Axios: America To Attack Russia
This is so crazy. I can only assume that this is a scheme to coerce Russia into a ceasefire on American terms. I believe it will have a very different result:
BREAKING:
The USA and UK will strike directly at Russian cities. Blinken and the British Foreign Secretary are traveling to Kyiv to announce permission for long-range strikes against Russia, a Congressional correspondent for the American publication Axios says.
These missiles are guided strictly by US satellites. They are also providing the coordinates.
US State Secretary Blinken landing in Rzeszów, NATO's military hub for Ukraine.
Here’s a much longer explanation from RT:
US to allow Ukraine attack Russia with long range missiles – Axios
“We’re working that out now,” Joe Biden has stated
Washington intends to lift restrictions on Kiev’s use of US-provided ATACMS missiles to strike deep inside Russian territory, an Axios reporter has claimed, citing a prominent member of US Congress.
The limitations were originally put in place to allow the US and its allies to claim they were not directly involved in the conflict with Russia, while arming Ukraine to the tune of $200 billion or more. Kiev has been clamoring for the restrictions to be lifted since May.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken intends to announce the policy change while visiting Kiev with his British counterpart David Lammy this week, Axios journalist Juliegrace Brufke claimed on Tuesday, citing Congressman Michael McCaul.
“I talked to Blinken two days ago, and he is traveling with his counterpart from the UK to Kiev to basically tell them that they will allow them [to hit Russia with ATACMS],” McCaul, the Texas Republican chairing the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Brufke in an interview last Friday.
Blinken will be in Kiev on Wednesday “to show continued support for Ukraine’s defense,” State Department spokesman Matt Miller has confirmed. He did not announce any policy changes.

However, Bloomberg quoted Blinken on Tuesday as having “signaled” Washington’s change of heart, ostensibly over claims that Iran has supplied Russia with ballistic missiles.
“We’re going to look and to listen” to Ukraine’s request, Blinken said during a press conference with Lammy in London. He added that US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will discuss the “missile issue” on Friday in Washington.
“We’re working that out now,” Biden told reporters on Tuesday, when asked about Ukraine’s long-range missile use.
Blinken claimed that Iran had delivered an unspecified number of Fath-360 missiles to Russia, defying months of Western warnings, and that Moscow will use them against Ukraine “within weeks.”

Iran has categorically denied the accusation, insisting it has not supported either party in the conflict.
“No missile was sent to Russia and this claim is a kind of psychological warfare,” senior military commander Fazlollah Nozari told Iranian media on Monday, while Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani pointed out that “Iran’s accusers are the ones who are among the biggest arms exporters to one side of the war.”
Russian ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzya, has accused the West of being involved in the Ukrainian conflict “up to its ears,” and said the issue of arming Kiev will be discussed at the Security Council on Friday.

As late as August 27, the Pentagon maintained that its policy on the use of long-range weapons had not changed. That was before Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and Vladimir Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andrey Yermak, visited Washington with a reported list of Russian targets they sought approval to strike.
Ukraine has repeatedly launched drones as far as Moscow, infamously crashing one on the roof of the Kremlin in May 2023. On Tuesday, another Ukrainian drone struck a residential building in Moscow Region, killing one civilian and injuring three.
What ever happened to the Constitution? Where is the concern in Congress?
It has historically been a bad idea to fight Russia.
Russia has killed 740,000 ukrainian soldiers.
Russia has 800,000 soldiers in Ukraine, alive and armed to the teeth.
Russia has hypersonic missiles. America does not.
Russia has effective anti-missile systems, America does not. What happened to common sense?
That this will backfire is a tremendous understatement. Have these strategic armchair, generals thought out the response that Russia will do. Of course you’re bordering on starting a War using short term tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The reality is that Putin is just going to unleash everything he’s gone and take out Kyiv along with the rest of Ukraine game over. at this point, Russia is already advancing strategically to cut off Ukraines communication and supply lines. The incursion into Russia was an absolute disaster and they have lost all of those fighting forces plus the NATO’s that were embedded with them. This will not end well. This will be the last gasp of the United States, England, and NATO and when it’s over it’s over. They only hope will be, if we can call it that, is that Trump is elected and perhaps somehow he can repair the damage with Putin and Russia and get them to come in as an ally or at least some type of friendship. That is the only logical move here. The neocons must be totally purged from the United States government, along with any and all influence from Israel
