UPPING THE ANTE ON A HEAD FAKE

by Bob Walsh

Putin announced today (Sunday) that, due to the "aggressive actions" of NATO he is ordering his nuclear forces to an increased level of alertness.  Unless he is truly demented he can't seriously think that NATO is going to nuke him over the Ukraine so, IMHO, it is pretty obvious that he is trying to shake out any weak sisters that might be out there arrayed against him, and get the west to back away from the sanctions.  You never know, it might even work.  Joe the Hairsniffer didn't even want to sanction Putin personally until he got shamed into it by some of the E U countries.  

I do know that, assuming he wasn't lying, it does increase the possibility of some major whoops going seriously bad seriously fast.  Russia's command and control over nukes isn't nearly as good as ours from what I've heard. 
 
So, is Senile Joe going to do likewise?  Damned if I know.
