On Friday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg joined calls for Ukraine to be able to use NATO-provided weapons to strike Russian territory, a step that would mark a major escalation in the proxy war.
“The time has come for allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they have put on the use of weapons they have donated to Ukraine,” Stoltenberg told The Economist.
“Especially now when a lot of the fighting is going on in Kharkiv, close to the border, to deny Ukraine the possibility of using these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory makes it very hard for them to defend themselves,” he added.
Russia’s offensive in Kharkiv has prompted calls from many members of Congress, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), for President Biden to allow Ukraine to use US-provided missiles in strikes on Russian territory. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is reportedly leading the charge within the administration to get the restriction lifted.
Russia has made clear that it could have a major response to NATO missiles hitting its territory. After UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said Ukraine could use British missiles on Russian territory, Russia warned the UK that it could strike British military sites in Ukraine and “beyond” in response.
Ukraine has been using US and other Western-provided missiles to target Crimea, which has been controlled by Russia since 2014. But Russia appears to be drawing a red line when it comes to attacks on territory inside the Russian mainland.
Hawks in the US downplay the risk of escalation, but Russia just launched drills simulating the use of tactical nuclear weapons in response to provocative rhetoric from Western officials, including the talk of potentially sending NATO troops to Ukraine.
We really are ruled by End Timers; don’t they have to sacrifice a red heifer first?
Nope. By the time the missiles start flying the End Timers will have been raptured up to Heaven. I say, good riddance!
More likely to burn in Hell if there is a God.
They have one massive underground bunker paid for by your know who.
Hopefully Washington DC goes first!!!
With Tel Aviv, London, Paris, and Berlin.
They are not competent enough, they even make it a messy ending.

NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg wants to attack Russia.
He is from Norway so hopefully Oslo can receive similar treatment!!!!
The leadership of the Western democracies is a gang of criminals, traitors of their nations. They sold the nations to the leeches the MIC and Israel, while filling their own pockets.
Sunak has promised the return of conscription and DC has a bill to auto enroll everyone with selective service registration. Good times ahead.

Extremely well referenced and accurately, as well as, articulately presented.
Herr Stoltenberg’s head is firmly planted up his own arse.
Theyre wanting Gaza for all of us.
Shouldn’t these nut jobs not just be put on suicide watch but relieved of all power and kept away from anything sharper than a rubber band?
I’m confused as to how this will work out well for Ukraine. Or anyone else on the planet.
It’s just pipe dreaming colonial thinking…!
Maybe Stoltenberg should obtain a NATO Weapon and be sent to Russian Territory?
Russia can at any time destroy the presidential residence and the parliament in Kiev. (While Zelensky sends a drone, directed by NATO, to to a pinprick attack against the Kremlin.)
This should make Zelensky think twice before he starts shelling Russian cities with missiles.
But on the other hand Ukraine has already been shelling Belgorod, which is why Russia attacked the border area by Kharkov to drive back the artillery. (Something the media never mention.)
What weapons is Ukraine using, if not those already being delivered to them by the USA/EU/NATO? It is ridiculous to think that Zionist/MADMAN Zelensky would not use whatever he has at hand. This is a propaganda excuse, so people think Zelensky’s FAILURE is because he doesn’t have weapons. The air is so heavy with BS, how is it that we are all still alive?
When Stoltenberg speaks it is Washington talking. Firstly it shows their utter desperation and is as close to an acknowledgment of defeat one can go without using the actual words.
Secondly a strike from their proxy Ukraine on Russia with about as much certainty one can have about the straightforward validity of the Pythagorean theorem in Euclidean space, is going to be considered a strike by the US on Russia. We are then entering that stage of the first plausible attempt at self-extinction in the history of evolution in wich there is a direct war between the US and Russia.
