I think he wants to preempt giving Ukraine nukes, said to be in plans by the UK.
Then Putin can give nukes to a dozen of players who aren’t on good terms with the US.

Thanks to Joe 81millionvotes Biden and the Uniparty, we are starting to see a revival of the 1950s and the Cold War. I can only wonder if things such as the East Palistine disaster, as well as a few others were truly “accidents” or maybe retaliation.

Cui bono? East Palestine only benefits Republicans. It was definitely another Biden misadminstration own goal, and almost certainly not the last.

Right, that's why Trump in 2018 said the US would withdraw from the INF Treaty citing Russian cheating. Staying in a treat that the other side violates is pointless.“Russia is not complying with its obligation under the New START Treaty to facilitate inspection activities on its territory."

U.S. Withdrawal From the INF Treaty: The Facts and the Law

President Trump announced on Oct. 20 that the United States would pull out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, a 1987 bilateral agreement prohibiting the United States and Russia from possessing, producing or test-flying ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometers and their launchers. Speaking at a rally in Elko, Nev., Trump cited Russian violations as the chief reason for U.S. withdrawal and said the United States would develop intermediate-range missiles until Russia and China—which is not party to the INF Treaty—agreed to cease development of their own intermediate-range missiles.

I see Brandon achieved what he wanted with his trip to Kiev and his soul-kissing of Zelensky who only charged 500 million for the pleasure. He wanted to provoke this reaction.

I still don’t understand why the prospect of nuclear war is so enticing to Democrats. They’re genuinely trying to goad Putin into it.

When people are discontent they tend to vote out the party in power. The fiasco in Iraq, and 2008 economic melt down. for which there is more than enough blame to go around, brought us Obama, the Covid Hoax ushered in the Age of Biden. Carter ushered in Reagan, Obama gave us Trump. Will Biden be the new FDR, riding mismanagement to reelection, or Carter, whose mismanagement opened the door to the end of the Cold War?

When is the "moral superpower" Canada going to save us from the Russians? You are trying to propagandize Americans to support a World War when you know that as a Canadian you probably won't have to fight. Unless of course Biden offers a ton of our stolen money to buy Canada's involvement.

The problem is that every treaty requires some level of TRUST, and now that most of the key Western leaders that Putin dealt with have admitted lying to him, at least regarding Ukraine and NATO expansion, why should he trust anything they now claim to promise?

nobody is “forcing” Putin to do anything

if he starts a nuclear war, the responsibility will be solely on him

just like he’s solely responsible for starting this war

How do you define “irresponsible”? Kiev previously sold ASCM technology to Iran and China, and also assisted NK ICBM program.
Is it a responsible player?
There is more to it from the geopolitical angle.
