Any of these three new developments has the potential to lead to unpredictable events which spiral out of control into a nuclear war between NATO and the Russian Federation, which would be the single worst thing that could possibly happen on planet Earth. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

31 May 2024 –<\/em> Well, it finally happened: Biden is now letting Ukraine strike Russian territory with US-supplied weapons. Escalations in nuclear brinkmanship which would have been unthinkable a few short years ago are becoming increasingly common<\/a> as Ukraine loses more and more territory and runs out of soldiers to fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a new report from Politico titled \u201cBiden secretly gave Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia with US weapons<\/a>\u201d which cites multiple anonymous US officials, the article\u2019s authors correctly describe the new White House authorization as a \u201cstunning shift the administration initially said would escalate the war by more directly involving the U.S. in the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

This report comes shortly after an article by The New York Times titled \u201cFrom Allies and Advisers, Pressure Grows on Biden to Allow Attacks on Russian Territory<\/a>,\u201d in which David E Sanger accurately forecast that \u201cBiden is edging toward what may prove to be one of his most consequential decisions in the war for Ukraine: whether to reverse his ban on shooting American weapons into Russian territory.\u201d<\/p>\n
