Progress to Nuclear Solutions Making Significant Changes to Attitudes Coming From Ukraine - Strategic Posturing from Tactical Positioning

No one could have expected how the Russian, who had no reason to say that territorial Russian sovereignty was under threat, until 'annexing' parts of the Ukraine and calling it 'Russian,' thereby coalescing in the Russian mindset that Russia was under attack and all resources necessary for defense were on the table. Is this not the definition of paranoid delusions?
However, apparently, there are many that are buying (using the power of the oil barrel) as much leverage in this game of thrones, which speaks to why the 46th American Administrative Chief Executive and his handlers might have an ulterior motive in refraining from engaging in the global control of the oil economy.
Giving it all away makes the shift of power from the American economy appear antithetical for sure: but to what end? It is a rhetorical question. The diluted American economy is now the focus of whether a nuclear threat can be expected and how will it be confronted if there is no real plan for recovery if and when utilized.
The restraints on the use of the nuclear option were expressed in American strength of resolve.
Where is that now?
Which of the confrontationalists (the alliances between Russia, Iranian Islamic Regime, Chinese CCP or North Korea) are in full prepardness to take on a global responsibility that the Russian appears ready to start? Desperation seems to be running in the background; when will it be fully reached?
