Col. Douglas Macgregor Explains the Extreme Seriousness of the Situation

US ranking military officers are expressing readiness for nuclear war with Russia.  They are making policy statements that the Russians are taking seriously.  

I suspect that the Russians are on hair-trigger. For 17 years they have experienced increasing hostility and provocative actions by  Washington and NATO.  Every one of their protests and warnings have been ignored.  In the face of such determination for war, it is becoming impossible for Putin to see a peaceful outcome.
