The lamestream media is downplaying the danger.
Scott Ritter says the Ukrainian army is disintegrating and NATO is panicking. UK and France are talking about sending re-enforcements and missiles capable of hitting deep into Russia. Russia has said it will strike back with strategic nuclear weapons aimed at their capital cities! They conducted nuclear drills as a warning.–Scott Ritter Dire Warning: “Nuclear Crisis Imminent – Russia Prepares for Unthinkable in Ukraine”

Why would he have to say this? Because as we speak, Russia finds itself under attack from many nations around the world – nations that seek the existential extermination of Russia, if not through violence, then through economic strangulation,” Ritter said. Over Putin’s tenure, Russia has gradually “purged” itself of these attitudes, Ritter said, with the conflict in Ukraine serving as a catalyst accelerating Russia’s transformation, forcing elites and ordinary citizens alike to reconsider who they are and what defines them. Going forward, Ritter expects Putin’s new term to “redefine Russia in the final stages of this transformation that it has been making continuously since 1999, a Russia that will for once and all purge the poison of Western malign influence out of its system, and create a pure Russian notion of what Russia is.”
