Commentary by Russian military journalist is italics

[ColonelCassad] The Russian Foreign Ministry announced Russia's readiness to attack British assets outside Ukraine in response to British attacks from the territory of Ukraine.

On May 6, the British Ambassador to Moscow N. Casey was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry, to whom a strong protest was expressed in connection with the recent statement by British Foreign Minister D. Cameron in an interview with Reuters about the right of Ukraine to strike Russian territory using British weapons.

N. Casey firmly pointed out that D. Cameron's hostile attack directly contradicts the previously sounded assurances of the British side when transferring long-range cruise missiles to the Kyiv regime, that under no circumstances would they be used on Russian territory. Thus, the head of the Foreign Office disavowed this position, de facto recognizing his country as a party to the conflict.

The ambassador was told that the Russian side views D. Cameron's words as evidence of a serious escalation and confirmation of London's increasing involvement in military operations on the side of Kyiv. N. Casey was warned that the response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons on Russian territory could be any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond its borders.

The Ambassador was called upon to think about the inevitable catastrophic consequences of such hostile steps from London and to immediately refute in the most decisive and unequivocal manner the bellicose provocative statements of the head of the Foreign Office.

A little earlier, Medvedev spoke in a similar style.

The chorus of irresponsible scoundrels from among the Western political elite, calling for sending their troops to a non-existent country, is expanding. Now it includes representatives of the US Congress, French and British leadership, and individual madmen from the Baltic states and Poland. They also call for the active use of their missile weapons, which they supplied to Bandera’s supporters, throughout Russia.

And this is not a spring aggravation, but a cynical calculation for political dividends. There is some kind of total degradation of the ruling class in the West. This class really does not want to logically connect elementary things. Sending your troops to the territory of b. Ukraine will entail the direct entry of their countries into the war, to which we will have to respond. And, alas, not in the territory of b. Ukraine.

In this case, none of them will be able to hide either on Capitol Hill, or in the Elysee Palace, or on Downing Street 10. A world catastrophe will come.

By the way, Kennedy and Khrushchev were able to understand this more than 60 years ago. But the current infantile morons who have seized power in the West do not want to understand.

And that is why today the General Staff began preparations for the exercises, including activities for practical testing of the preparation and use of non-strategic nuclear weapons.

You don’t have to worry, things won’t happen without another incarnation of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
