So this is basically them throwing a tantrum because Trump won the elections. I'm sure the Russians know that but what worries me is how effective these missiles are - if they are effective and can cause damage deep inside Russia, then I fully expect a robust Russian response... perhaps hitting military sites in other countries in Eastern Europe.
If the missiles are ineffective then nothing significant will happen.
In any case, I think something crazy will happen to try and disrupt the Trump inauguration and presidency.

Based on what I've read, they're not that effective. ATACMS have been used throughout the SMO in Ukraine, with hundreds of launches against Russian targets, and Russian Air Defense was capable of handling about 90% of them in 2024. The ATACMS missile is no Iskander.
Even the announcement is basically a NATO declaration of war on Russia, tho, based on what Putin said previously. And even one ATACMS getting through and causing damage in Moscow for instance would be a significant provocation, and would likely lead the Russians to target NATOs Intelligence/Surveillance/Reconnaissance infrastructure, or even targeting sites in Europe. I don't know if they'd go so far as to target sites in the US.
It's all pretty crazy! The Russians have been very careful to slowly grind away the NATO forces in Ukraine so far. That may change with this ATACMS announcement, based on Putin's warnings about responding to long-range missiles - he has also said that when a fight is clearly going to happen, it's best to punch first. So who knows at this point.

I am a non person living in the centre of the monetary news blackout : The City is broke and can't be fixed.
In fact the entire financial system of the West , which is in unaccountable hands that insure profits out of wars, and have done so for hundreds of years, when broke like they are today, are left with only war so that they can continue profiting . Today the vast majority of so called humans think that is all a joke.
Well...
" A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown. came out to warn the public but they thought it was a joke.
He repeated the warning but the applause was even greater.
I think that's just how our world will come to an end : To general applause from those who believe it's all a joke ." [ Soren Kirkegaard }
You and I are living in a destruction that is fully orchestrated.
The heart of man is desperately wicked.
Today the senile in the White House , in obedience to the bankers , has unleashed the dogs of war.
What a difference a day makes.
