U.S. intelligence agencies believe that Russia is likely to retaliate with greater force against the United States and its coalition partners, possibly with lethal attacks, if they agree to give the Ukrainians permission to employ U.S., British and French-supplied long-range missiles for strikes deep inside Russia, U.S. officials said.
The intelligence assessment, which has not been previously reported, also plays down the effect that the long-range missiles will have on the course of the conflict because the Ukrainians currently have limited numbers of the weapons and it is unclear how many more, if any, the Western allies might provide.
The assessment highlights what intelligence analysts see as the potential risk and uncertain rewards of a high-stakes decision that now rests with President Biden

Deep State doing all it can to help Putin’s regime avoid total defeat.
“U.S. Intelligence Stresses Risks in Allowing Long-Range Strikes by (NATO)”
Other than starting a nuclear war it’s hard to see much downside to the plan.
“Interesting…the Deep State overthrew the Ukraine Government and started a war with Russia to help Russia?”
One can make that claim. After all, Russians, particularly the younger Russians, were being lulled into the Western ‘Cafe Lifestyle’, while the older Russians were getting more and more discredited, continuing to claim that the West was out to destroy Russia.
Now, 35 years of hard work by the Globalists was DESTROYED there, and those younger Russians now know that the old generation was right, all along.
In the end, Russia wins (or no one wins), and Russia will be a larger, and FAR MORE PATRIOTIC country than they were, even 3 years ago.
So yes, the Neocons helped Russia, TREMENDOUSLY - regardless of their obvious idiocy.
Risks? I would call it insanity.
Keep poking a bear, dc could end up a radiated swamp.
Malicious bears that are an ongoing menace to people around them get shot
Let’s hope this stupid bear learns to get along peacefully with his neighbors, before something tragic happens to him
Ask Hitler and Napoleon how poking the bear worked out for them.

What are they supposed to do? Simply sit back and take the missile attacks that WE provide and program? At some point, Russia might give us a taste of what it feels like. We need someone like Trump to negotiate peace terms before things get completely out of hand.
Ya think?
folks here seem happy with it in general. maybe they were promised a bed in the bunker? one would hope they would understand this might not be a sincere offer.
that said, the paycheck/belief quote applies. but I think half of them don’t believe anything they write.
Putin could have the Russian military turn Kiev into a parking lot.
Video floating around of Ukrainians, in Kiev, just casually living their lives, regardless of all the men and boys that died or injured on the battlefield.
There’s a reason Kiev is still standing.
Living in a fake world must suck.
As a Russian, almost nobody but a few mentally ill Soviet diehards truly believed the west was out to destroy Russia into rubble just because. Everyone knows this nonsense is mafia versus mafia.
And most Russians including the wealthiest oligarchs prefer the western mafia to the Russian one. Even with the west’s problems, the level of actual freedom and living standards are still beyond compare for average citizens. Nobody gives a damn about patriotism, they just want to live well in peace.
The Russian mafia regime simply felt threated by their neighbors becoming westernized and the average standard of living across their border going up. Baltic States, Poland then Ukraine all flipping to the west. It was only inevitable the same would happen in Russia so they are lashing out with violence like a mafia always does when losing members...
Those myths were good two decades ago. Baltic states are ghost towns nowadays with slums all around business districts. Did you see Western coties comared to the Russian?
“Malicious bears that are an ongoing menace to people around them get shot”
There you go again. Easy for you to say. It won’t be your butt on the line.

Gaslighting. Russia has nothing. Everything is tied up invading Ukraine. The could use nukes, but that would be suicidal. No scenario with the use of tactical nukes avoids going to full scale nuclear war, which is suicide for both parties.
You guys keep bringing up that animal analogy ... so, we’re just thinking it thru to its logical conclusion
