Russia Announces Changes to Nuclear Doctrine: Western Missile Strikes Deep Inside Russia Will Trigger an Atomic Response

WORLD WAR III UPDATE: The globalist left moved the world closer to nuclear war on Wednesday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin met with officials on Wednesday and announced changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine.

Putin lowered the threshold regarding Russian strategic forces’ use of nukes.

In a televised address to Russia’s Security Council, Putin said nuclear doctrine has been effectively revised in light of recent developments.

Putin warned NATO in his message to top Russian leaders after meetings on Wednesday.

Vladimir Putin: “The updated version of the document proposes that aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear weapons state but with the participation or support of a nuclear weapon state should be regarded as a joint attack on the Russian federation.

The conditions for Russia’s transition to the use of nuclear weapons are also clearly defined. We will consider such a possibility as soon as we receive reliable information about a massive launch of aerospace attack NEDS and their crossing of our state border. Meaning strategic or tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, hypersonic missiles and other aircraft…

…We reserve the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Russia and Belarus as a member of the union state. All of these agreements have been agreed upon with the Belarussian side and with the president of Belarus.

US to Oversee Ukrainian Student Textbooks

History is written by the victor. In the case of Russa and Ukraine, both sides are indoctrinating the next generation to believe in an extremely biased view of past results. The United States is injecting itself into Ukrainian history by overseeing the production of three million educational textbooks.

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) and European Union had begun printing textbooks from Ukraine in 2023 under the “New Ukrainian School” program. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, a known Neocon, said that the next batch of textbooks will be delivered to over 12,000 schools across Ukraine before the start of the school year.

Russia allegedly attacked printing house Factor-Druk which supplied “a significant percentage of all books in Ukraine, including textbooks for Ukrainian children,” according to Sullivan, Yet, the West had already begun printing textbooks for Ukrainian children before the attack that occurred in May 2024.

“A key change for students concerns approaches to learning and educational content. At the Ministry of Education and Science, we are confident that this is the most important thing because the goal of the New Ukrainian School is to raise an innovator and citizen who is capable of making responsible decisions and respects human rights,” Ukraine’s government stated in regards to the “New Ukrainian School” curriculum that first circulated in 2017. “Instead of memorizing facts and definitions, students will acquire competencies. This is a dynamic combination of knowledge, skills, ways of thinking, opinions, values, and other personal qualities that determine a person’s ability to socialize well and to engage in professional and/or further learning activities. In other words, core knowledge is formed that will be supplemented with the ability to use this knowledge, with values and skills that Ukrainian school leavers will need in their professional and personal life.”

In other words, the school is focusing on shaping the next generation’s morals and values based on the government’s ideals. We see the same thing across the West, with students in the United States learning about non-educational topics such as gender identity at a young age.

Pranked Sikorski says quiet part out loud about Kyiv’s​ EU challenge

Trenchant Polish Foreign Minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, was rendered red faced recently by a prankster, who interviewed him, pretending to be former Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko.

Sikorski illuminated a number of granular and controversial policy issues related to the Ukraine war. His most telling comments focussed on Ukraine’s aspiration to join the European Union, which he described as a process ‘that will take a decade or more’.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Zelensky has been pushing for immediate or fast-tracked EU membership for Ukraine. Ukraine has campaigned hard for this, the EU finally opening accession negotiations in June 2024. Sikorski’s comments remind us what others have voiced quietly: that it won’t be quick and easy.

More significantly, he hints at reasons why it might not be possible at all, on terms that Ukraine would like.

Despite being British, I’m a passionate believer in the European project and I think it is right for Ukraine to focus on future membership. Unlike many, I have always seen the EU as first and foremost an economic project. When I ended my posting to Russia in February 2019, I drove from Moscow to England, passing through Ukraine and into the EU at the Polish border. I saw the moderating influence on relationships between citizens of very different states, by opening borders to free movement and commerce.

The EU advertising slogan describes the enlargement process as a “geostrategic investment in peace, security, stability and prosperity.” But it’s not simply a matter of peace and security. It’s also a matter of money. The EU works on the basis of richer countries subsidising the poorer, in a carefully negotiated and hotly contested settlement that has been in place for twenty years since the last big bang enlargement. Ten wealthier countries, led by Germany, pay more to the EU than they receive, and subsidize the 17 less wealthy countries who receive more EU funds than they pay to the EU budget. An easy concept to grasp.

So, even though Poland has burgeoned economically since the end of the Cold War, it still receives more EU funding that it pays in. In fact, Poland receives more EU funds than any other European country, because it has such a large population, with net inflows of 7 billion euros in 2023.

But Ukraine’s economy is four and a half times smaller than Poland’s. It is the poorest country in Europe — in fact, poorer now than Moldova — with the sixth largest population. It has a larger population than all the other EU aspirant countries combined. It would be, by some considerable margin, the largest recipient of EU funds in the event of accession.

Both Sides Talking ‘End Of The War’ In Ukraine-Is Peace Near?

We couldn’t help but notice this morning that both side in the last 48 hours have talked about ending the war in East Ukraine. In our view, this is the best way forward — stop the useless killing!

For its part, the Russian Federation stated today that the ‘special military operation’ will end when its goals are achieved.

“For us there is absolutely no alternative to achieving our set goals,” declared Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized. “As soon as these goals have been achieved in one way or another, the special military operation will be completed.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin repeatedly mentioned the fundamental goals of the special military operation, such as the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, its neutral status, and recognition of the realities on the ground, including the wish of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics and Kherson and Zaporozhye regions to reunite with Russia the way Crimea and Sevastopol did in 2014, reported Russian state news agency TASS.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said during an interview with ABC that the ‘end of the war was near’, mentioning his peace plan. However, Zelenskiy was just in the United States visiting munitions factories and pushing in Washington, D.C. for long-range weapons to strike deep into the Russian Federation.

In an unexpected development, it was reported that Pentagon leadership told President* Biden that they were ‘in control of the war’ and the continued push for WWIII would be abated; meaning — no approval to continue to hit major Russian targets far from Ukraine.

This is a double-edged sword as the linked article suggests, but an interesting development.

The best path for world peace is to stop in its tracks the onslaught of world war, and get President Trump in The White House. In other words, get some adult leadership in the room.

To that point, there are also reports President Trump may meet with Zelenskiy.

Are They Trying to Start World War 3 Before the Election?

Events in the Middle East and in Ukraine are bringing us dangerously close to the unthinkable, but meanwhile most people in the western world are paying very little attention to what is going on.  We literally have not been this close to an apocalyptic global war since the end of World War 2, and yet most of the population is partying.  Unfortunately, it won’t be too long before they are shaken out of their slumber.

On Sunday, it was being reported that a Ukrainian drone has hit a facility in Russia that houses one of the highly sophisticated nuclear missiles that Russia has started to produce…

A Ukrainian kamikaze drone strike reportedly struck Vladimir Putin’s Satan-2 nuclear missile, prompting an apocalyptic explosion yesterday morning.

A secret ammunition silo facility at Toropets in Tver region that housed one of the Russian President’s nuke missiles was hit by Ukrainian drone, it was claimed yesterday.

It allegedly happened just ten miles from an ‘indestructible’ 30,000 ton munitions storage site that had been obliterated on Wednesday.

It is literally insane to use kamikaze drones to attack nuclear missiles. But that is the entire point.

The Ukrainians are losing the war, and so they are desperately trying to provoke an “over the top” reaction from the Russians that will force NATO to get directly involved in the fighting.

Washington’s Ukraine Obsession Is Going To Get Us All Killed!

Last week the world narrowly escaped likely nuclear destruction, as the Biden Administration considered Ukraine’s request to allow US missiles to strike deeply into Russian territory. Russian president Vladimir Putin warned, as the request was being considered, that because these missiles could not be launched without the active participation of the US military and NATO, Russia would consider itself in a state of war with both NATO and the US should they be launched. It was a Cuban Missile Crisis on a massive scale.

Thankfully, permission was reportedly not granted by Washington to hit deep inside Russia, but as we have seen throughout this war, a weapons system is often first denied and then eventually granted to Washington’s proxies in Kiev. We should not rest easy even if nuclear war has been temporarily averted.

Would missile strikes deep inside Russia win the war for Ukraine? Not even the Pentagon thinks so. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin himself said earlier this month that granting Ukraine permission to launch missiles into Russia would not be a “game-changer” in the two and a half year war.

Risking nuclear destruction for no tangible purpose? Have these people gone insane?

Even the “game-changers” have changed little in this war. How many times has the pro-war mainstream media told us a weapons system would be a “game-changer” for Ukraine? Remember Javelin missiles? Leopard tanks? HIMARS? And as each one of them fails to turn the tide in Ukraine’s favor, the neocons and their friends in the media only demand more.

The fact is that Russia is winning the war despite hundreds of billions of dollars and the best weapons systems from the US and NATO countries. Each new shipment of increasingly sophisticated weapons does not produce battlefield victories for Ukraine. It only produces more dead Ukrainian soldiers and more profits for the weapons manufacturers.

Ukrainian President Zelensky Openly Campaigns for Dems in Battleground State, Harris Surrogate PA Governor Josh Shapiro Joins Him to Sign Bombs

While Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is in the United States begging for more U.S. taxpayer dollars and munitions, he appears to be using some of his time to stump for the Harris campaign and attack Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance on American soil.

Zelensky also joined Harris surrogate Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro for a tour of an ammunition factory in the Keystone State.

Zelensky had time for a sitdown interview with The New Yorker and directly went after Trump and Vance.

“My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how,” Zelensky said in the interview.

“With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it the less you understand. I’ve seen many leaders who were convinced they knew how to end it tomorrow, and as they waded deeper into it, they realized it’s not that simple.”

Zelensky also belittled Vance calling him “way too radical.”

“I don’t take Vance’s words seriously, because, if this were a plan, then America is headed for global conflict. It will involve Israel, Lebanon, Iran, Taiwan, China, as well as many African countries,” Zelensky said.

How Close We Came to WW3 on September 13th

Scott Ritter has now confirmed in detail that I was correct when I headlined and reported (emailed to 300 news-media, but it was rejected by all but four) on September 13th that “Biden might decide today whether to initiate WW3 against Russia.” Ritter also documents there that the reason why Biden decided against giving the UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer authorization for the UK to allow Ukraine’s government to use the UK’s Storm Shadow long-range missiles to strike deep into Russia (including to bomb The Kremlin) was that Russian President Vladimir Putin had emphatically warned that if Biden did, then not only would Russia strike against European countries which were involved, but it would likewise strike against the U.S. itself for giving this authorization — in other words, that this would effectively commence WW3. Ritter also revealed that WW3 would last for only 72 minutes — a remarkable statement, because the length of time that a WW3 would last is highly classified information; and Ritter’s allegation on that must therefore rely entirely upon his own personal authority regarding it. As to the extent of his credibility on this matter, I would place him second to only MIT’s Dr. Theodore Postol, who has said that the U.S. Government wants WW3 and expects to win it, though a WW3 would actually kill 5 billion people within the first two years after the explosions (and that information likewise is hidden from the public throughout the U.S. empire). On the day of the Trump-Harris debate, September 10th, I personally requested the debate’s chief moderator David Muir to ask both nominees “Might it be worth a preemptive blitz nuclear attack against Russia &/or China if that’s what’s needed in order for the U.S. to retain its position as the most powerful nation?” He didn’t respond, and the question was not asked. That question is not discussed within the U.S. empire; instead, it is simply hidden from the public.

Two Men Who, if Allowed, Could Decide Humanity’s Fate

We are on the eve of the possible final act of the tragicomedy that is Ukraine.

It could come at the end of the month during the general debate at the U.N. General Assembly when  the odd couple of the lame-duck and expired presidents of the U.S. and Ukraine could reveal to the world its fate.

On one side, there will be Joe Biden, who Robert Gates, a former C.I.A. head and secretary of defense in several Republican and Democratic administrations, once said: “He has been wrong on nearly every major issue during his political career.”

Next to him will be Volodymyr Zelensky, whose presidential term expired last May.

The former comedian was catapulted to the presidency by corrupt oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky, whom the U.S. State Department had previously accused of using his “political influence and power for personal benefit” and sanctioned him in March 2021 for his alleged involvement in “corrupt acts that undermined the rule of law and the Ukrainian public’s faith in their government’s democratic institutions and public processes.”

Let’s review what these two have done to bring humanity to the edge of the abyss, starting with the one whom his son has called the “Big Guy.”

After the end of the Cold War, every U.S. president, starting with Bill Clinton, contributed in one way or another to closing the short historical window of opportunity for integrating Russia into the West.

Many pragmatic or idealistic people in U.S. administrations, Congress, the  media, and in other public circles have been trying to promote this integration. Regrettably, they have been losing on the whole to more powerful forces, often in the Deep State, who, for political, economic, or ideological reasons, prefer to have Russia as foe rather than friend.

Zelenskyy Says Ukraine “Victory Plan” Includes Deep Strikes Into Russia With Western Missiles

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters in Kyiv on Sept. 20 that the “victory plan” he intends to present to the United States and other allies in the coming days involves “quick decisions” from Ukraine’s partners—and getting permission to use Western-supplied missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia.

Zelenskyy made the remarks at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday during a visit by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and additionally in a briefing to the Observer, per The Guardian.

As The Epoch Times’ Tom Ozimek reports, the Ukrainian president said at the presser alongside von der Leyen that he plans to meet with President Joe Biden in Washington on Sept. 26 and lay out his “victory plan,” details of which remain scant.

“All the details [of the plan] I will discuss first of all with the president of the United States,“ Zelenskyy said.

”Most of the decisions from the plan depend specifically on him. On other allies too, but there are certain points which depend on the goodwill and support of the United States. I hope he supports this plan.”

Zelenskyy added that success of the plan is “predicated upon quick decisions from our partners,” adding that key decisions on which the plan rests should be taken between October and December.

“We really want to see this, and we would then consider that the plan has worked,” he said.

In a separate briefing with the Observer in Kyiv on Friday, Zelenskyy said that the plan involved carrying out deep strikes inside Russia with the use of Western-supplied missiles, which the United States and the United Kingdom have so far refused to allow.

By allowing the use of U.S.-supplied missiles to carry out long-range strikes inside Russia, Biden would “earn a place in history,” Zelenskyy said.

“Biden can strengthen Ukraine and make important decisions for Ukraine to become stronger and to protect its independence while he is U.S. president,” he said.

“I think it is a historical mission.”
