Checking the source, this was just published today. Assuming this is very recent, Russia will see this.
No doubt this is the kind of nazism Putin refers to. I suspect the Cuban missile crises still ranks as the closest to nuclear war we've ever been, but that record may be exceeded in the near future.
I brought this up to someone the other day and their response was “Who cares?”
What they do not realize is who is pushing this war and why. I think in all honesty the world is poised for another war and the devastation that will come from it will make every war before it look like amateur hour.

Able-Archer '83 probably takes that prize, but it was little known.
Able Archer 1983: Brink Of Apocalypse
Launch warning events start at about 28:00.
“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”
I was in the army then, in 83, stationed in Germany with a digital communication hub that we rumored among ourselves was a prime target for a nuclear hit. But we never heard of this.
I don't think US Intel knew what really happened until the fall of the USSR in the early 90s. As I recall, Col. Petrov was harshly punished for failing to follow the launch orders. I think he was redeemed later, post USSR.

Do you think the commies shot KAL 7 down to assassinate Congressman Larry McDonald?
One of the people killed on KAL 7 was Hyong Ung “Billy” Hong, a local Tae Kwon Do master who was well known here in South Carolina and in Korea. www.hongstaekwondo.com /history.html

A conspiracy type thing I read way back in '84 suggested that the flight was intentionally misdirected by our CIA as a way of testing Soviet air defenses. The article suggested the coincidence of the 2 points where 007 entered Soviet airspace -- first the southern tip of the peninsula and again after passing over whatever sea is to the west of that peninsula -- matched overflights of the area by a US spy satellite. How the flight could have been off course as a matter of accident was never really determined or solved.
Of course knowing what we know now some 40 years later about what our gov is capable of....

I don't know, but it seems like a stretch. If memory serves, 1983 was one disaster after another. Cold War tensions were very high. 1983 was Reagan's "Mr. Gorbechev, tear down this wall" year, I think.

As I recall KAL007 was a flight from San Francisco to Tokyo. On a flat map, I think the flight path looks like it comes nowhere close to Russia, but on a true globe, the Great Circle [shortest] Route takes you very close, if not into, to Russian airspace. Given that GPS didn't yet exist, it may have been simple navigational error. It seems likely that there may have been some other mitigating circumstance, like wind, weather, avionics malfunction, etc. involved.
