While President Trump is trying to extricate the United States from the lost war in Ukraine, the Deep State is making a desperate bid to thrust America into a direct military confrontation with Russia:
“Disabling one bridge could shatter Russia’s war machine (and It’s not the Kerch) … there is another bridge that is even more militarily, economically, and politically essential to the Kremlin: the Trans-Siberian Railway Bridge in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, which connects the European and Asian parts of the Russian Federation. The bridge’s destruction would have major geopolitical consequences. Though Ukraine’s options to target it are limited, the country’s military and intelligence planners have proven their creativity with successes like Operation Spiderweb – and there is no doubt Kyiv is aware of the bridge’s importance. The United States and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization members should therefore give greater consideration to enabling an operation to destroy or disable this bridge in Krasnoyarsk to deal a major geopolitical blow to Vladimir Putin… The US and its allies could covertly transfer certain defense technologies or equipment and provide intelligence on the bridge and its surrounding area. An operation to destroy the bridge would still have just a low-to-mid probability of success. But the potential impact is extremely high, making it a worthwhile mission for the United States and Ukraine’s European partners to support”[*].
Putting aside the inherently absurd claim that “disabling one bridge could shatter Russia’s war machine” – a notion whose folly is obvious – a more critical point emerges. Now, should an assault be launched against a bridge in Krasnoyarsk, the Russian side will know with certainty who exactly planned and enabled this operation.
And that would constitute an act of war, an attack by the United States on Russia.
Putin ought to extend his personal gratitude to the Hudson Institute.
