When the first long-range North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) missile strikes a target deep inside nuclear-armed Russia (formerly the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic), its explosion would set off a chain reaction in which Russian missiles would simultaneously strike 1) the launch point of the attacking NATO missile inside Ukraine, 2) the NATO satellite that provided targeting information, and 3) the NATO soldiers in a command and control center (CCC) outside Ukraine who coordinated the strike deep inside Russia, as suggested in an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sept. 12.

Russia has made clear that it would strike those three sites in response to such an attack deep inside Russia, whether it hits Rostov-on-Don, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, or Moscow.

The nervous NATO leadership hopes Russia only strikes back at the launch point in Ukraine. What will they do if Russia takes out the satellite? What will they do if it takes out the CCC in Germany? Perhaps NATO is arrogant after Russia failed to respond to the NATO attack on its early warning radars in May, but then Putin was not shouting warnings of nuclear retaliation.

NATO’s real fear is that Ukraine will collapse, and Russia will become a world power yet again and use that might to free Palestine. Meanwhile, NATO leaders like fascist Justin Trudeau are threatening nuclear Russia with missile strikes.

In the interview, Putin refuted the NATO propaganda that it is only discussing “removing restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Western weapons.” No, the Ukrainian army is incapable of operating high-precision Western weapons at long ranges, such as Storm Shadows and ATACMS (U.S. Army Tactical Missile System), emphasized Putin. Operation of such equipment at long ranges requires the use of satellites, which Ukraine does not have, and operation by NATO personnel, as Ukrainian servicemen do not know and cannot be told the firing sequences required.

“We are not talking about allowing or prohibiting the Kiev regime from striking Russian territory,” Putin said on Thursday. “It is doing so already, with unmanned aerial vehicles and other means. But when we are talking about the use of precision weapons, long-range Western-made weapons, it is a completely different story…the Ukrainian army is incapable of striking with modern long-range precision Western systems. It can only do that by using intelligence from satellites, which Ukraine does not have. They get the data only from NATO satellites. That’s the first thing. The second, very important and key issue is that the flight missions for these systems can only be input by NATO military personnel. Ukrainian servicemen cannot do this."

"So," the Russian president continued, "it’s not a question of allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not. It is a question of deciding whether a NATO country is directly involved in the military conflict. If this decision is made, it will mean nothing less than the direct participation of NATO countries, the US and European countries, in the war in Ukraine. Their direct participation, of course, significantly changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict. If this decision is made, it will mean nothing less than the direct participation of NATO countries, the US and European countries, in the conflict in Ukraine.”

“It will mean that NATO countries are directly at war with Russia. And if that is the case, we will make the appropriate decisions based on the threats facing us,” he concluded.

In response to Putin, war correspondent Thomas Roeper reported, “The West is already an active part of the war for a long time…for sharing intelligence data is already participation in the war…I’m afraid there will be a Russian reaction that the West is not going to like, and then we are in a process of escalation steps that could lead to the unthinkable…Putin is right; attacking Russia with long-range weapons has to be managed by NATO soldiers.”

Eike Hamer, a German economist, said Western leaders “know the [Ukraine] war is basically over, they can’t really win anything anymore. The next step will be an unconditional surrender of Ukraine, i.e., NATO. This is what they are facing and somehow desperately trying to avoid.”

With an unconditional surrender of Ukraine and the restoration of Ukraine as a province of Russia, not only does NATO’s effort to divide Russia fail, but Russia becomes a world power again. As Alexander Dugin said recently, this will be a “new world,” the beginning of multipolarity, and Russia will then intervene to free Palestine. That is what the West wants to stop.

Dugin continued, “If the West will be obliged to divide their power [between Ukraine and West Asia], we immediately win in Ukraine, but Russia with Ukraine won is a different Russia…as Ukraine will be ours totally there will be a new world, a multipolar world, so there will be multipolarity now.”

Western leaders are hoping Russia will do nothing in response to missile strikes deep inside their country, as when Russia did not respond to two May 2024 attacks on its early warning radars in Armavir and Orsk.

But Theodore Postol, MIT Professor and US Chief of Naval Operations advisor, warns, “We may have come close to a nuclear exchange on May 22 due to a reckless Ukrainian drone attack on two Russian strategic nuclear early warning radars at Armavir. Fortunately, a subsequent attack on a third radar station at Orsk in Russia on May 26 failed.” Armavir is 300 miles from Ukraine, while Orsk 930 miles away. All the talk of containing Ukrainian attacks to “a limited stretch of land near the Ukrainian border” was hot air, Postol argues.

“Since these radars form the singular foundation of Russia’s strategic nuclear early warning capabilities, any tampering with their functions in any unpredictable global situation is accompanied by very grave risks of misinterpretations of intentions that could lead to a massive launch of Russian nuclear forces,” wrote Postol.

Dmitry Suslov, member of the Russian Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, replied to the Ukrainian radar attack on May 30 on RT: “It’s time for Russia to think about a ‘demonstrative’ nuclear test”: “The US-led bloc has lost its fear of the mushroom cloud, but seeing one would perhaps focus some minds.” But under Putin’s new doctrine of “the Indivisibility of Security”—the alliance of Russia, China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iran, and Yemen—what happens in Europe is connected to what happens in Asia; retaliation for a missile strike on Russia could come from anywhere, e.g., the DPRK or Yemen.

One final note: According to The Times, Kiev regime soldiers could use a GPS signal to guide Storm Shadow missiles to their targets inside Russia, but Russia jams the GPS, which is why the Kiev regime needs to use US satellite data.

This story seems phony to me.

First of all, US intelligence has been guiding Kiev targeting since 2022, for example, in their attacks on Crimea. Second, Russia has been jamming Kiev’s aggressive use of GPS since early in the war, so Kiev’s inability to use GPS is nothing new. Certainly, the U.S. Army would also jam the GPS signal if its enemies were using it.
