The CIA & @JoeBiden believed #Russia is "too weak to respond". Over 20 Ukrainian cities were targeted in the largest missile strike day since the beginning of the war which created blackout in several cities. #Moscow showed its readiness to be harsher when the decision is taken.
However, these are tactical attacks and change very little in the course of the ongoing battle. The game changer is the position of #Belarusia and the seize of its involvement in the battle.
Also, it is important to take into consideration the coming winter and the next winter. For how long #Europe can hold on? We know that #Ukraine leaders are ok with the total destruction of their country's infrastructure and economy. Will Europe agree to follow suit?
#Ukraine citizens need to wake up and stop allowing their country to be only a #US - #Russia battlefield. The price to reconstruct the country will not be available because the west can only pay to destroy and send weapons. Look how it is behaving with the rest of the world.
Two main #US newspapers accused #Ukraine of being responsible for assassinating #daryadugina and the blowing up of #Crimea bridge. The Ukrainians don't understand that the CIA, the real planner, is asking #Russia to bomb the hell out of #Ukraine to make sure the war lasts long.
#Ukraine shld officially deny any involvement in any terrorist attack & condemn the "US Intel sources". The consequences of acknowledging the responsibility of a car bomb assassination and sending a driver with explosives on the truck w/o his knowledge are acts of terrorism.
The war is not ending any soon. The west is preparing to send more weapons and the #US wants this war to continue. A four-star general Jack Keane said that “the US invested $66 bn in the Kyiv, a small sum and It is quite well worth it. We r not doing the fighting but Ukraine is.”

The #US is desperately provoking #Russia to use tactical nuclear weapons. I don't think this will happen in the way America, or even #Kyiv, expects. However, the US administration is forcing President Putin to react more harsher than ever. That objective will be met, I reckon.
Pushing President Vladimir Putin into a corner is a bad military and political tactic.
Provoking a powerful country to retaliate is stupid. Showing that #Russia is "too weak" is amateurish thinking.
No analyst dares to predict what is going to happen next and if #Russia will respond to the hit received today and what is the level of response. Russia’s deterrence is at stake.
Prsdt Putin’s seize & shape of response will determine the destiny of this war & the World’s balance.
#Israel's Defence Minister is asking the army to be ready for a potential war: rubbish. 1. Israel has mobilised the forces for a month now 2. No official answers have been delivered to the Lebanese government 3. #Lebanon didn't respond to the Israeli not-yet-delivered reply.
4. #Israel's current government has decided from day one to postpone the negotiation and throw it in the arms of the forthcoming government, after the Knesset elections. 5. @yairlapid shall not agree on maritime demarcation in the last 20 days of his ruling
6. It will be up to the gov of #Lebanon or the President to announce the death of the indirect negotiation with #Israel. If that takes place, the #US & Israel will uphold the responsibility of war to the Lebanese government that insinuated to #Hezbollah to bomb the gas platforms.
What the #US has offered to #Ukraine? Money and weapons so the Ukrainians can kill themselves and lose 15-20% of their territories.
Oh! And of course, sanctions... Important not to forget the sanctions.
Very slim outcome indeed.
What was the gain of #Europe to hide under the #US skirt?
Impoverishment, inflation, refugees, lack of energy and de-industrialisation.
Oh! And of course, sanctions.... We have imposed many sanctions on #Russia to flex our muscles and shoot ourselves in the head.
I wish, one day, #Europe can learn from #India, a #US ally but not enslaved, about sovereignty, and mainly from @DrSJaishankar. India is braver than most #EU nations.
#Europe is paying the price of decades of colonisation and of being colonised by the #US.
Do we think we are tough enough and allow ourselves to impose whatever sanctions on #Russia? We have a blow in our face and no Russian gas ahead of us.
#US government, wishing to change the regime, asked and obtained from @elonmusk to activate Starlink internet in #Iran. #Washington will never give up on its old-usual practice to promote riots under the pretext of supporting "human rights" against those who reject its hegemony.
"In response to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's tweet" that the United States took action "to advance internet freedom and the free flow of information" to Iranians.
