US State Department and Biden-Harris regime desperately trying to ignite WWIII before election

The final and most serious of Moscow’s “red lines” was crossed this week after the United States decided to “allow” Ukraine to use the weapons it and other Western nations donated to strike targets deep within Russian territory.
Washington’s plan, according to Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Tex.) as cited by Axios journalist Juliegrace Brufke, is to lift all restrictions on Kiev’s use of U.S.-provided ATACMs (Army Tactical Missile System). President Biden has confirmed that Washington is “working that out now.”
Pretty much all the other major Western nations are in agreement that crossing Vladimir Putin’s infamous red lines is both “permissible” and reasonable in light of all the deep state assets and criminal schemes, i.e., human trafficking, that are protected by Ukraine’s very existence under Volodymyr Zelensky.
Up until now, the West has merely been sending Ukraine the weapons and letting Zelensky do with them as he wishes, just so long as he does not use them to strike deep within Russian territory. This changed after Zelensky threw a hissy fit and demanded that he be allowed to use all of his new toys where Putin told him not to.
“So far, the United States has given Kiev about $200 billion or more in both funding and military equipment and weapons,” reports SHTFplan.com about these latest developments.
“Kiev has been clamoring for the restrictions against using long-range missiles as long-range missiles to be lifted since May. That also begs the question; was the U.S. always going to ‘allow’ Ukraine to cross Russia’s red lines? Because Washington did give kiev [sic] the long-range weaponry, so why would they ban them from using it indefinitely?”

Has the final red line been crossed?
Putin orders Russian army to become second largest after China’s at 1.5 million-strong

President Vladimir Putin on Monday ordered the regular size of the Russian army to be increased by 180,000 troops to 1.5 million active servicemen in a move that would make it the second largest in the world after China’s.
In a decree published on the Kremlin’s website, Putin ordered the overall size of the armed forces to be increased to 2.38 million people, of which he said 1.5 million should be active servicemen.
According to data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), a leading military think tank, such an increase would see Russia leapfrog the United States and India in terms of the number of active combat soldiers it has at its disposal and be second only to China in size. The IISS said Beijing has just over 2 million active duty service personnel.
The move, the third time Putin has expanded the army’s ranks since sending his military into Ukraine in February 2022, comes as Russian forces push forward in eastern Ukraine on parts of a vast 1,000 km (627-mile) frontline and try to eject Ukrainian forces from Russia’s Kursk region.
Although Russia has a population more than three times larger than Ukraine’s and has been successfully recruiting volunteers on lucrative contracts to fight in Ukraine, it has – like Kyiv’s forces – been sustaining heavy battlefield losses, and there is no sign of the war ending anytime soon.
Both sides say the exact size of their losses is a military secret.
Andrei Kartapolov, chairman of Russia’s lower house of parliament’s defence committee, said the increase in active troop numbers was part of a plan to overhaul the armed forces and gradually increase their size to match what he described as the current international situation and the behaviour of “our former foreign partners.”
“For example, we now need to form new structures and military units to ensure security in the north-west (of Russia) since Finland, with which we border, has joined the NATO bloc,” Kartapolov told Parlamentskaya Gazeta, the Russian parliament’s in-house newspaper.
“And in order to carry out this process, we need to increase the number of troops.”
THIRD INCREASE SINCE 2022
Putin since 2022 had previously ordered two official increases in the number of combat troops – by 137,000 and 170,000 respectively.
