    “The DoD has no comment on remarks supposedly made by a private citizen to a Russian news outlet.”

    A retired colonel? Who gives a shit what a has-been nobody from a 20 year old administration has to say? What, are they going to do, interview me next for expert testimony on Canada because I carry a hockey stick?

    It’s not like Russia needs permission to attack NATO anyway, Putin just needs to decide if he wants it or not and can figure out whatever justification he desires.

      A lamed duck president taking the US into a war against the biggest nuclear superpower in the last weeks of his admin without congressional approval is pretty noteworthy.

          It literally did happen, as far as Russia is concerned direct attacks by NATO have shifted the nature of the conflict
