I believe World War III began the moment Putin invaded Ukraine. My belief is rooted in the idea that there are no off-ramps, there isn’t a solution that won’t melt down (think Munich Agreement 1938), and Putin has told his story about the rat he cornered in his kitchen 🧵
🚨🇷🇺 PUTIN UPDATES NUCLEAR DOCTRINE
Russia’s updated nuclear doctrine states that aggression against it or its allies by a non-nuclear state supported by a nuclear one will be treated as a joint attack.
The doctrine emphasizes Russia’s readiness to use nuclear weapons to ensure deterrence and permits their use if the sovereignty or territorial integrity of Russia or Belarus is critically threatened.
Ballistic missile launches against Russia are listed as grounds for nuclear retaliation, and the doctrine identifies adversaries against whom nuclear deterrence is exercised.
Providing territory or resources for aggression against Russia is also considered a basis for nuclear deterrence.

BREAKING:
A decision was just taken to launch a NATO mission for Ukraine
The news was broken by Polish Foreign Minister @radeksikorski, saying
it doesn't mean NATO is entering the war, but that NATO's coordinating, training & planning capabilities will now be used to help 🇺🇦

Our NATO friends have got a new mantra. Now they are collectively saying that intervention in “Ukraine” is not in plans. Just some troops will enter an area near Lvov and maybe Kiev to relieve the Ukrainian army. Kind of, doing housekeeping and organising; training; bringing elite special forces to some places. Nothing more. Implication: people of our countries, relax. There will be but a few coffins. And you, Russians, don’t get too anxious, we are not going to make war.
Just totally brazen brutes who hold all the world for fools! All these microgenital NATO organs have to follow orders by the ukrainian military forces and none other! Otherwise, they won’t be allowed even into such a squalid, dying country as “Ukraine”.
That means they will become part of the regular forces who are now fighting against us. Which is why they can only be treated as enemies; and not just enemies, but as elite detachments, Hitler’s SS punishers. And there can only be one rule for these overseas lice, who, unlike the unfortunate Ukrainians, were not forced to go to war: no prisoners taken! And for each NATO fighter killed, blown-up, or burned there must be a maximum reward. And no giving the bodies back. Let the relatives abroad suffer.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated today during a Press Conference at NATO Headquarters in Brussels that the Situation in the Gaza Strip is “Unacceptable” and that the Attack last week on Humanitarian Aid Workers by the IDF should be the First and Last Incident like that to happen, with him further stating that if the Washington does not see Firm Steps by Israel to change its Policy in Gaza then it could cause a change in U.S. Policy towards Israel.
