Ukraine is losing 500 to 800 men every day and showing signs of cracking.<\/p>\n<p>But Western globalists are talking tougher than ever and threatening Russia with new forms of direct military warfare from the West. Don\u2019t believe for a second that our Western puppet leaders will let go of their anti-Russia, anti-Putin crusade \u2014 they\u2019re too far in, have too much invested, and there\u2019s simply too much money to be made by their financial benefactors.<\/p>\n<p>Government officials in the US, UK and France continue to ratchet up the war rhetoric against Russia by threatening the country with Western troops and the possibility of using UK-supplied long-range missiles to strike deep into the heart of Russia.<\/p>\n<p>If Russia succeeds in its war with Ukraine, and it\u2019s not a matter of if but when, U.S. Democratic House leader\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.nv.ua\/nation\/lives-of-american-soldiers-will-be-at-stake-if-russia-allowed-to-occupy-ukraine-50401047.html\">Hakeem Jeffries<\/a> announced on CBS News Sunday that the U.S. will intervene directly with troops. Think about what this means.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot allow Ukraine to fall, because if it does, there is a significant possibility that America will have to intervene in the conflict \u2014 not just with our money, but with our troops,\u201d he told\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/democrat-leader-jeffries-pro-putin-faction-in-gop-delayed-ukraine-aid-60-minutes\/\">CBS News<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then, like a cynical puppet of the blood-drenched military-industrial complex, Jeffries mouthed the favorite talking points of the neocon war hawks, showing he answers to the same faction of billionaire greed-mongers as the GOP leadership in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to \u201crestore the Soviet Union\u201d to \u201cthreaten NATO countries,\u201d he said. This is the same baseless messaging that has been repeated over and over the last two and a half years by the likes of Mike Pence, Mitch McConnel, Nikki Haley, Senator Lindsey Graham and all of the other war hawks on the other side of the aisle. When it comes to foreign policy and being salesmen for perpetual war, there is not a dime\u2019s worth of difference between the two parties. They are the Uniparty.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian government wasted no time responding to what it perceives as a growing threat from the US and NATO to send troops into Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian news outlet RT.com is reporting Monday a strong message from Moscow warning of dire consequences if any NATO country sends troops into Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron has been the most outspoken about the possibility of sending troops to fight Russians in Ukraine, but now Congressman Jeffries has taken it to a new level with his comments to a major establishment news outlet over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>British Foreign Secretary David Cameron was also quoted by Reuters last week that Ukraine has the right to use long-range missiles sent by the UK to strike deep inside Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The Russians tailored their response to the British and didn\u2019t mince words.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow said it will retaliate against British targets in Ukraine or elsewhere if Kiev uses UK-provided missiles to strike Russian territory, the Russian Foreign Ministry told London\u2019s ambassador on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>RT.com reports that Ambassador Nigel Casey was summoned to the ministry following\u00a0the remarks by Cameron to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dCasey was warned that the response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons on Russian territory could be any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond,\u201d the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement following the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>As noted by RT, the US and its allies had previously qualified their deliveries of long-range weapons to Kiev by saying they could only be used on territories that Ukraine claims as its own \u2013 Crimea, the Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, and Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, Cameron\u2019s statements to the contrary\u00a0\u201cde facto recognized his country as a party to the conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russia sees Cameron\u2019s comments as\u00a0\u201cevidence of a serious escalation and confirmation of London\u2019s increasing involvement in military operations on the side of Kiev,\u201d\u00a0the ministry added.<\/p>\n<p>Casey was urged to\u00a0\u201cthink about the inevitable catastrophic consequences of such hostile steps from London and to immediately refute in the most decisive and unequivocal manner the bellicose provocative statements of the head of the Foreign Office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry announced an exercise to test the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. President Vladimir Putin ordered the drills after\u00a0\u201cprovocative statements and threats\u201d\u00a0by Western officials, the military said.<\/p>\n<p>Putin said that if troops get sent in from any Western country, that country will be essentially vaporized within seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Here is Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Earl Rasmussen warning that Putin should not be seen as bluffing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2018They\u2019re not bluffing\u2019: Russian tactical nuke drills are loud warning to NATO to stay out of Ukraine<br \/>\u201cThis is a signal to the Western leaders that they are serious.
