"My great concern, is that there will be an error, some miscalculation, that could serve as the trigger incident."

You and me both. Like I said, the Russians will finally do something so outrageous that all the cool collected serious thinking in the world won't matter.

There. Are. No. Easy. Answers. Here.

That is the correct answer. That is why this is so dang tough. War has muddled and changed. And it’s why, TC, many including myself, have asked you, a military historian, to iron some of the wrinkles out of this current war scenario. As R Dooley correctly muses, it’s the trigger incident, and one is all it might take, that seems to be the “do not pass go”card.

I am asking constantly for fortitude and flint and foresight in our leaders.

Thank you for all of your knowledge and willingness to inform.
