MOSCOW, June 24 (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Monday directly blamed the United States for an attack on Crimea with U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles that killed at least four people and injured 151, and Moscow formally warned the U.S. ambassador that retaliation would follow.
The war in Ukraine has triggered the biggest confrontation between Russia and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, and Russian officials have said that the conflict is entering the most dangerous escalatory phase to date.

Just remember, if you don’t want your tax dollars used to blow up innocent people around the world you are a Putin puppet.

Maybe if Anthony Blinken plays guitar for the folks in Crimea it will all be okay.

The ONLY reason we are in Ukraine is to sell things which make the MIC and politicians rich.

For as much as I dislike Trump, the one thing I give him credit for is keeping us out of foreign conflicts. Everyone was trying to drag him into Syria and he said no. Everyone is trying to drag us into a shooting war with Russia. I think Trump could keep us out.

Nah, that isn't the only reason... The MIC is a big part of it but the money laundering was going on in Ukraine before Putin invaded...

What options for retaliation do they have? A direct response to NATO or the US would be disproportionate.

Do they assist the many jihadist groups in the middle east with targeting packages, intel?

Or, directly target Ukraine senior leadership and dare the west to react.

Either way, I would say it's clear that the intended targets were Russian military assets in Sevastopol, near the beach. However, that's the danger we created by providing UKR with ATACMS and HIMARS. They knew damn well that this could escalate, and here we are.

I can see them doing this. A direct attack? Definitely not.

If Biden gets re-elected no doubt this thing keeps spiraling into boots on the ground from western nations. Must manufacture global conflict for the MIC

Trump will have this solved within 6 months. Give him a map and a board room with representation from both sides and they can come up with a new border.
