The Russians are feverishly preparing to fight a nuclear war, but our leaders continue to insist that nuclear war is not a threat because the Russians would never use their nuclear weapons against us no matter how much we may provoke them. In fact, I was just reading an article on the official NATO website that was authored by a former U.S. defense official in which he openly admitted that he is assuming “that the war in Ukraine will end without Russian nuclear use”. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin continues to make public statements about nuking America. This week, he told the entire world that there will be “no chance of survival” once he launches his nuclear missiles at us…
President Vladimir Putin has threatened the West with total nuclear destruction leaving ‘no chance of survival’ in the event of a strike on Russia.
In a ranting anti-US speech, the dictator said his powerful ‘Satan-2’ and ‘Flying Chernobyl’ missiles are ready for deployment in an ominous doomsday warning.
Putin told a conference in Sochi: ‘From the moment the launch of missiles is detected, no matter where it comes from – from any point of the world ocean or from any territory – such a number, so many hundreds of our missiles appear in the air in a retaliatory strike that there is no chance of survival there will be no single enemy left, and in several directions at once.’
I don’t know why our leaders are not taking such statements seriously.
If the Russians feel backed into a corner, they will not hesitate to use their most powerful weapons. As I have repeatedly warned my readers, we do not have the ability to intercept and destroy Russian nuclear missiles.
Once the Russians launch their missiles, they will hit their targets.
And now the Sarmat is ready. It is the most advanced intercontinental missile in the entire world by a very wide margin, and Putin says that the Sarmat will be put on combat duty “in the near future”…
He also claimed: ‘We have actually finished work on Sarmat [Satan-2] on the super-heavy missile…’
This ‘unstoppable’ 15,880mph Armageddon intercontinental missile system is the size of a 14-storey tower block.
‘We just need to finish some of the procedures in a purely administrative and bureaucratic way and move on to mass production and putting them on combat duty,’ Putin said.
‘And we will do this in the near future.’
Meanwhile, hopelessly outdated Minuteman missiles that went into service in the 1970s still form the backbone of our strategic nuclear arsenal.
The S-500 anti-missile system that the Russians possess was specifically designed “for intercepting and destroying intercontinental ballistic missiles”, and it could handle Minuteman missiles with relative ease.
But just in case some get through, the Russians have been spending enormous amounts of money to upgrade thousands of bomb shelters…
Bomb shelters across Russia are undergoing systematic inspections and repairs following a Kremlin order to upgrade the country’s crumbling Soviet-era infrastructure, according to current and former officials who spoke to The Moscow Times.
Many of Russia’s thousands of bunkers, reinforced cellars and other safe hideouts have been mothballed for decades. But as the war in Ukraine drags on, local authorities appear to be spending hundreds of millions of rubles to again make them fit for habitation.
“A decision to inspect the network of bomb shelters was made by the government in the spring,” said one Russian official, citing knowledge of government meetings that have taken place on the subject.
And this week in Russia there was a nationwide drill meant to prepare the general population for a potential nuclear attack…
SIRENS blared out across Russia today and children donned gas masks as part of a terrifying drill for an incoming nuclear attack.
The eerie siren could be heard across the country and chilling messages were broadcast live as Putin forced his citizens to endure a WW3 drill.
Chilling footage even shows schoolchildren being taught how to correctly don gas masks.
Sirens and loudspeakers were sounded in all regions across Russia’s 11 time zones in drills that spawned two days.
They are practicing because they believe that something like this could actually happen.
At the same time, our leaders continue to assure us that there is no risk of a full-blown nuclear conflict. So who is right and who is wrong?
If we were smart, we would try to end the war in Ukraine before things get out of hand.
The much-hyped Ukrainian “counter-offensive” has been a dismal failure, and now a top NATO official is admitting that Europe is literally running out of weapons to send to Ukraine…
The head of NATO’s Military Committee is urging the alliance to increase arms production, warning the “bottom of the barrel” of NATO’s stockpiles is now visible due to the massive amounts of weapons and ammunition that have been shipped to Ukraine.
Dutch Adm. Rob Bauer made the comments on the first day of the Warsaw Security Forum. He said NATO military budgets increased before the Russian invasion but that the Western arms industry did not increase production capacity.
“And that has led to higher prices already before the war. And that actually has (been) exacerbated by the fact that we now give away weapon systems to Ukraine, which is great, and ammunition, but not from full warehouses,” Bauer said, according to TVP World.
“We started to give away from half-full or lower warehouses in Europe and therefore the bottom of the barrel is now visible. And we need the industry to ramp up production at a much higher tempo and we need large volumes,” he added.
Here in the United States, the chaos in Congress could mean much less military aid for Ukraine in the months ahead.
When she was asked about this, one Ukrainian official admitted that this would be “a disaster” for them…
Days after lawmakers shelved a vital U.S. plan to send billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv, U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted by his own Republican Party colleagues. Aid to Ukraine was named as one of the reasons.
In Kyiv, officials are at a loss as to what might happen next. Their staunchest military ally suddenly looks unreliable, despite assurances from President Biden and others the U.S. will remain steadfast until Ukraine’s invaders are defeated.
“We are freaking out. For us it is a disaster,” said Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, a senior Ukrainian MP who chairs the committee on the country’s integration with the European Union. “We are interested in getting things sorted out so American democracy can function, and so we can restore the bipartisan consensus on supporting their own national interest by supporting Ukraine.”
Of course there should be no “bipartisan consensus” because at this point most Americans are against sending Ukraine more weapons…
The share of Americans across the political spectrum who support sending arms to Ukraine has dropped, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey released Thursday.
The poll, conducted Tuesday and Wednesday, showed only 41 percent of respondents said they agreed that the United States should provide weapons to Ukraine, down from 65 percent of respondents who said the same in a June 2023 survey.
Meanwhile, military spending in Russia is scheduled to dramatically increase next year, and 50,000 new recruits signed up to fight for Russia in the month of September alone.
From a simply strategic viewpoint, it would make sense to try to get some sort of a ceasefire before the Russians start grabbing significant chunks of territory again. But the Biden administration will never go for that.

Joe Biden has said over and over again that we will be involved in the war in Ukraine “for as long as it takes”. And every day that this war continues, there is more of a chance that someone will push things a bit too far and nukes will start flying.
Before I end this article, there is one more thing that I wanted to share with you.
According to a shocking new survey that was just released, more than 71 percent of Americans “have no faith in the U.S. government to save them or prevent a doomsday event”…
According to a survey of 6,200 Americans conducted by BonusFinder.com, 71.2 percent of Americans say they have no faith in the U.S. government to save them or prevent a doomsday event. Even more unnerving, many respondents believe Doomsday could come within the next year.
I was surprised to see such a high number. But I think that it accurately reflects what so many people are feeling right now.
The Biden administration really does have us on a highway to disaster, and they have no intention of changing course.
Unfortunately for all of us, if a nuclear war between the United States and Russia does erupt, it will mean the end of our society and billions of people could end up dead.
This is off one of our coasts all the time.
We cannot detect it underwater but we catch it surfacing now and then.
Russia has been preparing for war with us for ten years.
The torpedoes from this sub are unable to be detected by anything we have.
There is, in fact, a very good chance that Russia could obliterate the entire east coast before we had a chance to respond.
There is also, imo, a good chance that the Chinese balloon drifting over Montana has gotten enough info for Russia that they can disarm it with hacking.
When I was in Russia I met a ten yr old boy whose English was so perfect at first I thought he was Anerican.
He was choosing a third language to learn.
We are graduating entire classes of kids who cannot read or do math.
We are going to lose this war. Count on it.
“The second role is one of nuclear strike and deterrence. For this she will be armed with six ‘2м39′ Poseidon torpedoes. These are a whole new category of weapon not fielded by any another navy. They have been described as ‘Intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedoes’. At over 20 meters (65 feet) long they are in effect they are giant underwater drones with practically unlimited range and a nuclear warhead. And their expected performance (around 70 knots and 1,000 meters depth) mean that they cannot be countered with existing weapons
More doom porn by Michael Snyder. Snyder must wear diapers all day for the amount of doom he peddles.
That said - there are some issues to consider, such as frequency of the rhetoric, any changes in how Putin articulates the threat, etc.
Russia is putting cobalt in their nuclear warheads. He's correct that nothing will live in this country after they nuke us.
Problem is, there will be enough radioactive cobalt all over the planet to ensure that all life will be eradicated on land, perhaps not the oceans.
There will be no day after. There will be no new Hiroshima or Nagasaki out of the ashes and beautiful today.
I don't think people are paying attention to the technology that will be deployed.
I was in Moscow living with Russians on his first election day.
People were very excited.
“The Constitution of the Russian Federation specifies that the President is the Russian head of state, setting domestic and foreign policy and representing Russia both within the country and internationally [Article 80].[6] While the original constitution stipulated a four-year term and a maximum of two terms in succession, the current constitution decrees a six-year term. The four-year term was in effect while Vladimir Putin served his first and second terms; with the two-term limit, he was barred from the presidency in 2008. Instead, he served as Prime Minister while Dmitry Medvedev served as president for four years. Putin was re-elected to his third term in 2012; with the six-year term, he was elected to his fourth term in 2018. Article 81 specifies the method of election, including a secret ballot; Articles 82–93 detail powers, responsibilities, and limitations of the presidency. The constitution provides for a “strong presidency”; not only is the president the “Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation”,[7] the president also has the power to dissolve the State Duma.[8]”

It dismays me that so many freepers don’t look for information so easily found, but instead regurgitate CNN or other low IQ talking points.
Speaks not highly of our country.
Nukes in warehouses don’t count.
The totality of numbers for any country (in order, Russia, USA, China, France, UK, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea (Iran???)) for all nuclear weapons are not the numbers available to go to war on a moment’s notice.
The warheads currently in missiles—silos, truck carriers or submarines, in cruise missiles, and bombs in aircraft bomb bays—right now—is what will matter. In other words, are they in delivery systems that can launch/take off right now?
The known warehouses (these are well known through intelligence and technical means) will be vaporized with the first strikes of any country.
And the leadership of each country will be high-value targets, too. Intelligence on all sides keep track of their location every minute. When we see Putin head for his bunker, NORAD will activate a higher DEFCON and SAC (meaning Strategic Command, now without the “Air”) will make ready as best they can.
This equally applies to Biden, Xi, Macron, Sunak, Haq Kakar, Modi, Netanyahu and Kim. Each adversary tracks their opponent’s leadership.
Hey look at the shiny ball over there in Ukraine/Russia and ignore the Biden boot on your face.
Everything is fine here, the borders are secure, the queers just want to be left alone, the drug cartels are not in your neighborhood, crime is low, there is no inflation, interest rates are low, no deficit, the economy is great, no one is forcing you to get the COVID jab, no joke. Russia, Russia, Russia. /spit
You rock. Thank you.
I have said this a few times.
Not true at all. your link says no such thing. The Russians say so, but we do not give away our secrets and our detection methods.
I would expect her sinking the moment the balloon goes up. The USN Second Fleet was actually reestablished because of her.
No one wins a nuclear war. To think so is folly.
Pray for peace.
No thanks.
Feeding those who are to lazy to lift a spoon to their own mouth is just another form of welfare.
And as the saying goes...

Nothing says “love your neighbor as yourself” like unleashing thermonuclear war upon them and the world.
He treats Ukraine like a jealous ex-husband treats his ex-wife. He doesn’t like her new friends and the insufferable gasturd just won’t let her move on and have her own life without him.
Forgive him, Lord. He knows not what he does.
Yeah Vlad. Have another vodka while your army is getting it’s ass kicked by Ukraine.
—> When YOU claim to know more than the pig, then, it’s your duty to train the pig, … enlighten us with your superior intelligence and superior knowledge. If not, get the ‘f” off the internet.
You’re a very angry “pig”
Confirms my choice.
Will that climate change thingy finally be over?
Who told you Russia is a poor country?
The same people who told you Trump is a racist?

Where is the UK? 😂😂😂
Russia is building Lada plants in Africa and
other countries. I had to mention because I truly
love Ladas. So far, Ethiopia, UAE, and Oman.
Russia has a GDP higher than France and Germany.
On Russian and Asian forums, they post videos of blocks and blocks of homeless in tents, the black water coming from faucets in Jackson, Mi and more.
They are completely amazed that we care so little for our own people.
Russia is not a poor country.
We are a poor country.
Germany and France are becoming poor countries.
If we avoid WW3, Russia will be among the very top wealthiest countries in the world.
By then, we will be a third world country.
We are heading that direction now....drop in lifespan, infant mortality, etc.
“The United States may regard itself as a “leader of the free world,” but an index of development released in July 2022 places the country much farther down the list.
In its global rankings, the United Nations Office of Sustainable Development dropped the U.S. to 41st worldwide, down from its previous ranking of 32nd. Under this methodology – an expansive model of 17 categories, or “goals,” many of them focused on the environment and equity – the U.S. ranks between Cuba and Bulgaria. Both are widely regarded as developing countries.
The U.S. is also now considered a “flawed democracy,” according to The Economist’s democracy index.”
Ha ha. Enjoy. We are making plans to expat.
I will try to remember to keep in touch with you.
Should have pinged you to my post above....136.
1. China ($31.559 billion)
2. US ($23.149 billion)
3. India ($15.875billion)
4. Japan ($5.675 billion)
5. Russia ($5.510 billion)
Also note that 3 of the 4 countries above Russia have FAR BIGGER populations than Russia (or Ruzzia, for you Biden-policy supporters), and Japan only a slightly lower population.
Kind of a bummer that the Neocons are so OBSESSED with Russia that they never bothered to notice China overtaking us, or give a damn about it.
Yep, I “failed the pig challenge”!
