Readers are advised to ignore the NYT’s reference to Crimea as “a part of the country (Ukraine) that Russia seized in 2014”. Crimea has long been tied to Russia – more so than Ukraine – and its predominately Russian-speaking population voted overwhelmingly to rejoin the Russian Federation in 2014.
Only then did Russian military units move into secure Crimea. Our comments follow. Ed.
The Missile Ukraine Wants Is One the U.S. Says It Doesn’t Need
John Ismay – The New York Times Oct 6, 2022
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Pentagon officials have sent the Ukrainian military an array of equipment totaling billions of dollars. But one powerful weapon, called the Army Tactical Missile System, has become part of a debate about the limits of U.S. support for its ally.
The long-range missile — known as ATACMS and pronounced like “attack ’ems” — can strike targets 190 miles away with a warhead containing about 375 pounds of explosives. It can be fired from the HIMARS mobile launchers that the United States has provided Ukraine, as well as from older M270 launchers sent from Britain and Germany.
Ukrainian officials say the missile could help them regain Crimea, a part of the country that Russia seized in 2014. But Pentagon officials insist they are already giving Ukraine the weapons it most needs: Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, or GMLRS.
And this week, a senior Pentagon official said that the guided rockets, which the United States has sent Ukrainian forces by the thousands, can reach most of their targets, even in Crimea.
Why has this weapon been such a sensitive issue?
It comes down to this: concern in the White House that Ukraine could use the long-range missile to strike targets deep inside Russia, and that President Vladimir V. Putin might respond by escalating the war, possibly by invading a neighboring NATO country.
“We’re trying to avoid World War III,” President Biden has said.
But President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine says the weapon is crucial to his country’s ability to launch a wider counteroffensive after its recent advances. He has also insisted that he has no plans to strike Russian cities or target civilians.

In plain language America’s puppet president is talking crap. The Biden administration and their allies have committed themselves to fueling conflict within Russia and its neighbours. However, they cannot be open and upfront about this as it risks igniting a much wider conflict beyond Russia and its neighbours, and the Western public would naturally reject such a proposal.
So the Biden administration now has to inch toward such a conflict surreptitiously. That’s why Joe’s handlers have no doubt instructed him to say things like “we’re trying to avoid WWIII”, when if they are not too careful that’s exactly what could happen.
Under Putin Russia’s military has been transformed from an outdated post Soviet behemoth into a modern professional fighting force, that poses a potential obstacle for Western designs.
So right now America and its allies seem intent on fuelling a drawn-out bloody campaign right on Russia’s border. The objective seems to be to weaken Russia through such a conflict and thereby prevent it from challenging the West’s overall plan for continued global domination.
To this end a drawn out bloody conflict in the newly declared Russian republics in former eastern Ukraine, and further east in Crimea, would be ideal. A full blown military confrontation between Russia and the West would not be fit for purpose however, as Russia might even come out victorious.
So for the time being at least, we can expect the West to keep providing arms and support to Ukraine for it to continue fighting. As the saying goes: Washington (and London) are ready to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.
However, that also means that the West won’t provide the weapons necessary for Ukraine to strike too deeply into Russia.
That might provoke Russia too much and then it might turn its attention on those arming Ukraine, and that’s the last thing the West wants. Nonetheless, that could change in the coming weeks, if Putin decides to deal with the root cause of Russia’s problem with Ukraine.
If that happens, he might opt to strike deeper into Western Europe and then a much wider conflict might ensue. We will know in the coming weeks. Ed.

So the SBS/SAS has nuked the kirch Bridge. Scott Ritter said minor damage, but he failed to see what I saw straight away was considerable damage.
It is now time, ‘I hope’, for Russia to nuke London, and Washington.
I seriously can’t see how Putin can resist the mounting pressure to take action outside of UKraine.
The other day I said a false flag nuke in UKraine, close to the Polish border, well, they’ve use a micronuke on the Kirsh Bridge. Russia must act, and very soon.
Carl Jones, moron “silliness agent”, time for you to STFU. Yes we have previously heard your provocations for nuclear war. I doubt you could read an entire book since you rarely read the articles you obsessively comment on here, but if you could read, you could begin with “Controversy of Zion” where the author journalist presents the historic arming of Russia by the jews, right out of the supposedly hermetic Manhattan Project. The Einstein-Tzeilard letter written by two jews was hand delivered by the banker tribesman Sachs. Putin’s nukes were entirely the work therefore of the jewish global credit monopoly’s promotion of world war and nuclear weapons, just like America’s nukes were. The central banks are all private and stand above all the nations, which they are not the friends of at all. Who pays the piper calls the tune. You sing the same song the jews do, facilitating nuclear Deuteronomy.
So CJ, here’s a puzzle- if you want Russia to open nuclear war does it mean you have gone MAD? Have you been drinking perhaps? Depressed? Medicated? Are you a jewish bot? Were you ever institutionalized? Most of us were, in schools and the tax and conscription systems. We have all been made to build that pyramid with the levitating capstone. It can blow yer mind to have to take part of, so I’m just asking if that is what happened to you, that you can figure out.
BTW anyone whose literacy had allowed them to examine evidence they later felt compelled as a public service to comment on, knows that what you claim to represent as an authority on nuclear weapons is a fictional persona. The Davy Crockett micronukes, the only ones ever tested atmospherically, and witnessed by RFK who subsequently helped ban those tests, had a fatal blast radius of one third mile, and that did not happen on the Crimean bridge. Your chronic diarrhea spew is discrediting the forae in which you squat…doing the rest of us no favors with your opinions on everything and anything.
IMHO V Putin has to reactivate “SMERSH” Units ASAP !
well said peter
cj (prob c*nt jew) squirming
I agree with Peter. Carl talks absolute utter shite on every article. You don’t have the inside track. If you did then you wouldn’t be commenting on here.
The US is controlled by crazies who won’t stop. The Ukes will get such a weapon and will undoubtedly use it. The Russians will respond by targeted strikes into Europe itself – railheads and distrubution centres for weapons, and so on.
The Russians will avoid civilian casualties as much as possible – which will be a mistake, as only mass rioting in NATO countries will force a stop (if Euro politicians think they are going to end up hanging on lamposts, they will do anything to save their own skins, even abandoning their US masters).
