Today we narrowly avoided WWIII. A missile strike from Russia narrowly missed Zelenskyy and the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis landing 500 feet away.

If Germany and the United States were missing motivation before this strike, this strike should assemble the political and moral will to deliver Taurus and ATACMS missiles to Ukraine so they can destroy the Russian Forces in Crimea and drop the Kerch Strait Bridges into the Sea of Azov.

Russia is commiting War Crimes in Ukraine on a daily basis and Crimes against Humanity. How much rage would happen if this intentional strike were a direct hit? Would this bring NATO into the war and escalate the conflict? Wouldn’t it make more sense to end this war in the next few months before more lives are lost by forcing Russia to retreat from Crimea and changing the war narrative for Putin’s election?

Today we narrowly avoided WWIII. How was WWI started? The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. From this missile strike, it appears Putin wants to start a war with NATO. Don’t allow that escalation to happen.

Finishing off Russia in Ukraine is critical to ending this war. We have the technology, make it so.

WashPost:”KYIV — A Russian missile strike appeared to target Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, landing near his motorcade in the Black Sea port city of Odessa, where the president was meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Zelensky and members of the Greek delegation were not harmed, despite the missile landing some 500 feet away, Greek officials told the Protothema news outlet. The Ukrainian presidential office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Zelensky and Mitsotakis were visiting the Odessa port around 10:40 a.m. when air-raid sirens could be heard. The explosion then occurred within minutes.

“We witnessed the strike today,” Zelensky told reporters after. “You see who we’re dealing with; they don’t care where to hit. I know there were casualties today; I don’t know all the details yet, but I know there are casualties.”

Comment from Stephen Martin :

Sorry, that seems a bit alarmist. If someone enters a known war zone and then comes under fire directly or indirectly I don’t think that constitutes an automatic NATO response. I presume we would do everything to de-escalate the situation. Otherwise it would look like NATO was seeking a direct conflict. I also don’t think Putin wants a direct confrontation with NATO…he has been avoiding that. NATO is playing the long game and winning. Ukraine is weakening Russia on a daily basis whilst NATO is expanding and re-arming. NATO is far stronger today than it was when Russia invaded Ukraine. Every day that goes by, NATO gets stronger and Russia gets weaker. In fact, I bet Putin is hoping for a Trump victory as an opportunity to negotiate a way out of the conflict and save face.

You are entitled to your opinion.

I am raising the Alarm because Ukraine needs to win this war by November including taking back all of Ukraine including Crimea.

If Russia kills a Prime Minister of a NATO Nation and the President of Ukraine, I can guarantee NATO would respond. The issues of a “known war zone” as an excuse doesn’t hold water. Russia had intelligence that this event was in that location, otherwise we would have to believe Russia spent the cost of a missile for some random reason? I don’t buy it. They had someone onsite provide GPS coordinates. Otherwise both timing and strike location was pure chance. Chance doesn’t come from Putin, who doesn’t hesitate to use nerve agents on his enemies to send a message.

I think I am intentionally raising the Alarm because this war must end with Ukraine winning.
