We knew this was coming, and the fact that the regime waited until right before Biden leaves office to give the go-ahead, speaks volumes on where they’re hoping to take this war
Several mainstream news outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post and Reuters, reported Sunday that Joe Biden’s administration has lifted restrictions that had blocked Ukraine from using U.S.-provided long-range missiles to strike deep into Russian territory.
The report originated in typical fashion, leaked to the New York Times by three unnamed deep-state sources.
This development marks “a significant change to U.S. policy in the Ukraine-Russia conflict,” Reuters reports, when in fact the U.S. policy was always to escalate the war, with this latest move no doubt planned months ago to be lowered like a hammer on Russia right before Trump takes office.
It’s no surprise. We knew it was coming. We predicted many times that the U.S. government would give the greenlight to such attacks, because we know that the U.S. deep state wants the war to escalate further before Donald Trump takes over the White House. Their hope is that the stampede toward World War III will become so intense by January 20th that Trump will be unable to stop it.
Ukraine plans to conduct its first long-range attacks in the coming days, the sources said, without revealing details due to operational security concerns.
The move by the United States, which comes just over two months before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20, comes after months of requests by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to allow Ukraine’s military to use U.S. weapons to hit Russian military targets far from its border.
The change follows Russia’s deployment of North Korean ground troops to supplement its own forces, a development that has caused alarm in Washington and Kiev, even though the North Koreans are not fighting in Ukraine, only in Russia proper where they are working to repel a Ukrainian invasion into Russia’s Kursk region.
Ukraine’s first deep strikes are likely to be carried out using ATACMS rockets, which have a range of up to 190 miles, the unnamed deep-state sources told the New York Times.
I’ve been predicting that World War III will break out most boldly in Eastern Europe and that the end-game is to get NATO troops fighting Russia in an attempt to depose Putin and install a Western puppet regime. The bottom line is that the West wants/needs to lock up control over Russia’s vast natural resources if it is going to fully implement its green agenda.
As you can see from the chart below, Russia is home to more critical natural resources than any other country in the world. All wars are fought over resources.
Donald Trump has been against this agenda and that’s why the globalists like to call him a Rusian asset, but will Trump be able to end the war in Ukraine? That remains to be seen.
But we now have Ukraine using U.S.-supplied long-range ATACMS missiles against Russia, using GPS coordinates for targeting data supplied by U.S. intelligence. Does anyone in America still believe we are NOT at war with Russia?
Here is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explaining how the military-industrial complex profits on both ends of the Ukraine proxy war against Russia.

Update to this story from MSN:
“Western allies including Britain, France and the US, have taken a “big jump” towards a nuclear conflict by giving Ukraine permission to fire Western long-range missiles into Kremlin territory, a pro-Putin spokesperson, Sergey Markov, has said.
A regular Putin “mouthpiece”, Markov warned that the shock move by US President Joe Biden could mean that Britons could be facing a Christmas in shelters.”
Back in September, Russian television released a video animation of a nuclear strike on central London. According to one story on Metro:
“The startling four-minute video was aired in an apparent effort to prevent Britain from giving permission to Ukraine to allow Storm Shadow missiles to hit targets inside Russia.
The simulation shows what would happen if a warhead with 750 kilotons detonated, expanding a fireball as hot as the sun with a radius of 950 metres.
The video estimated the initial death toll could exceed 250,000 people, with 600,000 injured within a radius of six miles.
The video claims that ‘according to various estimates, a further 450,000 people will die from burns, debris, injuries or radiation sickness, and over a million will be traumatised.’
Bringing back memories of The Day After movie in 1983.

i still simply do not believe Putin will go there. he is significantly more stable and measured than the abject idiots running the west.
horizontal and asymmetric escalation are very easy and several options are probably already prepped (Houthi’s sink a large naval vessel? level Kiev and Lviv? broadly target every non-uke inside of ukraine? mass coordinated sabotage of weapons plants? give the iranians a couple dozen Oreshniks? mass sabotage of undersea fiber optic cables? sudden rash of “accidents” on ISR satellites?) the list is endless.

I sincerely hope you’re right and that Putin is just bluffing. Did he say he’d attack Ukraine and then not do it? Or maybe he attacked Ukraine without any warning?

Buratta – he [Putin] is significantly more stable and measured than the abject idiots running the west.
It’s interesting that in the same sentence, you acknowledge and yet seem to forget that there are two sides involved – not just the “stable” Putin.
Granted that he may be exercising restraint as things stand now, but do you have faith that Obama/Biden and NATO won’t do something even more idiotic (or deliberate)? Biden just authorized land mines banned by 160 countries.
It should be obvious to everyone, Putin included, that the West has no intention of ending this war until they achieve their objectives. They sent Boris Johnson to scuttle peace talks two months after it started.
If Zelensky, the U.S., and NATO are just fine with the deaths of Ukraine’s 35,160 civilians and 31,000 troops, do you think they’ll take precautions to ensure that any further escalations will not endanger Russian populations? Do you think Putin will have a “wait and see” attitude about that?

Your numbers for Ukrainian casualties are off by a factor of 10-plus. I’m hearing it’s more like 600,000 Ukrainians dead and wounded and about 200,000 to 300,000 dead Russians, although many are mercenaries and not actually Russian.

I’m praying that the West won’t escalate beyond the point of no return, that Trump will be safely installed, negotiate an end to this war, and we’ll avoid the bullet in the chamber.
But there is something striking about the Deagel Forecast concerning population reduction in 2025. If I remember it correctly, many if not most of the countries involved are in the NATO complex and include non-NATO allies. I’m not saying that the Deagel corporation had modern day prophets but I’m wondering what the basis of their speculation was. Were they observing the slow creep of NATO and Russia’s response?
Maybe that Deagel Forecast will finally be tossed into the dustbin of historical quack conspiracy theories. And maybe it won’t.
At this point, the only one who does know for sure is God. Those of us who have faith in Him and know a little of Bible prophecy should be able to discern that we are experiencing the birth pains of the season Jesus spoke about in the Olivet Discourse.
There is no mention of the United States, WWI, WWII or dropping the atom bomb on Hiroshima in the scriptures, other than a general reference to “wars, and rumors of wars.”
The most important thing is to make sure you’re ready to meet the Lord, however and whenever that takes place.

Kennedy is correct about the austerity.
When the banks collapsed in Ireland it was the public who had to bale them out. It was the Rothchild’s who were brought in to advise on what to do.
The deal was that Ireland would have to borrow from the European international banks and would have to pay interest on the loan.
In order to receive the loan, Ireland was forced to agree to austerity measures created by the European banks which resulted in ‘cut backs’ on government services etc., which, in turn, resulted in unemployment and hardship and the raising of the pension age.
So, the the European banks were rewarded for their reckless losses at the expense of the Irish public. The very banks who lost their money in the Irish market, were lending money to Ireland with interest so that the Irish could compensate them for their losses. So, it was a win win for the European banks.
The same thing happened in Greece where one of the austerity measures was to raise women’s pension age from the age of fifty five to sixty two.
Austerity measures cause great compromise on the countries where such measures are imposed and bring great profit to those who impose the austerity measures.

On second thought, this is in reality Obama’s third term (Biden is mentally incapacitated) so I’m going to put Sunday’s news in its proper perspective. It’s not surprising, therefore, that Barack Hussein is sticking it to Trump and America by giving Zelensky the green light to escalate. After all, we didn’t vote for another of his puppets so he must have been steaming about it ever since. After the crushing disappointment of the deplorables’ leader surviving illegal lawfare and two assassination attempts, at least he can get some sweet revenge by either blowing us all to bits or at the very least sabotaging Trump’s efforts to make peace.
Because the Biden-Harris regime is staffed by not only many Obama alumni but radical Islamists, this has been the most anti-Israel White House ever. Even though he was forced to sign off on military aid because the majority of Congress was pushing it, he still managed to stab Israel in the back now and then to his satisfaction by:
No doubt he was happy too that his presidential candidate Harris surrounded herself with Muslim staff (over 100) who had no love for Israel but plenty of ties to CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood, and radical Islamic groups.
When antisemitic incidents in America skyrocketed after the Oct. 7th massacres and pro-Hamas thugs rioted on campuses, attacked Jewish Americans, and screamed “death to Israel,” he ensured that he took action against Islamophobia.
So I guess he gets the last laugh by delivering a gut punch to the very people he despises: us. It’s his way of taking out the “trash” that Biden spoke about.

Putin is a master politician. I reckon that he will hold out until Trump comes into office.
I believe there will be a peace deal and that Putin will stop supporting Iran and Syria in return for peace on his own border. This will leave Trump free to pour all his resources into Israel’s military conquests in the Middle East. It will also endear Mr Trump to his supporters , of whom many are pro Putin and pro Zionist.
Biden’s move could be just sour grapes but I’m inclined to think that he’s been instructed by the ‘globalists’ to worsen the situation in Russian / Ukraine war in order to prompt the need for a speedy peace arrangement.

Hello Leo , the one ‘constant’ between Biden and Trump is their unconditional support for Israel. So, I think the powers behind the scenes are more focussed on Trump’s success in his support for Israel.
America have been doing what they always do , which is to vilify a regime which they intend to bring down. So, the hype about Iran being behind attempts on Trumps life etc., is a way of turning the American public against Iran and to build a consensus for a war against Iran.
However , there may be a false flag terrorist attack just Sept 11, if so it will only serve to focus America’s military , to start a war against Iran.
Trump’s success in the elections was strongly backed by the Zionists for a purpose and that is to further their campaign in the Middle East.
As I’ve said before, Israel will host the man of sin and I think it will happen during this generation. If so then you can expect the destruction of any possible Islamic resistance to the complete takeover of Israel/Palestine by the Zionists, and the building of a third temple for the ‘man of sin’ to occupy.
just my opinions, of course, we will have to wait and see.

Daniel’s seventieth week occurred at the time of Christ’s earthly ministry .It was Christ who confirmed the covenant with many when he established the new covenant with those who believe in Him. It was Christ who caused the sacrifices to cease when he replaced the old testament sacrifices with his own perfect sacrifice on the cross. The curtain was torn in two because God had left the building for good , i.e., it was left desolate because of Israel’s rejection of Christ. The desolation will reach it’s consummation when the abomination of desolation stands in the holy place and when the man of sin sits in the new temple posing as God.
But the man of sin and his followers will be destroyed when Christ’s comes to rapture his church and to deal out retribution on the man of sin and his followers.

Hello Leo , it looks like my prediction about a war against Iran is about to come true.
Netanyahu has agreed to a ceasefire with Lebanon’s Hezbollah for “three main reasons”. The first reason he gave was, “focussing on the Iranian threat”
Trump hates Iran and has already begun the narrative of vilifying Iran. Trump’s alliance with Netanyahu will empower Netanyahu to be even more brutal in his endeavour to bring about his ‘final solution’ to the ‘Moslem problem’.
I believe that this will involve American troops being sent to Israel’s aid with the inevitable loss of young American lives.

Of course…and what do you want to bet that while Russia is distracted with defending itself from Ukrainian missiles, sanctioned and supplied by us, Israel/US will attack Iran, Russia’s ally. Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. The Ukraine project and the stuff going on the Middle East are interconnected. Just look at the people involved who planned all this for the last decade. So maybe the US will have to deal with not just a regional war in the Middle East, but WWIII to boot. Exciting! We Christians have been dispensationally primed for this nihilistic apocalypse for decades, so none of us should mind much. Because “faith” has somehow come to mean we’ll just boogie outta here—so no consequences for us! Yay!
That’s the foreign policy we get when half of the Biden administration is staffed by nihilistic Zionists, some holding dual citizenship with that other country that’s been stoking global fires. The other half by Nazi-type globalists who have their own rapacious agendas. Only the coming Trump administration staff will exceed that pernicious ideological composition, so odds are we may be entering yet another era of war. But hey! That might generate our economy—just like the last world war. Again, Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
So when you hear our future Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth speak with his 14 year old mentality of his being “ok” with nuclear war, (curiously thinking it overrated) and especially slavering to go to war with Iran and China, that’s a picture of our future direction. I just hope Trump somehow heads this obvious nihilist sabotage by Biden of Trump’s administration before it even starts, but I’m not holding my breath as almost no one on his cabinet talks peace. So maybe Trump is onboard with this. We’ll see. But I doubt there will be that beautiful JFK moment back in June 1963 when he held out the prospect of the end of the Cold War, reminding everyone that “we all breathe the same air.”
The prime indication that Judgment is coming on us is that we have and are getting the evil leaders we deserve. Is anybody repenting yet (2 Chronicles 7:14)??
