NATO Wants to Attack Inside Russia. If That Happens, All Bets Are Off.

As mentioned above, the steady path toward World War III continues. Here’s another example.

U.S. and NATO support for Ukraine in the war with Russia has been one long failure, but that has not stopped them from escalating the war with new weapons and tactics. Russia has met the escalation with its own escalation every step of the way.

At what point do rational leaders in the West (if there are any left) pause, consider that the war is lost in Ukraine, and begin to deescalate and seek a treaty to end the war? There’s no sign of that yet. In fact, all of the signs point to further escalation, which is a sure path to nuclear war.

The West supplied Ukraine with HIMARS precision guided artillery, but that failed because the Russians quickly learned how to jam the GPS guidance systems, so the missiles went off course. The U.S. and NATO supplied Ukraine with Abrams, Leopard and Challenger tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles that have been left burning on the battlefield. The Patriot anti-missiles systems cannot shoot down Russian hypersonic missiles and have been destroyed one-by-one at a cost of $1 billion each.

F-16s are the next wonder weapon promised. Those will be shot down by Russian S-400 anti-aircraft batteries. They are also old, obsolete models from NATO inventories that cannot be flown by Ukrainian pilots since they barely read English (the training manuals and maintenance manuals are all in English) and have not had enough time to train. It takes about two years to become a competent F-16 fighter pilot; the Ukrainians have barely had six months to learn.

What’s the next hare-brained scheme from NATO? The U.S. and its allies are green-lighting missile attacks deep inside Russia using U.S.-made ATACMS ballistic missiles with a range of up to 190 miles. These attacks will hit civilian targets such as the Russian city of Belgorod or critical military targets such as the Russian nuclear missile radar warning arrays.

Both types of attacks will bring a severe Russian response, including the final destruction of the entire Ukrainian power grid. This plan is just another example of failed escalation by the U.S. and NATO and moves the world one step closer to nuclear war.
