Putin’s nuclear threat are a pathetic bluff. Actually, we need to hit Putin harder every time he does it. That articles lays out in detail why we should and must not back down.

Why Putin's Nuclear Gambit Is a Huge Mistake
Russia is losing in Ukraine, and the rhetoric of Russian leaders has recently become ever more apocalyptic. The United States and its allies should be prepared in case Russia goes down the nuclear path, but fear should not drive the Western response to Russia's nuclear bluster.

Ummmmm, welllll WTF does that mean. How can NATO demand something of Ukraine with a pseudo membership?‘We may have to make some difficult decisions in Kherson’ Meduza's summary of the first interview given by Russia's new top commander in Ukraine
Overall, the situation in the special military operation zone is tense. Our opponent is a criminal regime, while we and the Ukrainians are one people and want the same thing: for Ukraine to be a country that’s friendly to Russia and independent from the West. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are pulling all of their reserves, including untrained territorial defense forces, to the front; they’re effectively condemning them to destruction. Nationalist detachments are shooting everybody who tries to escape. Every day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lose 600–1,000 people to death and injuries. We’re not striving for a quick advance, because we take care of every soldier, and because this reduces the number of civilian victims. The situation in the Kherson direction is complicated. In the city itself, there are supply problems. NATO is demanding that Ukraine carry out offensive operations regardless of the number of casualties. We have information that Kyiv might use illegal methods of warfare. Our task is to save lives, and that’s why we’re moving the population out of the area. Our subsequent plans with regard to Kherson will depend on the situation. We haven’t ruled out making some tough decisions.

'Foreign intelligence': Russian drones spotted in Norway, seven pilots arrested • FRANCE 24
248,270 views Oct 21, 2022 Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store on Wednesday accused "foreign intelligence" services of being behind a recent slew of "unacceptable" drone flights in the country, indirectly pointing the finger at Russia. Earlier Wednesday, Norwegian police had announced the arrest of a Russian -- the son of a close confidant of President Vladimir Putin -- accusing him of illegally flying a drone in the Svalbard archipelago, located in the geopolitically strategic Arctic region.

A far-right GOP faction is urging sharp cuts to US aid to Ukraine, which would cut the legs out from under Ukraine's efforts to retake its territory.

Ya just know Vlad is gonna do it, so prevent his troops and quislings from escaping Kherson and make them pay a price for it. If the Ukrainians attempt a river crossing south of it or try to take it, they would blow it up, so shower it with 155mm airburst, if they try to use it or if anything moves on it. They will end up drowning a lot of their droops downstream of the dam too and cutting off those left on the flooded side of the river who would have to surrender to the Ukrainians.
Considering the state of their army and troops, a drive to the sea of Azov by the Ukrainians would force them out, divide them and threaten the Kerch bridge. Blowing the dam would flood one of the two routes into Crimea and if the Ukrainians got to the sea of Azov, they would threaten the other supply route to Crimea and the southern front with HIMARS. The Ukrainians would not need all those troops around Kherson with the Russians running from a flood and surrendering, they could soon concentrate on other fronts.
