Thread: 🧵👇

🇮🇳 Air Marshal (retd) M Matheswaran to Sputnik India:

🇺🇸 Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine the use of ATACMs to strike 🇷🇺 Russia sends a message that NATO is “entering the war” in a subtle manner.

🚀 These strikes won't be possible without satellite data and technical expertise from Western countries. It is a huge escalatory step which dims the prospects of peace.

3/9

If the threat of use of long-range missiles is actually carried out, then 🇷🇺 Russia will have the right to respond appropriately.

"Consequences could be disastrous for the entire world, if 🇷🇺 Russia chooses to deploy nuclear weapons [in response]:” Matheswaran.

🇮🇳 Maj Gen (Retd) Shashi Bhushan Asthana to Sputnik India:

🇺🇸 Biden, having lost the election, has little to lose, pushing the fight against 🇷🇺 Russia till the last Ukrainian. This risks sabotaging any peace efforts by the incoming Trump administration.

6/9

“If things escalate, Biden's decision could entangle 🇺🇸 the US in direct hostilities with 🇷🇺 Russia:” Asthana

7/9

🇺🇸 Biden's two key miscalculations

▪️Ignoring 🇷🇺 Putin's warnings on NATO-guided long-range weapons use in the Ukraine conflict

▪️Overestimating the battlefield advantage long-range missiles would give Ukraine.
