    Speaking at a meeting with his top officials in the Kremlin, Mr. Putin announced proposed amendments to the Russian military doctrine, the policy document that regulates the use of nuclear weapons. “It is proposed that aggression against Russia by any nonnuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state be considered as their joint attack on the Russian Federation,” said Mr. Putin. The Russian leader said that the policy needed to be amended because “military-political circumstances is changing dynamically.” “The conditions for Russia’s transition to the use of nuclear weapons are also clearly fixed,” Mr. Putin said,...
  • With nuclear option unlikely, Putin struggles to defend his red lines

    When Russian President Vladimir Putin warned earlier this month that Western approval for Ukraine to strike deep inside Russia would mean Moscow was at war with NATO, Russian propagandists rushed to rattle the nuclear saber. Alexander Mikhailov, director of the Bureau of Military Political Analysis, called for bombing plywood mock-ups of London and Washington — complete with reproductions of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the White House — to simulate nuclear strikes, so that they would “burn so beautifully that it will horrify the world.” The speaker of the lower house, Vyacheslav Volodin, warned that strikes on Russia would lead...

    The Kremlin is boiling. Did Vladimir Solovyov, a well-known propagandist of the Russian regime, suggest the resignation of Vladimir Putin while discussing holding those responsible for the failures in the Kursk region accountable? The chief Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov, host of a popular talk show, spoke about the situation in the western regions of Russia. He said that Ukrainian "terrorist" attacks on Russian soil must have consequences. He also suggested executing members of the "Navalny network" as traitors. This statement, especially what he said moments later, caused a wave of comments and genuine turmoil—even in the Kremlin. "For me, the...

    A former business partner of Hunter Biden was sentenced Monday to more than a year in prison for his role in a scheme to defraud a Native American tribe of some $60 million in bonds. The defendant, Devon Archer, was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison by Manhattan Judge Ronnie Abrams, who said the crime was “too serious” to let him just walk. “There’s no dispute about the harm caused to real people,” Abrams said, noting that the defrauded tribe, the Oglala Sioux, is one of the poorest in the nation. Archer will also have to...

    Mr. Putin expressed that endorsement this month, noting that a change in sanctions against Russia could come should she be elected. Now Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is walking back Mr. Putin’s statement. “It was a joke,” Mr. Lavrov said in an interview with Sky News Arabia that was posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website Friday. “President Putin has a good sense of humor. He often jokes during his statements and interviews.” “I see no long-term differences in our attitude to the current or previous elections in the United States, because it is ruled by the notorious deep state,”...

    The Russian government is completely writing off all debt, mortgages, and loans for their soldiers who were wounded or received awards for service in Russia’s Special Military Operations. American soldiers get assistance but not an exoneration of mortgages and debts. Putin also ordered the country’s military to expand to 1.5 million active troops, bringing the total military personnel to nearly 2.4 million. The growing prospect for World War III continue to unfold.

    Analysis In an unprecedented joint public appearance, CIA Director William Burns and MI6 Chief Richard Moore assert the enduring strength of their intelligence agencies Last week, the heads of major Western intelligence agencies made a striking public appearance, first with a provocative op-ed and then in a high-profile interview with the Financial Times editor. Although some questions remained unanswered, their statements provided critical insights into their covert and overt operations. William Joseph Burns, Director of the CIA, and Richard Peter Moore, head of MI6/SIS, both distinguished diplomats before their current roles, asserted with conviction that their organisations are more formidable...

    President Biden scolded a journalist Friday for asking him to respond to Vladimir Putin’s statement that the US and Russia would effectively be at war if the American commander in chief lifts restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles inside Russia. “I say you be quiet until I speak. Okay? That’s what I say. Good idea?” Biden, 81, snapped as he opened a meeting at the White House with visiting UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The journalist persisted, “But what do you say to [Russian President] Vladimir Putin’s threat of war, sir? It’s a serious threat.” “You’ve got to be...

Right now there's apparently a blackout on Putin's second point - NATO military personelle, and NATO satellite intel are required to fire the missiles deep into Russia (in bold type below).Question: Over the past few days, we have been hearing statements at a very high level in the UK and the United States that the Kiev regime will be allowed to strike targets deep inside Russia using Western long-range weapons.

Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelenskyy has been pushing the U.S. and NATO for months to remove any and all restrictions they have on Kyiv’s use of Western-supplied long-range weapons and permit it to hit military targets deep in Russia. But Putin on Thursday drew a red line and...

    Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters Thursday that allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike inside Russia would be seen by Moscow as NATO’s direct entry into the war. “This will mean that NATO countries – the United States and European countries – are at war with Russia. And if this is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us,” he said. According to the Russian president, “the Ukrainian army is not capable of using cutting-edge high-precision...

    In response to criticism that Vice-President Kamala Harris was "installed rather than elected as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee," former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) insisted that "it was an open process. After President Biden voluntarily stepped down the Democratic National Committee carefully weighed what to do. During this process any Democrat could've submitted his or her name for us to consider. No one did. The DNC can't be blamed for not selecting from a list with zero names on it." "Since President Biden has made clear for a long time, he and Kamala were a team," Pelosi pointed out....

    Russian President Vladimir Putin ruffled some feathers inside his own country this weekend when he appeared to dismiss the recent Ukrainian incursion into the Kursk Oblast inside of Russia as having had "no effect" on the overall war. He insisted that the primary objective of the war had been to retake and fortify annexed lands, primarily in the eastern Donbas region, and that Ukraine's actions in Kursk had actually hastened Russia's success there. Meanwhile, Ukraine's top military commander was marched out to counter those claims, saying that the invasion of Kursk was "working" and that Russia had made no new...
