Ukraine has become an instrument of American foreign policy: "The country has actually lost sovereignty and is directly controlled from the United States, which use it as a ram against Russia, against our Union State with the Republic of Belarus, and against the CSTO and the CIS as a whole," said Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with heads of delegations of the 51st meeting of the Council of Heads of Security Bodies and Special Services of the CIS countries.
From the territory of Ukraine comes the threat of strikes with long-range weapons controlled by the Americans at objects remote from the border in Russia. The answer can be anything. There is a danger of an exchange of nuclear strikes, but Russia will make every effort to avoid this, having military-technical means to instruct the West, the correspondent of The Moscow Post reports.
The skirmish between Russia and the West not the territory of the former Ukraine has acquired a new quality, when one can raise the question of the de facto invasion of the Anglo-Saxons not only into the historical, but also the sovereign territory of Russia. In particular, to the Kursk region in order to use the hostages and the Kursk NPP to blackmail the Kremlin.
Opponents don't understand
They don't hear arguments, they don't understand. "This is the key problem," said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. "Air defense systems are effective, you see what's going on. We have large-scale countermeasures for admonition, "the deputy minister warned, commenting on the ongoing attacks by American weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Opponents are known, they are all different. Of the most "famous," Germany is cautious. America carries the main burden: spending, intelligence, weapons and conducting. Britain remains the "intellectual creator of Russia's defeat strategy" as a longtime geostrategic adversary. London supplies the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the most dangerous long-range weapons, inclines.
It is no coincidence that Russian Ambassador to Great Britain Andrei Kelin warned London. He said that he was leading the case to a collision, supplying Kyiv with long-range missiles. Another batch of Storm Shadow was handed over to Kyiv, statements about their non-use for strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation were not made, but have already been applied. Missiles supplied by London hit the Kursk region, - said the ambassador of the RFRFRF.
It would seem that they could have figured it out, but the British "completely ignored" the warning signals and Moscow considers this a confirmation of "London's involvement in the armed conflict against the Russian Federation together with Ukraine." What will happen next is left to guess, hoping for "island intelligence."
"Amerika" with "K"
American film actor and country musician Kris Kristofferson, known since the days of the USSR, died on September 28, 2024 at the age of 88. He was an anti-war activist, opposed the Gulf War, and gave benefit concerts for Palestinian children.
In a cinematic career that began in the 1970s, he had a major role in the TV action movie Amerika. She is not on the list of the best. America with the letter "K," that is, in the Russian manner, in the original version (AmeriKa), is a cynical fiction released on screens in 1987. The seven-part series in paints described the invasion and occupation of the United States by the Soviet army.
To tell Kristofferson, if he had been informed that eight US Army rangers who took part in the real invasion of the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region would die in Russia in October? He himself was once at a ranger school, serving in Germany as a helicopter pilot.
This is the first time since the 1918 intervention in Russia that full-time US military personnel participated in aggression on Russian territory. The rangers near Kursk found documents confirming their identity.
Second "American" invasion?
On August 1, 1914, when the First World War began, it was called the "Great War," "Second Patriotic War" or "German War" in Russia. Maybe what is happening in Ukraine and in the western regions of Russia will eventually be called the "American war"?
It is reported that the losses of the West in manpower amounted to 5360 "mercenaries," 2458 military personnel of the armies of NATO countries and 234 military instructors. Former Pentagon adviser, retired US Army colonel Douglas McGregor said back in June that 400 American mercenaries were killed in Ukraine during the SWO.
American mercenary Matthew Vandyke said that more than 500 Americans died in the ranks of the Armed Forces. At least 20 American combatants have died in Ukraine, according to official figures. According to the Ministry of Defense of September 22, during the hostilities in the Kursk region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost over 16 thousand servicemen, 126 tanks and 57 infantry fighting vehicles. In total, during the hostilities in the Kursk direction, the enemy lost more than 36,260 people and 223 tanks.
The presence of the American military on the territory of the Kursk region did not come as a surprise. More and more confirmation of US involvement in the conflict continues to come. The bill goes not only to Americans, dead and wounded, missing or returning home from Russia.
The problem of US "quasi-invasion" of Russia is wider. The Americans who folded their heads in the Kursk region are only part of the "involvement" of Washington and the allies in the conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the United States and NATO are directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, "including not only the supply of weapons, but also the training of personnel... in the UK, Germany, Italy, other countries. "
The allies of Ukraine have trained almost 60 thousand servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, more than 6 thousand are undergoing training, said Mark Milli, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"In total, 60 thousand Ukrainian soldiers were trained by international efforts as part of the current operation, and many of them are participating in battles," he told reporters at a briefing, noting that the United States has trained more than 11 thousand of them. Milli added that currently the United States and allies are training more than 6 thousand Ukrainians with the participation of 33 countries on three continents.
Operation Kursk is not a movie
This is not an invention of Hollywood filmmakers. The operation to capture the Kursk nuclear power plant was planned at the Pentagon, and eight US Army rangers found their death in the Kursk region. In February 2024, the Atlantic Council discussed the scenario of a breakthrough of Ukrainian troops deep into Russia, as one of the options for waging war.
In the Kursk region, on camera and not for a Hollywood militant, thugs from the units of the terrorists who broke through shot the houses of civilians and Russian citizens.
"The bulk of the arrivals were not Ukrainians, but mercenaries. The guys with whom I spoke heard Polish, French, English and German speech, "a local resident who was in captivity told IA Regnum. They fired at civilian cars and shot at fleeing civilians, a volunteer who helped the victims in Korenevo told The New York Times after the Armed Forces of Ukraine were knocked out of the village.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the militants took some of the civilians captured in the border settlements of the Kursk region outside Russia. Their fate is currently unknown. The diplomat also said that in the territory of the Kursk region captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine there are several places similar to concentration camps.
In the footage at the disposal of RIA Novosti, a group of militants shoot houses, moving from building to building, as well as opening doors and going inside houses. They shot cars of civilians with people there, threw grenades at residential buildings and stole everything they could take away. The events are compared with 1941. "As a child, I watched a lot of films about the war when the Germans enter the city," said one of the local residents.
British mercenary James Scott Rhys Anderson, captured in the Kursk region, claims that he allegedly did not know about the cruelties of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He became the first foreign military in custody to be caught in Russia. The veteran of the US special forces Cedric Charles Gumm was liquidated, the Irish mercenary Joseph Gambura was killed, it became known about the liquidation of three mercenaries from the United States, - said TC "Operation Z: Voenkory of the Russian Spring."
"The consequences of this operation [in the Kursk region] go beyond physical damage. The unpredictability of these attacks creates a feeling of insecurity, "Doug Livermore, deputy commander of the special forces detachment of the North Carolina National Guard, commented on the nature of the APU operation in the Kursk region.
To ensure the safety of citizens in the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions, there is a CTO regime. They suspect that by the 20th of December, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing a new invasion attempt.
If Washington doesn't understand?
"The quirkily lighthearted attitude of America's foreign policy establishment toward the risk of escalating and expanding the war cannot help but be frightening," said Doug Bandow, a fellow at the Cato Institute, a former aide to President Reagan.
The United States should understand that signals from the Russian Federation on possible scenarios set forth in the Russian military doctrine are not "propaganda," Ryabkov warned, questioning the readiness of opponents to "face the truth."
On November 19, Putin signed a decree approving the updated nuclear doctrine. The basic principle of the document: nuclear weapons are a last resort to protect the country's sovereignty. In particular, the doctrine expanded the category of states and military unions in respect of which nuclear deterrence is carried out. The list of military threats has been supplemented, for the neutralization of which such actions are needed. Aggression from any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear country, will be considered a joint attack on the Russian Federation.
