All this nuclear sabre rattling from Putin is getting old. He knows full well the first time he uses nukes he'll set off a chain reaction he doesn't want. Couching it in terms of his "friend" saying it doesn't hide for one minute where it came from.
The last movement in Ukraine we've heard in the past several weeks was Russia advancing in an area that apparently doesn't give them a very big advantage. A person has to wonder if his top military advisors, such as they are, haven't told him this war of attrition isn't going very well.

NOTE: Why would the US still have an embassy in Moscow if we truly believed all the crap that 'experts', 'unnamed officials' and 'the Biden administration' are saying that Russia/Putin is doing or saying? www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-withheld-russia-intel-it-had-terror-plot-due-adversarial-relationshipUS Withheld From Russia Intel On Terror Plot Due To 'Adversarial Relationship' The US did not share all the information it had about a terrorist plot in Russia ahead of the shooting at a concert hall outside of Moscow that killed over 140 people, The New York Times reported on Thursday. The paper said that the "adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented US officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods." more at link

I didn't have time to watch it all, but from the first few minutes it's clear the NATO countries have decided to put Russia/Putin on notice that their support of Ukraine isn't waning.
The Ukrainian strike on the Russian drone factory well inside the Russian border is a very good sign. This war has come down to "stand-off" attacks, and the fact that the Ukrainians are winning that strategy, with help for its supporters, might further put Putin in a box both militarily and domestically.

Unless cooler heads prevail, we're heading towards WWIII.

"Jake Sullivan believes" Can you say fear mongering? They are trying to gin up support for a 'first strike' by the US on Russia. They are playing with fire.

NEXTA @nexta_tv Britain, France and Northern European countries are preparing to send troops to Ukraine, - US State Department consultant Edward Luttwak said in a column for the UnHerd portal
In his opinion, NATO countries will soon have to send troops to Ukraine anyway, otherwise the alliance will be forced to accept a "catastrophic defeat

www.lewrockwell.com/2024/04/james-howard-kunstler/vectoring-dangerously/Vectoring Dangerously By James Howard Kunstler Kunstler.com “Strategic ambiguity requires strategic capabilities. Otherwise, it’s just make-believe.” — Lee Slusher on “X” If your situational awareness is well-tuned, you can put together a political weather report from the swirl of events that otherwise seem to confound the degenerate simps who pretend to report the news. Events are tending in the direction of self-reinforcing, ramifying chaos, and the people running the show are obviously insane as they do everything possible to hurry chaos along. Case in point: Antony Blinken, our Secretary of State, who announced yesterday that Ukraine will get rushed into NATO ASAP. Do you understand that would mean a direct, automatic, peremptory declaration of war against Russia, requiring all of NATO — that is, their combined militaries — to go kinetic inside Ukraine and theoretically inside Russia, too, (a move that has not worked out well for anyone in all of history), because Article Five of the NATO charter states that an armed attack against one is an attack against all, and must be answered with counter-attack? Thus, you see, Mr. Blinken just announced World War Three. You might also consider that NATO does not have the capacity to fight that war. The European members don’t have sufficient troops and equipment, or financial reserves for that matter. And there is, of course, America’s under-recruited DEI army of transsexuals and video-gamers, with equipment that has already proven inadequate on-the-ground in Ukraine, and a logistical route for delivery of all that which runs 5,000 miles across an ocean and then another continent. . . whereas our opponent (Russia) is right next door to the battlefield and churning out munitions like there is no tomorrow (which there might well not be for all concerned). Even Adolf Hitler, the last fool to attempt a conquest of Russia, wouldn’t like those odds. And why would Russia desist from firing hypersonic missiles at Berlin, Paris, London, New York and. . . ? You get the idea. In which case the USA, backstopping NATO, would lob swarms of our nuclear missiles into Russia. . . and the whole shootin’ match ends up twenty minutes later a smoldering, civilization-ending mess. Smooth move, Tony Blinken. In political weather terms, this is like an arctic shear cutting across the northern hemisphere. At the same time, you might notice a financial la Nina forming out over the salty sea. Gold chugged up above $2,300-an-ounce the past ten days, a record. That’s a coded message from Reality Central. My de-coder ring says it means the bond market is about to fall on its ass, taking the dollar down with it, which would swiftly domino into the way-overpriced equity markets, and Gawd knows what kind of maelstrom all the derivatives flotsam would get sucked into. Notice, too that Bitcoin goes up $3,000 one day and down $2,000 the next. Kind of sketchy. But that’s just my take. If you have one, I’d like to hear it. In any case, it looks like stormy financial weather which, if nothing else, is not exactly an advantageous accompaniment to a world war. In fact, it could beat a path quickly to something like empty supermarket shelves — and you know what they say about a population being a few missed meals away from anarchy. A whole lot more at link

Ozarks Tom, sunny225, farmgirl, No he said Ukraine would be invited into NATO eventually. "BRUSSELS, April 4 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday that Ukraine will eventually join NATO as support for the country remains "rock solid" among member states. "Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership," Blinken told reporters in Brussels." Here's the thing. Many nations are blocked by one other member for years; Sweden just waited 20 months. Croatia started applying and it took 9 years. Nothing is certain except Blinken is an Idiot.
