Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is obviously fine with Ukraine possibly pushing us into World War III by using US weapons on Russian soil.

Recently, the Ukrainians have tried to turn the tables on Russia by attacking, capturing and occupying land in the Kursk region. It is the first time since the beginning of the conflict that Ukrainian forces have reached Russia proper. This is also the first time since World War II that a foreign army has invaded Russian territory and has the very real possibility of escalating the war, entering the US and NATO.

Ukraine has lost thousands of soldiers, but with the US and NATO behind it, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has evidently decided it's time to return the favor by attacking Russia. Many believe that there is no way to win this move unless, of course, the US and NATO join the fight.

Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan interviewed Kelly and asked if he was comfortable with Ukraine using US weapons on Russian soil. He flatly insisted he was fine with that, without commenting on the fact that Russian President Vladimir Putin is sure to see it as American involvement in the conflict.

The Arizona Democrat's reasoning is that Putin “unlawfully attacked” Ukraine. He went on to accuse the Russian leader of killing women and children and thus justifying the use of American weapons on Russian soil. He tried to soften this brazen claim by saying that the Ukrainians do not intend to hold onto Russian territory for long. First, unless other forces intervene, they will not be able to. Second, Kelly's rhetoric could light the fuse of a bracelet that could ignite a world conflict. It is extremely irresponsible and dangerous.

“About Ukraine. I know you are very focused on this war. Their forces launched this bold incursion into western Russia, in this area of ​​Kursk. You are comfortable with using American weapons on Russian soil Brennan asked.

“Well, Margaret. Yes. You know, I'm at this point. Ukrainians were attacked illegally by Vladimir Putin. He's intentionally killing women, children, old people. It was an illegal invasion, this raid. For now let's put it this way. I don't think the Ukrainians want to intentionally hold onto Russian territory for a long period of time, but this really brought Putin back on his heels,” Kelly said, making it clear he has no idea what's going on. exactly

“He has always tried to portray himself as someone who will protect Russia. I think his citizens are seeing, the results of what he has done in Ukraine that they are now somewhat at risk. 130,000 Russians have had to leave their homes. And in this point of this conflict, I think the Ukrainians did something unpredictable that could really change the course of how this complex will develop,” the Democrat added.

The way it could play out is war breaking out across the planet. Kelly severely underestimates the limits Putin will take to war and has no idea how brutal it is.

Unfortunately, if things continue as they are, we may all find out the hard way that Russia, China and Iran can easily be provoked into a world war where millions of people could die. Kelly and the Democrats are poking the Russian bear and they may be going big.

even politician you get an idea of ​​how explosive this all is:

At the time of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, there were fears that if Ukraine and its allies expanded the war into Russian territory, a regional or global conflict would break out. The war, however, has been largely at a standstill, at least until Ukrainian forces crossed into Russian territory in the Kursk region.

It looks like that stalemate may be over.

And history tends to repeat itself: “Kursk was the site of a massive tank battle between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany in the summer of 1943; the Soviet victory there put the Germans virtually in permanent retreat on the Eastern Front of World War II. In August 2023, Putin commemorated that victory by calling that battle “forever one of the peaks of the great feats of our people.”

The past is prologue.

It should also be noted that Kelly started the Chinese-funded spy balloon company according to Fox News. National security does not seem to be his forte.
