This clown has a point. Russia can choose to interpret the fighter jets transfer to Ukraine as an act of war and go after NATO. But I doubt that Putin has the balls to take NATO on a conventional war without a green light from China.

Despite Putin's threats, I doubt that he wants a nuclear war. He will most definitely not have a kingdom to rule at the end of it.

People are confused about how bloody war can be. Russia is losing men and material at a fast rate, but have captured territory and crippled Ukraine as a state.

Russian historically absorbed casualties in war and still won them.

I guess USA wants to monitor RF comms as MiG-29 fly in Ukraine airspace to know if Russia enable some remote kill switch.
