(Stay confessed. We have not been this close to nuclear war since 1963, yet somehow this story can hardly be found in the MSM. Also note, there has not been a statement nor a document from the Biden Regime announcing the approval of these missile launches… all we have is a Sunday afternoon news leak from two unnamed “sources.”-nvp)
MOSCOW, Nov 19 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike in response to a broader range of conventional attacks, and Moscow said Ukraine had struck deep inside Russia with U.S.-made ATACMS missiles. Putin approved the change days after two U.S. officials and a source familiar with the decision said on Sunday that U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration allowed Ukraine to use U.S.-made weapons to strike deep into Russia.
Russia had been warning the West for months that if Washington allowed Ukraine to fire U.S., British and French missiles deep into Russia, Moscow would consider those NATO members to be directly involved in the war in Ukraine. The updated Russian nuclear doctrine, establishing a framework for conditions under which Putin could order a strike from the world’s biggest nuclear arsenal, was approved by him on Tuesday, according to a published decree.
Analysts said the biggest change was that Russia could consider a nuclear strike in response to a conventional attack on Russia or its ally Belarus that “created a critical threat to their sovereignty and (or) their territorial integrity”.
The previous doctrine, contained in a 2020 decree, said Russia may use nuclear weapons in case of a nuclear attack by an enemy or a conventional attack that threatened the existence of the state.
The doctrine said any attack by a non-nuclear power supported by a nuclear power would be considered a joint attack, and that any attack by one member of a military bloc would be considered an attack by the entire alliance, it said.
Russia’s defence ministry said Ukraine had struck Russia’s Bryansk region with six missiles, and that air defence systems intercepted five and damaged one.
If only Russia had been consecrated to Mary’s Immaculate Heart, not only would the USSR not have infected the world with communism, the US wouldn’t be starting WW3. But alas, it’s too late.
I note there were 3 pre Vatican 2 popes who refused to do this, as Mary and Jesus told them to do. In case you’re feeling like lionizing them and bashing the Vatican 2 Era. All the popes have failed.
2 Catholic popes and 5 Conciliar popes. The request was made formal in 1929, after Benedict XV, and during Pius XI. Pius XII, it is rumored, was planning on doing it when he made public the 3rd Secret in 1960, but he never made it to 1960.
It is said, rightly or otherwise, that the Vatican Masons poisoned him, over numerous years, to make sure he did not see 1960. They knew PXII would have released the Third Secret.
I hope Putin will not retaliate over an ammunition dump. In your charity, please pray for the safe return of my wife and brother-in-law who are presently in Europe. Thank you.
May God have mercy on us!
Putin has the patience of job. Would the US tolerate a military alliance designed to defeat the US sitting on its border? And Putin has been putting up with this for 25 years.
And after he told the US in 2006 that Ukraine and Georgia were red lines we still didn’t care.
Ffs the US came up with the Monroe Doctrine saying that any foreign country intervening in the western hemisphere will not he tolerated.
So would we accept it? No.
Indeed when the Soviets were trying to put missiles in Cuba we almost went to nuclear war over it
This isn’t an ammo dump. These are American missiles, missiles that kill, being fired by US soldiers and operators and controlled by US satellite.
That’s direct confrontation.
We are the baddies.
These democrats are going to get us killed, and how magnificently EVIL to smile and welcome Trump “back” to the White House, then lob missiles into russia to try to throw Trump into WW3 as biden slithers out the door. These people care NOTHING about American lives and certainly not Russian lives. Well guess what, we do, and frankly I have more confidence in Putins awareness of these conniving Marxists and how they operate. Please God, protect innocent lives, amen.
Trump is the reason why there are missiles in Ukraine. He was the first president to deliver weapons to Ukraine, Javelins, in 2019. And recently when the Republicans in the House protested more money and aid for Ukraine, DONALD TRUMP advised Speaker Johnson to join Democrats and get the Ukraine/Israel military aid bills passed.
And as I keep saying and everyone wants to forget, Donald Trump is directly responsible for the poisoning of 80-90 percent of all Americans with the Covid 19 “vaccine”. He authorized it, and still defends it.
Donald Trump doesn’t care about US lives. If he did he wouldn’t have delivered weapons to Ukraine, wouldn’t have gotten Ukraine military aid passed, wouldn’t have attacked his own citizens with a biological WMD.
Pray that someone with power fnd a constitutional excuse to get Biden out and inaugurate Trump now, and be enabled by God to pull it off. Waiting two more months is insane when a dementia patient is in there.
Yes. I know Putin has shown great restraint. I also know we are not blameless. I was under the impression that an ammo dump was targeted. In any event, it sounds if the Russians successfully repelled the attack.
I am not ignorant of history, Mike. I know the U.S. is at fault. My greatest concern is that souls may be saved.
I am also very worried about my wife and brother-in-law. Your prayers for their protection would be appreciated.
Pray for Our Lord’s intervention. He is our only hope.
I’m on Russia’s side 1000 percent.
We know from Fatima that Russia has a future in God’s graces. In the meantime, the part of the prophecy about Russia being an instrument of chastisement looks like it’s about to come true. Is anyone surprised?
Under Putin, the Russian government has been restoring and rebuilding churches that were closed or demolished during communism. Marriages are up in Russia and abortions are down. LGBTWXYZ stuff is not tolerated by the state, nor the public in Russia. The Orthodox Church is getting more and more aligned with the Russian government. Sadly, the U.S. and the countries of NATO have cultures that are running in the opposite direction. Now which side do we think God is more pleased with?
Yes, definitely stay confessed and pray like you’ve never prayed before. The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart WILL happen and I hope and pray we’ll all live to see it happen.
