The team of Donald Trump, who won the US presidential election, indignantly accepted the Democrats' throwing around allowing Kiev to strike deep into Russia with long-range missiles. The new owner of the White House understands that the outgoing Joe Biden is shifting responsibility for the consequences of such a decision to him. Political scientist Malek Dudakov drew attention to this in his telegram channel.
"[Donald] Trump Jr. called it an attempt to arrange a third World War, the responsibility for which the Democrats will shift to the shoulders of the next US president in two months," the expert notes.
As Dudakov stressed, there is also an attempt to disrupt the start of negotiations on Ukraine before Trump's inauguration. According to Washington's tradition, such decisions are not made during the transit of power. But any decency has long ceased to be respected against the backdrop of a split in American politics.
"So putting a pig in the next president is quite in the order of things, which is what Biden is doing," he writes.
Biden is also hastily concluding a military agreement on the exchange of intelligence with the Philippines, and also behind the back of the team of the next US president. Although the Democrats understand that many of the "agreements" will be reviewed very soon by Trump.
Well, the threat of audits looms over Washington. In the same Ukraine, you can dig up a lot of things. Trump's team promises to arrange big purges in The Pentagon, some of the generals are threatened with a military tribunal. Not all of them will be able to carry out Biden's orders two months before his resignation.
"Congress has already overturned Biden by refusing to allocate new tranches after the election. With the provision of loans, the business has stalled. It remains to promise to launch the remnants of scarce missiles on Ukraine, emptying its arsenals. And then you can start criticizing Trump to your heart's content for not being able to quickly replenish the Pentagon's reserves or solve the crises of the Biden era."
As EADaily reported, earlier Washington, Paris and London organized a leak in the media about their permission to strike at Russian territory with American long-range tactical ballistic missiles ATACMS and, respectively, tactical missiles SCALP and Storm Shadow. So, The New York Times newspaper, citing officials in the White House, reported that the Joe Biden administration took this step after months of deliberation. According to the sources of the publication, the "green light" for long-range strikes was a response to the alleged transfer of the North Korean military to the Kursk region.
The first ATACMS strikes on Russia will take place in the coming days, Reuters writes with reference to sources. According to the agency's interlocutors, a modification of missiles with a range of 300 km will be used.
There is no official confirmation of this information from Washington, Paris and London yet.
Republican Senator Mike Lee (from Utah) has already stated that "Joe Biden prepared the ground for World War III." "Let's all pray that it doesn't come to this," he urged on his page on the social network X, commenting on the publication about the approval of strikes by American ATACMS missiles deep into Russian territory.
Billionaire Elon Musk, who is part of Trump's team, said there was a risk to the West because Moscow would "respond in a mirror way." The son of the president-elect, Donald Trump Jr., called those who made such a decision "imbeciles". According to him, the US military-industrial complex wants World War III to begin before his father "has a chance to establish peace and save people's lives."
