Nuclear strategy and ending the war in Ukraine. It is time for bolder efforts to make peace in Ukraine. War, like fire, can spread out of control, and as President Putin keeps reminding us, this particular conflagration has the potential to start a nuclear war.

Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 147. Russia’s offensive in Ukraine’s Donbas region continues to make minimal gains as Ukrainian forces hold the line, British military intelligence said. Russia is laying the groundwork for the annexation of Ukrainian territory, using the same tactics as it did in Crimea in 2014, according to the White House.
Ukraine faces difficulties getting Western weapons to front lines. Western weapons are now in action in the battle for Ukraine. But getting them into operation on the front lines is creating serious headaches for Ukraine’s military.
Russia says peace in Ukraine will be on its terms, strikes multiple targets. A senior Russian security official said on Tuesday that peace in Ukraine when it came would be on Moscow’s terms as Russian forces struck targets across the country with missiles even as their ground offensive stuttered.
NORTH KOREA THREAT

i Hear echoes of the ghost of Neville Chamberlain. We saw where that led.
Give Ukraine the means to blow away all the Russian troops and equipment that are both inside their country and those assembled along the border. Putin may be crazy but even with that he’s not stupid. Does he believe that the west would not respond if he uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine? He knows full well that if he used nukes his own country would suffer the same fate.He’s finding out, and the world is seeing, that the Russian troops and weapons are not as formidable as they thought they were. With the right weapons Ukraine can drive Russia out of their country.
