The drift to nuclear war continues. There is one school of thought that Putin will use food and water as continual weapon to break down NATO resistance. Then there is the line of thought advanced by Dr Peter Pry, that Russia does not accept the Mutually Assured Destruction idea on nuclear war, and indeed has a policy of escalate to de-escalate, to launch a strong nuclear attack to show that they mean business. Whatever the initial conspiracy behind this all was, it is likely now that things could spiral out of control. An initial nuclear strike by Russia will certainly lead to NATO launching its own nukes, and then it is on, and over pretty quick. The rules of the game of war have been thrown out of the window, so now anything goes, and is possible.
