The NYT is reporting that the US is providing targeting information to Ukraine to enable Ukraine to kill high level Russian military personnel, and possibly command and control type centers (which the Russians move frequently). To me, this is the kind of activity that could really blow up in our collective face, as a country. It’s also disturbing that this is being done without the knowledge of the American people, by and large. I mean, this isn’t ISIS or al Qaeda we’re talking about. Russia is a country with highly advanced military capabilities, for some of which (nuclear capable hypersonic missiles) we have no counter measures. How confident are you that the Neocons ruling our country can be trusted to only do smart things? Their track record isn’t good.
As a number of analysts have noted, the USG proxy war against Russia is in that most dangerous phase called "losing."
It is this phase where the Losers resort to increasingly desperate measures to avoid their fate. Clearly the targeting assistance to UKR is part of that but it won't end there. As it becomes increasingly impossible for the Losers to deny that the Russians are obliterating the UAF in Donbass, expect something catastrophically stupid from the Losers. Russia has been extremely restrained so far. Will that continue?
Woops! and the mushroom cloud are dramatic, but wouldn't this green light the Russians to do what they could to downgrade our military, and even our civilian infrastructure with cyber warfare and other surreptitious strikes, not claiming responsibility of course. I have the impression that our top brass are not all that bright. Things have gotten so political in Washington lately.
When you are providing intel that is helping to target and degrade the upper levels of another country’s military command structure, seems that the targeted country might take it personally.
Might even look at it as an act of war.
I’m sure I’m probably wrong though, if the Russian’s started targeting and killing U.S. generals, we’d probably just shake it off.
The war mongers in the intelligence community are going to choose our fate for us all soon.

Our government and NATO have lost their collective minds.
The Russian Federation issued another warning today. This is not the first time....
I hope I linked this correctly. First time any suggestions on proper technique and form are welcome) http://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/#:~:text=Translation%3A%C2%A0%20MOSCOW,the%20minister%20said.
Questions to ponder…
What third parties would be happy to target American assets?
What could the Russians do through third parties to target American Targets?
What could the Russians supply to third parties to help successfully target the US assets?
My answer is American ships around Yemen, using the Houthanis, and anti ship missiles of some type.
Or, The Russians may decide to shoot down an us awacs planes around Ukraine. They are being used to monitor Russian communication.
They are admitting to some of the targeting to claim non-participation in one they almost certainly helped the Ukrainians pull off.

Naw, can’t see anyway this thing could go south.
" It’s also disturbing that this is being done without the knowledge of the American people, by and large."
Why?
I think the supplying of arms is much more problematic.
