From Simplicius via his Substack:

[...]
[Russia's revised nuclear] doctrine of course allows Russia to respond with nuclear use against overwhelming air attacks or attacks from a proxy aided in large part by a major nuclear adversary.
[...]

But that won'tt happen. There'll be no 'overwhelming' air or missile attacks that could threaten Russia in any way.

The danger lies in a possible mistake (a software malfunction or a human error), and as best I know no-one is talking about this. These events have happened several times in the past, and constitute the greatest possibility of a nuclear launch automatically followed by a massive nuclear response. Do see the Avalon thread about Annie Jacobsen's research into the topic, including how easily such a mistake could happen.

~~~

Oooof. AT THE EXACT MOMENT I was writing this, Jeffrey Sachs said precisely the same thing in this video from yesterday, which I was listening to now, referencing Annie Jacobsen's book.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 - The alleged Storm Shadow attack on Marino, Kursk region of Russia.

The Russian Governor of Kursk claims two missiles entered its airspace and both were intercepted, but did not specify which type of missiles. The Russian military journalist, 'Two Majors', says 12 Storm Shadows were in fact used. Ukraine has neither confirmed nor denied.

‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️The Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) are experiencing an acute shortage of resources and experienced commanders, and they are increasingly being encircled, according to the New York Times.

▪️Servicemen reported that in some sections of the front, Russian forces outnumber them by more than six times, and they frequently face critical situations, such as encirclement and supply shortages.
➖”Even if a position is held, supplies—ammunition and provisions—eventually run out. Any vehicle attempting to reach these positions will be ambushed. We constantly find ourselves in such difficult situations,” lamented Vyacheslav, the commander of a UAV unit.

▪️UAF servicemen also noted a noticeable decrease in their retaliatory fire over recent weeks. One drone operator stated, “You can hardly hear HIMARS anymore; they’re just not there.”

Journalist Tucker Carlson warned that Biden’s approval for Kiev to strike deep into Russia with ATACMS puts all Americans at risk of death.

"A lame duck president just started a hot war with the world’s most dangerous country. All of us are very close to being killed," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Ukrainian military sources report that a swarm of Russian long range TU-160 and TU-95 bombers are about to launch a barrage of missiles at Ukraine

---

This is one to watch carefully. These heavy Russian missile strikes happen regularly (maybe the heaviest of all just a few days ago), but this one will be Russia's specific response to the ATACMS and Storm Shadow strikes into their own territory.

The US and NATO will be watching carefully as well to see to what extent Putin is (or is not) 'bluffing'. This won't be a nuclear strike, of course, but it might nonetheless be a devastating one. It also has to be just possible that the targets might not be confined to Ukraine, and until the missiles are released from the bombers and then tracked their actual targets can't be known.

‼️🇷🇺🏴‍☠️ Live Assault: Our troops are clearing settlements in the Kurakhovo direction

▪️ Assault units of a separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade from the "South" group of forces continue to destroy Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) strongholds and clear settlements in the Kurakhovo direction. Every step of the fighters is closely monitored by their commander.

▪️ Using the "Wolf Hunt" tactic, the assault troops split into small groups and encircle the enemy, driving them into confined spaces. The encirclement gradually tightens, leaving UAF militants no chance to hold their fortified areas and reinforced underground positions, forcing them to surrender.

▪️ During the tasks of liberating settlements, the assault units receive fire support from artillery, mortars, tanks, strike and reconnaissance drones, and electronic warfare systems. Throughout the combat operations, the commander directs the battle in real-time from a command post, maintaining communication with the troops.

🇺🇦🏳️'Some of us were not allowed to take up arms': AFU POW talks about militants with mental disorders

AFU serviceman Aleksandr Rafalyuk, who surrendered in the Kursk region, said that he had met servicemen with mental disorders who were not allowed by their commanders to take up arms.

'Recruiters came to my work and took us away. There were three of us, and all three of us were taken away. We were sent to a training ground in Rovno. We were trained by former Ukrainian soldiers. Well, they were still in the military, but they were written off. Some of us were not allowed to take up arms, probably because of mental disorders. There were a few people who were not allowed to take up arms,' he said.

• Ukraine reportedly firing British made missiles into Russia:

Ukraine has reportedly fired British-made storm shadow missiles into Russia for the first time. Earlier this week it emerged that the US had granted Ukraine approval to fire long-range missiles into Russia. Russia believes US President Joe Biden is escalating the conflict.

I doubt Putin is bluffing, I expect him to respond any moment now, it will be intense. He's too smart to use nuclear weapons at this time in my opinion, but he will let his "message" be known.

What I find most astonishing is the US just actually attacked Russia without congressional approval and no one in government is saying much. It goes to show how deeply diseased the house and senate are with scumbag demonic psychopaths. Any other president doing this would of been ripped apart. This is way different than sending a missile or two into Syria or Yemen.

These missiles and US troops to control these missiles were already in place. Ukraine can not just unload and launch these themselves.

I think the next thing we'll see is either Israel or the US hit some Russian targets in Syria and possibly kill some Russians.

It's quite obvious the bear is being poked with a hot iron....

Zakharova stated that Ukraine is no longer of value to the West.

The flight of Western embassies from Kyiv was commented on by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, during an interview with “KP.”

•Maria Vladimirovna, the embassies of the U.S., Spain, Italy, and Greece are fleeing Kyiv. The last time this happened was in February 2022. And this is only the first wave - others are following the U.S. in quick succession. The reason is simple. Rumors are spreading across Europe: “Kyiv may soon face a massive strike.” So, our foreign “former partners,” in authorizing the use of long-range ATACMS, fully understood what they were condemning Ukraine to? The Ukrainian people? And yet they still provided the weapons - condemning them to retaliatory strikes? How can you comment on such a level of cynicism and inhumanity?

•This proves that Ukraine and Ukrainians are just a tool for the West, - the diplomat said in an interview with “Komsomolskaya Pravda.” - And after that tool broke, it no longer holds any value.

Let us remind you that, according to experts, one of four possible responses to the use of long-range weapons may involve strikes on targets in Ukraine that Russia has previously spared. These include heating networks, communications, and even administrative buildings in Kyiv, up to and including the complex on Bankova Street.
