Russia responds to western trash talkers.

 SIGNALS PIVOTAL DECISIONS BEING MADE

 EUROPEAN WAR OR NEGOTIATION

This week we witnessed Russia beginning drills of its tactical weapons teams. This was accompanied with an explanation that it was in response to western talk of escalation in Ukraine. Then the ambassadors of France, UK and the United States were called in for a meeting. It has been revealed that following remarks by Macron of France that they were sending troops to Ukraine, David Cameron remarked that UK long range missiles used in Ukraine had no restrictions on being used deep into Russia, the continual talk of F-16s by the U.S. and the Democrat leader talking of U.S. troops to Ukraine, Russia felt it was time to make its position clear.

France was told that any French troops in Ukraine will immediately be targeted by Russia. U.K. was informed that any UK missiles used against Russian homeland will be considered an act of aggression by Britain and will require a response on British bases. The United States was informed that if any F-16's fly out of NATO countries against Russia, those bases will be targeted. It seems it was conveyed officially as the Russian position and not just a threat. 

France responded by saying that France was not at war with Russia, and that they are not sending troops to Ukraine. The Uk made no response, but Italy and Poland made it clear that they were not sending troops to Ukraine.

The reality is that there are U.S. French, British and Polish troops in Ukraine. while they may be classified as private contractors, they are providing technical,  surveillance, targeting and other services to Ukraine. These troops are often quartered in hotels and are already a target of Russian missiles.

We will see if this will lead to restraint by western politicians who just love the media attention of making threats against Russia. It does nothing other than just increase the hostility and may eventually end in dire consequences for everyone.
