đ¨ JUST IN: Russia warns it will destroy U.S. Tomahawk missiles and bomb their launchers if theyâre sent to Ukraine. đłđĽ
đĽ JUST IN: Russiaâs Devastating Ultimatum â Tomahawks to Ukraine? Prepare for Fire and Fury Moscow is tossing down the gauntlet. đ¨ In a brazen, high-stakes warning, a top Russian lawmaker declared that if the United States provides Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, Russia will shoot them down and bomb their launch sites â and wonât hesitate to âhurtâ those who enable the transfer. đĽ How Far Will This Go? ⢠Russia says its response will be âtough, ambiguous, measured, and asymmetrical.â ⢠The missiles, Russia claims, are well understood â deployed in Syria, already studied, trackable â so their intercept is within reach. ⢠Beyond Ukraine, Russia may even target the launchers wherever theyâre positioned: drones, missiles, and bombers may be used to destroy those platforms. đŻ The Risk Matrix Just Skyrocketed For Washington and Kyiv, the calculus just got brutal: ⢠Supplying long-range strike capability could shift battlefield dynamics â but at the risk of triggering direct retaliation from Russia. ⢠Russiaâs vow to retaliate not just at Ukraine but at platforms and supply chains draws NATO boundaries into the line of fire. ⢠Even U.S. logistics and transport hubs or staging areas in Europe might be in Russiaâs crosshairs if theyâre linked to the missile supply. ⢠And letâs not forget: once escalation has begun, turning back may be politically impossible. â ď¸ What Everyoneâs Watching Now 1. Will the U.S. go ahead with supplying Tomahawks? If so, how stealthily? 2. Will Russia follow through? Will the first Tomahawk be shot down â or ignite a new war front? 3. How will NATO react? Will allies be dragged into counterstrikes or diplomacy? 4. Could miscalculation spiral? The next week may define whether Ukraine is a proxy, or the frontline of something much larger.
