US Gives Green Light for Launching US Missiles into Russia
▪️Strikes would require US intelligence and targeting data as well as the possible use of US “contractors” to prepare missiles for fire, essentially US strikes on Russia;
▪️Reuters claims the decision was made based on still yet-to-be verified claims of North Korean troops inside Russia, not Ukraine;
▪️The US proxy war on Russia aims at causing maximum damage for Russia, not aiding Ukraine in victory – this decision was made knowing Ukraine will likely suffer the full brunt of Russian retaliation;
▪️Russia reserves multiple means of escalating including eliminating all Ukrainian shipping in the Black Sea, the complete destruction of Ukraine’s power grid, as well as a greater mobilization of Russian manpower and industry – all politically easier in the wake of what are essentially US missile attacks on Russia;
Russia has said it will respond to what it will consider attacks by the West itself.
Just as Russia has done in Syria, it has set the bar high but reserves the right to manage escalation with practical considerations in mind.
Russia is winning the war and will respond in a manner that will contribute to continuing to win, not provoke a wider war with NATO in Europe simply for the sake of revenge.
Deterrence is a consideration, but if Russia ultimately wins this conflict, that in itself serves as a form of deterrence.
For the US, it sees Ukraine AND Europe (and all other “allies”) as fully expendable if it believes it can ruin and remove its adversaries including and especially Russia, Iran, and China. Russia surely understands this and the trap wider war in Europe represents.
