The idea of sending Nato troops in to be targets in what has become a well oiled Russian killing machine: I think Mercouris recently mentioned 1500 casualties in one day is insanity...as likewise it is for the Ukrainians presently...surely they must see they are being played murderously and that the inevitability of Western policy is "Delenda est Ukraino"?

They were joking .. of course. There is no other possibility. So, bluster and hot air .. Micron has an election relatively soon. It's droll really, sans nuke bits.
