For a few days now, we have been hearing about the ‘permission’ given by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to use ATACAMS missiles on Russian territory, almost as if the issue was permission to strike Russian territory, which is actually a non-issue, since Russian territory has been struck regularly for more than a year, mainly with drones. The patience of the Russians is well known and few people in the West realise that it may be coming to an end.

With each ludicrously diabolical move, Israel’s security and military services are proving that they will broaden the conflict ignited when Hamas breached the country’s vaunted security defences on October 7.
