The point is not whether the June 1 attack on the Tupolev nuclear bombers across Russia can be called a terrorist operation or an act of war; nor is the point whether President Donald Trump was knowing in advance, during or afterwards; nor is the point whether a proxy intelligence service or US intelligence agency was engaged. The point is that the gravest breach of Russia’s national security since 1941 has succeeded.
The Empire has now escalated to nuclear war against Russia by demonstrating that it can and will attack the deterrent nuclear balance between Russia and the US, that it has the will and means to defeat Russia’s capacity to defend against and deter a first strike of ingenuity, countrywide coordination, simultaneity, and surprise. Like never before, the red line of mutual assured destruction (MAD) has been crossed by Russia’s warfighting enemies.
Those in the US and in the allied states who believe nuclear war can be waged against Russia and won believe they have demonstrated that this is the way to MAGA by MEGA — Make American Great Again, Make the Empire Great Again.
“A decision has been made,” President Vladimir Putin told government ministers on May 22, “to create a buffer security zone along the Russian border. Our Armed Forces are working on this now. They are also effectively suppressing enemy firing points.” After the June 1 attacks, it is obvious that the enemy’s firing points have not been suppressed across the border; instead, they have multiplied inside the country. Their next targets may be the country’s nuclear power plants, nuclear enrichment centres, nuclear weapons storages, nuclear submarine berths, mobile nuclear missile launchers.
For the moment the Ukrainians hold, or think they hold, the initiative; behind them the US, the French, Germans, and British believe they control the escalation required to force Putin to submit.
