Russian elites are warning of a replay of the Cuban missile crisis
Bangor Daily News ^ | 7/11/22 | Gwynne Dyer

It was a piece of news so obscure and implausible that I missed it when it first surfaced last month. The news was that the Russians are going to put hypersonic nuclear missiles into Nicaragua and terrify the Americans into backing down over Ukraine. Or kill them all if they don’t.

“If American missile systems can nearly reach Moscow from Ukrainian territory, it’s time for Russia to roll out something powerful closer to the American ‘city on a hill,’” Olga Skabeyeva said on the news show on “Rossiya-1,” the most popular Russian TV channel.

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega published a decree last month authorizing small numbers of troops from Russia, the United States or other Central American countries to deploy to his country for a limited time “for purposes of training, law enforcement or emergency response.”

Russia doesn’t need Nicaragua to host nuclear missiles, and we don’t need Ukraine (or Europe for that matter).

Both the USA and Russia have nuclear equipped submarines only a few miles from each others shores. At this very minute, there is a Russian sub (in the Atlantic) pointing multiple nuke warheads at Washington DC and New York City. We have of course, similar capabilities targeting Moscow.

Quisling? You don’t even know the meaning of the word. I assume you’re EX MAGA, EX America First. Remember when you were America First? You didn’t want to see half a billion a day pissed away in some quagmire 6000 miles from home. You didn’t want the American military propping up corrupt oligarchical hell holes so the corrupt oligarchs in DC could pump billions out of them. Remember when he wasn’t YOUR big guy? Now you tote water for those same DC oligarchs. Assuming you once were MAGA and not always a Bushite hack, who’s the traitor? Have a nice day, Vidkun.

Have your caregiver increase the Thorazine by half every day until the senile agitation is under control.

How much warning would we get? Six minutes? Down from 40 minutes?
