. Lawrence Island notified the Coast Guard on Tuesday that two foreign nationals had landed near the community of Gambell in a small boat.
...
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the men were taken to the public safety building in Gambell. Town Clerk Curtis Silook said the men were flown off the island on Tuesday. According to Silook, the men told villagers they had sailed their boat from the city of Egvekinot in Northeastern Russia, approximately 300 miles by sea. Other villagers said the men told them they were fleeing the Russian military.

What he actually asked was that, if the US detected the preparation for the launch of a tactical nuclear strike, that they should launch a preemptive strike to prevent the attack rather than wait and do so in retaliation. Thus saving the lives of everyone in the target area.
A reasonable request, but not one which, unfortunately, would seem politically acceptable.
Having said that, preemptive self-defence is a legally sanctioned US concept, just not sure how it would extend to cover Ukraine - unless you argue that the USA would inevitably be drawn in after the nuclear threshold was passed.

I would have thought that a US preemptive strike was already factored in.
There is no way the US is going to sit and wait for Rusk strikes before saying OK now we end this.
As soon as the US feels threatened, (or the UK for that matter) they are going to strike hard and fast in multiple locations to show that they are not pxssing about and that this stupid adventure has now come to an end.
The US could probably send a catastrophic message to Rusk sailors while still having culpable deniability...the message would still get through loud and clear.

By all means retaliate rapidly and hard, but I cannot agree with pre-emptive action. If anybody triggers Armageddon, I want to be one of the good dead folk, not the scum.
