It was indonesia. They're the hosts this year.
Oh, well, as the host I can understand them keeping everyone on the list and if I understand the article correctly then this was actually suggested by Biden and Indonesia has decided to take the option.
To be honest, I'd rather have Russia have commitments later in the year than not, gives an incentive to maybe stop shooting you know?

"Russia’s most famous journalists and “experts” saying on state TV that nuclear war with NATO maybe wouldn’t be that bad after all since the Russians will go to heaven, while the Westerners..."
So these "journalist" idiots are going full Jonestown.

Facepalm. This is just gonna bring a certain prophet back yelling about nooooooks again ain't it.
What's the consensus on these nuclear threats? Obvious bluff? Clearly a nuclear strike wouldn't ultimately be to Russia's benefit, but then neither was invading Ukraine.
Pfft...after seeing the antiquated hardware and poor condition of almost everything Russia is using, Putin would have to throw every icbm in the air and hope a few come near a particular target.
I don't know about any kind of consensus, but what I think is that the nuclear threats are all talk, and nothing more. Russia might go for other dirty tactics, like chemicals, but not nuclear.
And while the invasion is bad for Russia as a whole, it's not going to topple the oligarchs. They will remain rich and powerful. Which is why I don't think nukes are going to be used, because that's pretty much a guarantee they will lose their life of luxury, something I doubt they are willing to piss away like that.
