Extremely strong and worrisome language is coming out of Russian government circles today; and none of it bodes well for anyone.
We begin with what started this over the weekend. Newly elected German Chancellor Friedreich Merz appeared on stage at a Press gathering and told assembled media "Germany, France, the UK and the United States have lifted range-restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine."
This meant that Ukraine could now use Western-supplied weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
For Russia, the reality was stark; "If the West can tell Ukraine where to strike and where not to strike, then the West is a direct participant in the conflict."
Next came President Donald Trump who personally posted on Social Media:
The Russians were clearly insulted by that remark. Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev of the Russian Federation Council (their version of a Senate) bluntly replied:
Today, Wednesday, German Chancellor Merz welcomed Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky to Berlin and announced another 5 Billion EUROS in German aid . . . "including something new . . ."
It is widely believed that Merz was referring to German TAURUS Missiles. But there are gigantic problems with those. The missiles either need to follow military GPS, which can only be obtained from AMERICAN military satellites, or it can rely upon Internal guidance from hyper-accurate maps created by the German military itself.
The use of such missiles by Ukraine, would necessarily directly involve active participation of either America, Germany, or both as "participants" in the conflict.
Worse, TAURUS missiles, supplied to Ukraine by Germany, would have to rely on direct target programming by German military officers in order to strike a target inside Russia. Ukrainians simply cannot program the missiles.
The boss at state-run Russia media then began making it clear:
Wednesday afternoon, Dmitry Medvedev cut right through all the word-play by Germans. He said:
"Germany is already a participant in the conflict: its equipment and specialists are directly fighting Russia. And these are not just military supplies. In essence, this is a full-fledged, not hybrid, participation in the military conflict.
Thus, Germany is again an enemy of Russia, again taking part in the war, guided by the Nazi ideology they created, and Merz is a loyal descendant of his relatives who fought in the Wehrmacht.
Medvedev continued: Will Russia have the right to strike German territory in response to the launch of German missiles by German specialists?
Medvedev then finished with the most worrisome words spoken yet about this conflict: "If there is information that German military specialists are participating in the launch of long-range missiles at Russian territory, any decision on retaliatory actions can be made. It is within the competence of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. No one can block the right to full-fledged defense of our country and this has been repeatedly emphasized by the head of our state.
To demonstrate how severe things have actually gotten, Russia's Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, who is, by far, the most skilled Diplomat on earth, responding to Merz’s comments on long-range missiles for Kiev, stated bluntly: Germany is sliding down the same path that once led it to ruin.
From media, to political, to Diplomatic, everything that can go wrong with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, is going wrong. The conflict is escalating from the OUTSIDE due to direct actions taken by outsiders.
(Hal Turner Remark: We are now perilously close to direct warfare with Russia. None of this has to be. If direct warfare comes, I am completely confident it will become nuclear within hours of its outbreak. None of us is safe. Yet the mass media here in the US, and in Europe, barely mention what is taking place, leaving Americans and Europeans blissfully unaware that their governments are cooking up actual nuclear war. The mass media has become sickening in its refusal to report real news.)
FWIW
Once a month, I come to you with the hope of keeping the lights on for another month through your financial help. I have THREE DAYS to raise the needed funds.
Below is a screenshot from Amazon Web Services showing my actual charges this month and the projected total given the streaming audio and website traffic:
OTHER EXPENSES:
6 inbound telephone lines from VONAGE: $ 192. a month
NJ Fiber Optics: 187.
NJ Cellular Failover $35
PA-Fiber $69
PA-Cable failover $$99
PA Cellular Failover $69
PA Viasat-1 $247
PA Viasat-2 $167
Adobe Media for Music Licensing $59
WBCQ, WRMI, WWCR radio stations . . . .
This is a large and expensive endeavor; NOT some rinky-dink podcast over the Internet where entities CENSOR what can be said by shutting-down the podcast and deleting the videos.
This is real media. Real radio. FCC Rules and all.
What is NOT INCLUDED above: Two Enterprise-Grade Router/Intrusion-detection/Firewalls at $1500 each that I had to replace in both NJ and PA this month to keep the intruders out. $3,000 in one fell swoop just to prevent the hackers and attackers.
It's expensive to do this, and to do it right. There is no "save $100 here" or "Save $100 there." This is real business, not a hobby, not some blowhard taking to the Internet to spew his ignorance.
I don't do commercials. I don't do clickable ads on this website. I don't sell any products here. Which is why my broadcasts don't deluge you with "buy this (from me)", or "buy that (from me)." Absent deluging you with commercials and ads, I need your help to get this paid for.
I also have to eat and keep a roof over my family's head, just like all of you. So please help out with the expenses.
