Are you suggesting we employ F-16s to strike our own borders? Wouldn’t it be better just to seal the borders? You guys are nuts.

This is what the western globohomos have tried to provoke.

You can be pretty sure “duh” isn’t hyperventilating, FRiend.

Struggling? His best 600,000 troops have never entered this “war”. He has the land he wants (where Russians were being killed by Ukraine), that’s why he stopped with all that open land in front of him and built a 3-layer defense with millions of mines. Ukraine then foolishly counterattacked, lost a lot of men and equipment and got nowhwere. Which is why Nut-O and Bidet are looking for a way out now.

Either they aren't serious individuals or paid to post agitprop.

My thought as well, akin to the Israelis and Hamas. You allow people to attack another country from bases in your country, those bases become legitimate targets for the country which was attacked.

You’re very good at projecting. You must get a lot of practice.

Which is why the story is strictly for propaganda purposes. There isn’t going to be an attack launched from a NATO country. The story is all hyperbole.

My God, but you people are gullible.

“...will be a fair target ...”

How can anyone disagree?? There is more to the story. Would Russia want to risk beginning a new chapter in the war, that is, change a proxy NATO/US/Russia war into an actual one. And on the other side of the coin, is that in our best interest??

"Flying F-16s out of NATO countries to attack Russia is an act of war by NATO."

Yes it would be. And would not obligate other NATO countries to respond if those sites were attacked. But you can be sure there would be a full court press to convince people otherwise.
Personally I think its mostly bluster from the Russian ambassador, but then again, if you think about Trump pre-emptively calling out Leftist shananigans, best to call attention to the possibility.

NATO did manage to lose a twenty year war against a bunch of goat herders.

It’s typical Russian hyperbole, meant to excite its followers. There isn’t going to be any attack launched from a NATO country, UNLESS it is in response to a Russian attack on NATO.

Kremlin snuff box
https://t.me/s/kremlin_secrets

When will the NWO end and will there be a new war? Putin has three options for next year

Many opinion polls (both open ones, for example, a study by the Levada Center, and closed ones, the results of which are at our disposal) indicate that the question is increasingly relevant for Russians: when will the SVO end?

Vladimir Putin’s team is also seriously concerned about this problem. Perhaps Vladimir Vladimirovich will say something on this topic on the direct line on December 14. But the question is much broader, and the real answer will be the actions of the authorities and the army next year.

According to our sources in the Kremlin and among the military, three possible options for the President’s actions in the current situation are now being considered.

The First of them is to end the NWO, trying to enter into negotiations with Ukraine and the West as soon as possible. This option is attractive in the sense that Vladimir Vladimirovich can go to the polls in the guise of a peacemaker who has ended the bloodshed. But the risk of getting the image of a “loser” is also extremely high.

“To finish the SVO, you need victories. Winning is difficult. For example, it is unlikely that the military will be able to fulfill the President’s task and take control of the entire territory of the DPR by the end of the year (and forecasts for next year are contradictory).

“Vladimir Vladimirovich is preparing personnel decisions in this regard, but they are also unlikely to help. That’s why, frankly, I don’t believe in the speedy completion of the SVO and in negotiations,” an interlocutor close to Putin told us. He also does not believe that the fighting will end next year.

The Second option is to simply continue fighting, starving the enemy to death. “But our enemy is almost all NATO countries.

“In the coming weeks, as intelligence reports to us, the Americans will allocate many billions to the Kyiv regime, and then, lo and behold, these bastards will try to attack again. Therefore, this option is the most likely, but also the riskiest,” notes another Kremlin source.

His opinion was confirmed by our interlocutor at the General Staff. He hopes for mobilization, which will most likely be announced at the request of Valery Gerasimov after the elections.

In light of the intensification of hostilities and the fact that partial demobilization of the troops seems to be carried out, the recruitment of “300-400,000 into the army could become a factor in our victory, although not very quickly,” the military man claims.

The Third scenario is a new military conflict, including with NATO countries. The Kremlin is reluctant to talk about this scenario, but they admit that there is such a possibility.

We wrote that the President wants serious victories, including military ones, in connection with the spring elections (victories will suit him even after re-election, they do not necessarily have to happen before the vote).

We also reported that these victories could be “hidden” military operations in individual NATO countries, for example, in Latvia. But the stakes are rising. It is no coincidence that Maria Zakharova was given the task of publicly saying that the threat of our direct military clash with the alliance is growing.

“To be honest, we will try to prevent a direct collision. At the same time, operations on the territory of NATO countries are quite possible. I hope that these operations will be more successful than the SVO in Ukraine.

“And that our people will like them, removing all questions about why and for what Russia is fighting. There are risks, but the opportunity to win is much more important,” a Kremlin source noted in this regard.

Exactly.
