Russia’s response to what Washington’s “clients” in Ukraine do may be “asymmetrical” and stronger than expected, the senior diplomat has warned
The US is close to making a “fatal” miscalculation in its attempts to deal with Russia and the Ukraine conflict, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has warned.
The senior diplomat commented on Monday on the reported US decision to let Kiev use American weapons outside what Washington considers Ukrainian territory. The move is supposedly limited to a small piece of Russia’s Belgorod Region relevant to hostilities across the border in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region.
”I’d like to warn American actors against miscalculations that can lead to fatal consequences. For some unclear reason they underestimate how serious a response they could face,” Ryabkov told journalists.
Up to then the stated US policy had been to ban such attacks, to prevent triggering “World War III.” Kiev has said it is disappointed by the change, as it wants permission to fire long-range American weapons deep inside Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned of “serious consequences” of potential long-range strikes “considering the [countries’] parity in strategic weapons.”
Ryabkov urged American policymakers to “spend some of their time, which they probably waste on computer games, judging by their air-headed approach to serious issues” on considering Putin’s words.
The official also warned that Russia could react asymmetrically to a Ukrainian attack on its nuclear deterrence, as Moscow would hold the US responsible. Officials in Washington “have given Kiev a permit for any crimes, any action, and do nothing to curb provocations by their clients… But the US does not get this for free and will feel consequences,” the deputy FM warned.
Ukrainian sources have claimed to the media that Kiev targeted two early-warning radar stations in Russia last month, allegedly damaging one. The facilities in question are designed to detect intercontinental ballistic missile launches and provide a response window to the Russian leadership.
The Russian Defense Ministry did not comment on the reports.

Or was that Jackson Hole in Wyoming?

Sadly as a patriotic American I have been rendered powerless to stop the lunacy of what was my government !
I often feel like I am tied to a chair in a room while a 2 year old plays with a loaded hand gun !
The odds the child will become board or distracted and move on to other things is a distinct possibility .
I fear the ridiculously infantile actions of all government bodies and agencies their will be no distractions powerful enough to avoid fatal consequences !
For some reason these Washington DC parasites think allowing a US supplied weapon to be used against Russian citizens in Russia will not have a deadly decisive response !
Putin and Russian Military do not bluff when attacked and they will respond with serious resolve !
Russia is not the bully on the block , we are and with some luck US interests may escape with what will amount to a bloody nose . Unfortunate for those Americans that will fill a yet to be determined number of Flag Draped Coffins .
Perhaps President Biden should take another look at his watch …
Well that’s the genius of the USA strategy…which seems to be “open up the border wide while supplying weapons to a second party to attack a third party who will never send thousands of wet work guys into USA to take out the leaders causing all the disturbances in the first place.”

That’s how these things usually begin…with one or more fatal miscalculations. Funny. We can see everyone else’s, but not our own.
