Reports are flooding the media claiming that President Donald Trump has “Authorized” Ukraine to engage in long-range missile and drone strikes, deep inside Russia.<\/p>\n
The Constitution for the United States does not empower the US Federal Government to “authorize” any other government to attack a third country – so where this power stems from, to “authorize” Ukraine to do . . .\u00a0 anything\u00a0 . . . to a third country . . .\u00a0 is a mystery.\u00a0 \u00a0The US Constitution also does not authorize the US Government to wage a “proxy war” using a second country (Ukraine) to attack a third country (Russia).\u00a0 \u00a0But that is precisely what they’ve been doing for more than three years.<\/p>\n
Ukraine’s non-President, Volodymyr Zelensky, whose term of Office EXPIRED last May, is also asking President Trump to authorize the sale of US “Tomahawk” Cruise Missiles, for Ukraine to use against targets deep inside Russia.\u00a0 \u00a0Conflicting reports say either Trump refused the request or, say he is “considering” the request.<\/p>\n
Both the launching of “Deep” strikes into Russia, and providing long-range missiles, guided by US Military Satellites, to carry-out such long-range strikes, are “Red Lines” for the Russians.\u00a0 Crossing those Red Lines would LIKELY see Russia declare the US as a “Party to the conflict” thereby opening the door for Russia to begins striking targets here, inside the USA.<\/p>\n
Russia’s logic is flawless: If the US provides the weapons, and US Satellites in space are needed to guide those weapons to targets inside Russia, then it doesn’t matter who actually pushes the launch button (i.e. Ukraine), it is the US<\/em> guiding those missiles to target – actively –\u00a0and that makes the US a “party” to the conflict.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35793\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
