The Oreshnik (Hazelnut Tree) Missile Makes Nukes Obsolete. Poisoning the World with Nukes Always Made Them a Terror Weapon. The Terror Will Now Escape Containment.

Matthew 24: 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

I remember the look on my Mother's face when she described to me the terror of nuclear weapons. It must have been in 1960; I was about 6 years old. We went on tours of the results of the brisk trade in neighborhood bomb shelters. I remember one that was 3 stories deep; you could see straight down the ladders.

What was the first terror weapon in the long history of warfare. It goes back too far; the chariot was a weapon you couldn't run away from.

The first use of terror against drafted soldiers could be considered, internment in the prisoner of war camps in the American Civil War, against men and boys who had been drafted largely as farmers, specifically in an arrangement designed to get their property, by taxmen and bankers, and Shanghai them into factory work.

The issue is that they hadn't been professional soldiers, like Hessians, they were farmers.

Another notable instance of using civilians as pawns in war, was in the Boer war, in which the wives of the wily Boer guerilla fighters who, as a ragtag army thoroughly beat the 100,000s of the British army. So they had to use the Boer wives as human shields, starving those identified as having husbands fighting in the insurgency, so that an estimated 24,000 died.

After their experience in World War I, a war planned for 45 years, designed to attack the previously friendly German nation which was commercially and technologically eclipsing the U.K. and its banks, the U.K. and the U.S. agreed to target civilians.

(The banks identified their profit as $10,000 per dead solider. "10,000 in 1919 is equivalent to approximately $186,732.95 today when adjusted for inflation. This calculation reflects an average inflation rate of about 2.80% per year". Hence, the U.K., French and German economies can continue to function in a condition of ruin, as long as their banks get profits from their armaments industries, paid for by their taxpayers.)

The British leadership bombed German cities of no military value for a long time before the German leadership finally responded, but against identifiably military targets, but accidentally providing the pretext for open bombing of civilians by missing a military-industrial area and hitting a civilian area.

Thus when the Dresden which had no military value was hit by the U.K. and U.S. on 13 February, 1945, when Germany was already on its knees, at a cost of an estimated 300,000 lives, it was on the pretext that "they voted for Hitler". This was despite the fact that there were many civilian refugees who were fleeing the Russians.

These are just a few fragmentary examples, generally of "man's inhumanity to man". The world-poisoning effect of nuclear terror weapons, wielded against Japan when the Japanese were begging to surrender and, as MacArthur later admitted, they just needed to keep their Emperor intact as a national unifying symbol, the real object of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were the Russians; who soon responded by ending the U.S. monopoly on The Super Weapon. Thus leading to our world with mutually-assured-destruction.

The rise of the Oreshnik, "Hazelnut Tree" hypersonic missile is not a good thing. It is merely an escalation, tightening up the pace of general, worldwide warfare one notch.

Strategically it means that we are now targets, who have been protected by oceans from the consequences of our Forever Wars in countries surrounded by some 800 of our military bases.

Previously undetectable ballistic missile submarines which are designed to lay low while enemy defenders search for them, are now being uncovered by satellite and drone overflights which can detect them, not by their sound signatures, but by magnetic anomalies.

Ballistic nuclear missile submarines, the Flash Gordon whiz-bang-ery of the Admiral Hyman G. Rickover era before 1960, are the obsolete aircraft carriers of the current age of warfare.

All the time we were over-extending ourselves keeping the world at bay in The Rules Based Order and being subjected to the hazards outgoing President Eisenhower warned about in his Military-Industrial Complex Speech, the rest of the world was busy looking for the cracks in our armor, even Iran which, from a night-time satellite photo is shown to be emitting hardly any light, even tiny Yemen, a country subjected to starvation after a decade of U.S. authorized Saudi bombardment, which is able to paralyze water-ways vital to world trade with a scrabbled-together missile arsenal.

U.S. civilians are riding the tiger of our military weapons "defense" industry, which only benefits a few Congressional districts and their representatives.

We can expect that, once the Russians have sustained large damage from the German, French and British armament industries and their bankers, our cities will be struck by Oreshniks: Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles.

Martha and The Vandellas - Nowhere To Run

Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
It's not love, I'm a running from,
It's the heartbreak I know will come.
'Cause I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me.
Ev'rywhere I go, your face I see, ev'ry step I take, you take with me yeah

Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no.
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep.
I wake up feelin' sorry I met you, hoping soon that I'll forget you.
When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from you baby,
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me,
How can I fight a lover, that shouldn't be, when it's so deep,
So deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high I can't get over it
It's so wide I can't get around it, no
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from you baby
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try to

I know you're no good for me, but free of you I'll never be,
Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide, got nowhere to run to baby.

Gosh. There goes my Nutella.

Hypersonic missiles can wreck entire factories. Consequently, human defense workers will be obsolete. Factories will be run by expendable robots.

Bull crap. This is Kremlin propaganda intended to intimidate the West as Putin plans to continue the carnage he started in Ukraine. The Oreshnik is an experimental system at best, with a track record of failure.

It does not say Las Vegas. I live in Las Vegas. So, no problem!

[Paul R.]

Even if the damn thing worked reliably, Oreshnik is not a cost effective system, used with conventional warheads. Pooty would get a lot more bang for his buck launching standard medium or long range ballistic missiles.

I always buy hazelnuts in the shell of course when I can. Some places call them filberts. I don’t get that. Love em so much I almost planted some trees. But Its just easier to buy them.

[Flag_This]

Ummmm…. the Germans used zeppelins to bomb civilian targets, in Britain, in WWI. They followed that with the bombing of Guernica, in Spain, in 1937. Then Warsaw, and then Rotterdam. Germany established the rules before the US even suited up. Oh! I forgot about the Prussians shelling Paris in 1871!

That hoary old argument has been debunked so many times here at Free Republic that I shan't even bother to provide links.

Reads like it was co written by a Marxist academic and a pallywood astroturfing jihadi doesn’t it ?

Drafting farmers to steal their land ?

Pfft.
Southerners joined up to the CSA to serve honour and duty .

The disrespect shown in that screed, camouflaged with a biblical first paragraph, is nothing short of disgusting, as was the bomb shelter fear porn and shiny wedges that followed, only deepened my disgust.

Who actually wrote that crap ?

[cuz1961]

Was it this Charles Oconnell ? https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-o-connell-2b4a5530 About Charlie O’Connell is a passionate and experienced fitness and healthcare executive * From the link: Liked by Charlie O’Connell https://www.linkedin.com/posts/cornell-scott---hill-health-corporation_as-hospitals-begin-to-cut-back-and-close-activity-7351637471635353600-WfqM “As hospitals begin to cut back and close, our entire healthcare system becomes more stretched and stretched. Doctors see even more patients. Nurses work longer shifts. Resources are stretched. Mistakes increase. The caseloads will increase when people have nowhere to go. It’s a challenge and a change; and doing what Michael has said, people are not going to be denied healthcare if they need it. That’s the commitment here.” We were honored to have Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro speak at our 400 Columbus Ave site about how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will impact access and affordability of healthcare for individuals and families in Connecticut and our shared commitment to continue providing compassionate care, accessible to all. / Gee, I hope It wasn't written by the same guy.

[Apparatchik]

Who actually wrote that crap ?

It wasn’t an American English speaker, that’s for sure.

” Thus when the Dresden. . .”

Inappropriate use of the definite article “the” is a dead giveaway for an Eastern European native, since Slavic languages do not have that construct. Same for overuse of capitalization (“Shanghai”, “my Mother…”).

My guess is this bozo is Russian, since his account was created at the height of the Euromaidan in December 2013, as Putin was gearing up to invade Ukraine and annex Crimea the following spring. The Russians always ramp up their filthy propaganda prior to launching a military operation.

This is what Google comes up with for the LinkedIn Chuckie

Appears to be an academic.

If this was written by the same guy, proves I can smell an academic a mile off.

I really hope it’s not the same guy, academic plus blue hair Mobocrat l liker are a really bad combo .

[mac_truck]

There are more than 10,000 people named Charles O'Connell living in the United States genius, not to mention the OP says the name a pseudonym.

Good effort though...😂

[The Duke]

"Even if the damn thing worked reliably, Oreshnik is not a cost effective system, used with conventional warheads."

The Oreshnik launches thus far served as an excellent real-world test and a demonstration of capability.

For those who say that any initial failures of the Oreshnik indicate that it is destined to the scrap heap, I would point to what many said about the Osprey aircraft when it initially had failures.

[cuz1961]

Thanks for the compliment, but I’m not a genius despite my above average honor roll grades in school .

“the OP says the name a pseudonym”

/

There is no link to an outside source, and the op mentions no pseudonym ,

which makes me wonder if you aren’t a urinalist , one who pees on another leg and calls it rain.

Do you know the original source , through personal knowledge ?.

If not, how do you know it’s not the same guy as the member who posted it.

And , as you can see so far, the freeper Charles hasn’t informed us if he’s the same Charles or not.

If he doesn’t deny being the same Charles, that will be rather telling

I truly hope it’s not, and that he just found something he agreed with and posted the thread .

Cuz academics who like blue haired mobocrats aren’t a very good fit for anyplace but the DU.

Good effort on your part also.
