Nuclear Thresholds & Provocations | Ridin’ the Storm Out | November 21, 2024

In this episode of Ridin’ the Storm Out, we examine the escalating tensions between NATO, Russia, and Ukraine and the global implications of recent events. We begin with the urgent warnings from two NATO nations about the threat of Russian nuclear strikes. How serious is the situation, and what does it mean for global security? Next, Jeffrey Sachs provides crucial context on how U.S. and NATO policies may have provoked the war in Ukraine. We then analyze the latest development: Ukraine’s use of six U.S.-made ATACMS missiles in the Bryansk region, following President Joe Biden’s easing of restrictions on American-supplied weapons. This act comes as the war reaches its 1,000-day mark. Finally, we discuss Vladimir Putin’s lowering of Russia’s nuclear weapon use threshold, exploring its connection to recent U.S. actions and what it signals for future conflict.

Join Pastor Paul Blair and David Hanan, Ph.D., as they navigate these complex and sobering events, reflecting on the moral, political, and spiritual implications of a world on the brink of more significant conflict.
