Putin on Ukraine: "They have prepared their own end" (By Attacking Strategic Bombers)

Russian President Vladimir Putin said today:

"Ukraine attacked our air bases where Russian strategic bombers are located.

They proved that there can be no peaceful solution.

They have prepared their own end with this action.

There is no more red line.

They will regret what they did."

Hal Turner Analysis

What Ukraine did broke so many norms the damage is almost incalculable.

Those Bomber Aircraft were out in the open as part of a New START Treaty between the US and Russia.

Nuclear-capable Bombers from both countries, are agreed to be stored only at certain bases and must be out in the open so each side can see they are not nuclear-armed.

Treaty specifics say the planes must be out upon request, but tradition and normalcy cause them to be out all the time.   It's how each side knows the other is not planning a nuclear attack.

Ukraine demolished that normalcy.

Moreover, it has never been normal for a military attack to be launched from Civilian Tractor Trailers.  Ukraine demolished THAT normalcy as well.  Now, EVERY truck on the road, has to be considered potentially hostile.

What Did Trump Know, and When Did He Know It?

AXIOS first reported that the Trump Administration WAS told in advance.

Axios then changed their reporting to say the Trump Administration WAS NOT told.

Social media caught them:

Axios initially reported that #Ukraine had already informed the #Trump administration about the attack!

It later corrected itself.

This is no small detail.  

If Trump knew, then the Russia assessment that he "is the most duplicitous man they've ever dealt with" might be accurate.   Russia then extrapolated that to say "All the mediation with us by the US was a ruse; the plan never changed.  Support for Ukraine is still coming from the United States."

If Trump did not know, then we're supposed to believe that no one in the sprawling US intelligence apparatus, which plays a granular, intricate, role in the Ukrainian war effort, ever received any "notification" of this massive and unprecedented drone attack on Russian nuclear-capable warplanes??

We are additionally asked to believe that an operation which Zelensky said was planned for *a year and a half* never crossed the radar of anyone in the US military/intelligence apparatus? And they were totally blindsided today by something they'd never been "notified" about?

There's a war going on outside Ukraine folks. A war within the bureaucracy in DC and MIC and Intel communities IN the US, AND a war between the US and EU and parts of NATO in a wide variety of ways. If we know about LIBOR ending, and how the EU is panicking trying to find some way to get bailed out by forcing the US back into Ukraine (one way the elites there might escape), this all makes more sense.  

Who knew what, and when, is a gigantic question.  Social media picks-up the obvious: Two US Senators in Kiev a day or so before the Drone strike.

Yeah it's a real mystery who the Ukrainians "notified". pic.twitter.com/3Z1ax2pdpI

If the US didn't know and Zelensky massively escalated the war without telling Trump, and the money keeps flowing to Ukraine, there really is a deep state and Trump is too weak to take it on.

Either way, right now the Russians view us as completely untrustworthy.  That means your life and mine are not worth a plug nickel to the Russians.   I don't like the sound of that.  No.   I don't like the sound of that, at all.
