Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

It all works out very nicely for Trump here

• Russia won't retaliate even if they could, as they don't want to upset the new incoming favourable relationship with the Trump administration
• Putin's military will be weaker when Trump tries to persuade him to negotiate
• By rolling this back later, Trump can be seen as de-escalating, and doing this seen as a concession

Some info coming in, Russia has claimed Ukraine has shot US missiles onto Russian territory. Claims they were all shot down and the fragments caused fires.

To translate: The country invading it's neighbour with long-range missiles has been hit back with long range missiles

And to translate for Putin's supporters here: WW3 is about to start because the US caused Russia to invade another country

No i read about it on the internet. It is readily available if you take the time to look for yourself. that is why the UK cannot use the storm shadow without US permission

NATO and Europe are supporting Ukraine, ergo any bullet fired from any Ukrainian can be described by the Kremlin as "NATO-assisted".

Which they need to feed into their narrative that NATO is "at war" with Russia. Which sounds better than the truth which is that Putin has invaded a European country, and other European countries are naturally supporting that country.

Your AI generated article from a questionable publication rests on this paragraph

“Under the circumstances, a US/NATO weapon that navigates through sovereign Russian airspace, using guidance signals beamed by US military satellites, to strike a target in sovereign Russian territory could be deemed as an act of war against Russia by the US/NATO.”

Let me point out that Russian missiles and drones using Russian satellite signals repeatedly not only traverse but strike NATO territory as happened in Romania and Poland, so if NATO takes the same stance as Russia you better bend around and kiss your rear goodbye

How do you know that Astro ?

Start WW3 in time for Trump presidency

Ultimately the fear is that he could "launch nukes". I get that fear, and there has been chatter that he was allegedly close to using battlefield nukes at one stage (pinch of salt) however as others have mentioned, the key problem is China. Threatening nukes affects them and they don't want it. This was very clear from the sudden drop in that nuclear threat rhetoric from Russia after key meetings with China.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Russian equivalent of the Defcon alert to be raised, plus various other nuclear sabre-rattling.

There are also plenty of other nasty things Putin can do, however he's already doing most of them to some extent anyway. It's just a continuation.

My chief worry was an "accident" at the Zaporizhia plant, however Ukrainians are in range of the Kursk plant - so Russia may be cautious with those games.

It's a case of wait and see if Russia fires a warning shot on some part of UK now that the UK and Usa are guiding these long range missiles to their targets , Ukraine may pull the trigger, but it's the US and UK manning those missiles

What can Russia do, spell it out, otherwise your post is nothing but vague fluffy load of nonsense

There is no escalation path which doesn’t result in Putin and Russia getting hosed in return

He has finally backed himself into a corner

Are these really long range missiles , or just short range tactical missiles.

A long range missiles should go at least 1000- 2000 miles.

According to internet folks it's about to be intercepted

That visegrad isn’t a legitimate source. Up there with RT with the shite they spout.

yes, but she's a typical small-elephant-sized vatnik woman. It may be only 2 storey building but heavy weight and gravity will do the trick.

I just wish the West wouldn't constantly announce these steps in advance. Just give the green light quietly and maintain the element of surprise. Why does everything have to be broadcast in advance, leading to the inevitable tedious nuclear war/escalation rhetoric that every bloody news site is broadcasting as if it hasn't been heard 100 times before?
