I would say we better get our own Government under control before they drag us into this ....

After a very tense and, by most accounts, failed, meeting between French President Macron and Russian President Putin, Russia began deploying MiG-31K fighter jets ARMED WITH NUCLEAR KINZHAL MISSILES, to Kaliningrad. Those planes and those missiles are NOT routinely stationed there.

With tensions between NATO and Russia hitting all-time highs over the Ukraine situation, French President Emanuel Macron met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow today. By all accounts, the meeting was extremely tense and ended with almost ZERO good results.

At issue is Ukraine and it's stated intention to join NATO, thereby allowing US missile "defenses" to be placed on Ukraine soil.

If Ukraine enters NATO, the very first order of business is to place US missile defenses on Ukraine soil. Ukraine said it, the U.S. said it, NATO said it.

This intention has been public knowledge since at least 2014 when the European Union (EU) and the US fomented, incited, and paid for, the forcible, violent, overthrow of Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovich.

US missile defenses - if launched from inside Ukraine - can hit Moscow within five (5) minutes of launch. They can hit Russia's Strategic Nuclear Missile Silos within about 7 minutes.

Those US missiles can be retrofitted with offensive nuclear warheads within about one (1) hour. The retrofit can be done while the missiles are in their launchers, so no one would even know the warheads had been changed from DEFENSIVE (conventional) to OFFENSIVE (nuclear) warheads.

Russia cannot defend itself from missiles that have a five minute flight time to Moscow or a seven minute flight time to Russia's strategic silos.

Thus, this has become an existential threat to Russia. Literally, their actual existence is at stake.

Russia is doing today, exactly what US President John F. Kennedy did in 1963 when the then-Soviet Union place medium range and intermediate range NUCLEAR missiles in Cuba.

There was no argument about Cuba's sovereign right to align itself with whomever they wanted. Kennedy made clear, either those missiles go or the US will invade Cuba and destroy them.

Here we are, fifty+ years later, and the situation is now reversed; the US is doing it to Russia. Russia is having the exact same reaction today that President Kennedy had in 1963. They simply cannot -- and will not -- allow American missiles with a five minute flight time to Moscow, to be placed in Ukraine.

It was hoped that a meeting today between French President Macron and Russian President Putin, would serve to come to some peaceful resolution of the issues. That did not happen. NATO is still moving troops and equipment into eastern Europe because, they say, Russia has moved 100,000+ troops inside its own country, but near Ukraine.

No one ever bothers to mention that BEFORE Russia began moving its troops, Ukraine moved fifty percent (50%) of its Army to the outskirts of the Ukraine states of Luhansk and Donetsk. Both those states are Russian-speaking populations and want to breakaway from Ukraine and become part of Russia. Ukraine says "no" and moved the army to stop it by force.

This began in 2014 after the EU and US overthrew the democratically elected President of Ukraine and installed a puppet government favorable to the west. Crimea voted to leave Ukraine and return to Russia. Luhansk and Donetsk wanted to do that too.

We in the US are the aggressors here. We fomented, incited, and paid for, the overthrow of Ukraine's government in 2014 to install a new government, favorable to the West, which would allow placement of US missiles in Ukraine.

Russia knows this. They also know that if we're brazen enough to forcibly overthrow a government on Russia's border, we're also brazen enough to strike Russia first. Russia is not going to allow it.

President Putin made remarks today, saying "Ukraine joining NATO or trying to take Crimea by force would result in NATO being dragged into a war with Russia that no one can win." By using the phrase "a war no one can win" Putin made clear it means nuclear war. Period. Full stop.
