Lame duck “President” Joe Biden and his gang of neocon controllers, overcome by hatred of Donald Trump and the near certainty that, if they do not act now, the Ukraine War will soon be settled, have set in motion a process that could destroy the world in a nuclear Armageddon.
As everybody knows, Donald Trump wants to terminate the Ukraine war, and he wants to accomplish this by negotiating a settlement in which Ukraine would give up some disputed territory also claimed by Russia in return for a withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine. Both sides would gain from this settlement, and a long and costly war would end.

But brain-dead Biden hates Trump and still wants the pro-Nazi Zelensky regime to conquer Russia, thus preserving American world hegemony. Of course, this won’t happen, but brain-dead Biden has authorized the Ukraine to launch long range American missiles into Russia, and some have already been launched.
The Russians have warned that Russia is planning a response: “Russian officials on Monday furiously condemned President Joe Biden’s decision to permit Ukraine to use longer-range American missiles for limited strikes inside Russia, even as Russian missiles killed at least 21 people inside Ukraine in a pair of attacks. Though Russian President Vladimir Putin himself has yet to respond to another crossing of his ‘red lines’ by the West, his spokesman said the move added ‘fuel to the fire’ and tensions to the relationship.
‘This is a qualitatively new round of tension and a qualitatively new situation in terms of U.S. involvement in this conflict,’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists in a Monday briefing. ‘It’s clear that the outgoing administration in Washington intends to take steps to, they’ve said so, to continue to add fuel to the fire and to further provoke the level of tension.’ Restrictions on allowing Kyiv to use the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, were eased . . .‘The Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of conventional aggression against it,’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Speaking in Rio de Janeiro, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said ‘the fact that ATACMS were repeatedly used against the Bryansk region last night is a clear signal that they want an escalation.’
Earlier on Tuesday, Ukraine’s military general staff said in a post on Facebook that its forces had ‘caused fire damage’ to ‘warehouses with ammunition for the army of the Russian occupiers,’ in the city of Karachev in Russia’s Bryansk region, just over 70 miles from the Ukraine border.”
If Putin’s response is to launch longer range missiles against our NATO “allies,” the situation could easily escalate, and he threatened to do just that on September 13: “Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned NATO alliance leaders that a move to lift restrictions on Ukraine’s use of longer-range Western missiles to strike deep inside his country would be considered an act of war.
‘This will mean that NATO countries – the United States and European countries – are at war with Russia. And if this is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us,’ Putin told reporters on Thursday.”
