On Tuesday’s episode of Human Events Daily, Jack Posobiec hosted Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer to talk about the recent report that Ukraine struck Russian territory with US-provided long-range missiles after the Biden-Harris administration gave Kyiv the green light to do so.
Shaffer made a point to say that the decision did not come from sitting President Joe Biden, but from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan “attempting to box President Trump into having to deal with an expanded war.”
He continued: “That’s what’s going on. This is about expansion, not giving the Ukrainians leverage. This is about potentially moving us towards World War Three. That’s what the neocons want. That’s what they’ve always wanted.”
“Ultimately, they thought they were going to continue this into a Kamala Harris administration. Well, they can’t so this is their last shot,” Shaffer stated. He pointed out that the Kremlin revised its nuclear strike policy to lower the threshold for a nuclear response to an attack, adding that Russia could very well strike within its own territory to take out the invading Ukrainians or in Ukraine itself.
“So we’re about to find out how much poke and the bear in the eye is going to benefit anybody. But I see this as an attempt to get Trump boxed in, so he has to maintain the war no matter what, that’s what I think is really going on,” he said.
