    The war in Ukraine could escalate into a direct confrontation between the U.S. and Russia, according to the Pentagon.

    General Gregory Guillot, the head of the U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) issued the warning to the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee.

    In a written statement to U.S. lawmakers, Guillot said that more than three years on from the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion there are “several plausible pathways” in the which the war could escalate into a direct military conflict with the United States.

  2. There is no chance of that Donald Dick is totally in love with the terrorist putin.

    Show one piece of evidence that the Dick has gone against russia.

  4. It will not become Russia and USA are on the same side till GOP in power

  5. No it’s ok, Donald Trump said he would broker a peace agreement in a single day, remember? He must have just not tried yet.

  6. And? Being afraid of confrontation with Russia simply means that we will be owned by them. You either stand up for yourself and the world, or you’re on your knees to the folks who may not even be stronger, but are simply WILLING to take some pain.

    We SHOULD be in direct confrontation with Russia. If we stood up and acted like the superpower we are this war would be done already.

  8. trump will capitulate immediately.

    That his supporters see him as being tough is just ridiculous.

    He talks tough, as bullies do. Any real challenge and trump tucks tail and hides.

    We have to assume that trump has already sold the most vital & sensitive national secrets to the FSB. He doesn’t care about anything besides money & himself.

  10. This will not happen as long agent Krasnov is around!

  11. Good. Hate that we have been left out of the empty threats. Why should UK and Finland get all the fun.

  12. The oval office spat and part of Trump’s campaign was based off of wanting to avoid such a confrontation. Although I am not convinced by the merit in which that is based – it seems more plausible Trump would do what he could to appease rather than confront.

  13. If the US didn’t have the weakest, most cowardly, and most corrupt president in its history, Putin would be the one terrified of that possibility.

  14. Isn’t this already happening? Russia’s been f’n with the US for quite some time now. And russia seems to be winning.

  15. As if.

    Maybe direct contact as US troops head over to Russia’s side to fight for them.

    The orange criminal is Poutines bitch.

  17. Its been going for three years…why all of a sudden its an issue? Especially with Trump being Putin’s buddy now?
