Well, "Putin puppet" worked over and over from 2016-2020, and they were calling him "Hitler" at that time as well. Trump is weak, stupid and easily manipulated.
"Peskov was also asked whether an address from the Russian president was expected, and what orders he had given in connection with the reports. The president's position on strikes deep into Russia was clearly and unambiguously formulated in St. Petersburg, Peskov noted, and suggested revisiting those words of the head of state. Putin then said that the use of Western long-range weapons to strike the country "would mean that NATO countries, the United States, and European countries are at war with Russia."
Russia's position, according to the president's press secretary, must be clear and understandable to everyone. The "collective West" was counting Moscow's signals, he added.
The number of missiles is tiny, and only one or two have a small chance of getting through the Russian air defense system, but they could get lucky.
Therefore, Russia's reaction will be proportionate to the damage caused, as was the case before. The "retaliatory strike" will be directed at Ukraine. However, If the Russian General Staff decide they have to attack NATO logistics outside of Ukraine, they will.
Maybe you can write a little bit more or give some links? I have good knowledge how Western electricity nets are built. But this is for sure some old Soviet style net, isn't it? Back in the days of the Soviets, there must have been connections, was this equipment upgraded? How do they manage to send power in both directions? The plan by the EU elites was to suck enormous amounts of electric power from Ukraine, now we have the absolute opposite situation; and it seems to work. Can our Western standard transformers be integrated in Ukraine net? And by the way, we have a supply shortage for big electrical equipment, e.g. synchronous condenser are not available, but to my understanding, such a part is central for this 750KV station (or am I wrong?).
Have been looking to visit Baku and the Caspian for a while. Hopefully, I manage next year. It is difficult to prove to people in Austria (who don't travel much outside of it) what beauty exists in the East, in the so-called third World.
Please allow me to question this - the RF has a great deal more leverage than the US
Otherwise the Ukraine does not exist any more in an autonomus political entity this is true - it's an empty bag full of US EU trash- but it has been that way for a long time
In fact it is the US which has no more leverage, and in the same sense as the Ukraine, no more political existence as far as this war is concerned - except as a ploy for internal faction fights, and as a burden to transfer onto the EU
It makes me laugh how they can write about "Russia's undeclared war" in the Middle East while Muttmerica and its European eunuchs literally just gave permisison to launch direct attacks on Russian territory. Granted that's like telling a man with two bullets left in his rifle that he is allowed to shoot a pack of angry bears, but it's so hypocritical and self-serving that I don't even have the words to properly describe it.
Who could ever forget the infamous presser with Joe and Olaugh when Biden declared the Nord Stream 2 would be stopped. Olaugh just stood there and didn't even move. It reminds me of the footage of George W with the schoolkids on 9/11. Same terror plot different target.
Imagine being a German citizen and being told by the media that the person leading your country needs permission from a dementia patient to call the President of Russia
Germany is an occupied country, just like Japan. They are not sovereign at all. Did you know in Japan there is a huge amount of airspace that only the US can use? It's a fucking joke that these countries think they are independent. It's like my 9yo son who thinks he is really independent
Funny you mention that considering the Soviet Union defeated both Nazi Germany and Imperial Nippon. Wink wink. Notice there aren't any Russian occupiers there?

Biden decided to provide Zelensky the US’ top secret target intelligence inside Russia to perpetrate terror attacks with no military value within Russia.

>Second: HIMARS have already been used all over Kursk, including on a Russian column some months ago. Both regular HIMARS missiles and ATACMS are fired from the same truck—so this new ‘authorization’ strikes me as a little strange. Though the NYT article addresses this:
Yes, and Russia has a very hard time removing the Ukro-NATO-Nazis from its territory as a result.
>Third: HIMARS, M270s and German Mars II variants have all been greatly attrited during the Kursk excursion of the past three months to the point that it’s questioanble how many units Ukraine even has remaining.
It's still flying daily. Pay close attention to the real-time sources.
>And that’s really all that matters, as they openly admit the ATACMS won’t actually do anything to change the war itself:
It in fact changes everything, and catastrophically so for Russia, as has been explained countless times.
The moment you allow missiles to fly freely over your territory, you are sitting duck for a decapitating and disabling first nuclear strike. Because you are supposed to launch on warning once missiles are fired at you as you don't know whether they are nuclear or not and you won't know it until Moscow is gone, and you also know that the enemy knows about that calculus too, and is thus much more likely to go nuclear in order to prevent your second strike. If you disable launch-on-warning so that not to "escalate", you become open to such strikes.
You also stop being a great power and become a Syria.
Would the US ever allow anyone firing missiles onto its territory? Do we even need to waste time answering that question?
>Trump takes office in two months and could presumably instantly roll-back Biden’s ‘deep strikes’ authorization, completely negating any effect by limiting their use to a tiny irrelevant window.
No, this is being done by Biden in order to free Trump of the burden of having to do it himself.
Iirc before the US Army stations forces inside any country they have to negotiate a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) with the host. One of the clause is that for any area of lands they rent from the host to build a base, inside that area the USA is the sovereign. It’s the same concept as Embassies. Therefore you can consider Al-Udeid airbase as US territory.
Ok, since you insist on playing word games, pretend rockets were falling on one or more of the 50 states. Surely the US would not display such "prudence"?
When you have to use the words "technically speaking" you've lost the argument. It's like Mormon teenagers claiming that they're still "technically" virgins since the guy didn't move his penis around after he stuck it in.
Bro just two more conscriptions until Crimea once we press gang the pregnant women and already amputated men to the front we will be knitting Vyshyvankas in Sevastopol.
There is a certain... how do I say, unfairness, that so many countries get to "participate" in the conflict (UK, FR, DE, US, etc) but there isn't even the remote possibility of a drone landing in someones apartment or a missiles hitting a port etc. Russia's error IMO, but what to do?
A hard time? That tiny Kursk pocket is being fed the blood of Ukraine's best. I think Russia has incentive to slow roll the inevitable, because it's making taking territory everywhere else much easier.
Indeed. Bidensky fed all the elite units and the best-equipped units - usually the same thing - into Kursk. Where they are hit from three sides. Looking at the map is chilling. How would you let people stay there surrounded on three sides? And it's all forest except for a few small towns.
I guess it is "a hard time" getting rid of them because there are so many of them with so much equipment in that forested area. But HITTING them is not difficult. Just that you have to do so much hitting.
Kind of like cutting through a hundred packages of butter is more difficult than cutting through one, but only because there are more of them, not because it would be difficult to cut through butter.
I can only imagine what experienced Ukrainian soldiers sent to Kursk are thinking. If peace came now and they got the chance to go to Kiev, I don't think Zelensky could feel safe.
Jumping the gun to nuclear strikes already!? I would suggest a saturation attack with ICBMs as a first nuclear strike, loading a couple of ATACMs and Storm Shadows with 450kg of nuclear warhead is fantasy at its best. Reality is unfortunately real, everyday.
You do understand that international law rules these conflicts.
I used to be rude to FF - but his notions are so bizarre and strange that I decided they are in fact representative of a significant layer of the US Governing Class, in all their gory
You make some good points. I'm not convinced by Putins talk of yet more red lines which the collective West regard as a bit of a joke.
The only consolation is that the West has a shortage of such missiles and does not have the industrial capacity to ramp up production of them. Plus the missiles which the AFU have already fired at Russia have had minimal impact on the war.
I must admit I cheer everytime I hear of a HIMARS system being destroyed like the one destroyed in the Zaporozhye direction the other day.
ATACMS do not carry nuclear warheads. Neither do Storm Shadow. F-16s can only carry gravity bombs - they do not have the ability to launch nuclear warhead missiles.
Russia can easily determine whether any incoming missile is likely to carry a nuclear warhead: if it's launched from within Ukraine, it's not nuclear. If it's launched from outside Ukraine, i.e., a Tomahawk from those Aegis Ashore installations in Poland and Romania, all bets are off.
2) Even if they didn't, there is more than enough space there to put nukes. Which is all that matters - you won't know what is in there until the mushroom cloud is rising.
>Russia can easily determine whether any incoming missile is likely to carry a nuclear warhead: if it's launched from within Ukraine, it's not nuclear
This laughable stupidity.
Much more so given that Russia already ate half a dozen nukes. Two of which came from Latvia, the rest from Ukraine.
Great article about a scenario that is starting to sound eerily apocalyptic. This reckless spiral, driven by shattered ‘red lines,’ underscores Biden’s relentless pursuit of entrenching U.S. hegemony at any cost—a strategy that has already defined his legacy with the genocidal disaster in Gaza and one that, if unchecked, risks culminating in nothing less than World War III.
Biden is doing it now so that Trump does not have to get his hands dirty doing it himself and control over the population can be more easily maintained with MAGA delusions
Why does it have to be Biden at all? Last time it was the Pentagon who told him no, and they're staring at Trump decapitating a decade's worth of treasonous brass. Game theory suggests playing differently.
Trump has never supported deep strikes. But what an impressive attempt to spread the responsibility to the man who isn't even in office.
Trump did give weapons to Ukraine, following the weapons Obama gave to Ukraine, but he disapproved of the Ukrainian aggression toward Donbass. It was Biden, after taken enormous bribes from Ukraine via Burisma and Hunter Biden, who gave Zelensky free reins to do what he wanted.
Zelensky's approval rating in the summer 2021 fell to almost 30%, same as Biden's fell. That was because he betrayed his voters by selling Ukraine's public land to the oligarchs and foreigners - and knowing ultra-corrupt Ukraine, that was done after getting bribes. 10% of all farm land was handed over to feed China's population. BlackRock, led by Biden's close ally Larry Fink, also got to buy land, and so on. Zelensky had campaigned on uniting Ukraine and fighting the oligarchs, but then he did the exact opposite.
Zelensky was sure to lose the next election. His main opponent was surging in the polls. So he decided to be a "war president," solving the Donbass Question once and for all. In the fall 2021 the constant artillery strikes against Donbass increased from about 20 to about 100 per day, as confirmed by UN observers. He amassed an army of 60,000 in the east. Then in February 2022 the strikes increased to more than 1,000 per day, even up to 2,000 per day, no doubt in preparation for an invasion.
This was all under BIDEN. He could have demanded a stop at any time. But BIDEN took bribes from Burisma, given to "board member" Hunter Biden. According to Hunter's autobiography he was busy drinking and doing drugs with prostitutes in hotel rooms at that time. The emails on his laptop, the news that the Democrat media buried, showed that he gives half of this kind of money to "the big guy," which his close associate has confirmed means Joe Biden. It's an ongoing bribery scheme. Ever since Hunter was made a high-paid "consultant" to an insurance company, in return for Joe supporting an insurance law that consumer groups opposed. Much like Hillary Clinton got enormous sums for "speeches" or donations to her Clinton Foundation from foreign governments when she was State Secretary - half of all who got a meeting with her first handed over bribes to her slush-fund foundation.
So Biden let Zelensky do what he wanted. Paid for.
It's a methodical Democrat scheme and now we are all paying for it.
In 2019 Arestovich said on camera that Ukraine was told that if they wanted into NATO they'd first have to start a war with Russia, which they'd easily win. The alternative was that they'd be totally absorbed into Russia within 10-12 years. Obviously, Trump was president then. Did Trump know about this.
Why does Biden care if he angers Russia? The guy is leaving and the bigger the mess he leaves Trump the better.
I don’t think we should take this lightly but not overblow its effect either. Russia will wait until it’s used before giving their response. Obviously the goal is to intercept all of them but regardless this gives the Russians the completely valid pretext to escalate their (asymmetric) response.

Hahahaha..... All Trump has to do is reverse the authorization and cut off all funding to ukraine. First day in office. The clock is ticking.
This assumes that Trump iwll do so. Call him "Putin puppet!" and he will fold, just as he did so many times before.
possible..... I hate the fake "liberals" and neocon republicans here so goddamn much that I lose perspective.
I detest all sorts of humans, but I also recognize that just because I want something doesn't mean it will happen.
That the good guys don't always win.
That the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
I don’t give a shit. I love watching them get destroyed.

It's not fun to get your ass kicked like the nazis and US war fucks in ukraine, is it? We hate your guts.
You do realise the front line is 1200-1300 klms long? How much ammo do you think is available?
Trump needs to urgently call Kiev and warn them of personal responsibility for the consequences of such attacks.

These guys practice delusion almost as much as the USniks do
But I do not think the EU and countries needed any help in not 'ramping' up or if so only enough to profit from Rheinmetall's pump and dump
Hahaha.... "soft killing"..... What on Earth is that? Not a lot of soft killing at the front. It looks like hard killing to me.
Killing us softly is quite apt - only those who practice it do actually kill, the US does not, is not capable, it's all a masquerade
Whenever I find myself stewing over the incompetence and corruption of our government, I think of those poor Europeans.
It's not just the EU but Britain also in that cluster****
Yes but even if EU gets it's way, as for Defence use of bond money, they still face the US problem, no weapons, no soldiers, no purpose
The cah may be raised by Russians are coming scary, but will be used to EU commission benefit - not for Ukraine except as lip service

Well, there was that one time Iran fired a bunch of missiles onto a US airbase in Iraq.
So Iran is firing missiles into US territory? Not an airbase in *Iraq*, but US territory?
Iirc before the US Army stations forces inside any country they have to negotiate a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) with the host.

Wonder how that SOFA with Syria reads?
Obviously they’re squatting illegally in Syria. I’m referring to the instances when there’s an agreement between USA and a host country.
Sounds like you're playing word games to make excuses for Russian waffling.
You say waffling. I say prudence. I have no wish to get into an argument with you about that.
Ok, since you insist on playing word games, pretend rockets were falling on one or more of the 50 states. Surely the US would not display such "prudence"?
Technically speaking any US military base IS US terroritory
When you have to use the words "technically speaking" you've lost the argument. It's like Mormon teenagers claiming that they're still "technically" virgins since the guy didn't move his penis around after he stuck it in.

This is the most telling part. Everyone making excuse after excuse for Russian waffling and indecision needs to answer this simple question honestly.
ATACMS do not carry nuclear warheads. Neither do Storm Shadow. F-16s can only carry gravity bombs - they do not have the ability to launch nuclear warhead missiles.
Russia can easily determine whether any incoming missile is likely to carry a nuclear warhead: if it's launched from within Ukraine, it's not nuclear. If it's launched from outside Ukraine, i.e., a Tomahawk from those Aegis Ashore installations in Poland and Romania, all bets are off.
1) Yes, they do. And have.
2) Even if they didn't, there is more than enough space there to put nukes. Which is all that matters - you won't know what is in there until the mushroom cloud is rising.
>Russia can easily determine whether any incoming missile is likely to carry a nuclear warhead: if it's launched from within Ukraine, it's not nuclear
This laughable stupidity.
Much more so given that Russia already ate half a dozen nukes. Two of which came from Latvia, the rest from Ukraine.
There was no reaction. What does that tell you?
"This laughable stupidity."
That describes every post you've ever made Ms moron
More moronery from the great moron.
Great article about a scenario that is starting to sound eerily apocalyptic. This reckless spiral, driven by shattered ‘red lines,’ underscores Biden’s relentless pursuit of entrenching U.S. hegemony at any cost—a strategy that has already defined his legacy with the genocidal disaster in Gaza and one that, if unchecked, risks culminating in nothing less than World War III.
Biden's legacy is flavored pudding, adult diapers, and the scent of pretty little girls.
He sniffs the ugly little girls too.
You forgot ice-cream cones. 🍦
Bags of rainbow flavored dicks
This isn't Biden's doing, it is bipartisan.
Biden is doing it now so that Trump does not have to get his hands dirty doing it himself and control over the population can be more easily maintained with MAGA delusions
Agreed that it is not just Biden.
Why does it have to be Biden at all? Last time it was the Pentagon who told him no, and they're staring at Trump decapitating a decade's worth of treasonous brass. Game theory suggests playing differently.
Trump has never supported deep strikes. But what an impressive attempt to spread the responsibility to the man who isn't even in office.
Trump did give weapons to Ukraine, following the weapons Obama gave to Ukraine, but he disapproved of the Ukrainian aggression toward Donbass. It was Biden, after taken enormous bribes from Ukraine via Burisma and Hunter Biden, who gave Zelensky free reins to do what he wanted.
Zelensky's approval rating in the summer 2021 fell to almost 30%, same as Biden's fell. That was because he betrayed his voters by selling Ukraine's public land to the oligarchs and foreigners - and knowing ultra-corrupt Ukraine, that was done after getting bribes. 10% of all farm land was handed over to feed China's population. BlackRock, led by Biden's close ally Larry Fink, also got to buy land, and so on. Zelensky had campaigned on uniting Ukraine and fighting the oligarchs, but then he did the exact opposite.
Zelensky was sure to lose the next election. His main opponent was surging in the polls. So he decided to be a "war president," solving the Donbass Question once and for all. In the fall 2021 the constant artillery strikes against Donbass increased from about 20 to about 100 per day, as confirmed by UN observers. He amassed an army of 60,000 in the east. Then in February 2022 the strikes increased to more than 1,000 per day, even up to 2,000 per day, no doubt in preparation for an invasion.
This was all under BIDEN. He could have demanded a stop at any time. But BIDEN took bribes from Burisma, given to "board member" Hunter Biden. According to Hunter's autobiography he was busy drinking and doing drugs with prostitutes in hotel rooms at that time. The emails on his laptop, the news that the Democrat media buried, showed that he gives half of this kind of money to "the big guy," which his close associate has confirmed means Joe Biden. It's an ongoing bribery scheme. Ever since Hunter was made a high-paid "consultant" to an insurance company, in return for Joe supporting an insurance law that consumer groups opposed. Much like Hillary Clinton got enormous sums for "speeches" or donations to her Clinton Foundation from foreign governments when she was State Secretary - half of all who got a meeting with her first handed over bribes to her slush-fund foundation.
So Biden let Zelensky do what he wanted. Paid for.
It's a methodical Democrat scheme and now we are all paying for it.
In 2019 Arestovich said on camera that Ukraine was told that if they wanted into NATO they'd first have to start a war with Russia, which they'd easily win. The alternative was that they'd be totally absorbed into Russia within 10-12 years. Obviously, Trump was president then. Did Trump know about this.
its the jew that runs the JewSA... matters not if zion don or biden
The Swamp is setting up a catch 22 for the Trump team to inherit.
Why does Biden care if he angers Russia? The guy is leaving and the bigger the mess he leaves Trump the better.
I don’t think we should take this lightly but not overblow its effect either. Russia will wait until it’s used before giving their response. Obviously the goal is to intercept all of them but regardless this gives the Russians the completely valid pretext to escalate their (asymmetric) response.
Warnings were given.
They will be kept.
