In statements to Al-Arabiya today, Thursday, the White House reaffirmed that Washington will respond forcefully to any Russian threat to infrastructure, highlighting the potential of possible targeting of an incendiary American satellite.
At a time when Israel announced that Kiev would supply weaponry for the conflict in Ukraine, Russia has made an unprecedented threat against the United States.
Russian Foreign Ministry deputy director for nuclear proliferation and arms control Constantine Forentsov stated that if deployed in the crisis in Ukraine, American satellites would be considered appropriate targets for attack.
During the first committee meeting of the UN General Assembly, he continued, “We want to focus on a very dangerous direction that clearly evacuated the course of events in Ukraine; we are talking about the use of the United States and its allies, civil infrastructure components in space, including commercial, including- with armed conflicts.
He also said that “the semi -civilian infrastructure may become a legitimate target to strike, and as a result of the Western business, peaceful space activities and social and economic operations in the world are subject to unjustified risks. ”
In a related vein, Russia exercised its strategic nuclear forces yesterday under the president’s watchful eye to practise a “overwhelming” nuclear strike in the event of a nuclear attack.
These actions were taken during a heated discussion between Moscow, Kiev, and the West on what Moscow claims are Ukraine’s preparations to use a dirty bomb against the Russians.
White House: We will take decisive action against any Russian threat.
