Recently, some media reported that President Joe Biden of the United States had approved Ukraine to use long-range missiles provided by the United States to attack targets in Russia.
On November 19th local time, Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed at a press conference that this was indeed the case.
Subsequently, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that the Ukrainian military had launched its first attack on Bryansk Oblast in Russia using a US missile system.
In response, Russia launched one intercontinental ballistic missile on November 21st.
In order to prevent possible retaliatory actions by Russia, the United States, Italy, Greece, Spain and other countries have announced the closure of their embassies in Ukraine, and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also reminded Chinese citizens in Ukraine to pay attention to their safety.
Today, the author will talk about the new impacts that this strong smell of gunpowder will bring to the world.
Continuation of life in Ukraine.
Provide high-end combat power.
In addition to the well-known Hamas, the long-range weapons lifted this time also include the US Army tactical missile system and the British and French “Storm Shadow” stealth cruise missile.
This type of weapon demonstrated extraordinary long-range strike capabilities in local wars such as the Gulf War, effectively filling the gap in Ukraine’s high-end combat power.
Boosting the confidence of the Ukrainian military.
Recently, with the Russian army attacking the important stronghold of Sedodovo in Donetsk, the Ukrainian army’s Donetsk front line is facing a situation of complete collapse.
At this point in time, lifting the ban and attacking the Russian mainland can effectively boost the confidence of the Ukrainian military, thereby holding the Donetsk front for as long as possible.
Strive for post-war benefits.
With the victory of Donald Trump, who claimed that “the Russia-Ukraine conflict will end in 24 hours”, in the US election, all parties generally believed that the Russia-Ukraine conflict was about to enter the countdown, and how to strive for more interests became the focus.
The lifting of restrictions on weapons can help maintain existing military achievements to the maximum extent possible, deter Russian attacks, and gain more benefits for post-war negotiations.
Provoking Russia.
The regional situation suddenly became tense.
On September 12, Russian President Putin said in an interview that the direct involvement of NATO, the United States and European countries in the Russia-Ukraine conflict would completely change the nature of the conflict, which “would mean war with Russia”, and that Russia would “make appropriate decisions” according to the threats it faced.
The unfortunate realization of what was said in the past also indicates that the Russia-Ukraine conflict will move towards a stage of confrontation between Russia and the US Western groups.
Important facilities are under threat.
The lifting of the ban has given the Ukrainian military new capabilities to expand its combat range, putting great pressure on Russia’s domestic air defense.
In western Russia, near the Ukrainian battlefield, there are a large number of military airports, ammunition depots, military camps, and logistics bases deployed, which are the most important military and logistics support bases to support the Russian military’s operations in Ukraine.
With the lifting of the ban, these will become key targets of attack, putting significant pressure on Russia’s already stretched supply lines.
The nuclear deterrence has significantly escalated.
As soon as the news of the lifting of restrictions by the United States was released, Russia immediately slammed the table to express its dissatisfaction.
In response, on November 19th, Russian President Putin signed a decree approving an updated version of the “nuclear doctrine” and once again relaxing the conditions for the use of nuclear weapons.
The new version of the “nuclear doctrine” emphasizes that “any non nuclear country’s aggression against Russia with the participation or support of nuclear armed countries” is considered a “joint attack” against Russia.
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov stated that if Ukraine uses Western non nuclear missiles to attack Russia, then according to the new nuclear deterrence policy, Russia can use nuclear weapons to retaliate.
Pity Trump.
The US general election is over, and Donald Trump is about to enter the White House.
In the rest of the “garbage time”, Joe Biden must be thinking about how to dig more holes for Trump.
The Joe Biden government chose to lift the restrictions at this time to further escalate the situation in Russia and Ukraine, and let Trump’s Russia Ukraine proposition become a big story.
In addition, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has been postponed for more than two years, and various interest groups have been formed in the United States, which rely on the Russia-Ukraine conflict to sell anxiety, arms and profit.
These interest groups obviously do not want to see Donald Trump end the war quickly.
Ultimately, Ukraine is just a “cash machine” for American arms dealers and a victim of political infighting in the United States.
Next, let’s wait and see where the Russia-Ukraine conflict will go!
