Something is taking place inside Russia which signals a terrifying and dangerous escalation is taking place: Numerous Russian Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) trucks have come out of storage and are traversing snow-covered back roads throughout the entire nation of Russia.
After the recent attack by Ukraine, against a military airfield in Taganrog, the Russians launched a very significant attack overnight last night, against numerous targets inside Ukraine.
But these movements of ICBM's hint at something far bigger: a possible launch against NATO itself.
Russia has repeatedly warned that if western-supplied missiles were used to attack deep inside Russia, those missiles require western satellites to guide them to target. Ukraine does not have any satellites. So if "Ukraine" uses western-supplied missiles, and those missiles are actively guided-to-target by western satellites, then the west (collectively) becomes a "Combatant" -- an active participant in the fight, against which Russia can strike back.
When they said "strike back" they made clear they felt entitled to strike western (i.e. NATO) bases inside NATO countries.
These explicit warnings came after Ukraine used western-supplied, long-range missiles back on November 19 to hit Russia.
After that strike by Ukraine, Russia unleashed a new hypersonic "Oreshnik" missile, with empty warheads, to hit a major military production site inside Ukraine. The video of that attack , using the Oreshnik with six multiple Independent re-entry vehicles (MIRV) warheads, rained down six (6) separate storms of fire and molten metal upon the military factory in Ukraine.
The terrifying fury of fire and molten metal sub-munitions coming out of the sky at over 6,000 miles-per-hour, sent shockwaves through Ukraine and the West.
Ukraine's strikes against Russia then halted . . . until December 11, when Ukraine did it again: Hitting Taganrog, Russia with US-supplied ATACMS.
Last night, December 12, Russia struck Ukraine with at least 93 missiles and more than 200 drones. But AFTER that, all the missiles you see above, started coming out of their storage and into the field of Russia . . . ALL OVER their country.
It is now appearing that the Russians ____MAY____ strike bases in NATO countries.
No military exercises have been announced inside Russia which would account for these missile movements. They are ongoing as this story publishes at 10:41 AM EST on Friday the 13th of December, 2024.
UPDATE 12:18 PM EST --
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has reportedly been hospitalized while on an official trip. Now she will be "out of public sight."
This comes just one day after Senate Leader Mitch McConnel suffered a head injury and may be "out of public sight" too. (Story)
Doesn't pass the smell test. It seems strange to me that well known public figures are suddenly going to be out of the public eye.
