Ukraine: The Final Showdown

Editor's note: Billions of US dollars continue pouring into Ukraine. The US-UK continue escalating this war against Russia. This while the west unloads all their crap off on Ukraine with an estimated 300,000 to 350,000 dead (does anyone know the real number?), missing and seriously injured Ukrainian soldiers.

End game in the Ukraine war approaches with lightning speed

By gilbertdoctorow | June 20, 2023

Today Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu made an announcement that has not yet been carried in Western media but which is of the most grave nature.

According to the latest intelligence reports, Russia believes that the Ukrainian armed forces now intend to cover their failed counter-offensive in the Donbas by using US-supplied Himars multiple launch artillery and UK-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missiles, possibly in the longer range domestic version, to attack the Crimea.

If this happens, says Shoigu, Russia will consider both the United States and Britain to have fully entered the war as co-belligerents. And Russia will immediately respond to any such attack on its territory by destroying "the decision making centers" of the Kiev regime. This is a fairly transparent threat to "neutralize" their government apparatus and personnel, logically including President Zelensky.

The statement by Shoigu leaves little doubt that we are entering the final phase of the Ukraine war as a war limited to the geography of Ukraine, and are possibly heading into a wider war with unforeseeable consequences both for Europeans and (finally) for Americans.

The ball is in the court of Washington and London.
