Where will the Russian retaliation take place? I say the Russians have already called the next Oreshnik shot.

MOSCOW, November 21. /TASS/. The US missile defense base in Poland has long been considered a priority target for potential neutralization by the Russian Armed Forces, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated during a briefing.

"Given the level of threats posed by such Western military facilities, the missile defense base in Poland has long been included among the priority targets for potential neutralization. If necessary, this can be achieved using a wide range of advanced weaponry," the diplomat said.

Zakharova stated that the US-NATO construction project, ongoing for nearly a decade with complete disregard to Russian security concerns, has consistently been a focus of Russia's attention. She emphasized that Russia has spent these years preparing countermeasures in response.

Zakharova described the establishment of such a base as yet another blatantly provocative move, calling it part of "a series of deeply destabilizing actions by the Americans and their North Atlantic allies in the strategic sphere."

"This move aligns with the longstanding and destructive practice of advancing NATO's military infrastructure closer to Russia's borders," the spokeswoman stated. "Such actions undermine strategic stability. Coupled with other harmful military-political and military-technical measures aimed at projecting US power thousands of kilometers from its own territory to exert pressure on Russia and other nuclear powers, this inevitably heightens strategic risks and, consequently, raises the overall level of nuclear danger," Zakharova added.

President Trump can’t be sworn in fast enough.

Biden is a turnip. His handlers want to escalate. They may not want a nuclear war, but they may get one.

A fascinating sentence from the Ukrainian media you source:
" The Institute for the Study of War found about 200 military targets within range of ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles."
Sounds like the "officially" non-NATO Ukraine and non -NATO Russia will be at it for a while longer. Lockheed and MDBA will be getting contracts for more, as will whatever Russian manufacturer makes theirs. Business is business, and war is a good business.

Just my guess but I don’t think Trump being president is going to work out so well for Putin.

By my count this is the third non-“zeeper” post this morning, would this be considered spamming FR with PROPAGANDA?

Yup. They should have a say in whether they do this, given the likely consequences.

Yep. Blaming Biden is like blaming the turnip that someone has thrown through your window.

We seem to be witnessing some sort of premature coup.

The Obama/Soros cabal is going to have to be dealt with, one way or the other.

BlackRock will consolidate the Ukrainian territory and resources it has swindled from the Ukrainian people. Never doubt that the lure of stealing mega trillions in Russian resources will motivate BR’s DC warmongers to continue the pressure on Putin.

The Uniparty has ensured for itself TRILLIONS in bloated profits for the MIC with its newly minted, multi trillion dollar, generational Cold War.

The Japanese did not grasp the situation, nor did Hitler in WWII. Ukraine is being used as cannon fodder by Biden in his insane quest to harm Russia.

Zelinski spends so much time outside of Ukraine it is easy for him wage war as he globe hops first class. Zelinski made a statement this in the past night that stated words to the effect that Russia is moving at a fast pace against the AFU and also in Kursk, and that Trump has to do something to slow the Russians down and Ukraine needs the conflict frozen.

Ukraine is going to fire more missiles in the 18 hours and Russia is going Bitch Slap Ukraine. The latested Ukrainian drone strikes which precede a missile strike as testing the air defenses around the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant. Rinse and Repeat - These fatalistic Ukrainians are using “Checkers tactics in a Chess match”

Oh yeah, that new Cold War frontier that must be armed and maintained stretches from the Barents Sea to the Black Sea.

$$$Cha-ching$$$ MIC!

--- "By my count this is the third non-'zeeper' post this morning, would this be considered spamming FR with PROPAGANDA?"

Another fascinating comment for this thread.

Do you consider posting an RBC-Ukraine article as spam and/or propaganda? An article which cites the Wall Street Journal and the Institute for the Study of War as proving this to be "non-'zeeper' " spam?

This seems a novel, new taxonomy.
