Russia MoD said they are on the verge of a direct armed conflict with the United States.
Ukraine fired HIMARS into Russia, hitting a military target. 7 dead, 40+ wounded soldiers.
Ukraine is doing what they promised Joe they wouldn't do. The irony.

Russia has spent the better part of 500 years being Europe/ west whipping boy.
Believe they have had enough.
The one and only way to stop NATO ambition, one needs to take its head off, (US).
Take out the major decision maker, NATO crumbles. Sad fact.
Lavrov, Putin have stated this already.
That has me concerned a bit.
What is the actual red line we shouldn't cross? Did the HIMARS cross it?
putin already said THE red line would be the united states in direct conflict with russian soldiers. it's getting closer...
Not happening without Chinese involvement. Possibly others. They're not in position to move without China. Or another flank providing the opportunity. Could they strike at somewhere else. An escalating question. It's like a high stakes poker game. How much are they willing to gamble and will the other player fold. Unlikely. But they'll keep raising it. The pot is blowing steam. Despite the gas being off.
It's not about redlines anymore. Because they don't exist. Where are they? Obviously don't hit Russia. Okay that's Red. But hitting them in the Ukraine, is still debatable. I mean what have they done about it. Hit Ukraine more. Irony.
Hence the previous tactical debate.
