According to senior Russian MPs, President Joe Biden’s administration allegedly approved Ukraine’s use of US-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets within Russia, marking a “big step towards World War Three.”
The decision, which was made in the last days of the Biden administration and on the eve of the 1000th day of the war in Ukraine, sparked a barrage of dire warnings from Russian legislators.
‘This is a very big step towards the beginning of the Third World War,’ said Putin-loyalist Vladimir Dzhabarov, deputy chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the upper house and a retired security service general.
He slammed the move from Biden – ‘a departing old man who will no longer be responsible for anything in two months’.
Hardline Liberal-Democatic party leader Leonid Slutsky said: ‘Biden has apparently decided to end his presidential term and go down in history as Bloody Joe.
‘It will mean only one thing – direct US participation in the military conflict in Ukraine, which will inevitably entail the harshest response from Russia, based on the threats that will be created for our country.’
Russian senator Andrey Klishas said: ‘The West has decided on a level of escalation that could end with the remnants of Ukraine completely losing their statehood.’
The significant shift in Western strategy has not yet been addressed by Putin himself.
But in October, he warned that long-range missile strikes on his territory would mean the West was ‘at war with Russia’ because only NATO specialists – and not Ukrainians – could fix these missiles onto their targets.
‘If this is the case, 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 posed to us,’ Putin said.
One Russian official called on Britain and France to reject the Biden administration’s strategy of permitting Ukraine to station long-range missiles called Storm Shadow and SCALP within Russia.
Le Figaro reported, without confirmation, that both London and Paris were reevaluating their stance following months of rejecting Zelensky’s requests to unleash the terrifying weapons against Russian targets.
Senior Russian diplomat Mikhail Ulyanov, the Kremlin’s permanent representative to international organisations in Vienna, said: ‘They have a chance to reconsider their position if they are truly concerned about European security.
‘There is no longer room for primitive political games.’
Although Biden’s decision has not been formally announced, it has received extensive coverage in the United States, and Downing Street has yet to respond.
It is not only careless but downright sabotage for Biden’s government to be promoting such extreme measures in its last days.
Trump’s explicit mandate from voters to pursue peace via strength rather than escalation is undermined by this action.
It’s no secret that Biden is unfit to lead, and now his handlers are scrambling to cement chaos before competent leadership takes over, and every unnecessary escalation drags America to a catastrophic conflict, risking countless lives.
Instead of careless brinkmanship, the world needs strength and diplomacy.
War is a cowardly act on the part of the leaders who send hundreds of thousands of men and women to their deaths from the comfort of their palatial homes, and you can bet that Zelensky’s bank account is well fortified by all of this.
This is crazy – old Biden’s last huzza, designed to queer the pitch of the incoming Trump administration, which is irresponsible, breaks unwritten conventions in a way that an outgoing administration should not act, but I do wonder how Trump is going to clean up this mess?
