Okay, so things are now getting very interesting on the Ukraine front.
President Zelensky has apparently been getting hit butt whooped as of late, so he is begging NATO to step in.
Now, Russia’s Defense Minister is putting NATO nations on alert that Russia considers them a direct threat, in essence, declaring war against any NATO nation that dares to interfere.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu is not admitting defeat, but he is admitting that the attack on Ukraine may have backfired on his country.
It has united and expanded NATO, exactly the opposite of what Russia wanted to happen.
Shoigu now considers NATO a major threat to Russia.
He particularly went after the United States, saying it “is steadily raising the stakes, seeking ever more long-range and deadly weapons from its allies.
“These threats to Russia’s military security require a timely and adequate response.”

“NATO is more united right now than it has been in decades.”
Welcome to our new forever war, my friends, and possibly the very early stages of WWIII.
