Russia's most advanced warship patrolling off the coast of Florida.
For thirteen days some sixty-two years ago, the world held its collective breath as Russian President Nikita Khrushchev and American President John F. Kennedy held a face-off over nuclear-tipped missiles on the island of Cuba. It would be for years and, in some cases, decades before the entire saga would be made public. What began as a fly-over by an American U-2 spy plane snapping hundreds of photographs of newly erected missile sites in the jungles of Cuba quickly escalated to an American Naval blockade of Cuba and Khrushchev threatening missile strikes on American soil.
Decades later and thousands of pages of ‘top-secret’ documents finally being analyzed, we learn the reason for Russia placing missiles in Cuba in the first place. The United States had placed short-range atomic missiles in neighboring Turkey and pointed them at Moscow during the ‘Cold War.’ Of course, the old USSR retaliated by constructing missile sites in Cuba. The American people may never know just how close we came to a full-blown nuclear conflict with Russia, but we know enough to know that it was indeed very close.
Today, we have Russian submarines and warships conducting drills in the waters around Cuba and Florida, and one needs to ask ‘why?’ If the unthinkable happens, the military reality is that missiles could be launched at American cities with only minutes for our military to respond which is not enough time to defend against a strike against Miami or even Washington, D.C…
Imagine, if you will, the Russian submarine going deep, traveling up the coastline, then rising to only fifty or so feet below the surface, and launching a rocket aimed at the United States Capital. Being only fifty or a hundred miles offshore, it will only take this rocket mere minutes to arrive on Capitol Hill. There will not be enough time for the United States to react in an effort to defend itself. Now, we have a destroyed government and millions of dead Americans.
Now, we need to ask ourselves as American citizens, “Why is Vladimir Putin putting on such an intimidating show of force mere miles off our coastline?” He has never done this before. So why now? Technically speaking, Putin is well within his rights to send these nuclear-armed warships to his ally nation of Cuba as long as they remain in International waters off our coastline. But keep in mind that International waters are only (again, technically speaking) twelve nautical miles offshore from the American coastline. Let us assume that Vlad positions his warships fifty miles offshore or even a hundred miles offshore, this is still not near enough time for us to mount a defense against incoming missiles.
The only logical reason that makes sense is that Putin is sending a message to Joe Biden and the American administration. The message is simple; “back off of Ukraine” and stop the aiding and abetting of this rogue nation or else! We need to remember a key component of this Ukraine war with Russia. Putin had said all along that all he wanted was for Ukraine to be a free and independent nation. Remember that the bulk of Russia and Ukraine are related by blood. Ukraine has millions of Russians living there and visa/versa. They are all the same people! Putin also knows that Ukraine’s President Zelenskiy is a tyrant (although he conceals it well) and has even gone so far as to ban certain religious faiths in his nation.
For the past two years, the American media has told the United States that “Ukraine is winning this war” and that Russia is all but a paper tiger. We only need to send countless billions of dollars and hardware to Ukraine, and they can prevail, and the Ukrainian people will have freedom and liberty. This has all been bull fertilizer. Remember those large apartment buildings at the beginning of the war that Ukraine said the Russian military had attacked? How do you have an apartment building that is ten stories tall with hundreds of apartments, have a missile shot into it, and nobody dies? Really? Is it not possible that Zelenskiy destroyed his own apartment buildings to create sympathy and garner American money and hardware for this war?
According to many military experts, the latest intelligence reports are that Putin and Russia have amassed some 500,000 troops and thousands of tanks on the Ukraine border, and they’re poised for a final push into Ukraine to win the war.
Joe Biden’s recent visit to Europe and the G7 meetings had Biden and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy signing a ten-year agreement for the United States to arm and supply Ukraine with weapons and cash. What Biden has effectively done is instigate World War III. Here is a CIA Analyst giving his take on this situation.
Here is the hard truth about this situation: Joe Biden is all but owned by the Ukrainian government. Remember the infamous interview in which Biden admitted to blackmailing the Ukraine President some years back, who was having his Attorney General investigate Hunter? This was due to Hunter selling access to his father, who was Vice President at the time. Here is that admission.
Understand, Vladimir Putin may very well be playing chicken with the United States. Then again, what if he isn’t? Does Germany, England, Italy, and France really want to go to war with Russia? Because this is what Biden is forcing. By pledging to arm and (keep in mind that it is already being reported that Ukraine is firing American-made rockets into Russia) supply Ukraine for the next decade, Biden is leaving Putin with no alternatives except to back down. He will not. Putin is a very intelligent and proud man who pledged to free Ukraine, plus he doesn’t want NATO rockets on his border.
Are we on the verge of a World War because of this administration’s ineptness? We are very likely (at this point) at a crossroads, and the temperature is being ratcheted up, not turned down. If we end up in a war with Russia, nobody wins, and this is yet another reason why this President must go, and we must re-elect Donald Trump.
