This war has just been conformed as a proxy US/Russia
war by the USA permitting Ukraine to strike inside Russia
with US supplied weapons:
This is a serious escalation in this war because it now confirms that
Russia is being officially attacked by NATO led by the USA and
it confirms the average Russian's suspicions that NATO eastward
creep was, in the first instance, a threat to Russian National Security.
IMO this is a silly move for 2 reasons:
(a) it will likely have limited impact on the war.
(b) if it has a serious impact on the war, Russia will likely
use HD ballistic missiles and perhaps tactical Nukes
. to defend "The Motherland" as Putin has already foreshadowed.
No wonder the Doomsday Clock is the closest to midnight.....ever!
This is why its so stupid of some posters advocating an escalation
of this war when a ceasefire/peace negations would avert a worse case scenario
and benefit Aus by reducing the cause of our inflation, namely the price of oil & gas.
