A strike by Ukrainian forces on a Russian air-defense missile battery inside Russian territory was likely carried out using a U.S.-made weapons system, a leading American think-tank said Tuesday.
The attack on the Russian S-300/400 battery north of Belogorod city about 25 miles from the Ukraine border over the weekend was probably conducted with a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, the Institute for the Study of War said in a post on X. The Washington-based non-profit research group said the strike picked up on geolocation images of two destroyed launchers and a damaged air defense command post in a field near Kiselyovo village "was likely with HIMARS."

WW-III has begun, and I honestly can't even blame the Russians. This is sick and evil Western "leaders" who have put everything into Ukraine, when Ukraine wasn't even a NATO member. We owed Ukraine nothing, and this should have just been a regional conflict.
I do feel sorry for the innocent Ukrainian citizens who have watched their men and country infrastructure being killed and destroyed, when their "leaders" should have been willing to go to the table and work out some sort of way to stop this. But the Ukrainian "leaders" were getting way too rich off of this, and all it has become is a war of attrition. Well, that is what it was until Ukraine decided to start lobbing NATO weapons into Russia. Now it is about to be WW-III.
Please God, help Donald Trump to be elected in November so all this insanity can stop as we get a real leader of the free world again!!!!!

Dear Vladimir Putin:
We are not in favor of this. In fact, the majority American public is horrified at what our country has done in the Ukraine. We understand your anger at this obvious step on our part toward WW3, but please remember this madness comes from an illegitimate administration and we’re more sorry than we could ever say that we have been unable to right this wrong. It has cost you, us and the world dearly. Our only hope now is that if you do decide to retaliate, please limit your wrath to Washington DC.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
We The People

Zero, working through his puppet the HairSniffer, walking us down the road into WWIII.
Biden had the reputation, during his what -36 years?- in the Senate, of being wrong on every foreign policy issue with which he came into contact.
And here he is, putting us ALL in mortal danger.
For what? Some possible miniscule political gain?
Back when the Soviet Union collapsed, all the NATO leaders promised the Russians that "NATO will not expand ONE INCH eastward."
They should have honored that promise.
Instead, NATO has expanded throughout Europe, and there is talk of adding Ukraine, which Russia has said, over and over, is an ABSOLUTE RED LINE.
I hear snippets.... the fools running some of the European countries are 'talking tough', like they WANT a war with Russia. How Stupid, how Foolish can they be?
How would WE react if Russia were to place missiles into Mexico, or on islands in the Caribbean? Ukraine is a lot closer to Moscow than Mexico or the Caribbean islands are to Washington DC.
Time for New Leadership here in the USA.... smarter, more realistic.

Been noted by others that these high tech weapons are not programmed by the Bandera's. They will depress the launch button.
