Notre Dame Joe Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 According to the Russian-language Novye Izvestia media outlet, Ukrainian forces this week fired mortars at the villages of Nekhoteyevka, Zhuravlyovka and Golovchino in the Belgorod region and fired at a checkpoint in the Bryansk region. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russian-territory-under-attack-as-ukraine-shells-border-checkpoint-official/ar-AAWJv6I?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=e41fb877c1624c15bd4d9cfceceae1dc In before Putin complains about escalation through intrusions upon territorial sovereignty.

NATO/US jets and the Soviets would push it to the brink of engagement. It’s just constant testing and a game. The last thing Putin should be hoping for is our military to get involved. He talks big and threatens but I don’t think he’s that stupid…..unless he’s certifiable and actually wants an excuse to end the planet. Link to comment

Cold war tactics. Russia evaluating response time to scramble aircraft and their capabilities. 1 Link to comment

Scarlet Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Apparently any hope of rational heads prevailing within the inner circle of Russia's regime was wishful thinking as the military there wants an escalation of force up to and including nuking targets inside Ukraine. They seem to be on a global murder/suicide mission. https://cepa.org/vicious-blame-game-erupts-among-putins-security-forces/?fbclid=IwAR1QzmLXG4xaS6gAz25t4XhjLnEYsHzzVcboZZ7lGYYtjWQLWwkUknCDJdI Quote The telegram channel “FighterBomber” associated with the Russian air force, posted on April 12 a comment about NATO’s weapon supplies to Ukraine: “Naturally, we’ll further increase air defense units on the border with Ukraine in order to cover our territory from ballistic missile strikes, but it is also clear that NATO countries have far more weapons than Russia.” The author expressed optimism that the Russian air force will be able to staunch the flow of Western supplies, but warned that further Ukrainian victories “will almost certainly prompt the use of nuclear weapons” against targets in Ukraine. Quote Privately, the army, and even the secret services, have been heard to blame not only the Fifth Service of the FSB for misinforming the president, but also the president himself for making a bad call on changing the military strategy.
