Note the situation. The U.S. as the aggressor versus Russia for all the thermonuclear marbles. A rogue element within the U.S. military decided this was necessary.
Up until Tuesday evening’s election results this was a real possibility. Except it wouldn’t have been an underling’s decision to go to war with Russia but rather the President herself.
