What happens now, after the Ukraine’s ATACMS strike on an arms storage site in Bryansk oblast, Russian Federation?
Shortly after my latest interview on ‘Dialogue Works’ at noon European time, global and Russian media were reporting that a swarm of 6 ATACMS missiles was fired in the middle of the night from Ukraine against an arms depot in the region of Russia just bordering Kursk called Bryansk. Official Russian sources say that they shot down 5 of the missiles, but the sixth got through and reached its target causing explosions at the depot.
And so the question of how the Russians will respond to the use of ATACMS against their home territory now moves from abstract to real and immediate status. It became the central point in my discussion with Judge Andrew Napolitano half an hour ago on his ‘Judging Freedom’ channel.
I strongly recommend this program to the community not so much for what I said, though I trust readers of these pages will find additional comfort in my remarks, but principally because of the stunning, brilliant 2-minute speech by Donald Trump that Judge Napolitano put up on screen at minute 9, asking my opinion.
See Dr. Gilbert Doctorow : Kremlin Reaction to US Escalation.
For those who want to see NATO completely restructured and re-purposed, for those who believe, as Trump says here, that the greatest threat to civilization is not Russia or China, but the United States leadership – these two minutes will bowl you over.
For my contribution to the debate in alternative media over the ATACMS issue, I call out my comment on why the Kremlin must be delighted that these missiles are totally under U.S. control rather than control by the maniacs in Kiev. The Kremlin through its ambassador to the United Nations Nebenzia may claim, as he does in a video clip shown by the Judge, that Biden’s decision demonstrates the utter irresponsibility of Washington as it leads the world towards a global conflict, but that is propaganda and nothing more. Yes, dear friends, as I have said for some time, the Russians are not bunny rabbits.
After all, the ATACMS were directed against a legitimate military target, not against residential housing, civilian infrastructure or, heaven forbid, the nuclear power plant in Kursk. That is the only kind of targeting that Zelensky and his army are capable of.
And so, I conclude that we may all sleep calmly through the 60 days to come.
