A Nuclear Threat

In his remarks announcing today's invasion, Putin warned the West that any intervention on behalf of Ukraine risked "consequences greater than any you have faced in history." Most observers interpreted that statement as a threat to use nuclear weapons in retaliation.

Here's a little reminder for you. After the 2020 election, Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the Pentagon and demanded assurances from General Mark Milley that he would stop any attempt by President Trump to use nuclear weapons. 

This was a constant theme throughout his presidency – the crazy, warmongering, tough Trump was going to get us into a war, and he couldn't be trusted with the nuclear codes. 

Well, we have the exact opposite of "tough" in the White House today, and we're at much greater risk of nuclear war.

Does anyone think it's just a coincidence that Putin seized Crimea under Obama/Biden, seized nothing under Trump/Pence and is now seizing the rest of Ukraine under Biden/Harris? 

Does anyone on the left see the pattern here? It's called war through weakness and peace through strength.
