As reported on this site earlier today, the President of Poland publicly proposed the forcible break-up of Russia into "200 ethnic states." He did this in Switzerland in front of 78 other countries attending the "Peace Conference" for Ukraine. So that's 78 countries against Russia . . . i.e. "world war."

This idea of breaking-up Russia was first proposed by Gunther Fehlinger, Chairman of the Austria NATO non-governmental organization (NGO) of Austria, in April of 2023 (Original Story Here). His idea called for breaking-up Russia into 41 separate countries, and he was traveling here in the United States at the time (Hudson Institute in Manhattan) to push his idea. He even created a "map" showing how he envisioned Russia being broken apart. [Image to the right]

At the time, I thought his idea was so ridiculous as to be laughable. Now, I see it has gained official traction, with the President of Poland formally proposing to 78 other nations at the ongoing Switzerland "peace conference" that Russia be divided not into 41 countries, but into 200 ethnic countries. Gunther Fehlinger's idea has not only gained traction, it has gotten far worse!

NATO head Jens Stoltenberg tipped the Alliance's hand today when he told media that the F-16's being given to Ukraine by the West, "Can be used to hit targets outside of Ukraine." Read: inside Russia.

Now, the F-16 is a terrific war plane but it is NOT Stealthy. It "can" be tracked by radar and it "can" be hit by surface-to-air missiles. Russia's air defense capabilities are second to none, especially with their S-400 and still un-used S-500. So the F-16's are not likely to last very long once they are placed in service of Ukraine.

One big unknown here is which missiles those F-16's will be equipped with. They can handle long-range air-to-ground missiles, some of which have a range "in excess" of 500 miles; which would put Moscow itself within striking distance of those planes.

Another even bigger "unknown" is where those F-16's will takeoff and land? The air fields inside Ukraine are beaten to a pulp by Russia. None of them - to my knowledge - is capable of handling the re-fueling, re-arming, and maintenance of those F-16 jets. So the big question seems to remain, WHERE will those jets takeoff and land?

Russia has made it publicly clear that if those jets takeoff from a NATO base, and attack Russians, then the planes AND THE BASE THEY TAKEOFF FROM will be "mercilessly destroyed." That right there opens the door to a NATO member country being able to say "We have been attacked" and invoke the NATO Collective Self Defense Treaty, Article 5. [Well, no. Not if NATO attacks first, directly from a base outside Ukraine. This would be Russia defending herself. – Editor]

Russia has ALSO made it publicly clear that they know NATO conventional forces are SUPERIOR to Russian conventional forces. They publicly admitted this. But Russia then ALSO said "We are a nuclear power. And our nuclear capability is superior to NATO. If Article 5, Collective Self-Defense is invoked against Russia, it will be a war that no one will win." Those are the EXACT words they spoke. Well, as most readers know, there is only ONE type of war that "no one will win" — a nuclear war.
