Starmer supplies 12 Storm Shadows fired at small Russian village
Thu 9:01 am +00:00, 21 Nov 2024 2Why fire them at a remote village in Kursk?
Is this acknowledgement that Russia can shoot down the Storm Shadow in heavily defended areas?
Missiles are made in Britain, based on a French missile from the 1980s.
There are very few Storm Shadows and Scalps (French version). There are 40 Scalps in Ukraine and only 50 ATACMs. Shooting 12 missiles at a small village is bizarre.
German equivalent missile is also in very short supply.
Russia has yet to officially reply to the Storm Shadow attack.
The targeting data and terrain guidance programming can only be used with active American involvement. That would have to authorised by the Biden administration.
Biden has authorised the supply of anti personnel mines to Ukraine. Ukraine is a signatory to the international convention banning anti personnel mines. Biden has campaigned to ban them in the past. Now he’s authorising them.
The arrival of North Korean troops is the justification for the missile strikes. Yet not one NK trooper has been identified as fighting on the front. The NK troopers narrative seems like a fake media story, created for the purpose of authorising missile and mine escalation.
The decision to fire the missiles must have been made several weeks ago – before the election in all probability. To embarrass Trump, or box in Harris if she had won.
Why are the Embassies all closing in Kiev?
The Russians have never considered targeting western embassies. Israel has struck embassies in the past. The US has struck embassies (Belgrade Chinese embassy). The Russians have never struck an embassy in any previous war.
The Russians intend to retaliate but it will be in a way which is not expected, or cannot be predicted. Putin is not currently talking publicly. It’s a sign historically that the Russians are making serious plans.
Peskov says Russia does not wish to freeze the conflict as proposed by Trump, and that Russia wants to achieve her objectives.
Alexander outlines more media shenanigans – Reuters named as the perpetrator of untruth, also The Daily Telegraph. There is a huge misinformation exercise underway – intended as a way to undercut the incoming Trump administration’s options.
Trump allegedly wants to wind the war down. The Biden crew want to escalate the war. Trump is planning to send a Russian speaking envoy to work in Moscow.
The British however are obsessed with Ukraine and desperately want to defeat Russia in some way. They pushed Ukraine into the Krinky fiasco. Now they are pushing Ukraine into a missile firing fiasco. Trump will not be pleased any more than the Russians. What is Starmer doing?
Starmer’s string pullers are desperate it seems. This is yet more evidence that the Emperor has no clothes. This attack is only really for narrative purposes in western media. It’s not a serious war tactic, it’s a flea bite on Russia. And the Bear has big fangs and plenty of targets to hit in retaliation
I’ve been away since early Monday morning without my computer, but I see on returning home that the news hasn’t changed one whit.
