Just last week, we wrote about the war brewing in the Luhansk & Donetsk region of Ukraine. It all started on March 24 when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a declaration of war against Russia in a document you won’t find in the mainstream media.
According to the document posted on the Ukrainian government website, which is translated into English, the new decree establishes the “de-occupation and reintegration of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.”
While we’re been fed with what our corporate media overlords want us to hear, Russian forces are moving near Ukraine’s borders in what could lead to World War 3. The military tension between the two countries has escalated in the last week as Ukraine attempts to retake back Crimea from Russia. In the last month, Russia has moved some 4,000 troops to Crimea and the border region with Ukraine, which has resulted in threats and counter-threats between Moscow and Kiev.
Now, Russian is warning the United States and NATO not to send any Western forces into Ukraine as it would trigger a severe reaction. Russia warned the West against deploying troops to Ukraine, saying such a move would escalate tensions nears its borders, amid renewed fears over the region’s long-simmering conflict.
Unlike smaller countries where the United States can just go and invade, a war with Russia is not going to be a walk in the park. Russia has more nuclear weapons than any other nation in the world. According to Reuters, Russia has 6,375 nuclear weapons followed by the United States at 5,800. In addition, Russia President knows that he’s not liked by the West, he would do everything possible to defends his country.
According to the military analysis site Defence Blog, the Russian ministry “described the drill as a “massive inspection”, to check combat readiness on the territory of all military districts and the Northern Fleet, in the Far North, on the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka.”
Meanwhile, as the Russian military build-up increases near eastern Ukraine, the United States pledged that it will stand by Ukraine in the event of any Russian “aggression.” With the American military stretched too thin, we should beware of what wish for as Russia is ready for war.
