After British "Storm Shadow" and French "SCALP-EG" Missiles Strike Russia, "Response against London and Paris imminent"
MAY 18, 2024
In mid and late April, Ukrainian SU-27 "Flanker" aircraft fired missiles into Russia. The missile debris was retrieved by Russia and forensic exam revealed they were AASM-250 "Hammer" from France and AGM-88 from the U.S.
Over the past few months, other missile attacks into Russia from Ukraine were forensically analyzed by Russia and, at various locations, the missile were determined to be either French SCALP-EG cruise missiles, or British "STORM SHADOW" cruise missiles.
Russia has repeatedly warned the United States, Britain, and France - all of whom are supplying weapons to Ukraine -- that such weaponry cannot be used to attack inside Russia. Those warnings have apparently been ignored.
Earlier this week, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council (Their version of a Senate) said, in a media interview: "Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles are not controlled by the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but by the British and French who arrived in Ukraine."
He went on to add:
"That is why the response to such actions will not be long in coming, and the target will not only be Kiev, but also London and Paris."
MY TAKE
IT IS MY SINCERE HOPE THAT MOSCOW WILL NOT HIT LONDON AND PARIS.PUTIN HAS HOWEVER REPEATEDLY SAID THAT "TO THINK FOR EVEN ONE SECOND THAT A NATION WILL NOT DEFEND ITSELF WHEN ITS EXISTENCE IS THREATENED IS ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY."
NOW,WILL RUSSIA DEFEND ITSELY IN VIEW OF THIS OBVIOUS THREAT TO ITS EXISTENCE?LET'S KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED.
NATO Article 5 provides that if a NATO ally is the victim of an armed attack, each and every other member of the Alliance will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions it deems necessary to assist the Ally attacked.Will NATO invoke this article in case Russia attacks London and Paris,let us wait and see.If however that indeed happens,I strongly believe that will be the beginning of WWIII,something which the US and NATO have been seeking for all this time.
