The United States and NATO have their own intentions in using Ukraine to confront Russia. Some newspapers are exaggerating the incident to make people believe that World War III is about to happen. But no, the United States will never let that happen because that is not their goal in this war, their goal is to weaken and exhaust Russia.
Although that's the goal but that also is the same as being close to a nuclear war (WW3). We are just one mistake away from nukes starting to fly and Russia is going to directly attack United States because the missiles they were talking about are American and are controlled and launched by American troops against Russia.
If that happens, Russia, US, Europe (including Ukraine) will all be wiped out and the rest of us have to live the with the consequences of a nuclear war on our planet...
Watch what this US intelligence officer says about it:
https://youtu.be/Ypk75F1jB0A?t=854I agree that as long as the war is not over and becomes more and more intense , the fear of nuclear war will become more and more present. But in my opinion, neither the US nor Russia wants that to happen because they know that both will be wiped off the world map if a nuclear war breaks out. Especially the US , as the world's number one power , they will not sacrifice themselves just for the safety or survival of a country like Ukraine . That is why the war has lasted for 3 years but they still have not provided Ukraine with the most modern weapons and have not allowed Ukraine to attack too deep into Russian territory .
Both are top nuclear weapons states , no one understands better than them the consequences if nuclear war happens , it will not be like WW II , nuclear war will not give us the chance to start over and rebuild everything.
