Recent news in The Guardian reported that Ukrainian President Zelensky is seeking permission to use Anglo-French’s long-range Storm Shadow (SCALP-EG in French) missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia. These “demonstration attack” will then show the Kremlin the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg are vulnerable, and this could force Russia to the negotiating table.
When asked by a journalist about the above report, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the West was seeking to escalate the Ukraine war and was looking for trouble in considering allowing the Ukrainians to use those long-range weapons to strike deep into Russian territories.
Lavrov was speaking at the press conference in Moscow on Tuesday after his meeting with Yemeni Foreign Minister, where he pointed out the attitude of the Americans who assumed that should World War Three happens, will affect Europe only. They have a shallow mentality as they are confident the US continent will be saved on the other side of the ocean. They believe in their own safety and security as the Ukrainians and Europeans will do their dirty job and die on their behalf.
The on-going conversation among the Western leaders including the use of American long-range weapons to defeat Russia is like small children playing with matches – this is a very dangerous thing for adults who are entrusted with nuclear weapons.
In the face of the current situations, the Russians are making adjustment to their own nuclear doctrine. Lavrov did not elaborate on this statement but we could assume he is referring to making conditions easier to use nuclear weapons against the US and Europe.
Ukraine Incursion into Kursk, Russia
On August 6, Ukraine launched a surprise incursion into Russia’s southwestern province of Kursk, in the first ground invasion of the country since World War Two. Assisting the Ukrainians are British, Polish and French mercenaries.
The purpose of the operation was to capture Kursk and then the adjacent province of Belgorod. Later, during peace negotiations (possibly mediated by President Trump?), Ukraine could trade those lands for lands captured by Russia in the Donbass (Ukraine) regions.
Several days after the incursion, U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham visited Kyiv. In high glee he spoke to the media and called the operation, “bold, brilliant and beautiful. Keep it up! Kick Putin’s ass.” He added that he will urge the Biden administration to provide Ukraine with long-range weapons to fight Russia in a fight that Ukraine can’t afford to lose.
Do It Right the First Time
The US and NATO are using Ukraine as proxy in their persistency in seeking for the strategic defeat of Russia. Even though Russia could easily end the war by flattening Kyiv in particular and Ukraine in general, it appears there is hesitancy. Why?
1) Ukrainians and Russians are Slavic people. Many Russians have relatives living in Ukraine, and vice versa.
2) Although Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine, it is an ancient historic city for the Russian speaking world.
3) Russia is not interested in a regional war with the European Union instead wants to do business with Europe.
4) The root problem is not Ukraine but the US who in a hegemonic struggle for dominance over Russia.
5) By raw numbers, the population of the 32 members of NATO totaled 974 million vs. 152 million for Russia and Belarus. Thus, Russia can’t fight NATO in a conventional war.
Hence, what is coming is a nuclear war between Russia and NATO. It is highly unlikely Russia will use nuclear weapons, even tactical nukes, on Ukraine to avoid radioactive contamination of lands so close to Russian border. However, we already know Russia will cut off the head of NATO which is the US by launching massive nuclear strikes on the US continent from several directions. It is said that in one day, the US will become a third world nation. Then, Russia will nuke France and the UK.
Understand that nuclear war is not the end of civilization. Not at all. Although billions will eventually die from it, the world will continue to spin on its axis. In fact, the world in this corrupt form will last for another 1000 years.
