With Reckless Attack, Ukrainians Hope to Drag USA into WWIII

[Capitalist Notes] Ukraine's assault on Russia's nuclear triad and the inevitable backlash are designed to force Trump's hand and drag America into war. U.S. should declare neutrality.

The New York Post boasted in a headline on Sunday that, "Ukraine’s surprise strike deep in Russia — an excellent way to push Putin to talk peace." The headline might be the dumbest in the tabloid’s 124 year history.

The Post and other parts of the uniparty’s pro-war bandwagon have long sought a bigger war and ever-greater U.S. involvement in order to stick it to Russia. On Sunday, they got their wish, with Ukraine executing a long-planned operation that reportedly disabled dozens of nuclear bombers deep inside Russia that comprise a crucial part of Moscow’s nuclear triad—the same combination of submarines, missiles, and bombers that the United States uses to deter nuclear war.

It would be as if a foreign power armed with Russian materiel and intelligence destroyed a significant portion of America’s nuclear-capable B-2 and B-52 bombers. How would we react? Would we reach for the peace pipe or respond with fury?

Upsetting this balance of deterrence is extremely reckless and harmful to the interests of the United States. Russian military doctrine provides for the preemptive use of nuclear weapons if an adversary appears to be using conventional means to undermine its first and second-strike nuclear capabilities.

Russia will react aggressively—perhaps with greater ferocity than it has employed since World War II. Contrary to the New York Post’s make-believe about what Russia does when it is attacked, the decision by Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to authorize this assault has made a peace deal more difficult to reach than ever—which was probably his motive in the first place.

#6  No doubt, just like the Houthi Hypersonic Missiles, they are domestically produced

I only hope these drones were not US made or purchased.

I have already guessed that the Deep State was involved in the targeting of Russia's nuclear triad. I'd be glad to be proven wrong.

#4  Canada’s current rulers are likely to welcome them with open arms, though, while preening themselves on their moral superiority to those horrid Americans.

#3  Sudan, yes. Egypt absolutely does not want them — they want a captive population well-brainwashed to keep attacking the Jewish entity until it disappears. And America will also absolutely not accept them.

#2  Just like in Gaza, the war will end when Russia surrenders and withdraws.
When Hamas surrenders and the population of Gaza is relocated, probably to Egypt, Malaysia or plenty of room in the USA, that nation of immigrants.

#1  Putin is certainly thinking if the drones can take out a third of their bombers, which really had no play in the Ukraine war, They can decimate the Kremlin and his homes. Retaliation will be thought out buy Putin, and it will be costly. I only hope these drones were not US made or purchased.
