The Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a statement on Thursday regarding the two attacks by Western long-range weapons on Russian territory on November 19 and 21 and Moscow’s reactive strike on a facility within Ukraine’s defence industrial complex in the city of Dnepropetrovsk with a hitherto unknown non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile named Oreshnik.

The policy of incremental escalation is looking increasingly unwise

There’s an old saying, “Fool around and find out.” On November 19, Ukraine fired six US-made missiles at a target located on Russian soil. On November 20, Ukraine fired up to a dozen British-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles against a target on Russian soil. On November 21, Russia fired a new intermediate-range missile against a target of Ukrainian soil.

What if there simply is no alternative to America’s permanent war party?

Kyiv now using British Storm Shadow missiles to attack Russia. This ‘Trump proofing’ is massively short-sighted.

The White House recognises that negotiations to end the conflict are inevitable, but it wants to delay the day of judgment.

Strike appears to be an elaborately staged attempt to show Russia will outbid the west over Ukraine

MOSCOW, Nov 22 (Reuters) – The Kremlin said on Friday that a strike on Ukraine using a newly developed hypersonic ballistic missile was a message to the West that Moscow will respond harshly to any “reckless” Western actions in support of Ukraine.

The Pentagon refuses to say whether Joe Biden even informed it of his reckless decision to allow the strikes, which the DoD has strenuously opposed, reports Joe Lauria.

SecDef Austin’s claim that these explosives are safe is dead wrong
