Ukraine has carried out its first strike on Russian territory with US-supplied long-range missiles just days after the Biden administration gave Kyiv the green light despite fears it could escalate the conflict beyond control.
A fiery explosion at an ammunition depot in Karachev around 75 miles from the Ukrainian border in Russia's Bryansk region lit up the night sky early this morning on what is the 1,000th day of war in Ukraine.
Eyewitnesses along with Russian and Ukrainian military bloggers first reported the attack, with anonymous Ukrainian military officials later telling RBC Ukraine the strike was conducted with the US-manufactured ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System).

And then this morning:
President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday signed a revised nuclear doctrine declaring that a conventional attack on Russia by any nation that is supported by a nuclear power will be considered a joint attack on his country.
OMG Ukraine can fire a missile into Russia!! That isn't fair. Only Russia should be allowed to attack and Ukraine should just sit there and take it.
ReplyDeleteYou missed the entire fucking point, didn't you?
DeleteNot my country, not my war - until Biden pushes it.
Anon,
DeleteYou sound like your mother and father were sister and brother first.
As you apparently cannot read, and probably need a sippy cup, I can translate for you: Putin's Millitary doctrine is to--possibly--respond with a nuclear attack on Ukraine, and how does NATO respond? Ukraine is NOT OUR COUNTRY, they are not even an ally. I really hope you are an only child.

Oh mighty Brainiac, you are missing the point. These missiles cannot be fired only by Ukraine into the sovereign state of Russia. In order to make these particular missiles fly into Russia requires the ACTIVE participation of the US.
DeleteWhich means the US is firing missiles into Russia.
What do you think we would have done if, say, Iran assisted Iraq in firing missiles into the continental US?
That's kinda a defacto act of war.
The point is that it was an AMERICAN missile that Zelenskyy fired 75 miles into Russia.
DeleteToo bad you don't grasp the gravity of that little detail, Anon.
Well isn't that hypocritical of Dear Old Vlad, eh? Russia fits that description considering it receives weapons from China and North Korea that are used to attack Ukraine, both of which are nuclear powers. So the rule is only supposed to apply in one direction?
ReplyDeleteYeah, that'll work...NOT.
8:33 anon it seems obvious you didn’t grow up in the 1950s or 60s when we had duck and cover civil defense drills in public schools because there was a possibility some nuke might pop off in a nearby zip code. These neocon globalists will keep poking the bear. Someday the bear may say enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteI was in hopes that Trump would call asshole Zelensky and tell him, if one of those long range missiles are fired, day one of my presidency, I'll hang you out to dry. I hope he hangs him out to dry regardless. Fuck Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteI said in a comment yesterday this Biden missile permission is one strategy to stop Trump from being president. Even if Putin doesn't pull the nuke trigger the Democrat generals will convince Biden to declare Martial law thus stopping Trump's inauguration due to an extremely heightened threat.
ReplyDeleteWe aren't fighting the war. Ukraine is. Putin started a war and he can whine all he likes, but he's just getting what he asked for. Anonymous got the point. May be not yours, but he got the real point.
ReplyDeleteUkraine may have the boots on the ground but we're supplying the weapons, the ammo, the missiles AND the satellites needed to guide those missiles to their targets.
DeleteAgain, not my country, not my war. No American should be at the slightest risk because of their bitch-fight.
Sure Putin has kept saying it for a few months now because he really doesn't want to do it, but he's only gonna say it for so long before he feels he has no choice, and Joe Biden is an old senile man that is leaving office soon and knows he doesn't have that much longer to live and probably thinks "might as well burn it all down " and i wouldn't doubt that's what he's thinking.
ReplyDeletePoot ain't playin' no beanbag. The idiots giving the orders think he wouldn't attack the US or anything the US owns. Nobody thought the Nips would attack Pearl Harbor, either.
ReplyDeleteSo, has Biden not considered the fact that Russia has the ability to attack the ships that deliver those weapons, or the ability to hit the factory that makes them?
ReplyDeleteIt's all about Trump. If this was such a great strategic move why now? Why not a year ago? These crazed warmongers are going to make a big of a mess as they can before Trump takes office. Anyone know how many US troops are in that shithole country? The chances of them getting hit just went up.
