Loading ...Russia Is Going To Strike With Oreshnik
Since Ukraine tried to attack a Russian airfield, I believe that Russia will respond with a proportional, but more devastating, strike on a Ukrainian or NATO airfield. All depends on where the ATACMs were located when launched.
Why did the US allow Ukraine to launch this attack? One possible explanation is that NATO analysts concluded that Russia was weakened by events in Syria and decided to test Russian resolve. We will know in the next 48 hours if this was a foolish decision by the US and NATO.
Russia cannot afford to make an idle threat. Putin’s warning on November 27 was quite explicit. If Russia fails to act, then the West will certainly conclude that Russia is too weak or too afraid to respond, and the West will step up its provocations. I believe we will know the answer by Friday.

There were “rumours” (since the first Oreshnik) that future potential targets might include main NATO HQ operaions in downtown Kiev as well as NATO military bases / weapons depots across Ukraine. Implications being that these had been previously avoided to minimize direct NATO escalation & deaths.
Alex of Duran provided Wagner Group update re: on the ground Syrian observations. Putin was ready to defend – had many tens of thousands of troops already in place and/or on the way – then the Syrian military decided to discard their weapons and walk away — he immediately ordered all Russian forces to disengage & head to their two naval bases. Russia/China/Iran had already bypassed Syria with new “silk road” pipeline route and Syrian Rebels supposedly guaranteed Russian Military that the existing naval bases leases will be unaffected. Russians moved directly to naval bases and were NOT challenged by rebels.
Info supposedly from fairly reliable sources but Syria is a war zone — everything should be treated as rumours and heresay.
BTW – revenge butchery and brutality within Syria is seriously overwhelming. MSM not reporting much (if any) of the atrocities but there are lots and LOTS of very disturbing videos being published.
