Stunning Clip Of How Russia Is "Not" Preparing For Nuclear War
Despite all the words - and equity market rallies (confirming that it must be true) - it would appear Mr. Putin and his men have been quietly "not" preparing for all-out war (which makes us wonder, aside from the ICBMs, just what it would look like if they were actually preparing for war). Below is a clip of today's "simulated massive nuclear attack" drills conducted in Russia. It is in short, stunning.

Bomber with turboprops? Do those still exist?
Impressive, so many fucking rockets fired without a glitch.
All part of the Banksters plan for us.
Here's the plan in case you're interested.
http://www.worldaffairsbrief.com/keytopics/threats.html
Putin isn't playing around it seems...but Obama is definitely playing a foursome somewhere while JoKe (John Kerry) is on a yacht playing some bridge and sinking down martinis.
Draghi sent out his own rocket today and managed to crash EUR/USD almost 150 pips. What will putin respond with?
Anyone see a 155 artillery bombardment? Hell on earth.
Looks Like Putin Would Be VERY VERY VERY Pissed Off If Us Fucks With The Rubble Or Russia Finances.
Thats What PUTIN Is Telegraphing!
We Know The Us Fucks The GOLD Price For Decades, The Rubble Is Another Matter...
HFT Is No Match For A Real Russia NUKE...
What's the big deal? We've faced all this before. Like in Grenada and Libya and, and ... . Well, lotsa places. And this time, we'll like have China on our side. And everyone else. Man, that Putin better watch out. If he nukes a few American cities, boy are we gonna be mad at him. (Or maybe somebody else?)
Doomsday plans work like that, everyone everywhere who so much as made an off-color joke gets their own personal nuclear death on the offhand chance they were the one who launched.
There are many who are considering the EMP option.
However, it is a pointless option. Whoever was EMP'd would eventually recover. When they did they would do a carte-blanche no-notice first strike with all the toppings.
Recovery of a national grid shutdown, which a national communications shutdown, would take years, per FEMA. If power plant transformers are lost, it could be a decade, since only the chinese make the big ones and there's a 4 year backlog. Black starting the national grid has never been sttempted and without comms, is impossible.
petro dollars at work.
I favor the "fart in their general direction" option myself.
It gets the point across without too much of a mess to deal with later.
BTW, those rockets are called "Stalin's Organ"
The launch display is pretty awesome, but I wanna see where they landed.
The destruction of all the groundhogs, prairie dogs and moles must be breathtaking.
DaddyO
I beleive Putin yells 'Fore' before his missiles launch
We will need to write the songs about WWIII before the war because nobody will be around afterwards.

The Rabbit Hole
Another shameless blog by TwoShortPlanks
http://twoshortplanksunplugged.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/the-rabbit-hole.html
Second video is just badly made cgi combined with what looks like artillery fire..
Ummmm! Rocket Porn!
Dumb question, but did they keep any rockets for the actual war?
If the DC idiots don't recognise the abyss when they see it this time they should be pistol whipped. They have no right to drag us all into their willfully created nightmares. I still don't understand why Victoria the pyromaniac Nuland is allowed to hide when it was she who provoked this war. She should be made to pay reparations to all families of the dead, those recently killed and those yet to die. She is responsible for every death after that vicious phone call.
I think it is about time that Obama starts hitting that damn 'Reset' button his Secratary of State gave Putin.
And after that it's about time he starts hitting that obnoxious unelected snot Nuland who ignited the whole thing.
“If the DC idiots… this time they should be pistol whipped.”
I’m for pistol whipping them at any time.
Recovery of a national grid shutdown, which a national communications shutdown, would take years
we would only have weeks if the grid went down long term...think Fukishima
Seeing as 20C civilisation is so dependent on electricity, it might be even less than weeks.
Apart from the significant infrastructure replacement delay (India and China being the only major suppliers of "new" high capacity, high voltage Supergrid transformers, and Grid Control infrastructure), how would America propose to "pay" for these systems?
After the inevitable failure of command and control leads to the inevitable escalation into Global nuclear war (and that WILL be the outcome), it'll be safe to assume that the "survivors" will be returning to a Mediaeval standard of existence, for quite a very long time, and "electricity" will become no more than a distant, folk memory.
And - that's looking on the "best outcome" side - without any additional catastrophes (volcanic, climatic, planetary impact).
An EMP strike would tear US civilization apart. Just picture what major cities would look like even one week after the supply chain broke down? The Free Shit Army would get pretty angry once the free shit stops coming in. First they would turn on each other and then the survivors would head out to loot and pillage the countryside.
Bad as that is, it would be a walk in the park compared to Global Thermonuclear war. Throw in generation of deformed and misborn from the radiation. The living will envy the dead.
"think Fukishima"
more likely.. "think Mad Max".
Just like Y2K?
If the market goes down for good there would be an opportunity for someone to broadcast daily gold and silver spot with smoke signals.
>>>it'll be safe to assume that the "survivors" will be returning to a Mediaeval standard of existence
It'll be more like the 17th Century IMHO. Maybe the residual cultures will produce some decent literature, or at least some snappy swordsmanship.
Nuclear power plants..you read my mind.
All you guys spreading negativity waves, enough already! The government estimates that in the case of a complete shutdown of the electric grid at least 1/3 of Americans would still be alive after the first year, hungry but alive. Plus look at all the missiles that were used in that exercise today, only 8500 more are were in the clear.
I imagine our launch capabilities are protected from EMPs, unlike our infrastructure.
Hats off for the avatar.
Supposedly there is a lot of EMP hardened military equipment, but how much of it has REALLY been tested? It's also old as hell; EMP threats haven't been taken seriously in decades.
The general idea about EMP and singular objects is generally, if it's close for the EMP to get it, it has other problems. Power grids and phone lines and whatnot are going to have issues, but a nuclear missile and the bunker with the guys who can launch the missile? If EMP could take them out, the nuclear blast will be close enough to be causing other problems. We made sure our ability to respond was protected from EMP, and once we knew how that shit actually affected equipment, we let the Soviets believe it was a big, big problem to get them to spend money that they didn't have. It makes sense in a MAD world to do this, i.e. make sure your hardening goes towards making sure you can still launch a missile. It does not, however make sense in a mad world, which is what we have today.
Oh, and BTW, we've still been doing research on this stuff. Not just EMP, but ground effect stuff on things like critical communications infrastructure for being able to respond.
Just remember, it is the flux that counts. Power grids are huge fucking antennas, and thus have a lot of area. Make a loop, and the entire area inside of the loop counts when talking flux. A missile? That's a small area, especially when compared to all of the loops in our power grid.
So, do we live in a MAD world, or just a plain old mad world?
Weird that you mention that, because much of the US fleet of nuclear weapons until the 1970s/1980s apparently weren't even EMP-hardened themselves. The strategy for many of the early "Anti-ballistic missile" schemes was simply to exploit the lack of EMP hardening in the weapons themselves by forcing the ICBM/SLBM re-entry vehicles to fly through EMP-laden zones of ionization. Basically the Soviets or the Americans would EMP-nuke themselves, to disable the incoming weaponry.
@mistermp
Nukes a few American cities? I bet Obama would pull out the really big red marker for that one. Putin watch out!
Or, the really big teleprompter.
considering that the electrical grid would be taken out with an EMP attack before the bombs hit, he would be using flash cards instead.
Only if it didn't interfere with his tee-off times.
They may have nukes, but we have a Hulk.
Hmphf. I'd be more impressed by a million red drone army flying over Stalingrad tomorrow(Victory Day).
Yep. 69 years ago tomorrow the Nazis surrendered to the Red Army.

This is just burning off old stock and getting a bit of a message out: you can choose which way you are going to end your hegemony.

Glorified dick pics, both sides.
My thought as well. These displays elicit quite a different reaction from warhawk psychopaths, who are probably trembling with sexual excitement. Add enviropaths to that group, with their Agenda (21) to "thin the herd." (My thought: give each and every one of them about 15 feet of sturdy rope and let them demonstrate their conviction.) In the meantime, we need more balanced human beings to help new audiences cut through the snake oil, take power away from the deviants who feed the social imbalances that lead to these situations, and pre-empt the usual outcome.
Well said.
You are pointing ZH-ers to the task, no?
Well, I can't guess the numbers for ZH readership, but interest in independent media generally is soaring, and we're blessed to see bright and talented individuals using their gifts for research and writing and reporting on subjects and to an extent not tolerated in a repressive, controlled environment. In the battle for the mind, looking for honest answers to tough questions is undeniably the patriotic duty of every free person.
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. - Orwell
A proper answer to your question would require lengthy discussion offline, but I fully expect vigilantism amid the chaos in the years ahead, followed eventually and very publicly by some sort of Nuremberg-style proceeding led not by lackeys but by individuals of conscience. Right now we are in loonyland, with "law" increasingly distant from justice. I speculate that those responsible know who they are, know they are not the only ones capable of making lists, know how it usually ends, and know to be afraid.
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a mental disorder.

"The so-called "condition" for why a person might choose to resist conformity has been labeled by the psychiatric profession as "oppositional defiant disorder," or ODD"
Ain't it grand? The threat of "Vigilantism" so to speak, can be fixed with drugs, or a bullet; because individual of conscience will be labelled as suffering ODD.
I wonder if the academics dreaming this stuff up read about the survivial rate of academics in the revolutions of Cambodia, Russia and China?
Cute acronym: "ODD." I guess we should all go out and celebrate our "ODDity."
Psychiatry is like climate science: a refuge for academic whores and people struggling with their own issues. I never met a psychiatrist who didn't seem creepy and 'broken' somehow.
We gotta racist baskertball coach out in LA who refuses to sit next to blacks during events and won't go on Oprah for an interview.
Is it your intention to derail the discussion?
If you want to think critically, start by spending less time in front of the TV. Pop culture is a mind-fucking distraction. Save your brain cells for better things.

russians employ 152mm though right? 155mm is nato/usa?
Yes the US uses 155's.
It would tear the shit out of a Russian trailer park.
Ooof. About 6 years worth. Semper Fi.
Yeah, 95% of that video was Russian rocket artillery. They did show a couple of train and sub launched ICMB's but couldn't say if that actually happened in the drill last week.
Well, Draghi is just a financial terrorist. Hope they hang him by his balls and lash him in a good Saudi way. He deserves it. Unfortunately this is all taking too long.
those rockets are not big enough to carry payload to the space station
much less to the international peac colonies on mars
mir, baby
Mir is in the drink. Still. Jus sayin.
those rockets can take out entire fleets. fired from land, 1500-2000 mile range. goodbye carrier fleet.
Funny you mention John Kerry on the yacht. I wonder if he ever paid his state yacht tax?

Bring back our girls! ... or something.
No, Bath House is off fondling some small fry.
The hubris of the human race is astounding...no one is prepared for nuclear war. This is the optimism bias gone full retard.
It's like a guy fighting another guy in a locked porta potty and then pulling the pin on a grendade thinking he is going to "win". Bunch of fucking idiots.... all of us.
Yes. That sums my experience of humanity nicely.
My thoughts as well. What possesses "us" to build these types of things for the sole purpose of killing each other?
While thats some scary shit, I swear I've seen very similar footage from the US not too long ago, but with actual human beings on the other end.
You seriously want us to invest in capex or something? FFS man, you live on THIS planet....

excellant summary of events.
NWO is not just a bed time story to scare the children
This is getting ugly, and are we sure all those clips where of the same day?
Wasn't this same footage shown a month ago but with Iranian subtitles?
I was actually wondering how much of this video is a compilation of stock footage.
If I were really determined, I suppose I could deduce that percentage based on latitude / longitude estimates of the pictured venues and shadow lengths of pictured equipment, trees, etc. to get the time of year.
</scratch nuts> </yaaaaaaawn> </scratch nuts again> Back to the Kardashians.
The mobile missile launchers were shot from 2 angles, 3 if you include the close-up. I think that was it.
And we're not preparing to drone Nigeria either, but if it happens, so be it, and you won't hear that from me, no sir-ree.

Not nearly as impressive as this missile launch from Iran:
http://i33.tinypic.com/15o9p1d.jpg
Those rockets sre like AK's, work everytime.
Sure they do...
I've been at ground zero to experience incoming fire from a BM21 first hand.
You get a lot of shrapnel, and an impact crater that looks like an Anasazi pictogram of the sun... a circle with little swrily rays coming off it.
But... still, I can see, hear, and have all 10 fingers and all 10 toes.
That ought to tell you something.
Tells you that artillery or air bombardment effective for suppression but not necessarily for attrition. Luttvak discusses this in his Logic of Strategy. U.S. carpet bombed Iraq in early 90s with minimal results. Contrary to propaganda of the times most of it not smart weapons but ordnance released from B-52s.
Also allies famously bombed German cities, logistical hubs, and factories into labyrinths of burned-out façades yet German armament production continued until the fall of Berlin.
I think maybe you need to check out the biggest killer of both WW1 and WW2
Artillery is the "King of Battle" says the infantry officer.
>>Impressive, so many fucking rockets fired without a glitch.
Nar, not a touch off IBM's fireworks do near Portsmouth. I mean they never even had any colour. I suppose on their side having a free BBQ at the end isn't to bad
A former colleague is the Commodore of Hardway S.C. (Gosport). He shot some pretty awesome HD video of that event from his yacht (moored out in the Marina Approaches to North Harbour).
Impressive is not the word for it, but I still think the big display during the Festival of the Sea was better - for us the Festival was well worth the 2-way trip on our "Floating Home", all the way from Melbourne.
Impressive, so many fucking rockets fired without a glitch.
I suspect the ones that blew up on launch or did somersaults at 300 feet are probably the ones they didn't show.
It's called a " editing " RT gets an A+ for there editing skills lol Keep that propaganda machine rolling RT
That's all WOII stuff. The Russians called it 'Stalin's Organ'. That's not to say the Russians got some pretty amazing new stuff:

DaddyO
Good lord man did you bother to read the article you posted? 27 crew members of the destroyer all sent in their resignation after the SU24 buzzed them?
I am sure the Russians have some fine equipment but that story is worse than the drivel we get from our MSM. Which is hard to do.
It would be cool to be able to actually hear that many rockets at once.
What's the range on those truck fired rockets? Are they guided? Would it be a problem if they were all fired at a single Naval Vessel in the black sea simultaneously or is their a counter defensive solution for that many rockets?
Most certainly....
The "Bear" is prop driven....
Tuplolev Tu95 Bomber...but it's multi role to some extent.
Its what's known as a "stand-off bomber" - its role is to get the payload closer to target without overtly threatening the enemy E.g. "What, us, were just flying around in this old crate doin' nuthin..."
It does not need to be super-fast or high tech - just a solid and reliable launch platform...
Those wing tanks give a tad extra range, too.
B 52s are from about the same era and serve about the same purpose. There are instances of 3 generations of Air Force pilots flying the B 52s.
Don't fix what isn't broken.
Work just fine as stand off missile platforms.
what he said...
You only need stealthy, sexy bombers going into opposed airspace. To just drop cruise missiles or bombs where you have air superiority, the bear and BUFF work just fine.
Stealth bombers are only invisible to NATO radar. Eastern bloc radar works on a different principle and can detect stealth planes. Look it up, western military scientists were shocked when they got their hands on a former Warsaw Pact fighter jet's radar system and found it could detect the disturbance in the air caused by the passing stealth plane.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-95
Bear.
Same age as me.
Yes, they do. Most specifically unlike warbirds the west tends to own. They do not have control modules manufactured in China.
Shit still works and they still can drop nuclear bombs. It's quite real my friend...
Arm yourselves.
Do not worry, Russians do not have a habit of start wars. Russians have the habit to end the wars.
Quite.
They are very efficient and push the Mach just as well as a turbjet.
The Tup's?
Yes. Still in use after 60+ years, much like the American B-52 (which is a jet, but otherwise similar).
They look like dogs, but it's actually a very fuel efficient plane.
Think of it only as a mobile cruise missile platform with great range. In this aspect it fills the role quite well.
They are dropping cruise missiles dumb ass.
Yeah the do, unlike the space shuttle in the US.
Yes, they are very much in active service, and one was intercepted off the Californian coast the other day, and another one off Guam.
You might want to ask your neocon leaders to back off baiting Vlad.
It's a Tu-95 "Bear" bomber. Yes, they still exist. It's the Russian's equivalent of the B-52. They have comparable ranges, but the B-52 is faster. They've been flying since the 50's. Like the B-52, there have been lots of different versions and they've been upgraded over time. It actually has 8 props, the tips of which move at supersonic speed... it's by far the loudest aircraft in existence. Even with extensive hearing protection, the pilots lose their hearing flying them.
They are mostly armed with nuclear tipped cruise missiles.
there is a reason those props still exist, and it is unique russian ingenuity
at it's best. can anyone guess?
TU-95. Still the fastest prop.
Sailor take warning....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXfc7VMyj94
Tupolev Tu-142 Bear Foxtrot.
Old like the B52 (probably before you were born) but highly fuel efficient. The Russians didn't have air-to-air refueling so bombers had to fly far on a fill up when these beasts got developed. Be sure to wear your earplugs because they are deafening. They definitely won't sneak up on you.
"Bomber with turboprops? Do those still exist?"
US military procurement policy:
Whatever enriches the MIC & its shareholders.
Russian military procurement policy:
Whatever works.
Obviously; they're fuel effecient, long loiter time, reliable, and deliver intelligent effective milssiles. The real message that only the people it was intended for got was this; we didn't know where the two submarines were when they fired their ballistic missiles. At one time we could track russian boomers; now we can't. that's a game changer.
That is the most depressing movie EVER.
We really don't need to go there.
Another Great Movie...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058083/
I watched this after one of your recent endorsements of it. Grim and unrelenting.
Highly recommended.
Yeah, it's almost like he's working for Putin. Or something.
http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/global_elite_picked_obama_171.html
Obama is not just playing golf on a pogo stick. He is occupying the post of US Chief Executive primarily so that a qualified, patriotic, honest statesmen cannot. He’s the choice of a Fed cartel of international bankers and as long as he keeps his mouth shut about the real dangers and the real involvement of the United States in the affairs of its citizens and the world, he and Michelle can continue sleeping in the White House.
Obama was hand selected by the elites, the same men who put Bush II on the throne and controlled him, took to heart the low approval rating of Mr. Bush and did a bait and switch. Picking Black Obama the liberal, they got millions of dupes to vote for hope and to vote for change, when in fact, the Obama puppet was George Bush in Black Face. A total tool of the bankers, Israel and the military industrial complex! Obama is worse than Bush, if that is possible. They filthy dirty whore MS CLinton is the ultimate cunt tool of the eilte Bankers, Israel and the Military Industrial Spy complex.
MS CLITON is the focus of evil in the modern world. That dirty bitch is going to cause a blood bath with her neo-con war mongering.
It'll be very interesting to see just who gets placed where if or when Madame Hitlary is elected.
I'm guessing the higher echelons of the US War Machine will become ever-so-slightly more hawkish ? ? ?
Jack B ...
Bush 2 = Patriot Act
Obama = NDAA
Honestly don't see much difference in them.
"the elites .. took to heart the low approval rating of Mr. Bush and did a bait and switch"
I think that you're underestimating the elite's cleverness on this one ...
Bush (with his openly genocidal policies, his blatant inaptness,
apparent stupidity & consquent low approval ratings)
was used to pave the way for his colleague Obama,
the elites used the former to his full extent to create a sharp contrast
with the slick telepromter reader in chief & make America beg for Obama,
it was all part of their devious (but clever) plan/scam ...
in the same way, I'm convinced that Palin (Bush's almost perfect female counterpart)
was selected to scare the shit out of a majority of the American people
& secure Obama's rise to power ...
just my 2 cents :)
peace,
More toys for Vlad.

We need Bond! James Bond!
Best avatar ever.....LOL.
Sudden Debt vs Head Banger.
Even Bond is going through austerity cuts. Nowadays he doesn't shave and probably flies Ryan Air. And the girls are guys. What has become of the world...
Bond retired... we are left with Odd Job.
Couple'a A-10's would fix their little red wagon...
Your A10's wouldn't get an inch inside Russian-controlled airspace.
And that applies to ALL your hardware. Never, EVER underestimate Russian capability, especially air-defence capability. Naploeon and Hitler are good examples of this type of over-confident thinking, and we all know how "things worked out" for them, don't we!
It's different this time...
German invasion of Russia during WW2 seemed to go well at first.
One thing that bothered the German generals sifting intelligence after the first 2 days of fighting was that Russian troops had been killed or captured and found wearing shoulder patches from almost 370 different Russian divisions.
Germany seriously underestimated the size of the Russian Army.
The smart German generals knew that operation Barbarosa was in trouble from day two.
No sane person wants to try Russia in a conventional land assult.
No sane person wants a nuke war.
Which is why the west is trying an economic war...imo.
Exactly. Napoleon never even got a plane in the air. They were all destroyed on the ground.
What an enormous pack of idiots Homo sapiens has become. Ten thousand years, and all they have done is turn a club into a missile. Stupid fucking fools.
You have to admit that extending the reach of that club 8000 miles or so shows a certain amout of initiative and cleverness.
Instead of showing missiles, perhaps we could see a picture of Russia selling Treasury bonds en masse.
Instead of showing missiles, perhaps we could see a picture of Russia selling Treasury bonds en masse.
Some great Russian Keynesians - blow up missles and bombs... to build some more. Genius. Why didn't USA think of that... oh, wait.
