Kiev Trembling Before Russian Revenge. Who Shakes It?

Kiev Trembling Before Russian Revenge. Who Shakes It?

Illustrative Image

American intelligence warns that Moscow may launch an unprecedented missile strike on Ukraine and Kiev in the next 48 hours. Washington informed its partners in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Poland of an imminent Russian attack. The main targets are believed to become the decision making centers in the capital.

The U.S. Embassy in Kiev: We received specific information of a potential significant air attack on November 20. Out of an abundance of caution, the Embassy will be closed, and Embassy employees are being instructed to shelter in place. The US Embassy recommends US citizens be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced.

Western observers note that it is a very unusual warning, which is being published for the first time since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, although Kiev and most cities of Ukraine are regularly subjected to air strikes by the Russian army.

As a result, following the United States, Italy, Spain and Greece were temporarily closing their embassies in the Ukrainian capital.

Bloomberg reports that Trump is going to urgently hold talks with Putin on Ukraine in the near future. Media claim that the coming US administration wants to dissuade Russia from launching strikes on targets in Kiev.

Ukrainian media reported that the Russian Armed Forces were allegedly preparing to launch their RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile from Kapustin Yar in the Astrakhan region. Special effects have also been added. In Kiev, the air alarm was turned on, the population was driven into the subway, after which the alarm was turned off.

At the moment, any strikes are yet to be launched on Kiev. There is a high probability that the hysteria will not be justified but it has important political goal.

Moscow’s rival, who is far from Kiev, is trying to gain momentum and take the Russian leadership on string to start playing the escalation game. They are trying to force Moscow to play not their own rules, which are not based on a military balance of power not on victories on the battlefields. They are trying to defeat Moscow in one of the key battles that takes place in the political and information spheres. After all, while a Ukrainian soldier is shedding blood on the fronts and his goal is to repel an attack on his trench, the main warmongers are far from the front strewn with corpses, they are waging a proxy war not wanting to foul hands with blood. Their main goal is to inflict maximum damage to Russia, and this can only be achieved by weakening it from within. That is why the political and information confrontation is so important for the puppet Kiev regime, which is fiercely fighting using the weapons of fakes and provocations, including bloody operations on the ground that do not make any military sense.

One of the key political battles is currently underway. The rates have risen sharply. The West, which has found itself in a desperate situation, is trying to put Moscow on time pressure while forcing it to give instant responses to any provocation.

That is why the first strike by the American ATACMS targeted at a military facility in the border region, and not Moscow or the Crimean Bridge, for example. It had exclusively political and propaganda purposes. That is why the American embassy’s warning that a powerful blow to Kiev was about to follow was not long to wait. Moscow is being pushed to launch an immediate retaliatory strike and responde to permission to attack Russian territory with Western long-range missiles.

If the Russian military does not respond to the strikes of ATACMS in the Bryansk region after numerous official claims, including by Russian President Putin, Moscow risks suffering a severe image defeat.  The West expects that by not responding, the Kremlin will lose confidence and this will fuel internal destabilization in the country.

On the other hand, the response to the escalation will complicate Moscow’s relations with the United States, in particular with Trump, who is coming back to power. The sharp escalation of the confrontation means that some of the elite clans of the US warmongers are out of control and playing their own game. Russia is trying to localize the war and limit it on the territory of Ukraine, but they are trying to deprive it of this opportunity by all means.

So far, it seems that the Kremlin is not following the provocation. The Kremlin representative once again claimed that Moscow is ready for contacts and negotiations on Ukraine, including with Trump, but the option of freezing the conflict is not acceptable. It is important for Russia to achieve its goals.

given all his contributions by staying neutral the first 7 years after the 2014 maidan coup and remaining within the western proper “commerce”/institutions post-9/11… will putin and his peanut gallery peskov, lavrov, zahkarova and the ambassador “bitch” to the un nebenzya who gave a speech not long ago about how sacred the un/unsc is in it’s equality to all “it’$” member(s)…. be buried with them in either or both of those locales?…

yet another stupid statement. in ww2 churchill tried to goad stalin into invading poland ‘to stop hitler’. stalin ignored him and hitler invaded poland first, forcing london to declare war on germany – rather than russia, which was their original intention. the west just doesn’t understand russia. russia doesn’t bluff, nor does it make decisions based on ‘image’. that is a childish western concept that doesn’t work in russia.

wtf england set hitler up silly england’s pm told hitler that england didn’t give a rats arse what hd did in.europe and the bank of england secretly funded him anyway using layers of deceits allegedly .thats why when england changed pms and declared war hitler was totally stunned he went into shock literally and it took him.weeks to recover.

oh, you mean like clinton launched on belgrade in his illegal war as albright once described it.

controlling the left bank of the ukraine to the dnieper would help secure russia’s balance of power.

having a small reactionary force army that is incapable of offensive action but looks big on paper is a potemkin army

small armies that have limited military industrial complex behind them can’t be big players on the world stage.

and pretending to be a humanitarian doesn’t impress anyone in the west, certainly not anyone who makes decisions.

but russia dont have enough missile to destroy kiev administrative centers just because the incompetent military staff didnt develope the brahmos air to ground and modified the powerful supersonic naval missile “vulcan, termit,balzac..to launch them from ground

kotromanic

they havent even hit one descision center so why are you saying its cause of lack of missiles. they clearly dont want to.

Joseph Day

why would you. look at the decisions they have been making, let them keep making decisions

Vanya

why doesn’t russia have a satellite constellation that can observe the warzone 24/7?

very strange that the nation which first launched a satellite into orbit lacks such basic space based surveillance capabilities.

Annon

wrong only trump can stop them by aligning with russian. your methods theirs .

Edgar Zetar

what amazing piece of propaganda. congrats. i don’t know if it is so good to play the nuclear war by usa empire and russia. usa empire and trump also wanted to achieve peace but they are looking for a better peace treaty so they are bluffing to give ukraine all support. in the other side russia knows that is not in the best interests of russia federation to continue war and they are looking for an exit too. i hope nobody would push the button while they are bluffing.

rusko by malo odpovedať zrkadlovo. udrieť na usa v červenom mori pomocou husiov a v sýrii zase pomocou sýrskej armády. rakety a obslužný personál by mali dodať rusi, tlačítka by stlačili bojovníci husiov a vojaci sýrskej armády. tým by bolo všetko ako sa hovorí kóšer. mysleniu zdar a svetu mier!!!

so no nukes and after “unpresedented attack” ukraine will launch himars to russia and it will be business as usual. another red line crossed and putin did nothing.

putin should sell 100 nukes to iran and give 30 nukes to syria. but putin is too pussy to do even that. change your president. russia needs a president with basketball sized balls, not pea sized.

what is with the nuke talk? the russians won’t even blow up bridges. everything is ‘special’.

it is incredible how putin abandons his middle eastern allies to their fate and leaves them at the feet of israel. so it is logical that these allies turn their backs on him as iran is beginning to do, which has stopped its centrifuges and appears to renounce its nuclear sovereignty.

running with the hare while chasing with the hounds has long been standard u.s. practice. possible because so many such as yeltsin, gorbachev and their proto-capitalists were desperately anxious to believe the promises of their ideological hero, just as iran appears to be at the moment. trump is a con-man, who would have been a classic russian oligarch had he been born there.

ukraine is getting smaller every day. west is rotting and self-destructing, ever more desperate. putin needs only to outlast the anglo-saxons, not defeat them.

Janne Kankaanpää

it is terribly stupid to let ukraine bomb your factories and military bases with us bombs and do nothing. if mexico bombed oil facilities and us factories with russian bombs.. do you think us would think two seconds to use tactical nukes? us is now bombing russian critical infrastructure for free.

ukraine has not got smaller one square meter because any of russian military success has not been legitimized yet. do you think russia got any smaller by ukraine occupying parts of kursk province? russia is the same size as always, so is ukraine.

“ukrainian media reported that the russian armed forces were allegedly preparing to launch their rs-26 rubezh…””

a r-36 with unitary warhead modernized with guidance components from the khinzal would make more sense. if the sort of impact speed one could squeeze out of this, one wouldn’t even need a traditional warhead, just deliver ten tons of free tungsten to kybb.

do as the americans, send teams with technical knowledge to the houtis, provide with the newest anti-naval weapons. each storm or atcams attack will result in an attack on a western oil cargo ship. can easily be done for 2 months, maximm damage to western economy.
