Biden authorizes Ukraine to use long-range US weapons in Russia
As Putin and Lavrov repeatedly pointed out, these weapons have to be operated by western personnel. so it would be NATO launching missiles into Russia. That's an act of war.
Great time to be a young man living in NATO territory innit
Liberals: Biden could possibly protect our rights and sign in some legislation before Trump takes office!
Biden:
Biden has finally done what these pricks have asked and I still bet they're going to be mad about something.
Never been more excited to live near NATO HQ
Of course, immediately after it inevitably prove ineffective at changing the situation in any way positive for them*. I do expect though that at least some of the missiles will pass the Russian air defence and kill civilians in Moscow or wherever else they are aimed, which will immediately rise the support for war again and especially for the hawks like Medvedev. Which might be exactly what Biden wants to achieve to prolong the war.
*Also the same was in case of HIMARS, every scarce missile launched to kill civilians in Donbas was one less to launch at Russian army. This is why all the internet warriors for Ukraine vehemently deny any terror bombing of Donbas happened and get very angry when proven otherwise - because it not only make their "fighting for their country freedom" idols evil but also stupid. With a very clear paralel to III Reich which did the same with V1 and V2.
They just really wanted to kill civillians
With every passing day I'm more and more sure that I'm going to die here. They just won't quit until Ukraine is an irradiated wasteland, won't they? I don't have any hope anymore.
The west may well run out of weapons before it gets to that point.
Here we go
Have we gotten any confirmation that DPRK forces are in Ukraine?
They're allegedly followed by a band of wizards constantly performing necromancy and removing memories from anyone that saw them but somehow survived so it's impossible to confirm anything but they're there trust me
No. And they're not likely to. Instead they're going to be in the part of internationally recognized Russia that Ukraine invaded in their incursion. They may or may not fight (they may just be there to observe and serve as perhaps additional defense against incursions in a region) but if they do they'll be fighting on Russia's internationally recognized territory against an invading force.
None. The closest is only some possible evidence of them being in Russia's far east, next to Korea itself, but that's about it and it wasn't even fully confirmed either.
Thousands. Actually, all Russian soldiers are just members of the DPRK wearing those glasses with a nose and mustache attached and wearing Russian uniforms. The entire war in fact was a plot by the DPRK to claim territory and eventually invade America and steal their toothbrushes.
It goes even deeper. Those DPRK-nationals-in-noseglasses are actually paid Chinese actors, like the ones the CPC sent to Xinjiang to roleplay as Uighurs (Adrian Zenz was not fooled).
Is this one last hurrah until he has to go? I have to admit that this news makes me very fearful, this and the war survival pamphlets in the Nordics. If Ukraine uses those long-range weapons, is that the point of no return?
I think there is only 1 way to avoid an actual nuclear conflict if this does happen. And thats for Russia to test a nuke. Do it somewhere in siberia or the Arctic where NATO cant get mad. Announce it before hand. and set off a Tsar Bomba level nuke with everyone watching. Remind the world what nukes look like and that you have big ones. Then turn around and say "Now back the fuck off".
It will show Russia is serious without actually risking a nuclear exchange. Its the only thing that may wake up the Americans and make them realize the type of fire they are playing with.
Siberia is not a wasteland, there are around 40 million people living there, it's incredibly ethincally diverse with dozens of different peoples and languages, not to mention it's a gigantic region with huge forests that are home to a large number of rare species.
It's already being affected by global warming and testing nukes there would be a disaster.
well you get what i meant somewhere uninhabited im not sure where they used to do the tests but the USSR had places to do them.
I feel that the more likely scenario is that they target NATO satellites, drones and other sensors that home in these weapons. Anything involving nukes would turn the world against Russia and play into NATO's hand.
The issue is that activates article 5. I think Russia will want to avoid giving all the NATO nations an excuse to dogpile in. The DPRK has proven the effectiveness of doing tests as a deterrent.
Oh fuck. This could be very bad. Especially with Trump coming into office. If he does plan to follow a plan of maximum pressure to end the conflict in an armistice ala Korea then he needs to ramp up from whatever Biden was doing and without this as a threat where can he really go? He probably wouldn't want to back down from it for fear of looking weak so I'm afraid this wouldn't end in short order.
But this is basically calling Russia's bluff and daring them to strike NATO in return. Which could spiral into nuclear war.
OR, OR they could be looking to put this conflict entirely on the Europeans and get them to run and maintain it in which case Russia striking a NATO base in Poland or Germany or in one of those reactionary as fuck Baltic countries in retaliation could be used as kind of a prod to get them more involved directly while the US slinks out the back door. Make them hold down the conflict. Because the US wants Europe in shambles, they don't want a strong Euro or competing bloc, and they most of all want them at Russia's throat not cooperating so getting say European armies directly involved in a conflict with Russia while they pivot to Asia and readying for attacking China in 2026-27. They want at least Europe not close to Russia, ideally Europe to inflict such costs on Russia that they sue for peace and they can look strong and paint it as a victory for NATO and then turn around and use Ukraine and newly re-armed Europe to supply a fight against China, maybe directly against China, maybe in planned proxy conflicts in Africa and Asia to coerce the world into alliance against China by coup, invasion, color revolution, etc.
I'm going to say it. Russia should be willing to use nuclear weapons. The west will not accept a strategic defeat easily and if they get directly involved with their armies after Russia hits them in retaliation for this Russia should use nuclear weapons on their forces rather than backing down and allowing NATO a win or an armistice that sees Nazism reign in Ukraine and Ukraine turned into an arms and mercenary depot for the west to call upon to use on Africa, west Asia and the rest of the world in destabilization operations for strategic influence against BRICS/China. They're already doing this but it will expand and be used directly against the emerging multipolar BRICS order so better for Russia to call them now and force a stop to it than have the world deal with their terrorism, extremism, violence, coups, etc for decades to come.
For once Putin needs to show Russia won't back down as they have done every previous time. They should draw up plans and the moment one of these missiles hits or even I dare say flies deep into Russia and is intercepted successfully, they should hit a nearby NATO base with absolute fury, just leave nothing left but bodies and rubble using conventional munitions. I'd even go so far as to propose taking a nuclear capable ICMB or three, removing their nuclear warheads, fitting them with large amounts of conventional explosives (with multi-re-entry vehicles this would equal 30-70 strikes) and alongside a diversionary force of medium range missiles like Kalibers striking German weapons factories in Germany to take them out as a message that they'll strike deep into Europe in response. Using ICBMs would give the message they could have used nukes and gotten through but chose not to, this time. And striking weapons factories would be especially appropriate given they're the ones supplying this conflict.
Of course they do have other options. They could and should arm Iran to the teeth with modern S-300 or S-400 air defense systems making the zionist entity's airforce useless but I think they should have done that a while ago and that this escalation calls for a more direct message to European vassals. They could and should given Ansar Allah advanced anti-ship weapons platforms capable of striking and sinking large US naval vessels and have them operated by Russian personnel. That would be a direct answer of course but I fear could expand the conflict in unpredictable ways.
But they have to call the bluff in some dramatic way that inflicts death and destruction on the west in response.
Cities can be leveled, neighborhoods turned to pulp, without nuclear weapons being used. Like what happened to Grozny. You can't walk back a nuke, but everyone not in that city can survive a city being shelled to oblivion.
