Greetings,
This latest move by Russia comes just on NATO pushing their puppets in Kiev to forego the Non-align status of Ukraine in a push towards joining NATO. Some in the higher up leadership in the Kremlin pushed for this to happen under the guise of new testing. They want to convey a strong disapproval of Western designs on Ukraine.
They had come to the conclusion that talking to their Western partners has reached a dead end and that NATO under America’s lead is ignoring and even dismissing Russia’s national security concerns. Therefore instead of talking in Brussels or going before the cameras of the Western world, they decide to send one of the strongest messages that could be sent to the West.
Without any public bluster it was done. Without any consultations with Western leaders it was done. Without saying a word they said more than you could think of!
