If this Armageddon is to happen, it must happen before January 20th. Trump will totally oppose Zelensky's escalation (and already has).

IMO, Trump will let Zelensky know - NOW - that any escalation will result in total withdrawal of US support on J20, at 12:01 pm EST. Further, that Zelensky will be - at best - exiled, and that Ukraine will not get US support for further existence. Putin will know that, also - and will not escalate to nuclear. He can absorb a missile attack (doesn't want one, and will rattle sabers), but he knows Zelensky's time is strictly measured. There are conventional (i.e., non-nuclear) ways of dealing with any attack by Ukraine.

The American people have spoken, and it is against escalation. If Ukraine takes some hits at the negotiation table, so be it. This last gasp of the military-industrial complex is just that - a last gasp (this isn't Biden - it's the flailing of the Shadow Government). Putin will threaten, but (IMO, anyway) is probably more afraid of nuclear war than we are. I don't see it happening. (But maybe I should get out my '50s backyard fallout shelter blue-prints - just in case?)

This rise of perpetual childhood is the result of NEVER facing consequences for one’s actions as a child. If these idiots had their behinds kicked when they were little for being bullies they wouldn’t have carried that tendency into their adulthood.
