So, According to BBC World, the Otherwise Ineffectual, Even Fairly Incompetent, & Certainly Unimpressive, U S Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, Is to Head to the Middle East (Israel and Egypt Etc) Next Week 'to Seek to Help De-Escalate Tensions Between Israel and the Palestinians'

Yeah, right: while he and his hapless Administration do all in their power - I mean, ineffectual weakness - to meanwhile hasten/precipitate WW111 with Russia! 

What planet are these people on?!?!?!? 

I mean, really?!?!?!?

Call Putin a Madman - & He IS - As Much as You Like...But Please Don't Turn Around the Next Moment & Pretend That Such a Madman, When Pushed Up Against the Proverbial Wall & When Push Comes to Literal Shove, Won't Be Equally Irrational When It Comes to Launching Nuclear Weaponry Upon Ukraine and Ukrainians...

Whether so-called limited, tactical - or strategic - weapons, in the long-range, long-term consequences/ repercussions thereof it's all essentially the same. In such a scenario it's hard to not foresee WW111 as then being not all that far  - God forbid - away.
