I know the usuals will scream escalation, but Russia has already left that door open, by attacking directly from Russian soil (as if there is a difference) in Kharkiv they bright this issue to the limelight
It would be like trying to win ww2 without attacking Germany or Japan directly and leaving it up to the French resistance and the Japanese resistance (😂)
Hopefully the Ukrainians had a plan for this day and can hit the Russian stuff across the border with everything they have before the Russians can pull it all back.
With that said, if the stuff is destroyed and/or they have to pull back several hundred kilometers their Kharkiv offensive is more trouble
It’s not America’s fight.
“Russia has already left that door open, by attacking directly from Russian soil “
All that was left was the identification of American Satellite and Intelligence coming from the Pentagon to Ukraine.
Now that Russia is identifying the Pentagon as providing information directly, this is an attack from American soil.
The targeting data provided by the Pentagon is required as Ukraine has no source to obtain this information. Additonally Britan and France have already admitted that they use their own contracted personnel to handle their missiles and they themselves provide the targeting data and loading the missiles.
We are entering the phase where something has to give.
We will witness some type of damage to Poland, Romania, Ukraine and possibly French/British/USA interests because we are adding a level of technology to the war that is highly classified and to which the Ukrainians are not privy.
One step Russia may take is to do something they have never done in this war, which is to target all the bridges in Ukraine; the second is to completely knock out the electlical and power grid. Without electric Ukraine cannot use trains or provide the necessities for it’s population. Without bridges it will hinder every aspect of Ukrainian economy and military.
Russia has also withheld using its full military strength to date. There are over 700,000 military personnel in Russia that have not joined the nearly 500,000 currently working in the conflict.
In July Russia will graduate over 300,000 soldiers, and if they actually divert 30,000 to Syria..., and divert 20,000 to Africa..., the damage to US/French in those regions may be severely damaged.
The US is in serious dipomatic trouble. Saudi Arabia was going into Brics. The US is tyring to keep them in the US orbit with the F-35 and giving them a Peace Conference this fall.
I imagine that the vacuum in Africa created by Macron’s failed diplomacy and being run out of several countries may result in the enemies of France getting support from Russia and expanding the “proxy” conflict there.
Biden has serious problems going into the election - now China and Russia are taking 2/3s of the world population in one trade bloc with a Gold Based trade; the US has gone to war with Iraq and Lybia over plans to implement Gold Based currrencies - our Empire is based on fiat which is printed in increasing amounts to conduct military operations worldwide in support maintaining compliance in our trade bloc system. Biden has started the isolation of America and the collaspe of the EU economies.
