Russian special military operation in Ukraine #60

They are prepared to sacrifice their embassies for that. But if they didn't think they could get away with it, if they thought it would actually lead to WW3, then they wouldn't dare. For as much as they fear losing their little empire and its printing press hegemony, they fear losing their lives more, as anyone would. wrote:

The problem is that the West has stopped fearing, fearing Russia's strategic nuclear weapons. At the beginning of the conflict, no one thought that the West would go so far.

Not really. Soviet and chinese did much more during Vietnam war to help north vietnamese than the nato is doing for Ukraine today.

That is very good comment.
In general, there is a giant gap between the things that are being officially pretended to the real stance of the whole of the west.
Polish ruling "elites" are among the biggest Russkie eaters up there - but only as long as nobody says "checking".
Wired by suprice, it turns out that private opinions hardly represent the same level of shit.
Vovan and Lexus just scammed Sikorsky, who is a clear CIA asset. Yet even him, thinking that he conversates in private with Poroshenko, claimed all different than he speaks openly.
The very same situation was with president Duda at the same circumstances - he clearly bend over and admitted that there is not a single serious idea about any sort of war with Russkie.
In the Vietnam war, a whole WarPac supplied Vietnam with tons of equipment. Thousands - literally thousands - of trucks were delivered by Poland only.
WarPac military fought alongside the Vietnamese, and that was quite official - Polish air defense soldiers and officers were there operating both V-750 and S-125. Same applies to military pilots, all sort of instructors who trained Vietcong on the ground.
This war is much more scary in verbal sphere rather than in official.
And it is so only because of overflooding with information, both actual and figured out.

On September 14 of this year, as a result of the negotiation process, 103 Russian servicemen captured in the Kursk region were returned from the territory controlled by the Kiev regime.

In return, 103 prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were transferred.

Currently, all Russian servicemen are in the territory of the Republic of Belarus, where they are provided with the necessary psychological and medical assistance, as well as the opportunity to contact relatives.

All released servicemen will be taken to the Russian Federation for treatment and rehabilitation in medical institutions of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Upon the return of Russian servicemen from captivity, the United Arab Emirates provided humanitarian mediation efforts.

Putin warns West of entering war, by Pëtr Akopov for RiaNovosti. 09.14.2024.

Vladimir Putin has warned the West that there is only one step left before Russia will consider it directly at war with our country. Commenting on the discussion of the issue of allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory with Western long-range missiles, the president said that if this decision is made, the essence of the conflict will change. After all, the Ukrainian army itself is not capable of carrying out these strikes - they need data from NATO satellites, and Western servicemen will be responsible for entering flight assignments:

"Therefore, it is not a question of allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not. It is a question of deciding whether NATO countries are directly involved in a military conflict or not.

If the decision is made, it will mean nothing less than the direct participation of NATO countries, the United States, and European countries in the war in Ukraine. This is their direct participation, and this, of course, significantly changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict.

This will mean that NATO countries - the US , European countries - are at war with Russia."

So Putin equated permission to strike Russia with the West declaring war on us? In essence, yes. The President reminded the Anglo-Saxons (and the discussion was supposed to take place at a meeting between the American President and the British Prime Minister on Friday in Washington ) of the price of the issue. This is not a nuclear ultimatum - no matter how hard the West tries to talk about another Putin nuclear threat in response, this is an open warning that we are climbing another rung on the ladder of escalation (far from endless). Formally, Putin's warning is calm and careful - "and if this is so, then, bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be created for us" - but in fact, this is a very serious warning. What did Putin mean and will the Anglo-Saxon leaders hear him?

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer responded on his way to Washington: "We are not looking for any conflict with Russia, we have no such intentions in the slightest," but "Kiev has the right to self-defense" and "we fully support it, <...> provide training and opportunities." It is clear that following the meeting between Starmer and Biden, there will be no statements about permission to strike at Russian territory - even if it were adopted (and it will not be adopted yet), it is not in the West's interests to talk about it now. Because the United States is not only not ready to climb the escalation ladder, but also does not want an escalation of the situation on the Ukrainian front in principle: on the eve of the elections, the Biden-Harris administration does not need a demonstration that another of its bets (on Russia's defeat) is losing. However, Moscow assumes that Kiev will still receive permission from the Anglo-Saxons - if not now, then in a month, and a successful offensive by the Russian army only brings closer the moment when the West will not be able to resist raising the stakes.

Therefore, Putin's warning is preemptive, so as not to be repeated later. What will Russia do after the first British missiles hit the Rostov region or Krasnodar region with the permission of the United States?

Of course, we should not expect a nuclear strike on Britain or American bases in Europe, but a rupture in diplomatic relations with London is becoming quite probable. The times when recalling ambassadors meant the start of a war are gone, but even now this measure is a strong demonstration of the extreme aggravation of the situation. Another form of response could be the deployment of a proxy war with the United States in the Middle East - and this is not only the supply of high-precision weapons to the Houthis. A complete freeze on the supply of strategic raw materials to the United States is also possible, as Putin recently spoke about.

Recognition of the US and Great Britain as countries at war with Russia will not lead to a fundamental change in the course of the war in Ukraine - we already understand that this is a conflict between us and the West for Western Russian lands (and indirectly - for a new world order) - but it will finally remove the question of the subjectivity of the Ukrainian government. Back in the spring, Russia, in fact, refused to recognize Zelensky as the president of Ukraine (after the expiration of his term in office), and we increasingly call Ukraine itself simply a tool, an instrument in the hands of the West. Not only the attitude, but also the announcement of the US and Great Britain as countries in a state of war with Russia will eliminate the ambiguity of the situation. The war from a semi-civil, semi-anti-Western one will finally become a war with the West (even if it is fought by a part of our own people) - and will leave us no choice but victory.
