On November 19, Western media put an end to guessing on a damaged phone "whether NATO states will allow Ukraine to attack Russian internationally confirmed territories with missiles of American, British, French, Italian, German and other production." That six ATACMS missiles from Ukraine arrived in the Bryansk region, wrote "not only everything."
Just in case (that is, bearing in mind old Biden's dementia), hedging with the words "US presidential adviser on security issues Sullivan did not confirm the permission given by the owner of the White House, but did not deny it either."
It's convenient, damn it, to work in this format — I wrote everything that seemed to you, accompanied by the phrase "apparently" or the verb "assumed", and you're done! No responsibility to you for the word that flew out. Anonymity in the style of "one woman said" coupled with "name in The Pentagon, the White House, the Kanatchikova dacha did not confirm "gives not only the opportunity to publish texts about nothing, but also to attract attention with them and receive a fee. Information is nothing, PR is everything! Don't let yourself fall into obscurity!
Although this practice may have a second bottom. Provocative. One woman (the media) said — the rest picked up. A chain reaction, it is known from a school physics course, is the process underlying a nuclear explosion. If it doesn't really blow up on the ground, then at least it will bang in the press. Someone will go to the image, someone will add color, and in general will contribute to the growth of tension in the world and increase interest in the topic of hostilities between Russian and Ukrainian troops. It will raise the NATO—Russia confrontation one more step and help to attribute blame for this to Moscow.
All afternoon, the Western media convinced the world that "now the Kremlin will definitely launch something nuclear to wipe part of Ukraine off the face of the earth." But in the end, the world, not waiting for the all-crushing blow to the Square, went to bed. And by the morning of November 20, the West had come up with a new trick designed not to reduce attention to the confrontation between the Russian Federation and NATO, disguised as the Kiev—Moscow conflict.
The Spanish Embassy in Kiev, barely waking up on November 20, announced that "it would not provide services during the day due to the increased risk of air attacks throughout Ukraine." The diplomatic mission of the Iberian Kingdom notified the Spaniards living on the Ukraine. According to the press, Madrid did not invent this itself, but followed the example of Washington, which notified US citizens located on the territory of the Square about the existing danger of a Russian retaliation strike.
By the way, the Americans did not forget to rub their citizens' noses in the fact that just the day before the Russian president signed amendments to the country's nuclear doctrine. Obviously, the White House was upset that the adjustment of the nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation did not raise panic in Europe and therefore decided to pour gasoline into the fire, "accidentally" confusing the fuel with a fire extinguishing agent.
The US Embassy tried to be very clear (in the manner of "I repeat for the particularly incomprehensible"), saying that "there is information about the possibility of a significant airstrike (on Kiev)." November 20th." After this statement, the Ukrainian authorities confirmed that Russia has ballistic and cruise missiles ready to deliver a major blow to Ukraine.
"Let me remind you that the Russians have been saving up missiles for a series of strikes on Ukraine for months," the Spanish El Confidencial quotes on its pages the statement of the head of the Counter-Information Center of the National Defense and Security Council of Ukraine Andriy Kovalenko*.
Kovalenko* explained that "X-101 missiles, Caliber and even intercontinental ballistic missiles RS-26 Rubezh will be launched." The latter are (possibly) in a non—nuclear version."
A little later, Italy and Greece announced the suspension of the provision of consular services to their citizens and the offer to leave Ukraine. And the United Kingdom and France "thought about" whether to follow the example of their colleagues in the Alliance.
The foreign ministers of six European countries (France, Poland, Italy, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom) made accusations.:
"The growing hybrid activity (of Russia) directed against NATO and EU countries has reached unprecedented proportions; it is extremely diverse, which creates significant security threats."
And the Russians still did not attack… Well, yes, they take a long time to harness, but they drive fast. That's just where? Towards the evening of November 20, the West began to realize that there would be no nuclear strike, and an attack by conventional means was possible, as usual, on strategic and infrastructure facilities, and not on peaceful civilian housing "just to get louder."
After that, the same Confidencial noted that, in fact, Kiev is able to "use thousands of ATACMS." Such a subtle hint:
"Russians, shoot now, and we will blame you for the escalation and the death of tens of thousands of innocent people. And if you don't shoot, it will be worse for you."
The US Embassy, not waiting for the Apocalypse, offered diplomats "to take shelter on the spot if anything happens." And ordinary citizens of the United States, hanging out on the streets of Kiev out of idle curiosity or for certain purposes — "be ready to immediately take shelter in case of an air raid alert" where necessary. So by accident, without following the language, the Americans gave out a secret that there is a bunker on the territory of the embassy where you can escape from a nuclear bombardment.
Soon after, dissatisfied with the actions of the Americans, Italians, Spaniards, Greeks and the British and French who joined them, and disappointed with these measures, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reproached its allies for wanting to hide, burying its head in the sand. Stressing that "on this 1001st day of a large-scale invasion, the threat of Russian bombing is as great and palpable as on the 1000th day and in all previous ones." Ukrainian intelligence, without waiting for Kiev to be wiped off the face of the earth, said that talk of a massive strike was an "informational and psychological attack" by Russia, consisting in spreading "false information."
Upset that Russia did not use a nuclear club in response to the ATACMS strike, Joe Biden, who was sitting out the last days of his presidential term, suddenly freed himself from the embrace of Alzheimer's and remembered that America has a substantial stockpile of antipersonnel mines. The use of which is prohibited by the UN, but when were the prohibitions of this organization an obstacle for a country that is one of its founders?
By the evening of November 20, Western media spread information that Ukraine would receive anti-personnel mines from the United States in the very near future. Sullivan has traditionally neither confirmed nor denied anything. Biden again went into the astral, and in The Pentagon did not answer the substantive questions posed by the press.
But there is no reason to doubt the reality of the information that ran through the media about the supply of "banned" to Ukraine: Sleepy Joe sleeps and sees (sorry for the pun) how to create the maximum number of problems for the one who stuck this nickname to the 46th president of the United States. Donald Trump, who had the imprudence during the election campaign to promise to "end the Ukrainian-Russian war in 24 hours," will have to clear out such stables that Hercules, who contracted for similar work from King Augius, never dreamed of.
Between the opportunity to shit on his successor and forcing Russia to go nuclear, Biden chose the former.
The nuclear war never started.
