Russia lowers nuclear response threshold against Ukraine as Biden approves US missiles

As the conflict in Ukraine marks a somber 1,000 days since Russia’s invasion began in February 2022, the situation is taking a perilous turn. Recent developments indicate that Russia is significantly lowering its threshold for using nuclear weapons, a move that raises alarms among global leaders and citizens alike.

In the Kherson region, the stark reality of war is exemplified in makeshift medical facilities where the birth of new life contrasts sharply with the ongoing strife. Rosa Antonova, holding her newborn daughter Amelia in a hospital basement, expresses a sentiment that many in Ukraine share. She remarked, “All the plans we had before the war, we decided that there is probably no time to postpone anything for later, we have to live for now.” This highlights the resilience and courage of those trying to maintain a semblance of normal life amidst chaos.

Across the country, the human cost of the conflict continues to grow. Reports indicate that military casualties and civilian suffering have reached staggering levels, with countless individuals displaced and cities left in ruins. An emotional memorial in Kyiv serves as a tribute to fallen soldiers, adorned with Ukrainian flags. Svitlana Kirichenko, who recently placed a flag to honor her deceased son, expressed her sorrow, stating, “I put the flag so that someone would pass by and see that this person lived once, gave his life for all of us.”

In response to Ukraine’s ongoing need for support, the Biden administration has recently shifted its stance, allowing American-supplied long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems to be used against targets significantly deeper inside Russian territory. Dr. Patrick Bury from the University of Bath emphasized the gravity of the decision, explaining, “This would be the first time they’ve been used to target inside Russia, significantly inside Russia.”

Despite this, experts warn that the deployment may not drastically alter the current battlefield dynamics. Mick Mulroy, a defense analyst, noted that while this represents an important step, constraints around missile availability and specific regions limit its immediate impact.

In a recent update, President Putin articulated that the use of nuclear weapons could become an option if Russia is threatened with conventional missile attacks from nations backed by nuclear allies. This escalation in rhetoric only adds to the anxiety felt globally as fears of an expanded conflict loom.

With winter approaching and tensions escalating, the situation in Ukraine remains dire, affecting millions while foreign leaders watch closely…

    At One: This war is NOT 1,000 days old but 3,920 days, namely near 11 years since Maidan in 2014!
    It was NOT started by Putin or Russia but by Barack Obama and Victoria Nuland as its planners.
    Add to that the Sniper Specialist of the 101 Airborne Division who trained the Maidan Murderers.
    THE DECISIVE ELEMENT WAS THE DECLARING ALL PEOPLE THERE TO BE ONE PEOPLE – WITH ONLY ONE LANGUAGE – but there are also Russians, Hungarians, Slovaks, Romanians Greeks, Roma
    – UKRAINE IS AN ARTIFICIAL STATE WITH SEVERAL NATIONS WHO ALL MUST HAVE RIGHTS!

    THAT IS THE POINT: BUT OBAMA WANTED WAR AGAINST RUSSIA AND REVIVED BANDERISM!
    Stepan BANDERA was the Ukrainian Chief-Collaborator of Hitler and became an SS-GENERAL .
    Right after the Maidan Massacre, nearly all towns in West and Central Ukraine were filled with
    HUGE PICTURES OF BANDERA – NAZI SYMBOLS – AND TORCHLIT PARADES – like 1936 Berlin.

    Now, these things have been put away – but only for hiding them: It doesn’t look good, does it?
    BUT THE MAIN POINT IS STILL THERE: THE MANY OTHER NATIONS IN UKRAINE!
    And there is a danger: BEFORE DONBASS AND CRIMEA SECEDED, MANY HAD BEEN KILLED!
    That had also happened in the “West of Ukraine” WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY POLISH! but no more!
    AND VOLHYNIA WAS THE BIGGEST JEWISH REGION – Don’t ask for meeting any survivors!

    NOW, DOES NATO REALLY WANT THE SAME TO HAPPEN IN DONBASS AND CRIMEA?
    SO FAR, IT LOOKS LIKE IT – BUT ….???
