Over the weekend, the situation between Ukraine and Russia (and thus by default the U.S./NATO and Russia) has deteriorated rapidly. After Ukrainian president Zelensky apparently called for a peace between Ukraine and Russia, Donetsk was rocked Friday night by explosions that destroyed meat processing and packing plants. Saturday April 10th, the Russian FSB foiled a terrorist plot to unleash bombing attacks all across Crimea. By Sunday, Turkey - a NATO member - had violated the Montreux Treaty which gives them control over the Bosporus and Dardanelle straits but forbids the passage of warships not belonging to countries bordering the Black Sea by allowing the United States to send naval warships through the straits and into the Black Sea. Russia then closed all its borders and travels to Turkey. Simultaneously, NATO began war games of 40,000 troops on Russia's borders. Dubbed "Defender-Europe 2021" the war games simulate an invasion of Crimea and a nuclear strike on Russia itself. Russia has responded by launching war games simulations in 101 training locations across the country and some Russian towns have begun preparing for mass burials of the dead.
On Tuesday April 13th, Russia dropped its previously diplomatic language of "our American friends" and "our American partners" and the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister and the Minister of Defense declared America an adversary, an enemy. They warned the U.S. Navy that if they planned to enter the Black Sea they had best keep their distance if they "know what's good for them", otherwise every plane and drone will be shot down and every ship sunk.
For someone who only four short years ago had such vivid, powerful dreams about a nuclear conflict between the United States and Russia, this current situation is surreal and terrifying. Time may be short. Do what you need to do now.
I'll leave you with this video of Tulsi Gabbard on Tucker Carlson talking about the danger of this situation. This is why she ran for president in the first place but sadly she was shouted down as a Russian apologist and a Kremlin agent. Wait until the Mach 8 (over 2700 miles per second) missiles start raining down.
