Trump did escalate by sending weapons to Ukraine during his first term but we know he was probably fed bad information along with the Russian hoax disabling his ability to make peace with Russia. If Putin is as savvy as we think then he knows this as well. He might not owe Trump any favors but could be willing to work with him for a lasting peace. Remember how the media screamed when he met alone with Putin during his previous term? I am still getting memes from my liberal friends showing cartoons with Trump performing sexual acts with Putin so that you know they’re very afraid of Putin and Trump getting along. As you said, Trump knows war will wreck his domestic agenda so we can be hopeful. Israel OTOH could be difficult to solve but we must remain hopeful
There is a misconception that the Globalist's primary goal in Ukraine was to weaken Russia and undermine Putin. That is not the case. They wanted (really needed) to exploit Ukrainian resources as a means of staving off bankruptcy in their national economies. That is why this war is existential for the West. Putin knows this and his response to the ATACMS attack will be aimed at this weakness. The price for inflicting minor damage on a munitions depot in Bryansk may well be that Russia will now absorb additional oblasts within Ukraine. This would be achieved via military victory in these regions followed by local elections and a referendum to join Russia. And the West would lose even more of its presumed access to Ukrainian resources. Stupid is as stupid does.
Too bad the US and Russia can't gang up on the Ruling Class. After all, the Ruling Class and "democrats" have been ganging up on Amercans (the middle class lately in particular) for years. And look at Jane Fonda and the Vietnam War- they were on our enemies side.
I don't see how Trump can avoid eating a lot of crow if he wants to end this war. The "democrats" started this war ("color revolution" in 2014) and through incompetence (anybody could see the outcome well in advance) they have allowed Russia to win. Of course they'll deny this all day long. Its ALWAYS Trump (and Americas) fault/s
***These are American long-range missiles, their use is entirely dependent on US intelligence and targeting, American soldiers will operate the missiles, and they will be guided by American satellites. This is an American attack on Russia.***
By authorizing long range missiles to strike inside Russia, Biden is committing an unconstitutional Act of War that endangers the lives of all U.S. citizens. This is an impeachable offense, but the reality is he’s an emasculated puppet of a deep state.
Russia says Ukraine attacked it using U.S. long-range missiles, signals it’s ready for nuclear response
Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, responded to the attack, accusing the West of wanting to escalate the conflict.
“The fact that ATACMS were used repeatedly tonight in the Bryansk region is, of course, a signal that they [in the West] want escalation. ***And without the Americans, it is impossible to use these high-tech missiles,”*** Lavrov said at a news conference at the G20 summit, according to comments reported by Tass and translated by Google.
Thank you for this and this morning's two prior articles. In addition to Irina Alksnis' lucid statement that "The problem is that the western ruling class has ceased to understand the significance and meaning of words altogether, it perceives only power in its most rude embodiment", my hope is that all Americans at every level of political and moral influence will demand that Joe Biden be removed from the presidency immediately---because this permission to launch long range missiles into Russia is the decision of an insane person. Will people now say it out loud---Joe Biden is acting on his hatred of all mankind. Will the voters who chose any candidate but Biden, any candidate other than Harris, force the public conversation sans propaganda about the insane, desperate man who is speaking through his actions the voice of evil incarnate. Add to Biden's culpability his permission and supplies of intentional provisions to fulfill the nation of Israel's commitment to genocide of every Palestinian person as well as war and tortorous punishments inflicted upon peoples and individuals who decry Israel's modus operandi throughout the middle east land mass.
"Putin is not going to do the Zhou regime any favors—they’re responsible for a horrendous war and the deaths of Russians and vast numbers of brother Slavs. That may not matter to Zhou’s Jewish masters, but it sure does to Putin."
Well said. It matters to those who lost their lives, or limbs, or have permanent emotional trauma. It matters to those who've lost a son, brother, husband or father.
Everything this administration does has a domestic political motive. Be it money with 10% for the Big Guy, to the ATACM's wonder weapon threat. My guess trying to hamstring the new Trump Administration.
How many wonder weapons that will change the Ukraine war are we at?
The thing I find most interesting about the use of ATACM's is the idea that this is an escalation. The US missiles fired into Russia (Kursk) landed in the general vicinity of US made Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) and M-1 Tanks. The IFV's and Tanks have been there since October so if US weapons are an escalation, the escalation happened back in October. Putin will use our willful misunderstanding of issues against us in the Western Press. I believe that the incoming administration is looking at this with clear eyes and not just reacting to the coverage as is Putin and Zelensky. 3 players with competing interests vying for the best deal.

- ATACMS
- F-16's
- Jaguar Missiles
- Himmar Missiles
- Storm Shadow Missiles
- German Leopard Tanks
- Challenger Tanks
- M1 Tanks
- Drones
- Patriot missile Defenses
- Western ISR Support
I am sure there is a lot more I forgot about.
Kitchen sink was on my list.

Kursk isn't Bryansk. The difference between ATACMS and armored vehicles is that you don't need US personnel to operate armored vehicles.
