Intelligence chief warns US of consequences of long-term aggression against Russia

MOSCOW, October 24. /TASS/. US elites continue to believe that they can pursue aggression against Russia as long as they want, this short-sighted conviction is teeming with utterly dangerous consequences, Chairman of the Russian Historical Society and Foreign Intelligence Service Director Sergey Naryshkin said on Monday.

"Today, American elites continue to believe that they can wage aggression against our country for as long as they want, throwing the lives of thousands and thousands of Ukrainian citizens and mercenaries into the bonfire of hostilities. Such short-sighted conviction is awash with utterly dangerous consequences," he said at the opening of the historical-documentary exhibition ‘The Cuban Missile Crisis. 60 Years Later’ at the Central Armed Forces Museum, "The anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis and many of the documents on display at this remarkable exhibition also warn of this," he pointed out.

Naryshkin noted that exactly 60 years ago, right during the days of October, the world was one step away from a full-scale nuclear conflict. "I recall that by 1962 the US had deployed missiles with nuclear warheads on Turkish territory, which, of course, posed the threat of a potential conflict with our country. In turn, the Soviet Union, seeking to reliably secure the friendly people of Cuba from the aggressive plans of the United States, placed its missiles on the island," he said, "For Washington, it is one thing to surround Soviet territory with its military bases and quite another thing to suddenly discover Soviet missiles near the US coastline. The reaction of American political elites, who had long convinced themselves of this [their] exceptionalism, was painful, nerve-racking and harsh.

Lots of propaganda about the innocence of the Soviets but lots of truth as well. I post this to illustrate the different mind sets in Moscow and DC. This article, this Cuban Missile Crisis display, both are meant for internal consumption. This is how the Russians are preparing their citizens for what’s to come next. In DC, President Vegetable gives us the Rah, Rah, we’re going go kick the unwoke, ungreen commies’ tails.

Also, the first tenet of Regime Speak is to automatically denounce any utterance that flies in the face of Regime dogma as Putin stoogeism.

US depleting its own military hardware and munitions inventories.

US/UK/EU/NATO running out of military hardware and munitions to send Ukraine.

US/UK/EU/NATO economies are imploding.

US/UK/EU/NATO debt is through the roof unsustainable.

Ukraine’s economy is non-existent.

Ukraine is broke and needs billions a month to sustain itself.

Germany only has enough munitions to last one or two days if they went to war.

Diesel shortages in the US leaves it with a 25-day supply.

But let’s keep stoking the flames of war with Russia and China.

Think about it, real hard cause this puzzle not hard to put together to see the bigger picture......

I see you have no problems with the Guardian, BBC, the Daily Mail, etc., etc., etc. though?

Killing the source does not kill the message being delivered.
Just ask Jesus......

How many tens of billions of dollars worth of NATO weaponry being fired at you does it take before they become aggressive? Oh yeah, still waiting for the first dime’s worth of Russian aggressive munitions to be fired at NATO. Your definition is not very revealing, considering the source, it’s your regime’s.

They weren’t tactical nukes, they were strategic. They had a warhead yield of 1.45 megatons.

Re-read that which I said.

Again, killing the messenger (aka: the source), does not kill the message. Want to kill the message, than substantively tear the message apart or attempt to.
