Russia has been warning for well over a year that NATO and the US are risking a nuclear confrontation. During the summer of 2024 Putin then observed that Russia was being attacked by NATO military systems that Ukraine had neither the expertise nor targeting infrastructure in place to actually pull off.
Putin then went on to observe that this is the same as if NATO itself was attacking Russia and that henceforth Russia would consider the use of Western-supplied systems against it as an act of war.
Then Trump won the election. Everything should have changed. But it didn’t.
Instead, ‘the Biden administration’ – whatever and whoever that means – chose to provoke Russia further by authorizing the use of US-supplied long-range missiles deep into Russian territory.
This was announced on November 18th, 2024, and it was less than 24 hours later that the headlines changed to this:
So, despite all the increasing warnings to ‘not do that,’ the US led neocons simply couldn’t resist the temptation to risk another world war with a nuclear superpower. What could go wrong?
The truly inexplicable part of all this, at least from a common sense and logical standpoint, is that there’s no articulable upside to authorizing this next level of provocation. Nobody believes lobbing a few missiles will do anything at all to change the course of the war in Ukraine’s favor. But, on the other hand, everybody may suffer if the war spins out of control and leads to a major nuclear conflagration.
There’s no upside, it’s all downside.
