Russia’s nuclear doctrine would extend to annexed Ukrainian territories, Lavrov says
The Russian military doctrine – including the rules of nuclear weapons use – would extend to Ukrainian territories Russia is currently looking to annex via sham referendums Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Russian news agency Interfax on Sept. 24.
US stores many of its tactical nukes in theater (NATO) in shelters underneath the hangers, in which the vehicle to deploy them are stored. Fun fact. Speaking about the B61 which can be dialed up beyond tactical levels if needed.

This video's interesting in relation to that. it's probably nothing and sound though....
Probably a false flag exercise carried out by Russian Special Forces. I’m sure Moscow will blame the west but I don’t see much reason and logic for the US or any western country for that matter to carry out the attack. These pipes are deep and it took underwater vehicles and some demolition experience to do this, not a part time would be warrior.

May have already been stated, the new 1B "package" is funded under the 14B authorization in the Spring, think of it as another withdrawal against that previously passed congressional funding bill.

Why need a $12B dollar new bill if there's still money in the other pot? Why did they reject Rand Paul's amendment to look at wheres the money going?
Good question, but I think that's a political conversation regarding why or why not amendments were approved.
Regarding the new request, some specifics are here as to where it would go. A portion is resupplying us as Ukraine has obviously drawn down some of the US stockpiles for specific arms.
Congress wants more details on latest Ukraine aid request
Multiple senators on Tuesday said that they want reports and briefings on Joe Biden’s new $13.7 billion funding request for Ukraine.

Your article's not about the current deal. Wounder why they included energy in this funding when they just passed $60B in the "inflation reduction act"Good question, but I think that's a political conversation regarding why or why not amendments were approved.

It's also nice we are funding Ukraine's government while we have massive debt ourselves.
I think they are but fact check me for sure. My guess is the 2B for energy is more towards hardening out posture domestically through the Winter including support for NATO allies. If you think natural gas is high, just wait.

Well that's the only information we have as what's in the article to this gift to Ukraine as the $4.5B and $2B are not loans.
