I was watching Alexander Mercouris' video and he mentioned the partial media blackout near the start of today's episode (8 min or so) i.e., the 'key' part of Putin's statement (Ukrainians wouldn't fire long-range missiles because NATO personnel and NATO satellite intel required) is not part of media presentations there.

The first US thread I checked (Fox News) omits that key part.

• Putin warns US, NATO risk war with Russia if long-range strike bans lifted for Ukraine

So the Neo Con 'narrative' is that Russia is attacking Ukraine for 'no reason' and when Ukraine tries to defend itself, welp then Russia is at war with NATO. The Media is quoting sources which say, "Just let the Ukrainians defend themslves. Give them what they need to win."

The accurate message they'd have to say, if they ever told the truth is, "Just let our  US/UK military personelle fire their long-range missiles deep into Russia, so we can finally be directly involved in the war on Russia."

That's what Biden and Blinken want, war with Russia. The Pentagon says 'No' to those long-range missiles, or their personelle firing on Russia. But the Deep Staters are clamoring to get WWIII started.

I assume this could be the purpose for Keir Starmers’s visit. WWIII

Since Russia is using Chinese and North Korean weapons, is Ukraine at war with those countries? I seriously doubt weapons we provide require US personnel to operate them.

In my opinion, it sounds like more empty threats.

The “second point” was known and obvious.

You hardly have to talk for Putin or explain.

I guess your one of his PR agents.

Makes sense

FR is the forum to post Putin statements?

Do you live in RuZZia?

... US/UK allow Ukraine to fire long-range missiles deep into Russia, then they are at war with Russia.

What would we do if Russia supplied long-range missiles to Cuba and allowed Cuba to fire them deep into the USA?

Notice comment 4 and 5 are the exact same talking points.

You will have surveillance for your posts here. Take care of yourself.

Are you ready to meet your Maker, zeepers?

Are you people really that stupid you can't figure out what the next step is going to be after NATO fires that first missile into Russia.

Just because Putin said it takes Nato troops to fire the long range missiles into Russia goes not mean he is correct. Who is firing those missiles now into Russian occupied Ukraine area? That is correct, Ukrainians and they would be the ones who fire them into Russia also.

The second point – perhaps the most important, the key point even – is that only NATO military personnel can assign flight missions to these missile systems. Ukrainian servicemen cannot do this.

False point. We are to believe Ukrainians, who have shown themselves intelligent, adaptable, resourceful and quick to grasp the possibilities of technology, cannot learn enough to use missile systems available to NATO.

It is a serious flaw in the argument. It is so bizarre as to be crazy.

Maybe it would take a couple months to train Ukrainians. I doubt it.

What if Russian missiles landed in Washington DC?
