Just as the Israelis are annihilating Gaza, Western leaders are setting up the Western world for the same.
Russia has warned in no uncertain terms that NATO and the US will be held responsible for long range missiles launched into Russia and that such launches will turn Russia’s conflict with Ukraine into a war between Russia and the West. Putin has asked Western leaders to give clear thought to what they have in mind as their destruction will be the consequence.
It is extraordinary that such a forceful warning is not heard except as an opportunity for more propaganda against Russia.
The British response was to reveal NATO’s plan not for defusing a dangerous situation, but for delivering troops to counter a Russian invasion. In other words, the West poured oil on the fire.
