The issue of long-range weapons for use in attacking interior, pre-war Russia, is developing into a very big - and dangerous - situation. Threats are being hurled back and forth, very publicly.
It all began when word came out early last week, that the U.S. was "considering" allowing Ukraine to use US-supplied weapons, to attack deep interior, pre-war, Russia.
The Russians sent explicit, written warnings to the US which said "If Ukraine uses long-range weapons to attack interior Russia, it will affect both sides of the Atlantic." (Story Here)
A few days later, at a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany, word leaked that the question of Ukraine using NATO (West) Supplied weapons to strike deep inside Russia was being discussed!
Russia's Ambassador to The United States, Anatoly Antonov, then repeated publicly, his government's written warning: "If Ukraine uses long-range weapons to attack inside Russia, it will affect both sides of the Atlantic."
Late this past week, word leaked from US and UK Intelligence Agencies claiming Russia had taken delivery of "hundreds" of IRANIAN-MADE FATH-360, short-range ballistic missiles, for Russia to use against Ukraine. This revelation set off a firestorm of threats.
Saturday, The Defense Ministry of Ukraine (which can't even adequately defend their own land) said that "If Russia uses Iranian Missiles to target Ukrainian Civilians, then their Response against Iran will be Severe." Yes, you read that correctly, Ukraine just threatened Iran!
But the really big development took place today, from Israel. Israel announced that If Iran supplies missiles for Russia to use in attacking Ukraine, then Israel will supply "long range precision missiles to Ukraine, to strike Russia." Yes, you read that correctly; Israel just threatened the Russians.
Hal Turner Personal Observations
If this wasn't so pathetic, it would laughable.
Ukraine is continuing to screech and cry for more US weapons, ammunition, and other military aid. Israel is also whining to the US for more military aid . . . . . for Gaza and Lebanon operations.
At the very same time both these countries have their hands out to the US for more aid, they BOTH threaten OTHER countries?
Am I seeing this right?
Ukraine tells Iran its response will be "severe" and Israel tells Russia it will give precision missiles to Ukraine to strike Russia?
Is this some sort of Clown Show? Who do the Ukrainians and Israelis think they are, begging to the US for more aid, then plotting to attack other countries (Iran & Russia)?
Ukraine and Israel seem to both have a Napoleon complex.
