And as I've pointed out on a number of occasions, this was unthinkable during the Cold War.
The idea that we would allow one of our allies to attack into Russian territory, it's just not in the realm of possibility during the Cold War.
And the idea that we would let one of our allies with assistance from us
attack one leg of the strategic nuclear triad of the Soviet Union was again unthinkable.
But here we are in the Ukraine war and we've helped the Ukrainians to invade Russia.
We've helped the Ukrainians to attack the strategic nuclear triad of Russia.
And also, it seems that we helped the Ukrainians launch a decapitation attack against Putin.
It's not for certain, but it certainly looks like that.
And you really wonder what the United States and what the British are thinking when they help the Ukrainians do this.
And of course, the Russians understand exactly what's going on.
And that's why the Russians are deeply committed to reestablishing, or maybe I should say, establishing deterrence and making it clear to the West and to the Ukrainians that this just has to stop.
And to make it stop, they're willing to go up the escalation ladder.
And then, of course, the question, as we've been talking about, is whether or not they're willing to use nuclear weapons and break the nuclear taboo, so to speak.
