Has Biden taken us closer to nuclear war?

Whatever happens before Trump takes office.....
It will be called all Trump's fault.

What kind of a dumb ass county has almost two months before the new president takes the job anyway?

Should age play a role in the validity of a contract?

So why do the English still harp on about the "Magna Carta"?

Indeed. When an employee is fired he is escorted to the door immediately by security, for good reason.

There is none. The ideal situation for weapons manufacturers in the US, and the politicians in their pocket, and our Russia hating State Dept, is an endless conflict where the money keeps flowing, Russia is weakened but never defeated, and only meaningless Ukrainian and Russian lives are lost.

Some people consider 2009 to be 'Ancient History'. 😆

2009 Joint Declaration by Russia and the United States

Russia and the United States released a joint statement in 2009 confirming that the security assurances made in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum would still be valid after START expired in 2009.

Yeah. Imagine Russia restraining its sovereignty to ... just Russia. What a hellscape that would be. 😆

Anything to possibly interfere with/prevent Trump getting back into office. They don/'t want to be investigated.

Had to check; thought it was Metal Brain with such a hysterical overreaction.

Allowing US made missiles to hit military targets a couple of hundred miles inside Russia and supplying Ukraine with land mines are hardly measures likely to trigger a nuclear conflagration.

They are attempts by the US to enhance Ukraine's bargaining position before Trump pulls the rug out from under them. After that, we'll see whether the Euros want to pick up the slack.

I know they’re not part of NATO.

You do realise that Putin is a cracker, don’t you?
Now, I personally don’t think we should be waging a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine; to be honest, the Ukranian regime is not my cup of tea. I’ve made this clear from start.

And Russia has no end game which is going to end well for them, I’ve pointed this out multiple times since their invasion as well.

However, there are arguments to be made in stopping Putin’s expansion, and making China think twice about attacking Taiwan.

And draining their resources is a serious way of hemming them in.
How many Russian troops have died so far? 500.000 - 800.000. That’s half a generation you’re talking about. How many will be traumatised. Already troops returning from combat are beating up their partners due to PTSD.
How much ammunition has been used, how much armor destroyed?

These are the things that matter.
Russia, no matter how succesful they are in capturing land, is not going to invade anyone else for the foreseeable future. Way too costly.
And that’s basically neutering Putin’s expansion drift.
