But we are also extremely fortunate that this attack did not spark a nuclear war. If our (U.S.) nuclear bombers at Minot Air Force Base, Barksdale Air Force Base, and Whiteman Air Force Base were hit in a surprise attack, would we show similar restraint?<\/p>\n<p>We are literally closer to nuclear war right now than we have ever been in all of human history, and those that are foolishly celebrating Ukraine\u2019s recklessness don\u2019t seem to have any idea. Striking Russia\u2019s strategic nuclear assets is a really, really, really bad idea. Now Vladimir Putin will feel compelled to respond very forcefully, and the Ukrainians are very much counting on that, in order to drag the E.U. and the entire world deeper into their fight.<\/p>\n<p>The following are 7 hard questions that everyone should be asking about the \u201cPearl Harbor\u201d attack on Russia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Does anyone actually believe that Ukraine was able to pull this off without any outside help?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It seems doubtful that the Ukrainians could have planned, organized and pulled off an operation of this magnitude without any western assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently the drones that were used in the attack <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/06\/02\/world-news\/how-ukraine-pulled-off-its-stunning-pearl-harbor-attack-against-russia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">were hidden inside the roofs of wooden sheds<\/a> which were driven to their locations by truck drivers that had no idea what their trucks were carrying:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Ukraine was able to carry out its stunning Operation Spider Web attack on Russian air bases and nuclear fleet by hiding explosives-laden drones in wooden sheds, according to officials.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Kyiv\u2019s secret service (SBU) stashed the attack drones inside the roofs of the sheds, which were loaded onto trucks that were driven to the perimeter of the air bases, Ukrainian authorities revealed in a statement shared on virtual communication networks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The roof panels were then lifted off by a remotely activated device so the 117 drones used in the strikes could fly out and make their devastating attacks.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That is a brilliant plan. Perhaps the Ukrainians came up with it themselves. But how did they get the precise coordinates of the targets that they were going to hit?<\/p>\n<p>And how were the drones guided to those precise coordinates?<\/p>\n<p>We definitely need some answers, but I don\u2019t think we are going to get them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Other than the Ukrainians, who knew about this attack in advance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainians and the Trump administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/06\/01\/ukraine-drone-strikes-russia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">are both telling us<\/a> that President Trump did not know about this attack in advance:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Ukraine did not notify the Trump administration of the attack in advance, a Ukrainian official said. A U.S. official also told reporters the Trump administration was not made aware of the attack.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I do think that there is a very good chance that President Trump had no idea this attack was coming.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, even if he did know in advance that the attack was going to occur, officials would still deny it in order to protect him. For the moment, let\u2019s assume that Trump knew nothing.<\/p>\n<p>But what about everyone else? What about the U.S. and western E.U. countries\u2019 intelligence services?<\/p>\n<p>Are we supposed to believe that nobody else knew anything about a major operation that the Ukrainians had been working on for a year and a half?<\/p>\n<p>Somebody knew something, and we need to know when they knew it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-199800 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ukr-drone-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ukr-drone-2.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ukr-drone-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ukr-drone-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ukr-drone-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ukr-drone-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ukr-drone-2-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Why were Russian bombers just sitting out in the open?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having extremely expensive bombers just sitting out in the open seems like a really foolish act.<\/p>\n<p>But the truth is that there is <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ricwe123\/status\/1929436737773637828\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a very good reason<\/a> why nuclear bombers are kept out in the open where everyone can see them:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>For decades, treaties kept nukes in check, bombers had to be out in the open, silos sealed, so nobody could pull off a surprise strike.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It was the thin line stopping World War III.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Zelensky shattered it all in one move. He threw out the rules, erased decades of stability, and threw us straight back into Cold War chaos.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Anyone who helped make this occur isn\u2019t just reckless, they\u2019re a danger to the entire planet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And people are actually celebrating this? Completely insane.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. How much damage was actually done?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainians are claiming that more than 40 aircraft were hit during the attack and a total of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kyivpost.com\/post\/53749\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">approximately 7 billion dollars<\/a> in damage was done:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Ukraine\u2019s Security Service (SBU) has officially confirmed it carried out a major drone strike against Russian military airfields, damaging or destroying what it claims is 34 percent of Russia\u2019s strategic cruise missile carriers, in a long-planned covert operation codenamed Spider Web.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The SBU said the strikes, which targeted airfields housing Russia\u2019s long-range bombers, resulted in an estimated $7 billion in damage \u2013 a figure that has not yet been independently verified.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Seven billion US dollars. This is the estimated cost of the enemy\u2019s strategic aviation, which was hit today as a result of a special operation by the SBU \u2013 Spider Web,\u2019 the agency said in a statement released Sunday, June 1.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But other sources are claiming that the damage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pravda.com.ua\/eng\/news\/2025\/06\/2\/7515170\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was far less extensive<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Judging by the images, four Tu-22M3 bombers and three Tu-95MS bombers were likely destroyed during the operation. In addition, one Tu-95MS was probably damaged.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What everyone can agree on is that Russian strategic nuclear bombers were hit, and this could have easily sparked a nuclear war.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. The Ukrainians know that Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons if their strategic nuclear assets are attacked. So why would Ukraine risk this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Scott Ritter <a href=\"https:\/\/scottritter.substack.com\/p\/playing-with-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has aptly pointed out<\/a>, the Russians recently updated their nuclear doctrine to specifically address the kind of attack that just occurred:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>In 2024 Vladimir Putin ordered Russia\u2019s nuclear doctrine to be updated to consider the complicated geopolitical realities that had emerged from the ongoing Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine, where the conflict had morphed into a proxy war between the collective west (NATO and the U.S.) and Russia.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The new doctrine declared that nuclear weapons would be authorized for use in case of an \u2018aggression against the Russian Federation and (or) its allies by any non-nuclear state with the participation or support of a nuclear state is considered as their joint attack.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Russia\u2019s nuclear arsenal would also come into play in the event of \u2018actions by an adversary affecting elements of critically important state or military infrastructure of the Russian Federation, the disablement of which would disrupt response actions by nuclear forces\u2019<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the Russians showed restraint and did not use nukes so far.<\/p>\n<p>But do we really want to bet the continued existence of the humanity on the ability of Vladimir Putin to show restraint?<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. How will the Russians respond?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many in the Russian media are openly discussing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/world\/2063299\/putin-strike-ukraine-nuclear-weapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the possibility of using nuclear weapons<\/a> in response to this attack:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Russian papers and military bloggers are discussing the prospect of Russia using nuclear weapons to strike Ukraine after Kyiv launched brutal strikes on Vladimir Putin\u2019s airbases. The country is reeling after Ukrainian drones are reported to have destroyed more than \u00a35 billion worth of strategic bombers in what some pro-Kremlin commentators have described as Russia\u2019s \u2018Pearl Harbour\u2019.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-199803\" src=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ukr-drone-attack-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ukr-drone-attack-3.jpg 596w, https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ukr-drone-attack-3-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, it seems that Vladimir Putin isn\u2019t going to use nukes at this stage. But everyone agrees that he will strike back really hard.<\/p>\n<p>Will he use his new Oreshnik missiles against Ukraine? Will Ukrainian cities and civilian population be targeted?<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it probably won\u2019t be too long before we find out what Putin intends to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Why would the Ukrainians conduct such an attack if they knew that the Russians would strike back really hard?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many have pointed out that the \u201cPearl Harbor\u201d attack came just prior to the peace talks in Istanbul.<\/p>\n<p>If Ukraine really wanted to give those talks a chance to succeed, they wouldn\u2019t have launched such an attack right before they started.<\/p>\n<p>But this attack wasn\u2019t really about the peace talks at all. When the Ukrainians first started planning this operation, they had no idea that these peace talks would occur.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the primary goal of this operation was not to derail peace talks. Rather, the primary goal of this operation was to provoke a Russian response so large that it will force NATO to openly join the war.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainians understand that the only way that they can win this war is to get NATO involved.<\/p>\n<p>That is why they invaded Kursk, that is why they tried to shoot down Putin\u2019s helicopter, and that is why they attacked Russia\u2019s strategic nuclear bombers.<\/p>\n<p>They need the Russians to do something so dramatic that it will finally drag NATO openly and directly into the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, once we (the U.S. and NATO) are directly at war with Russia, we will be just one tiny step away from the unthinkable.<\/p>\n<p>So I really hope that President Trump can see through the charade and understand what is really going on.<\/p>\n<p>There is going to be so much pressure on him during the days ahead, and ultimately he will be the one that decides which way the events will go.<\/p>\n<p><em>Author: Michael Snyder<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>\nJune 3, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a world where deception is running rampant, it is so important to question the narratives that we are being fed.
