The United States Challenges Russia to Nuclear War

America’s message in this to Moscow is: now is the time for you to quit defending Syria’s Government, because, if you don’t then you will be at war against the United States.

President Donald Trump Close Up

Now that the United States (with the cooperation of its NATO partners) has turned the former Soviet Union’s states other than Russia into NATO allies, and has likewise turned the Soviet Union’s Warsaw Pact allies into America’s own military allies in NATO, the United States is finally turning the screws directly against Russia itself, by, in
