Scott Ritter: US Threats to Greenlight Ukrainian Attacks on Russia Could Spill Out Into Nuclear War, by Ilya Tsukanov

Say that Russia didn’t docilely go along with this. Has anyone in the U.S. government thought about the consequences if Russia were to take off the gloves? From Ilya Tsukanov at sputnikglobe.com:

House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCaul added fuel to the fire of escalatory rhetoric swirling around Washington on Wednesday regarding restrictions on Ukraine’s use of American long-range strike weapons, trotting out a map during Secretary Blinken’s testimony showing areas of Russia hundreds of kilometers from the Ukrainian frontlines that weapons like ATACMS and HIMARS could hit.
