#Russia hit #Ukraine during the night with the #Oreshnik missile. This is a warning to #NATO as we rush up the escalation ladder. In May 2024, NATO attacked Russia's strategic nuclear early-warning radar; in June 2025, NATO attacked Russia's nuclear bombers as a key part of its deterrent; in December 2025, the CIA participated in the attack on Russia's nuclear command centre at Putin's residence. None of these targets have anything to do with the proxy war in Ukraine, but are test attacks on Russia's nuclear retaliatory capabilities. We are getting very close to a direct war, and the Oreshniks are immensely powerful and cannot be stopped. Arguments that Russia deserves these attacks, or claims that Ukraine is conducting these attacks independently, are completely pointless and deceptive; moral posturing and war propaganda will not protect anyone if they provoke a retaliatory strike.
