RUSSIA has warned that the UK and the US would be directly at war with it and experience a 'direct, appropriate ... comprehensive response' if the two Western allies give the go signal for Ukraine to use the long-range missiles supplied to them to strike deep in the federation.

The UK and some media in the US are not paying heed to this Russian response. It should be noted that these were the same UK and US advisers, led by the 'neocons' who favor military conflicts, who had pushed since 2008 to ignore the warnings of Russia not to let Ukraine into NATO. These same advisers ignored the warning — even after Russia led a 'special military operation' or SMO into Ukraine after the West broke its promise not to enlarge NATO and not allow the membership of over a dozen countries.
