Russia opposes Ukraine NATO membership since 2008; Ukraine’s proximity to Moscow intensifies tensions. With Biden's administration escalating brinkmanship, Ukraine launched U.S. missiles into Russia. Propaganda clouds information, creating confusion. Concerns rise about potential unintended consequences of U.S. actions since 2001 and the helplessness of Americans to influence outcomes, questioning the constitutional timeline after elections.
Brinkmanship: Ukraine Hits Target Inside Russia with U.S. Ballistic Missiles Donald Trump Jr. expresses alarm; Alex Soros expresses delight. Tue, 19 Nov 2024 14:00:59 GMT https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/brinkmanship-ukraine-hits-target The following map is a conspicuous illustration of why Russia has, since the Bucharest NATO Summit in 2008, stated its staunch opposition to Ukraine joining NATO. If you thought Cuba was uncomfortably close to the Pentagon to host a Soviet missile base in 1962, consider that Cuba is about 1100 miles from Washington D.C., while the northeast corner of Ukraine is about 350 miles from Moscow.
With Biden the lame duck puppet on his way out, whoever is running his administration has decided to kick up the brinkmanship a big notch by giving Ukraine a green light to go ahead and launch an American-made ballistic missile, which flew more than 140 km to hit a target in the Bryansk region of Russia.
With the information landscape hopelessly cluttered by propaganda, it’s tough to say what exactly is going on. An X page titled Military News UA is boasting the following:
Alex Soros is pleased:
Don Jr. is alarmed.
I suppose an optimistic interpretation of this is that it’s a Biden Administration PSYOP to terrorize the American people for voting for Donald Trump. Whatever precisely is going on, it is distressing for me to contemplate that I had a crystal clear vision that the Biden people would significantly escalate with Russia if they lost the election. I have other, far worse visions as well that I hope are merely the stuff of nightmares and not of reality. At any rate, every reasonable adult should be in mind that whatever happens, we can rest assured that whoever is running the show also has no idea how it will end. Consider that every major U.S. government adventure since 2001 has had significant unintended consequences.
It bothers me that a solid popular majority of Americans are apparently helpless to do anything about this, and I am now seriously questioning the wisdom of the two-month time period—provided by the U.S. Constitution—between the November election and January inauguration.
