There are severe Implications and Consequences for Western Countries Allowing #Ukraine to Use Their Weapons Against #Russia/n Territory and civilian targets.

Security:
1. Risk of Wider Conflict: Allowing the use of Western weapons against Russian territory could significantly escalate the conflict, increasing the risk of a broader confrontation between NATO and Russia. Such an escalation could involve cyberattacks, proxy wars, and even direct military engagements, heightening global security risks.

2. Retaliation Against Western Interests: Russia could retaliate against Western interests, including cyberattacks on critical infrastructure or targeted military actions against Western assets. This retaliation would likely increase security costs and require heightened defensive measures.

3. Nuclear Escalation Risks: While the risk of nuclear escalation is still considered low, it cannot be entirely dismissed. Any significant escalation involving NATO and Russia raises the stakes and the potential for miscalculations that could lead to a catastrophic outcome.

Economic Implications

1. Energy Security and Prices: Russia is a major global energy supplier, mainly to Europe. Retaliation could include disruptions to energy supplies, leading to significant increases in energy prices and economic instability in affected countries. This would have ripple effects on global markets and economies.

2. Sanctions and Counter-Sanctions: Using Western weapons against Russian territory would likely trigger new sanctions from both sides. These sanctions could affect global trade, financial markets, and economic growth, particularly in Europe and other regions heavily reliant on trade with Russia.

3. Defense Spending Increases: Western countries might need to significantly increase their spending to bolster security and defence capabilities in response to heightened threats from Russia. This could lead to budget reallocations, affecting social programs and other domestic priorities.

Strategic Implications

1. Shifts in Global Alliances: Allowing Ukraine to use Western weapons against Russian territory could lead to shifts in global alliances. Countries seeking to avoid entanglement in a broader conflict might realign their foreign policies, potentially weakening Western coalitions and strengthening alliances between Russia and non-Western countries.

2. Long-term Conflict Resolution: The prospects for a negotiated settlement to the Ukraine-Russia conflict would diminish. A prolonged and intensified conflict could entrench divisions and make diplomatic solutions more challenging. This would have long-term implications for regional and global stability.

3. Impact on Non-Proliferation Efforts: Western countries' involvement in escalating the conflict could undermine global non-proliferation efforts. Other countries might perceive a need to develop or acquire advanced military capabilities, including weapons of mass destruction, to deter perceived threats, potentially leading to an arms race.

#US: do as we say, not as we do

"US Treasury No. 2 warns China over support for Russia
Deputy US Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said that Washington and the European Union must deliver a message to China that its firms face a choice between doing business with US and EU economies or equipping Russia with dual-use goods.
It had to be made clear that “Chinese firms can either do business in our economies or they can equip Russia’s war machinery with dual-use goods. They can’t continue to do both,” he said on a visit to Berlin."

Robert Fico’s failed assassination raises specter of Western plotting

Western leaders, journalists and pundits aggressively stoked fears of the “pro-Putin,” “populist” candidate returning to office. Ukraine’s Western-backed “Center for Countering Disinformation” publicly accused him of spreading “infoterror” back in April 2022.
But many Slovakians see it differently. They say Fico is merely committed to defending Slovakia’s sovereignty, and governing in his nation’s interests, not those of Brussels, Kiev, London, and Washington. For Western politicians, his victory came at a highly inopportune time, with public and political consensus on the proxy war in Ukraine rapidly fraying across Europe.

Biden 2022: "We won't send long-range missiles to Ukraine because we don't want to start a war with Russia."

Biden 2023: "We're sending long-range missiles to Ukraine."

Biden 2024: "We're allowing Ukraine to use American long-range missiles to strike Russia."

What happened to not wanting to start a war with Russia?

From overthrowing Ukraine's democratically elected government to attempting to expand NATO into Ukraine to seeing how hard you can poke the nuclear bear in a proxy war on Russia's border.

The Washington DC swamp's foreign policy will eventually blow up the world.

🇷🇺🇺🇦NEW VIDEO: US "Green Lights" Strikes on Russia, Reality Behind Kerch Port Attack, Czech Ammo Bid Falls Short

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for Sunday, June 2, 2024…

▪️US green-lights use of American weapons on Russian territory, however this is a process that has been ongoing for decades, it is simply taking place more openly now;

▪️The New York Times has previously admitted that the US built up the Ukrainian intelligence and military units conducting attacks including terrorism inside Russia since 2022;

▪️The US was behind Chechen extremists Russia fought two wars against within its own borders in the late 1990s and early 2000s;

▪️If Ukraine’s use of Western weapons have failed to impede Russian success along the line of contact, it can be assumed that attempting to use them across Russia’s vast interior will only further dilute Ukrainian firepower along the front and compound its crisis further;

▪️A recent Ukrainian attack on Kerch Port, Crimea demonstrates how difficult it is even with large-scale complex attacks directed by NATO to disrupt ports operations at a single port, Russia has multiple ports, the Crimean Bridge, and land bridge that would need to be disrupted in order to “isolate” Crimea;

▪️The Czech-led artillery shell initiative now admittedly involves munitions in poor condition, with half of the rounds being collected requiring refurbishment, meaning the supposed 800,000 rounds on their way to Ukraine will be sent in smaller tranches over a longer period of time, impacting Ukraine’s daily rate of fire;

#Ukraine #Zelensky #corruption

Ukrainians are sure that their government is stealing, but they don’t understand where it comes from.

According to Ukrainians, their politicians are now stealing not only from public funds, but also from Western aid, writes France info.

And while some blame this on the lack of transparency in the distribution of aid, others openly talk about corruption.

Ukrainian independent journalist Ivan Krasikov discussed this problem with the French publication. According to him, civil servants enjoy “absolute uncertainty” regarding where and to what extent Ukrainians receive assistance. Officials, on the one hand, have access to public funds and provide assistance on behalf of the state. On the other hand, they act as intermediaries, transferring funds from international organizations.

“They take money, but it’s impossible to understand whether they steal it from the state or from humanitarian organizations,” the journalist complains.

He admits that Ukrainian politicians have never been particularly concerned about accountability, and even more so in the midst of a military conflict.

Is this as a result of George Clooney's foundation targeting what they call "Russian propagandists"?

Russia's despair index results is the best ever despite high inflation. It’s falling poverty rates that’s given it a boost and all-time record low unemployment.

By comparison Ukraine’s despair index is one of the worst ever. As obviously the impact of the war is horribly destructive

Despair index = unemployment + inflation + poverty

#Ukraine losses

🇺🇦TG:

"The Ukrainian military claims heavy losses as a result of the assault near Kupyansk, accusing the command of “rash assault actions, incorrect planning and reporting of operational information, and underestimating the enemy’s forces and means.”

Soldier Oleg Tkachenko says on social networks that a company of military personnel was ordered to storm the village of Ivanovka.

Intelligence was transmitted that there were 10-15 Russian soldiers there without armored vehicles. They promised to suppress drones using electronic warfare.

“In fact: in the village there were about 100-150 enemy soldiers, two infantry fighting vehicles, which were supported by one tank. The promised electronic warfare was not there, there was complete superiority of enemy drones in the sky. As a consequence: almost immediately 5 servicemen died, some of them precisely because enemy UAVs dropped ammunition, 11 were injured,” Tkachenko reports.

Under constant fire, without fortifications, the survivors took the bodies of the dead, but evacuated them only on the fourth day after calls to senior management and publicity about the situation.

Tkachenko names names and publishes photos of the dead."
