Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, on Sunday condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s move to order Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces to be on alert for a “special regime of combat duty.”
Good afternoon and welcome the the Hives’ musings on Vladimir Putin’s self-destruction. To provide fodder, watch as Russian forces seek to lay waste to a static military monument.
What I find particularly worrisome about Putin’s nuclear escalation is that much of the Cold War infrastructure for back-channel communications, along with those who managed it, is gone.
"Putin cited so-called ‘aggressive statements’ by leading NATO powers and sweeping financial sanctions from the U.S. and other western leaders when announcing that he directed military leaders to put Russian nuclear deterrent forces on alert.”
Why can’t this guy just do what any US male would do, and buy a sports car to deal with “size issues”?
