Playing Nuclear Chicken with Putin By James Reed
The West is playing a dangerous game of chicken with Putin, who has made it clear that it will be war with NATO if the missiles that they are giving to the fanatical President Z are fired into Russia. I cannot see any situation where these longer-range missiles are not used. The Ukraine is right next door to Russia, and it will be difficult for Russian missile defence systems to stop attacks. Some such as Mike Adams see this all as a conspiracy to destroy the US, and the West by forcing Putin to make retaliatory strikes, like a civilian example of death by cop. This seems to be little more than an act of suicide, but today, strange things are happening and I would not dismiss this dire scenario out of hand. In 2019, who would have thought we would be going through the plandemic, and its aftermath of possible global mass vax injuries and deaths?
“Fake president Joe Biden — who was never legitimately elected to the Office of the President — is now accelerating his planned destruction of America by provoking Putin into a retaliatory strike against US and NATO targets. This was all confirmed over the last three days as cited in numerous sources below.
BACKGROUND: The illegitimate Biden regime has promised to send HIMARS weapon systems to Ukraine, claiming that Ukraine has “given assurances” to Washington D.C. and promised the weapons won’t be used to wage attacks against Russian territory. This has been widely reported across the corporate media.
Despite those assurances, a high-level Ukraine spokesperson (see below) said they would break that promise and use the HIMARS weapons to attack Crimea, a region that has long self-recognized as territory of Russia (although Ukraine disputes this and claims Crimea belongs to Ukraine). “Ukraine Says It Might Use U.S. Weapons to Invade Russia,” reports ModernDiplomacy.eu, writing:
On June 1st, when the White House announced that it would be sending to Ukraine weapons that might be used for invading Russia, Jonathan Finer, deputy White House national security adviser, said Washington had asked Ukraine for assurances the missiles would not strike inside Russia. On June 3rd, Ukraine’s Government rejected that request.
At the time when Biden made that announcement on June 1st, Reuters noted that, “Biden announced the plan to give Ukraine precision HIMARS rocket systems after receiving assurances from Kyiv that it would not use them to hit targets inside Russian territory.”
Then, as reported by RT, Ukrainian official Alexey Arestovich broke that promise:
Kiev may strike Crimea, a Ukrainian presidential aide says, despite assurances US weapons won’t be used to hit Russian territory.
Ukraine will use US-supplied rocket systems to strike into Russian territory should it deem such attacks necessary, Ukrainian Presidential Adviser Alexey Arestovich said on Thursday.
Both Russia and Ukraine consider Crimea to be their own territory.
Putin promises to retaliate against US / NATO cities.
If Ukraine uses the US-provided HIMARS weapons to strike Russian territory, then Russia will respond by deploying new long-range weapons against new targets which may include US or NATO cities or military bases. This was reported by The Epoch Times over the weekend in a story entitled, “Putin Warns Russia Will Strike New Targets If US Gives New Missiles to Ukraine.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 5 warned that Russia would strike new targets if the United States were to supply longer-range missiles to Ukraine.
“If they are supplied, we will draw appropriate conclusions from this and use our own weapons, of which we have enough, in order to strike at those facilities we are not targeting yet,” says one translation of Putin’s remarks. That translation, however, is at odds with another translation that clarifies Putin means “new weaponry” will be used to strike targets “that have not yet been struck,” which seems to mean beyond Ukraine.
Putin is potentially leaving his comments somewhat vague, and translations may vary. You can see the Fox News pro-war interpretation of Putin’s warning here:
Keep in mind that with a few exceptions, Fox News is just a mouthpiece of the military industrial complex, just like CNN.
Putin is likely not bluffing
Joe Biden is a cognitively retarded puppet. Putin is a high-IQ strategic genius. It’s not difficult to see where this goes if Biden keeps poking the bear. First, Putin isn’t bluffing. Furthermore, Putin can strike targets across Western Europe at will, as all of NATO has zero effectiveness at defending against Putin’s hypersonic missiles, hyperglide reentry vehicles and Sarmat II ICBM missiles.
To anyone who thinks NATO can stop Russia’s missiles, they must be asked: Why hasn’t NATO stopped Russia’s missiles in Ukraine, then?
Using these platforms, Putin can potentially unleash fuel-air explosives (sometimes called thermobaric bombs), EMP weapons or even tactical nuclear weapons against targets in Poland, Germany, France, the UK or even the United States.
By delivering HIMARS weapons to Ukraine and watching Ukraine use them to attack Russia, Biden is handing Putin the military justification he needs to escalate his retaliatory attacks against NATO targets, since NATO would be directly involved in the war against Russia if Ukraine uses NATO weapons to attack Russian territory.
Remember, too, this is on top of America’s military leaders openly bragging about providing the satellite imagery and targeting solutions that allowed Ukraine to sink a Russian flagship in the Black Sea.
Is achieving World War III Biden’s real goal? Is he deliberately attempting to provoke Putin into a retaliatory escalation in order to unleash a true world war before the midterm elections in the USA where Democrats are widely expected to be politically clobbered? We think so, but that’s just the current assessment, and it’s subject to change as circumstances warrant.”
“Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 5 warned that Russia would strike new targets if the United States were to supply longer-range missiles to Ukraine.
Giving new weapons to Kyiv only aims to “drag out the armed conflict for as long as possible,” Putin told state-run media, adding that after longer-range missiles are sent to Ukraine, Moscow will draw the “appropriate conclusions” and strike facilities it hasn’t targeted.
“If they are supplied, we will draw appropriate conclusions from this and use our own weapons, of which we have enough, in order to strike at those facilities we are not targeting yet,” the Russian president also said in response to statements issued by the White House about supplying multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) to Ukraine, according to a translation.
Several days ago, President Joe Biden confirmed that the United States would send more advanced rocket systems to Ukraine after Kyiv’s request.
A “new package will arm them with new capabilities and advanced weaponry, including HIMARS with battlefield munitions, to defend their territory from Russian advances,” Biden said in a White House statement on June 1.
“We will continue to lead the world in providing historic assistance to support Ukraine’s fight for freedom.” HIMARS refers to High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems produced in the United States that can hit targets up to 300 miles away, depending on the type of rocket.
Ukraine has been seeking multiple launch rocket systems such as the M270 and M142 HIMARS to strike troops and weapons stockpiles at the Russian forces’ rear.
A senior White House official told reporters from several news outlets on May 31 that the United States will send “munitions that will enable the Ukrainians to more precisely strike targets on the battlefield from a greater distance,” while claiming that Ukraine gave assurances that its forces wouldn’t strike targets inside Russia.
On June 5, meanwhile, Russian forces struck Kyiv, the capital, for the first time in several weeks, while Ukrainian officials said a counterattack on the main battlefield in the east had retaken half the city of Sievierodonetsk.
Ukraine said Russia had carried out the strike using long-range air-launched missiles fired from heavy bombers as far away as the Caspian Sea, a weapon far more valuable than the tanks Russia has claimed to have hit.
“The Kremlin resorts to new insidious attacks. Today’s missile strikes at Kyiv have only one goal—kill as many as possible,” Ukrainian presidential adviser Mikhailo Podolyak said on Twitter.
During the same interview released over the weekend, Putin also said that Russian anti-aircraft troops had taken down numerous Ukrainian weapons and were “cracking them like nuts.”
Underscoring the number of weapons being supplied to Ukraine, Spain’s government authorized sending anti-aircraft missiles to Kyiv, government officials told the El Pais newspaper on June 5. Spain would also provide training in how to use the new weapons, according to those officials, who said that would take place in Latvia.”
