Summary

Russian lawmaker threatened the U.S. with total destruction on state TV after reports that the Biden administration authorized Ukraine to use American-made ATACMS missiles for strikes deep into Russia.

Gurulev also claimed Russia could destroy NATO allies England and France with a single nuclear strike.

Meanwhile, Russia intensified its offensive, launching massive airstrikes on Kyiv and deploying 50,000 troops, including 10,000 North Koreans, to the Kursk region, though facing heavy losses.

    Secondly, I’d say that as plans to get the US to not escalate with Russia go, a preemptive nuclear strike against the UK and France probably is going to be pretty counterproductive.

    I love how dry and understated this comment is. Also, I’m pretty sure if russia decides an overt attack on the US, Biden can simply not hand over powers to avoid confusion. I don’t think Biden would do that because if he had enough of a spine to do that, Trump would have already been in jail. Details.
