Russia Deploys Hypersonic Missiles Along Baltic Sea
Newsmax ^ | August 19, 2022 | Luca Cacciatore

Posted on 08/19/2022 5:44:16 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

Russia has deployed aircraft armed with hypersonic missiles along the Baltic Sea, a move that inches the country's forces closer to its NATO border, The Associated Press reported.

In a Thursday announcement, the Russian Defense Ministry revealed that it moved three MiG-31 fighters brandishing Kinzhal missiles to Chkalovsk air base in Kaliningrad — a Russian enclave north of Poland and south of Lithuania.

Moscow asserts that the Kinzhal missiles, which have already been used in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, have a range of up to roughly 1,250 miles (2,000 kilometers) and fly at ten times the speed of sound.

From 1945-49 the US and UK planned to bomb Russia into the Stone Age

OK, however there's a couple of problems that ya will run into.

First, ya can never back off being the Apex Bully, and second, ya can never get old and lose the strength to be the Apex Bully.

So far, no one's pulled it off.

Your memories of a strong and mighty Russia need to be updated. Today’s Russia is so pathetic and weak that it can’t even defeat a poorly armed country run by a comedian.

And now, like Putin, you have delusions of grandeur believing that ‘mighty Russia’ can intimidate anyone.

Memo: No one is afraid of you anymore. Russia is the dying rump of a fallen empire whose glory days are all in the past.

A perfect example of Russian Derangement Syndrome.

Look it, sh#t for brains, and see how much territory the Russians have already liberated. The Russians will possess land that comprised 80% of Ukraine's GDP by time this is over.

And, when the war started, Ukraine had three times as many troops on the ground. They had and have received tens of billions of funding from US and European taxpayers. The Ukrainian army spent eight years installing concrete areas on the battlefield. They receive intelligence and war planning from NATO. AND, UKRAINE IS STILL GETTING ITS ASS HANDED TO IT. You are dangerously delusional and danger me, everyone posting here and every citizen of the United States.

You're the kind of fool that wants a hot war with Russia or WWIII and thinks we and NATO can win one. You're one of the biggest morons I've ever encountered. You don't live the real world.

The Russians have hypersonic weapons that we don't have. They have one of the biggest stockpiles of nukes in the world. Only the dumbest of asses would want to provoke a war with Russia.

You're an embarrassment to humnity.

You sound like most petulant losers. You’re losing a war you think you have a right to win and pitching a fit.

Fact: Crimea is under attack.
Fact: Ukraine is now gaining ground and Russia is losing it.
Fact: Ukraine has been beating the best Russia can deliver.
Fact: Thanks to Putin NATO is now stronger than it was eight months ago.
Fact: Switzerland and Austria are now integrating with NATO - a first step to joining NATO.
Fact: By the end of this month Russia will have lost over 1,000 tanks and built exactly NO replacements.

I personally don’t give a crap about Russian threats except to the extent that the more threats you useless pizdobols make the more I want to see you make good on them.

You bastards are threatening a ‘hot war’ right? You’ve been doing this for eight months now.

Then do it. Stop talking about it and DO IT.

I’m waiting.

You're a delusional fool.

Take a map, dumbass, and see all the areas the Russians occupy, areas that will never, ever, ever be part of Ukraine again.

The Russians are gaining miles and miles of territory EACH DAY, YOU FREEPIN' MORON.

You're like the fan of a football team that's 42-7 in the fourth quarter and arguing that your team is actually winning.

You're Forest Gump stupid.

As predicted and will continue to predict -- Everything east of the Dnieper River and the entire Black Sea Coastline will soon be part of the Russian Federation.

How Ukrainian offensive in Kherson going, BTW? You know there is vote scheduled soon in Kherson and the residents will soon either agree to join Russia or become an independent state?

This is how you define winning?

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson:

https://sonar21.com/what-is-going-on-with-ukraine-and-its-war-strategy/

The gulf between what Ukraine thinks it is achieving vis-a-vis its defeat of the Russian invasion and the reality on the ground is growing astronomically. There are some stark facts that must be acknowledged:

1. Ukraine’s air force is inactive. Whatever still exists is not providing close air support to besieged Ukrainian troops or carrying out aerial attacks against Russian positions.

2. Ukraine’s rotary wing aircraft–i.e., helicopters–also is inactive. Only a few helicopters remain and they rarely venture to the front. They are not hitting Russian truck and tank columns with air launched rockets.

3. Ukraine’s tank battalions are non-existent in the Donbas and Kherson. Ukraine keeps its tanks dispersed and camouflaged to protect what remains from air and artillery strikes.

4.Ukraine has shown no ability to reinforce besieged troops and launch a counter attack that pushes the Russians back permanently.

5. Ukraine has used HIMARS, artillery and saboteurs to hit some key Russian ammo depots, but these, so far, are isolated incidents and have not changed the strategic picture.

I have been a target of criticism for taking on the media and opinion reports that portray Russia as desperate and losing. I do this because it is important that someone try to objectively weigh the facts. Propaganda and misinformation can be very dangerous if left unchallenged. Ukraine is a case in point. If you think the facts I outlined above are understood and appreciated by the leaders of Ukraine, think again. They apparently genuinely believe that they will mount an offensive in southern Ukraine that will eventually expel Russia from Crimea. Why? They believe the intelligence and media reports coming from U.S. and European sources that claim Russia is on the ropes and its ground troops are demoralized.

“We should just rebuild Tesla’s death ray and destroy a Chinese empty city to let them know we mean business.”

Great idea! Put live on YouTube for shits and giggles. Along with bets being placed. Chinese are already spooked by Covid, so ramp this up some more.

What irks me is the money were wasting (that is being laundered to special interests) in Ukraine and that fact we have pushed Russia needlessly into an alliance with China. This aggressive anti-Russian nonsense is now threatening the dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency.

I agree that Russia is far from destroyed. I contend that it needs to be destroyed.

Kazan on 22nd August “

...

Russia retreats just a month after declaring kherson part of Russia. After the fale referenda.

You guys lost kazan. Now withdraw your troops from Ukraine
