The Biden administration has greenlit the use of American long-range strike systems by Ukraine to launch attacks deep into Russia. This puts the entire planet in a “shockingly” dangerous situation, says former DoD analyst and US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski.
President Biden has knowingly or unwittingly brought the risk of a world-ending nuclear conflict much, much closer after listening to “neoconservative advisors who really don’t have a lot of perspective on the nuclear dangers that they’re walking into” instead of military specialists and okaying Ukraine’s use of NATO weapons to strike the Russian hinterland, Kwiatkowski told Sputnik.
“The big problem is that Kiev’s drones have [already] attacked Russian early warning systems that are designed as part of their nuclear defense.....I don’t think they damaged them, but this has been done. If American weapons, heavier weapons are used against those targets, this cannot help but be seen by Russia as a precursor to a first strike – a nuclear first strike. When you hit someone’s nuclear defense radars, their ‘eyes’, their defensive systems, in normal war strategy, you’re preparing a battlefield. So I don’t know if the Biden advisors in Washington really have a sense of this, because there are no military people up there that are talking to Biden about this, but it’s a very dangerous situation,” Kwiatkowski emphasized.
The Wall Street Journal has reported citing officials that Washington has greenlit Ukraine’s use of Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) rockets, as well as long-range artillery, for strikes on Russia territory.
Earlier, other NATO members, including Britain and France – which have sent long-range Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles to Ukraine, similarly gave a nod to Kiev to use these weapons to fire on positions deep inside Russia amid Ukrainian forces’ slow........

Hey all you globalists and neocons… WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
Well, Russia started a war on their border. Blow back was going to happen.
Same with nuclear war. Once the rest of Europe and the US decided to not let Ukraine go it alone, Russia was going to go nuclear.
But the calculation was Russia will not stop until they get the old borders back. The EU was not going to allow that to happen.
In all of the wars we’ve thrown over the years, how long would we tolerate Russia supplying, targeting, and directing missile attacks inside the continental United States, striking strategic air bases, radars to detect ICBMs, hitting our oil refineries etc?
But Trump will get us into WIII.
Biden admin has ONLY allowed Ukraine to use Patriot system to defend its city Kharkiv from Russian glide bombs that are hitting civilian targets.
US officials tell CNN it’s just a "partial lift of the ban" as it only applies to Kharkiv
- Patriot can strike RU planes in the air
- ATACMS not allowed
- Strikes on parked planes not allowed
At least 16 killed in Russian strike on hardware store in Kharkiv-May 25, 2024
WWIII
.......
"Depending on the breaks."
MaximumMucus is ecstatic.
In his case, it's both!
Putin is likely going to use one tactical nuke as a display of force - and final warning. I've long predicted he would put that on record before doing it, and he did it! What the morons leading us will do in response is a wild card.
Russians just CANNOT tell the truth if a lie fools more useful idiots.
Russia should fear it.
The maniac Putin is destroying his own country over Ukraine.
I don’t usually predict, but I’ll lay odds that before Russia gets into a disastrous war with NATO, Putin will be killed.
The response will be to devastate Russian forces in Ukraine. For starters.
In the last century or this one, have we ever invaded an adjacent country with the intent to annex it?
No, we just invaded Ukraine and annexed it. Then we set up shop there.
Sputnik is Russia state media. Always has been.
Sometimes you have to start WWIII to prevent WWIII.
“I don’t usually predict, but I’ll lay odds that before Russia gets into a disastrous war with NATO, Putin will be killed.”
I agree. It’ll be a .17 caliber heart attack.
LISTEN TO YOURSELF.
