NATO's Parliamentary Assembly has recommended that member governments provide Ukraine with intermediate-range missiles (IRBM). Apparently the Parliamentary Assembly is either insane or suicidal.
These are ballistic missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,500 kilometers, including Tomahawk Cruise Missiles which are capable of "striking at the strategic depth of the enemy."
The Assembly's decision is advisory, but it opens the way.
Apparently, NATO is flatly ignoring the entire basis for the Russia-Ukraine war: The Expansion of NATO.
Former NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg admitted this on TV, when he said "Putin went to war over NATO Expansion:"
Russia's position that NATO expansion must stop and be reversed is based on promises made to then-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev; promises made by then US Secretary of State, James Baker III, who told Gorbachev "NATO will not move one inch east."
This assurance was given to Gorbachev numerous times, not only by the US, but also by the UK and by Germany. The proof that this was promised is contained in declassified minutes of the Kremlin meeting, as shown below in this portion of declassified documents from the United States National Security Archive:
This conversation is especially important because subsequent researchers have speculated that Secretary Baker may have been speaking beyond his brief in his “not one inch eastward” conversation with Gorbachev. Robert Gates, the former top CIA intelligence analyst and a specialist on the USSR, in a separate declassified document (below) tells his kind-of-counterpart, the head of the KGB, in his office at the Lubyanka KGB headquarters, exactly what Baker told Gorbachev that day at the Kremlin: not one inch eastward.
At that point, Gates was the top deputy to the president’s national security adviser, Gen. Brent Scowcroft, so this document speaks to a coordinated approach by the U.S. government to Gorbachev.
Kryuchkov, whom Gorbachev appointed to replace Viktor Chebrikov at the KGB in October 1988, comes across here as surprisingly progressive on many issues of domestic reform. He talks openly about the shortcomings and problems of perestroika, the need to abolish the leading role of the CPSU, the central government’s mistaken neglect of ethnic issues, the “atrocious” pricing system, and other domestic topics.
When the discussion moves on to foreign policy, in particular the German question, Gates asks, “What did Kryuchkov think of the Kohl/Genscher proposal under which a united Germany would be associated with NATO, but in which NATO troops would move no further east than they now were? It seems to us to be a sound proposal.” Kryuchkov does not give a direct answer but talks about how sensitive the issue of German unification is for the Soviet public and suggests that the Germans should offer the Soviet Union some guarantees. He says that although Kohl and Genscher’s ideas are interesting, “even those points in their proposals with which we agree would have to have guarantees. We learned from the Americans in arms control negotiations the importance of verification, and we would have to be sure.”
Here is the relevant paragraph from Page 10 (but document calls it page 12) of the original document, which is fully available from the US National Security Archive HERE:
So present-day NATO, via their recently retired General Secretary, ADMITS Russia went to war in Ukraine over NATO Expansion.
The documents from the US National Security Archive PROVE that the US, UK, Germany made assurances to Gorbachev, and to the KGB that "NATO will not move one inch eastward" and all of that went right out the window four years later starting in 1994 when then US President Bill Clinton signed-off on expanding NATO right up to Russia's Border! ! ! ! !
WE BROKE OUR WORD.
Over and over again, we promised the then-Soviets that we would not move one inch eastward. We lied. THAT is the reason for the ongoing Ukraine war. WE are in the wrong.
Here is a brief graphic showing how many times we broke our word; it shows the NATO expansion which began in earnest in the year 1994, that Russia is now fighting through war in Ukraine:
It got worse! in 1999, NATO attacked Yugoslavia and broke the country apart through a completely UNAUTHORIZED and utterly illegal BOMBING campaign.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) carried out an aerial bombing campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War. The air strikes lasted from 24 March 1999 to 10 June 1999. The bombings continued until an agreement was reached that led to the withdrawal of the Yugoslav Army from Kosovo.
The United States and NATO had no right and no authority to do any of this. Not even the United Nations or the UN Security Council, approved of this!
The Russians vehemently objected, but because they were still paying off the debt of the former Soviet Union, which had dissolved itself in December 1991, Russia was not strong enough at that time, to do anything about what we were doing.
This bombing of Yugoslavia until the country was broken up, showed the Russians that NATO was no longer a "defensive" alliance, it was a rogue military bloc willing to attack European countries without legal authority, to break them up.
Then, on 19 March 2011, a multi-state NATO-led coalition began a military intervention in Libya, bombing that country until its leader Muammar Gaddafi, was brutally beaten and shot in the head by rioting crowds.
So again, Russia bore witness to NATO being an aggressive military bloc that overthrows governments!
Fast forward again to February, 2014, when The US, the EU and NATO fomented, financed and facilitated the riotous overthrow of Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych. In an intercepted phone call, then US Undersecretary Victoria Nuland decided with other US State Department officials, who the new leader of Ukraine would be!
Here is that intercepted phone call between Victoria Nuland and Ukraine Ambassador Jeffrey Pyatt, wherein they decided who would be in the next Ukraine government!
It was Russian intelligence that intercepted that call, so Russia had PROOF it was the West that overthrew Yanukovych in their bid to get Ukraine into NATO.
They want Ukraine in NATO to place American missiles on Ukraine soil with a 5 minute flight time to Moscow. Russia said "no." NATO moved ahead nevertheless.
By September, 2014, Ukraine's new "puppet" government, favorable to the West, had been firing artillery and mortars into Luhansk and Donetsk to ethnically-cleanse the Russian-speaking populations there.
A major Diplomatic initiative was undertaken via meetings in nearby Minsk, Belarus. Then-French President Francois Hollande, then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel, then-Ukraine President Pietro Poroshenko, along with representatives from Luhansk, Donetsk, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, negotiated for 19 hours to hammer-out a peace deal, to stop the conflict. All the parties signed the "Minsk Agreement."
The fighting didn't stop. Ukraine did not honor even ONE point of the Minsk Agreement.
Fast forward to December, 2021. Russia sent a Treaty Proposal to NATO, as mentioned in the video above by Jens Stoltenberg, seeking security guarantees to protect Russia from continued NATO expansion. NATO refused.
In January 2022, Russia again sent that Treaty to the White House in the USA, to #10 Downing Street in the UK, and to each and every capital of every NATO Country. Only this time, the proposal made clear: "If Russia cannot obtain iron-clad, legally enforceable security guarantees via Diplomatic means, it will obtain them through military or military technical means."
They warned us they would go to war. We laughed and rejected negotiations.
So, on February 20, 2024 they went to war. Exactly as they said they would do.
The West was shocked. Started LYING to the world that this was "an unprovoked Russian aggression." Lying that this was about "Ukraine freedom." Lying that this "is not about NATO." Lying that "Putin is a Dictator trying to rebuild the former Soviet Union." Every single claim was -- and still is -- a lie. Those lies are regurgitated by people in the US and EU who are such mental weaklings, they simply refuse to look at the facts. They repeat the lies trying to sound smart.
Lie after lie, after lie. Spewed by NATO governments, and peddled by a subservient media that has utterly abandoned it's job to report the facts. The truth? It got buried.
A few weeks into the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, both Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel, in separate TV interviews, ADMITTED the entire Minsk peace conference was a deliberate DECEPTION.
Hollande told the TV interviewer "We never intended to honor the Minsk agreement. It was only signed to buy time for Ukraine to arm for war with Russia." Merkel, a week or so later told German Television the same thing: "Minsk was only to buy time for Ukraine to arm."
They DELIBERATELY attended a Peace Conference with the INTENT to DECEIVE ! ! ! What kind of people do something like that? Psychopaths.
So after seeing these interviews on TV, the Russians began to realize that the people in NATO not only broke their word about NATO "not moving one inch east," they illegally bombed Yugoslavia to break-up the country without ANY authorization from anyone, they overthrew Gaddafi in Libya, and they deliberately deceived Russia by attending the Minsk Peace Conference with the INTENT to deceive. Russia now realized NATO are lying, deceitful, violent, dangerous, psychopaths.
Russia asked itself: If NATO did this to Yugoslavia, and NATO did that to Gaddafi, and NATO lied to signa phony peace Treaty in Minsk, what else are they capable of? What if RUSSIA is on their list? The Russians likely said to themselves, NATO is trying to completely surround us, to take us over, too!
Fast forward again to this month: We have seen over the past two weeks, Ukraine used American ATACMS to attack Kursk, Russia. Russia responded by escalating and used an Intermediate Range Ballistic missile in its fight with Ukraine. A fight that Ukraine would have lost in days had it not been for NATO meddling.
And now, NATO is talking about providing intermediate range missiles to Ukraine, to bomb Russia.
Russia has made clear that western-supplied missiles need satellites to guide them to target, and that Ukraine does not have any satellites. So those weapons must be guided to target by the US, the EU, and NATO Satellites.
THAT guidance-to-target makes the US, the EU and NATO "Parties to the conflict" for which Russia can STRIKE our countries.
The West continues to ignore the reality that Russia can - and very likely WILL -- commence such strikes. HERE. Inside the USA and inside Europe.
When Russia says they're going to do something, they do it.
They told us they would use military against Ukraine, and they did it.
They have repeatedly told us they would use nukes to preserve their country. Only a fool would think they won't do that, too.
They told us they would hit us if our missiles were fired by Ukraine, but guided to target by US/EU/NATO satellites. That has now begun happening. US-supplied ATACMS are now being used by Ukraine to strike deep into Russia.
Now that our missiles are being used to hit Russia, things are highly likely to escalate to nuclear strikes because the West has so depleted its own armament that the only weapons they have left to use are nukes.
Russia, on the other hand, is producing in THREE MONTHS, what the ENTIRE EU produces in one year. The EU and the USA simply cannot keep up.
Within weeks, it is likely that this Russia-Ukraine war will escalate into World War. Nuclear World War.
When that happens, you and your family are very likely to DIE in a nuclear nightmare.
I thought you should know why you and your family are probably going to be killed.
Now, you know: We broke our word and engaged in NATO EXPANSION after we promised we wouldn't.
As evidenced by the NATO Parliamentary Assembly recommendation yesterday, to supply Intermediate Range missiles to Ukraine, it is clear we won't stop what we're doing.
We are leaving Russia NO CHOICE but to attack us.
Because we broke our word and won't stop. THAT is why you and your family are likely to be killed in nuclear war, within weeks or months.

YOU DON'T GET THIS IN-DEPTH, FACTUAL INFORMATION, ANYWHERE ELSE. Period. Full stop.
My radio show airs Monday thru Friday, from 9:00 - 10:00 PM eastern U.S. time, which is GMT -0500 for those of you outside the USA. Five nights a week of cutting-edge news, verifiable, fact-based reporting. Hours, often days, sometimes even a week before the so-called "Main-Stream-Media" reports it . . . . if they even bother to report it!
The costs to bring this show to you five nights a week, and to have this website, are quite substantial every month. I need your help to keep doing this.
Here's what this website is projected to cost me via Amazon Web Services when it bills on Dec. 1:
The AWS projection is blazingly accurate based on past site performance. The website got a LOT of extra traffic from the Israel strike upon Iran and again from the Russian ICBM Strike on Ukraine.
The cost for the six inbound telephone lines from Vonage for the radio show cost:
For the New Jersey Internet Fiber Optics to carry the show out to the world:
Verizon FiOS: $255.80 (two separate Fiber optics, one main, one failover)
Verizon Cellular Data Modem (Failover) $35
For the Pennsylvania Fiber Optics: $69
For the Pennsylvania AT&T Cellular Data Failover $69
For the Pennsylvania Cable Modem: $99.95
For the Pennsylvania Satellite Uplink: $247.37
For the SECOND PA Satellite (Failover) $165
Music Licensing: $59
In addition to the expenses above, there is a very large cost for International Shortwave Radio Stations WBCQ, WRMI, and WWCR. The radio stations publish their hourly rates on their websites.
Some months have more broadcast days than others. Some months have more Wednesdays than others, meaning the extra hour on Wednesdays can vary by month.
The total amount I **MUST** raise within the next five days comes to: $8,664.53
From its inception in the year 2000, this site and radio show have relied upon reader/listener support. There is no paying advertising on this site. I do NOT hawk products for sale and thus earn no commissions. The radio show does NOT have paying ads.
This is all by design. The radical political left-wing engages in economic sabotage to destroy any viewpoints they dislike. They organize advertiser boycotts to cut-off radio station funding, by scaring advertisers with threats of boycotts unless they stop advertising. The advertisers then call the radio stations and say "you have to stop talking about such and such or we will have to pull our advertising." The radio stations exist on that ad money, so they have no choice but to curtail what is reported or spoken about, or be driven out of business.
We don't have that vulnerability here.
Thanks to YOUR financial support, all viewpoints are heard and aired - even views I personally disagree with.
This is ONLY possible because YOU throw a few bucks this way every month. Without YOUR support, this endeavor dies fast.
So please use the donation widget below to make a donation right now. I only have until November 30 to have the money. It's due Dec.1.
Thanks for your continued support!
