Frank Gardner BBC
Security correspondent [Just how much difference will it make to the war in Ukraine if the US does allow Kyiv to fire long-range missiles into Russia? And is it really the escalation Putin claims it to be? Short answer: some, but not much. Ukraine does not have many Storm Shadow missiles and Britain does not have many more to give, so the numbers are quite small. It has already been using them, with Western help in geospatial targeting, against targets in Russian-occupied Ukraine, notably Sevastopol in Crimea. Justin Crump, from Sibylline risk consultancy, points out that since Moscow formally annexed those territories then, in the Kremlin’s view, Ukraine has already been firing these missiles into Russia. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has identified around 200 Russian bases that would be in range of Storm Shadows fired from Ukraine. Some further additional bases would come into range if the US approves the use of ATACMS missiles in Russia. But it has been widely reported that, in anticipation of this permission being given, Russia has already moved the bulk of its air assets and ammunition deeper into Russia, beyond the range of Ukraine’s missiles.] [The UK Foreign Office has called Russian allegations of spying against British diplomats "completely baseless" Moscow stripped six officials of their accreditation - the BBC understands the diplomats involved left Russia many weeks ago Meanwhile, UK PM Sir Keir Starmer is in Washington, and will meet US President Biden later] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7858qqzyv8t |

Russia are struggling against Ukraine, they couldnt cope against NATO so this is all hot air and as Starmer said, they were the ones that invaded Ukraine, they could stop it all now by simply getting out of Ukraine

Putin can threaten all he wants, if he cannot even win against Ukraine, i bet he wouldn't stand one tiny chance against NATO lol
yes Russia can stop it now, by getting out of Ukraine, and they don't have to get back into europe, they can simply build on strong trade alliances with the Asian continent and getting in terms of the football, into the AFC so russian teams are also eligible for the asian champions league for example

We get as much propaganda here in the West as the Russian people do in Russia.
If our country allow the Ukraine to fire missiles into Russia, the likelihood is, we would have an all out nuclear war. Even if its not a nuclear war, it will be a war with the West and because Russia is fully supported by China, North Korea and much of the ME since the Palestine Israel conflict, we wouldn't just be reading about it in the national press. |
