Russian President Putin released a statement on Thursday following the escalating events this week in the war with Ukraine and NATO.

This came after Ukrainian and NATO forces launched long-range US and British missiles into Russia this week, just days after Joe Biden’s handlers approved of this maneuver.

The Biden regime and his handlers are determined to escalate this conflict into a global crisis just two weeks after President Trump won a decisive victory in the US presidential race.

Putin made the statement on Russian television after Russia launched a hypersonic ballistic attack on Ukraine on Thursday.

Putin said that six U.S.-manufactured ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles struck Bryansk on November 19, followed by a coordinated assault involving British Storm Shadow missiles and U.S.-made HIMARS systems on November 21.

In response, the Russian Armed Forces launched a combined strike on a Ukrainian defense industrial complex in Dnepropetrovsk on November 21.

Putin revealed that the attack included a combat test of a new hypersonic ballistic missile, the Oreshnik, capable of reaching speeds of Mach 10.

The Russian leader issued a stark warning to nations supporting Ukraine with military equipment, suggesting that any escalation could prompt retaliatory strikes on their military facilities.

Putin also criticized the United States for its withdrawal from the INF Treaty in 2019, blaming the move for destabilizing international security. He accused the U.S. of deploying advanced missile systems worldwide under the guise of military exercises, a development he called a grave error.

He emphasized that Russia would notify civilians and foreign nationals in targeted areas before conducting strikes, citing humanitarian concerns. However, he expressed confidence in the invincibility of Russia’s hypersonic missile systems, declaring, “There are no means of countering such weapons today.”

Here is Putin’s full speech via the official website of the President of the Russian Federation:

“I would like to inform the military personnel of the Russian Federation Armed Forces, citizens of our country, our friends across the globe, and those who persist in the illusion that a strategic defeat can be inflicted upon Russia, about the events taking place today in the zone of the special military operation, specifically following the attacks by Western long-range weapons against our territory.

The escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, instigated by the West, continues with the United States and its NATO allies previously announcing that they authorise the use of their long-range high-precision weapons for strikes inside the Russian Federation.

Experts are well aware, and the Russian side has repeatedly highlighted it, that the use of such weapons is not possible without the direct involvement of military experts from the manufacturing nations.

On November 19, six ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles produced by the United States, and on November 21, during a combined missile assault involving British Storm Shadow systems and HIMARS systems produced by the US, attacked military facilities inside the Russian Federation in the Bryansk and Kursk regions.

From that point onward, as we have repeatedly emphasised in prior communications, the regional conflict in Ukraine provoked by the West has assumed elements of a global nature. Our air defence systems successfully counteracted these incursions, preventing the enemy from achieving their apparent objectives.

The fire at the ammunition depot in the Bryansk Region, caused by the debris of ATACMS missiles, was extinguished without casualties or significant damage.

In the Kursk Region, the attack targeted one of the command posts of our group North. Regrettably, the attack and the subsequent air defence battle resulted in casualties, both fatalities and injuries, among the perimeter security units and servicing staff.

However, the command and operational staff of the control centre suffered no casualties and continues to manage effectively the operations of our forces to eliminate and push enemy units out of the Kursk Region.

I wish to underscore once again that the use by the enemy of such weapons cannot affect the course of combat operations in the special military operation zone. Our forces are making successful advances along the entire line of contact, and all objectives we have set will be accomplished.

In response to the deployment of American and British long-range weapons, on November 21, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a combined strike on a facility within Ukraine’s defence industrial complex.

In field conditions, we also carried out tests of one of Russia’s latest medium-range missile systems – in this case, carrying a non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile that our engineers named Oreshnik.

The tests were successful, achieving the intended objective of the launch. In the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, one of the largest and most famous industrial complexes from the Soviet Union era, which continues to produce missiles and other armaments, was hit.

We are developing intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in response to US plans to produce and deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

We believe that the United States made a mistake by unilaterally destroying the INF Treaty in 2019 under far-fetched pretext.

Today, the United States is not only producing such equipment, but, as we can see, it has worked out ways to deploy its advanced missile systems to different regions of the world, including Europe, during training exercises for its troops. Moreover, in the course of these exercises, they are conducting training for using them.

As a reminder, Russia has voluntarily and unilaterally committed not to deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles until US weapons of this kind appear in any region of the world.

To reiterate, we are conducting combat tests of the Oreshnik missile system in response to NATO’s aggressive actions against Russia. Our decision on further deployment of intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles will depend on the actions of the United States and its satellites.

We will determine the targets during further tests of our advanced missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation.

We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow to use their weapons against our facilities, and in case of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in mirror-like manner.

I recommend that the ruling elites of the countries that are hatching plans to use their military contingents against Russia seriously consider this.

It goes without saying that when choosing, if necessary and as a retaliatory measure, targets to be hit by systems such as Oreshnik on Ukrainian territory, we will in advance suggest that civilians and citizens of friendly countries residing in those areas leave danger zones.

We will do so for humanitarian reasons, openly and publicly, without fear of counter-moves coming from the enemy, who will also be receiving this information.

Why without fear? Because there are no means of countering such weapons today. Missiles attack targets at a speed of Mach 10, which is 2.5 to 3 kilometres per second.

Air defence systems currently available in the world and missile defence systems being created by the Americans in Europe cannot intercept such missiles. It is impossible.

I would like to emphasise once again that it was not Russia, but the United States that destroyed the international security system and, by continuing to fight, cling to its hegemony, they are pushing the whole world into a global conflict.

We have always preferred and are ready now to resolve all disputes by peaceful means. But we are also ready for any turn of events.

If anyone still doubts this, make no mistake: there will always be a response.”

Brazil’s socialist regime has indicted former president Jair Bolsonaro on trumped-up political charges aimed at destroying the country’s conservative movement.

After a two-year-long investigation, federal police confirmed on Thursday that they had submitted a 700-page indictment against Bolsonaro and 35 of his allies over what they called a coordinated attempt to “violently dismantle the constitutional state.”

The police said in a statement that they had “found the existence of a criminal organization that acted in a coordinated manner in 2022 in an attempt to keep the then president of the republic in power.”

The charges will now be reviewed by the Supreme Court and its Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who was previously responsible for banning the X platform across the country of 200 million people.

Bolsonaro responded to the charges in a post on the X platform. He wrote:

•Jair Bolsonaro spoke out after being indicted by the Federal Police (PF) for alleged involvement in planning a coup d’état following Lula’s victory in 2022. In a phone conversation with the Paulo Cappelli column, the former president focused his criticism on Minister Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing the case in the Supreme Federal Court (STF).

•“Minister Alexandre de Moraes conducts the entire investigation, adjusts testimonies, detains without charges, engages in evidence fishing, and has a very creative advisory team. He does everything the law doesn’t permit,” criticized Bolsonaro.

•“We need to see what’s in this PF indictment. I’ll wait for the lawyer. This will obviously go to the Attorney General’s Office. The fight begins at the PGR. I can’t expect anything from a team that uses creativity to indict me,” the former president concluded.

•Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others were indicted by the Federal Police on Thursday (11/21) for alleged involvement in planning a coup d’état. On Wednesday, the PF conducted an operation that arrested six military personnel accused of planning the assassination of President Lula and Minister Alexandre de Moraes.

•The PF revealed that one of the military personnel approached the vicinity of Moraes’ house with the intent of arresting the magistrate.

•Bolsonaro’s reference to the term “creativity” is an allusion to a message from Airton Vieira, a judge advisor in Moraes’ office, to Eduardo Tagliaferro, who was then head of the Special Advisory Office for Combating Disinformation at the Superior Electoral Court.

•“Use your creativity lol,” wrote Vieira in response to Tagliaferro’s difficulty in formalizing a complaint against the magazine Oeste.

Such political persecution against a former president is eerily similar to the one that took place in the United States against Donald Trump and his supporters, including the raiding of his home.

And, as reported extensively by The Gateway Pundit at the time, Brazil’s 2022 presidential election was similarly marred by evidence of widespread voter fraud and the use of voting machines to hand victory to the socialist candidate Lula Inacio da Silva.

HOW IT’S DONE: Over 3 Million Brazilians Protest Election Fraud – Bolsonaro to Annul the Steal!

Since being turfed out of office in 2023, Bolsonaro has already been subject to vicious political attacks.

Last year, he was banned from running for political office for eight years after arguing, claiming that electronic ballots used in the election were vulnerable to hacking and manipulation. He is currently seeking to overturn that ruling.

While the future may remain uncertain for Bolsonaro, it is clear that his political movement is as strong as ever.

With fresh presidential elections scheduled for 2026, conservatives in America and around the world should do all they can to show solidarity with the Brazilian people.

Craig Shirley, a writer who penned a well-known biography of former President Ronald Reagan is now planning to write a new book focused on Donald Trump’s amazing political comeback in 2024.

This is not the first time that Trump has been compared to Reagan.

Trump’s win two weeks ago has already been compared to Reagan’s landslide win in 1984. The situation in the country back then was even similar, with massive inflation, high gas prices and problems in the Middle East.

The New York Post reports:

Ronald Reagan biographer to pen ‘Comeback’ book on Donald Trump’s stunning political revival

Craig Shirley, conservative-minded author who has written biographies of Ronald Reagan and tomes about World War II, is penning a book about President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning political revival: “Comeback,” The Post has learned.

“I’m going to go back four years to the end of the 2020 campaign and detail his revival and comeback,” Shirley, who was also a history consultant on the 2024 film “Reagan,” about the former president.

“I’m going to try to explain how and why he won, something the elites didn’t grasp,” Shirley told The Post of Trump.

Only a positive book can be written on the merits about Trump’s historic political revival — not a negative screed, he said.

“My books were favorable to Reagan because the facts were favorable to Reagan. This book will be favorable to Trump because the facts are favorable to Trump,” Shirley, 68, said.

Lee Greenwood, the man behind the song ‘God Bless the USA,’ recently spoke to Dinesh D’Souza about the similarities between Reagan and Trump, drawing one major contrast on wars. Watch:

Trump will certainly be a historic president. He already is, in fact. He is the first American president since Grover Cleveland who will serve two non-consecutive terms.

Byron York of the Washington Examiner appeared on FOX News on Thursday night and predicted that Pam Bondi, Trump’s new choice for attorney general, will be confirmed ‘pretty easily.’

He went so far as to suggest that unless she has committed a double-murder that no one knows about, this will be a simple confirmation process.

As the former AG for the state of Florida, Bondi has already been vetted fairly extensively.

Watch York’s comments below:

Others have praised the choice of Bondi as well.

Roll Call reports:

“Well done, Mr. President. Picking Pam Bondi for Attorney General is a grand slam, touchdown, hole in one, ace, hat trick, slam dunk, Olympic gold medal pick,” Graham posted. “She will be confirmed quickly because she deserves to be confirmed quickly.”

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, a member of the Judiciary Committee, offered Bondi congratulations on social media. “I look forward to supporting her nomination in the Senate,” Lee said.

Bondi, a Florida native, was the first woman to serve as the state’s chief legal officer and held the role from 2011 to 2019, according to her biography on Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm.

That bio said Bondi “was one of Florida’s most accomplished Attorneys General” and she “earned a reputation among her colleagues as one of the toughest law enforcement officials in the country.”

Democrats will likely try to attack Bondi for one reason or another, but it is not going to work. She is well prepared for this role and has the resume to prove it.
