Scott Ritter says the attack on Russia’s strategic bombers was a British operation that the CIA knew about. https://www.youtube.com/live/5p_faUdJT3w
According to the White House, Trump was not informed. As Russian war doctrine calls for a strategic response to such an attack, both British and US intelligence risked launching a nuclear attack on the country or countries that Russia decided was responsible.
In other words, security agencies, not the president or Congress can launch a nuclear war. A stop must be put to the unaccountability of “security agencies” as clearly they have an independence of action that makes us very insecure.
Putin avoided his responsibility as defined by Russian war doctrine by classifying the attacks as terrorism and not acts of war. Putin substituted pretense for reality and has accepted an attack on Russia’s triad of nuclear forces as a non-event in order to keep alive the Kremlin’s unrealistic hopes of a peace deal that could turn into a broader agreement.
The ever-widening war continues to widen. The consequence of Putin’s good will is likely to be more provocative attacks. Sooner or later Russia will have to respond or surrender.
Can Reality Any Longer Be Acknowledged?

The attack on Russian strategic forces by Ukraine, with or without President Trump’s knowledge and with or without help from Washington and the British, could have been the most dangerous event in East-West relations during my lifetime. The reason is that recently revised Russian war doctrine states that an attack, even by a non-nuclear country, on the Russian strategic triad requires a strategic response. Strategic usually means nuclear or at least a disabling response.
Putin dodged the responsibility (more later), but no one knew for certain that he would. In other words, whoever is responsible for the attack on Russia’s strategic bombers subjected Ukraine, Europe, the US to the possibility of nuclear attack, depending on whom the Russians decided was responsible. This person or persons is a madman, a maniac who must be identified and removed from his position. Try to imagine how it is possible for, say Zelensky, to launch an attack that could result in nuclear war between the US and Russia. How can control over whether or not the US faces nuclear war be in the hands of Zelensky? If Zelensky is responsible, the US and NATO have a massive failure in command and control. If Trump or someone in the Trump administration gave the green light, they should be removed for committing the most potentially dangerous act during my lifetime.
The extraordinarily reckless and extremely dangerous attack on Russia’s nuclear triad is being treated by all concerned as a nothing event, a mere terrorist act, not an act of war. The fact that there is no acknowledgement in Washington, Europe, Moscow, or the media of the seriousness of an attack on Russian strategic forces, and thereby no measures put in place to prevent such dangerous acts, means either full scale, not proxy, war between Russia and the West or Russia’s surrender. Perhaps Putin would like to surrender in order to avoid nuclear war, but he won’t be permitted to surrender.
Putin took the lead in burying the seriousness of the attack on Russia’s nuclear triad. By designating the attack a “terrorist act” he evades the responsibility that Russian strategic doctrine imposes on him for a strategic response.
Nothing of consequence has happened, says the President of Russia. Amen say Washington and Europe. Therefore, whoever is responsible for the attack knows that the next attack can go further. It too will be unacknowledged as an act of war.
How many times can Putin pretend that attacks on Russia’s sovereignty, which is what attacks on Russia’s nuclear triad are, are mere terrorist events before he discredits himself with the Russian people?
The purpose of the recent revision of Russian strategic doctrine was to discourage or prevent attacks by Western proxies such as Ukraine on Russian strategic forces. It failed because Putin has taught the West not to take him seriously. He is ever ready to turn the other cheek. Now Putin has shown that he will not acknowledge attacks on Russian strategic forces as anything other than a terrorist event, not an act of war. So Putin has negated Russian strategic doctrine. It means nothing. Now that the West knows this, Russia can expect escalating provocations. All of Putin’s good intentions have ended in disaster, and a major war will be the consequence.
It could be that Russia is doomed. Decades of successful Western propaganda have turned most of the Russian professional and intellectual class into Atlanticist Integrationists. They think that Russia belongs as part of the West and are willing to make concessions of sovereignty to be part of the West. Clearly this point of view is strong in the Kremlin and the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The zionist American neoconservatives are very much aware of this Russian weakness, and they are adept at taking advantage of it. They don’t have to do much, because Putin does their work for them.
Putin has declared Ukraine to be conducting terrorism, not war, against Russia. Putin’s declaration also absolves Washington and Europe for any responsibility.
Here are English language Russian headlines of Putin’s hiding from reality that apparently he is unable to face up to. Or perhaps he is not yet ready, being at work constructing a powerful military that US/NATO cannot resist.
“‘Illegitimate Kiev regime’ turning into terrorist organization” – Putin
“The latest terrorist acts carried out by Ukraine in Russia are the outcome of decisions made by the Ukrainian political leadership.” Putin added that “the decisions to carry out such crimes were, of course, made in Ukraine” by the political leadership in Ukraine. In other words, Washington and Europe have no responsibility for the act of war, which is not an act of war, but merely terrorism. https://www.rt.com/russia/618651-kiev-regime-rejecting-peace/
In other words, the Kremlin has said that Washington and Europe have nothing to do with the attack on Russia’s strategic triad, and that Ukraine is merely creating terrorist incidents, not making war against Russia. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/01/31/russia-ukraine-rubio-trump/? utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=wp_opinions
I find it hard to believe that Putin is this stupid. My bet is that he is not yet ready. He keeps the minor Ukraine conflict going while he builds up to remove NATO from Russian borders.
Trump can remove the coming conflict by giving Putin the mutual security agreement Russia has been requesting for years. This would be the costless solution, but Trump is not really in power, and the power and profit of the US military/security complex needs the Russian Enemy.
So, how will a devastating war be avoided? Information such as I have just presented is banned by the official narratives. The American foreign policy community avoids it like the plague.

Many thousands of demonstrators march through Rome to call for end to war the jews on the people of Gaza
Tens of thousands of people have marched through the streets of Rome in protest against the war on the people of Gaza in a demonstration called by Italy’s main opposition parties, who accuse the right-wing government of being too silent.
Protesters held a banner reading “Stop the massacre, stop complicity!” ” no more genocides “at the start of the march, which moved peacefully through the centre of Rome amid a massive display of Palestinian and political party flags.
The protest attracted a diverse crowd from across the country, including many families with children opposed to the genocide.
The pope has been very silent.

“Scott Ritter says the attack on Russia’s strategic bombers was a UK operation that the CIA knew about. According to the White House, Trump was not informed. In other words un-elected and anonymous security mandarins are pushing us toward WWIII and none of them will be held to account when the war really starts in earnest”
Do you see what he did there? Everything before the “in other words” was stated as fact, then everything after was based upon those “facts”. What we need is the ability to see what “ritter” sees and to hear what he hears, as he’s obviously got some sort of listening device in every corner of the “secret” services the world over.
So the intro appears to be under PCRs, but the intro written by Rixon?
Yes, this is what I said the other day, Putin the Weak has downgraded legal red lines into Nazi invertations. Please attack us, because we’re weak.
As another article suggests that Donald Hitler is a paedophile, and the Mossad has video of DH raping little gurls, one must wonder why MI6 didn’t use this in their Russiagate Dossier, given that they didn’t want DH in the White House?
DH doesn’t need to be blackmailed, he’s a willing participant in the genocide, and the Greater Israel project. If Mossad has this info, then so does the CIA and MI6.
Sure, Donald Hitler is very scared right now, and it turns out that Elon Goring is a junkie. The question is, who does Elon Goring work for? My guess is MI6.
When DH entered the White House for his first term, Piers Morgan wanted to be his advisor, and I tweeted: ‘Why would DH want and MI6 muppet in the Oval Office’? Morgan blocked me. Soo funny.
So Morgan was an MI6 media twat, and so is Elon Goring, with his seX machine giving out the oral. What’s the saying, ‘keep your friends close, and keep your enemies even closer’?
Even though Goring is back tracking, the damage is done, and what do the Russia make of this West End tradegy? I mean, would any deal have any real value when DH lies, and flip flops every few seconds. The instability in Nazi Amerika is alarming, given the hollow Iran chats, and the fact DH has given up on a nukraine deal.
We know that DH isn’t in control, and I suspect it’s a similar situation in the Kremlin. I am not says Putin isn’t in control, I’m says he has almost no room to manoeuvre with respect of Russian responses to recent acts of war by Nazis UK, which Russia has now stated on public record.
I think it’s now very hard for Putin to limit revenge to just UKraine, when the US Nazis knew, and that MI6 were behind the rail, Kersh Bridge, and Russias out in the open nuclear bomber fleet, due to START Treaty requirements.
This would have been so much easier if the Russians launched a 6 day shock & awe on UKraine, and on the 7th day, use two tactical nukes on two random Western UKrainian towns/cities, and two more each day there after until complete unconditional surrender. Well over a million lives would have been saved, and this would’ve castrated the Nazis. Instead, Putin the Weak keeps handing the Nazis invertations.
BTW, there’s chat that Xi is under house arrest and is no longer in power. I’m not saying this is true, just that some ear to the ground NaziTubers are saying this, based on Xi’s disapprance from official settings, and his appearances at his home, only, where he’s meeting foreign guests. All quite unusual.
Maybe the ex-Nazi security agents absorbed by the US after WWII didn’t just use their positions to influence US security policies, but then used those positions to infiltrate contacts into and influence the security policies of other western countries, namely the English-speaking countries now called 5 Eyes. The US particularly wanted the intelligence officers who had worked in east Europe, who knew the language and bureaucratic structures on how the laws and police forces worked in those countries, and this may help explain some of the rabid anti-Russian sentiment we see in the west, but particularly in the countries which were instrumental in beating Germany ie Britain, the US and Canada.
If western intelligence networks break away from their governments as they lose power (and legitimacy) and shift towards serving the new systems of power, corporations, we may see a new Inquisition. And as corporations already ignore the laws, with an intelligence structure serving them they will use rendition, black hole sites, torture of many kinds not just pain, secret courts, murder and disappearances.
Their “enemies” will be the new heretics and dissidents: union organisers, eco-warriors, human rights lawyers, protest organisers and people whose land was stolen from beneath them etc. As corporations become more powerful and more ruthless in pursuit of profits, many people just trying to earn a wage or just stay alive by collectivising will be the new enemies. With AI assessing malcontent they’ll end up building more detention centres and prisons. Prisons will provide free labour as will the ‘dole’ for the unemployed. No work, no dole. Some people may find the only jobs they ever had were in the prisons.
“Trump can remove the coming conflict by giving Putin the mutual security agreement Russia has been requesting for years. This would be the costless solution, but Trump is not really in power, and the power and profit of the US military/security complex needs the Russian Enemy.”
This is just more pathetic fat orange bastard apologia from roberts. First, the warmongering madness of the fat orange bastard and its handlers has nothing to do with the so-called “US military/security complex” (which is just a conveniently ambiguous abstraction roberts likes to hide behind). Second, the fat orange bastard is in fact “in power.” This unfortunate fact is demonstrated on an almost daily basis as the fat orange bastard single-handedly does things like assert illegitimate power that’s destroying the dollar and the U.S. economy. It takes some serious unaccountable, arbitrary power to destroy the U.S. economy right in front of our eyes, doesn’t it?
The fat orange bastard promised – literally dozens of times – to end the proxy war against Russia in ukraine in 24 hours. Now the fat orange bastard needs to follow through. All the fat orange bastard needs to do is to stop the flow of weapons, money and satellite data. If the fat orange bastard was not a liar, murderer and thief it would’ve done this already and the attacks inside Russia (which threaten every living thing on earth) would stop. But the evil creature won’t.
“Time for Russia to strike The Head Of The Beast… and “take-out” Bwitain???”
Discuss.
Too bad the ‘attack’ was simply an A.I. fabricated video hoax. What these alt news cia-kgb assrags like ritter and roberts don’t tell you is that both NATOUkraine & Russia are governed by the same transnational syndicate of Jewish bankers/oligarchs/rabbis–as they maneuver the white race into Waste Whitey III–because their religious scriptures (Talmud/Zohar) instructs them that mongrel moshiach won’t appear until Amalek (whites) is gone. now you know
Morons still can’t figure out Putin is in on it with NATO (imagining he’s a ‘good guy’ lol)–to drag out this war liquidating more whites and gradually transition it into Waste Whitey III.
Harry Marsh–Jews always support Islam, and Israel is very good for the Moslems: losing 40,000 is negligible in the big picture. They put millions into all the big European countries, and they are already in governments here
“Scott Ritter says the attack on Russia’s strategic bombers was a UK operation….”
So… Yes! ….. perhaps it’s best for Russia to do The World a favour by putting Zoguk “out of its misery”…
BEFORE it has the chance to kick-start the THIRD of its World Wars… and blows everthing & everyone to Kingdom Come…
wouldn’t you say… 🤔
drop the socialist flag carl jones and just grow up
Russians are great fighters, but they have a huge problem when it comes to WINNING. They should just go all out and decimate the piss out of Ukraine and cripple it completely, bring it to its knees FAST, otherwise more shit is just gonna head Russia’s way. No nukes needed, just missile the hell out of them until they surrender.
