DISINFO: The US Deep State decided to allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory

SUMMARY

The decision to allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory, with missiles supplied by the US, puts an end to the fiction of the war between Russia and Ukraine. If this was previously a proxy war, it has now become an all-out war between NATO and Russia, with the direct use of NATO forces and specialists on the ground. It is no mystery that behind this decision is not Biden, but the US Deep State, which at all costs pushed for a continuation of the war and planned to present the new Trump administration with a fait accompli before it took office.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory, not backed by evidence, aiming to promote several recurring pro-Kremlin narratives about secret elites and the US Deep State. The 'Deep State' narrative seeks to question the legitimacy of democracy and Western institutions in the US. It promotes the view that US presidents and other public officials are just window-dressing, whereas decision-making lies in the hands of another group of people.

It also contains a recurring disinformation narrative claiming that the war in Ukraine is a NATO war against Russia. This disinformation narrative aims to deflect Russia’s responsibility for its unprovoked military aggression.

Ukraine is not fighting on behalf of any foreign government or organisation. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically elected president and parliament. The country's sovereignty has been violated only as a result of continuous acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces since 2014, culminating with a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine starting on 24 February 2022.

The US, the EU and NATO condemn, in the strongest possible terms, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is entirely unjustified and unprovoked. Not only Western but also many other nations around the world support Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, in accordance with the UN Charter article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.

On November 17 2024, US President Joe Biden lifted the ban on Ukraine using long-range missiles to fire into Russian territory by permitting them to be used against Russian and North Korean forces in the Kursk region.

The US president will allow Ukraine to use US-made Atacms rockets, which have a range of 190 miles (300km) – a decision being justified by the presence of North Korean troops fighting alongside Russia against Ukraine.

Though there was no public comment from the White House, the story first appeared in coordinated briefings to the New York Times, the Washington Post and the news agencies Reuters and Associated Press.

Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, appeared to confirm the news, though he said any proof about the change in policy would emerge on the battlefield, if and when the missiles are used.

Read similar cases claiming that the US will fight Russia until the last Ukrainian, that Russia is at war with NATO and the Pentagon and only the soldiers are Ukrainians, that EU, US, and NATO use Ukrainians as cannon fodder, that the US proxy war against Russia has turned Ukraine into a graveyard, that the US exploits Ukraine against Russia, that the conflict in Ukraine is a Western proxy war against Russia, that The real power in the US is wielded by the Deep State and that Deep State kept Biden in power for war with Russia, then dumped him.
