In "Major Policy Shift" Biden Authorizes Ukraine's Use Of US Missiles To Hit Targets Inside Russia

Nothing like the dementia-ridden, deep state puppet in the White House greenlighting a little World War 3 on his way out to the glue factory.


Sunday, Nov 17, 2024 - 11:16 AM

In a move straight out of Louis "After me, the flood" XV, the outgoing BIden admin [Antony Blinken], in a seemingly desperate move to destabilize the global geopolitical picture, has authorized the lifting of some restrictions on Ukraine’s use of western-made weapons to strike military targets inside Russia, according to reports from Bloomberg and the AP. The decision was reportedly shaped by North Korea ramping up support for President Vladimir Putin’s army [those mythical N Korean soldiers in Kursk that nobody has seen yet] and an increase in Russian missile and drone attacks on its neighbor.

The approval represents a major U.S. policy shift and comes as the deep state-supported, dementia-ridden puppet Joe Biden is about to leave office and incoming President-elect Donald Trump has said he would bring about a swift end to the war and has expressed skepticism over continued support by the United States.

If approved, the capability would likely be used first in the Kursk region of Russia, where Ukraine is fighting against [phantom] North Korean troops as well as Moscow’s forces, the people said. Still, any permission, if granted, is unlikely to go as far as Ukraine has requested, one of the people said.

Dima, of pro-Ukrainian Military Summary Channel, has been talking about those North Korean soldiers in Kursk for at least three weeks.

Yet, despite the fact that he and his team dive into Telegram channels and Kiev news incessantly, and rely on geolocated videos to establish "facts on the ground" ... and despite apparent heavy fighting in Kursk ... he has yet to post even a fleeting image of a N Korean soldier in the Kursk fighting.

Or anywhere.

So this whole "N Korean involvement" is just a narrative to justify "USA involvement".

Don't forget that for long range missiles like ATACMS, Ukraine doesn't need USA "permission", it needs actual USA technicians to set the targets and program the missiles, using proprietary and restricted-access terrain mapping software.

Ukraine Becoming 'Global War' After Western Long-Range Weapons Used Against Russia: Putin

Thursday, Nov 21, 2024 - 09:30 AM

Update(1320ET): On Thursday President Vladimir Putin issued a stern warning in the wake of Ukraine launching long-range strikes on Russia's territory utilizing newly approved US and UK long-range missiles.

"Kiev has launched a long-range missile strike against military facilities located within internationally-recognized Russian territory," began his televised address by saying. He confirmed British-made Storm Shadow missiles and US-made HIMARS were fired targets located in Bryansk and Kursk Regions.

He said this action threatens to turn the Ukraine conflict into a global war. "A regional Ukraine conflict instigated by the West has acquired elements of a global one," Putin spelled out, and noted that these systems cannot be used without the direct operational involvement of Western military specialists.

But he went on to claim that the inbound Western rockets were intercepted by Russian defenses. "The goals that have apparently been set by the enemy have not been achieved." He suggested injuries among some personnel at a command center in Kursk, but noted it continues full operations. He also asserted that no Western systems can counter Russia's new missiles, on display earlier in the day.

"The use of such weapons by the enemy cannot affect the course of the situation in the Special Military Operation zone," Putin stressed.He also said it was a big mistake for the US to pull out of the the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 2019.

Can things cool prior to Trump taking office, or will Zelensky and the West risk bigger confrontation, to likely trigger Russian hypersonic missiles or even a tactical nuke? This is indeed an ultra-dangerous slide.

Update(1057ET): Ukraine's earlier claim that its territory had been struck by an intercontinental ballistic missile fired by Russia is being hotly disputed, hours after widespread reports first appeared. US officials are saying it appears to be a new intermediate-range ballistic missile and not an ICBM which targeted the central city of Dnipro

The NY Times has reported in follow-up of the attack that "several Western officials said that the weapon was not an ICBM and instead was likely an intermediate-range missile that flies shorter distances."

Zelensky himself had claimed Russia used a new class of missile. "All the parameters — speed, altitude — match those of an intercontinental ballistic missile," he said. "All expert evaluations are underway." But US defense officials are contradicting this:

A senior U.S. official said the weapon appeared to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile, adding, "But it is a new type we have been tracking."

US officials have also called it an "experimental" missile. There's also been some quibbling among experts are how to characterize the projectiles which were observed hitting Ukraine at incredibly high rates of speed, in terms of rocket size and distance.

Assuming Washington is correct, and that it wasn't an ICBM, this suggests Zelensky's hasty verdict is all about threat inflation coming at a time he's desperately trying to get the West's attention, arguing in favor of greater NATO military intervention against Russia.

SECOND Sure thing, Signym. Cutting off the electricity by shutting down the reactors is brilliant except that the coal industry has been disrupted by war, and as of 2024 over 70% of electricity generation is nuclear in Ukraine.

Honestly?
His wife did it.
Not only did he die very shortly after her visit, she's a cast iron bitch who inherited everything, snd who probably got recruited by the CIA.

Navalny alive in prison was a zero for our narrative. Navalny was worth more to us dead.

AFA this "palace" ... idjits bring it up every few years when they run out of bad things to say. So far, there isn't a scintilla of evidence that Putin even visited the place, much less lived there. And what's the point of a palace if you're never there?
