Yesterday I posted on the possibility of Russia nuking Ukraine over Ukraine’s hitting Russia the same way they’ve been attacking Ukraine. The Russians are very unhappy with that, so now they fired off an actual ICBM at Kiev. It wasn’t nuclear, it was loaded with conventional explosives, they did it to say that the next one will be nuclear in the hope of stopping Ukraine from defending itself so forcefully. UPDATE on this… now they’re saying it might have been an Intermediate Range, not Intercontinental, but I don’t see the difference, it still is the kind you use for nukes.
What Putin is trying to convince Ukraine and the world of, is that either Ukraine goes belly up and surrenders or they’ll destroy the country. My guess is that Ukraine will tell them to get lost, and respond with even more and deeper strikes into Russia with American and British long range and highly accurate missiles, because they don’t think Putin will be stupid enough to do it.
I think he is stupid enough. Dictators know how to hold onto power, they just never know how to wield it. Venezuela is a wonderful example of how to take over a country and then stupidly transform it from the richest nation in South America to the poorest. Putin’s drive to recreate the Soviet Union is going to result in the end of Russia if he doesn’t stop pushing it.
Also, pushing the point, please keep in mind that the goal of the Globalists is the end of national boundaries and to achieve this, nationalist governments must first be replaced with Globalist ones. The US, EU and UK are now in the Globalist fold. The real battle is ideological between the Eastern and Western hemispheres, but that’s another subject for later. I mention it because, right now, what’s going on over there is the effort to bring Russia in on the Western Globalist side.
Another UPDATE: US Strategic Command (STRATCOM) Rear Admiral Thomas Buchanan said yesterday that the US is ready to use nuclear weapons if necessary.
“Maximize the advantage” of US interests. Maximize the advantage. I know what that means, do you? It means to hit the enemy as much as possible, as quickly as possible.This sounds like the US is saying to Putin, if you use one nuke then you’d better use all of them.
No wonder Elon Musk is so anxious to start a Mars colony.
