This crazy bastard. How can you drag out the war in Ukraine then gear up to kick the wasp nest?

Psycho indeed.

This is more than just posturing from the dickhead in Moscow. Here is some analysis on why this matters. (e: note, old article)

ПТН X̆ЛО

The SS-26 Iskander missile has a range of approximately 400 to 500 kilometers, or about 250 to 310 miles. It can carry a variety of warhead types, including earth penetrator, high explosive, or thermobaric. Export models have a shorter, 280-kilometer range (about 175 miles), and a smaller 480-kilogram payload (nearly 300 pounds), while the Russian service standard payload is 480 to 700 kilograms (300 to 430 pounds).

I think someone did the math wrong

I’m sure it’s just posturing, and a sternly worded communication will be sufficient.

So if China starts making any moves that confirms WW3 is about to start.

J. Mearsheimer have been saying for months that today is more dangerous than the Cold War.

I wonder how smart was from europeans to follow US leadership for the last 50 years. Before it was the cuban missile crisis, now there are ballistic missile launchers in the heart of Europe ⬆️🇺🇲🇪🇺⬇️
