Putin Signs New Military Doctrine: Names NATO, US As Main Foreign Threat; Test Fires New ICBM
Last week, after the unanimous passage of the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014 in Congress, which made legal the provision of US "lethal aid" to Kiev and which Russia blasted as an act of aggression and promised that it would merely accelerate the deterioration of relations between Russia and the west, we wrote that "World Awaits Russian Response As Obama Makes "Lethal Aid" To Ukraine Legal." We didn't have long to wait: one short hour ago, Putin adopted an updated version of its military doctrine, which "reflects the emergence of new threats against its national security" and which names both the NATO military buildup on Russia's borders, as well as the US and the destabilized situation in some regions (read Ukraine) as the main foreign threats to Russian security. The doctrine update also, for the first time, put protection of Russian national interest in the Arctic (read oil and nat gas) among the key priorities for Russia's armed forces.
In other words, Putin is not only not backing down, but has once again explicitly warned NATO that any western action, either in Ukraine or elsewhere, will have a proportional response.
Among the highlights of the new doctrine:
- Russia's military doctrine names NATO military buildup, destabilized situation in some regions among main external threats to security
- Russia's new military doctrine puts protection of national interests in Arctic among priorities for Armed Forces for the first time
- Territorial claims to Russia and its allies, intervening in domestic policy main military threats
- Likelihood of large-scale war against Russia decreased, but some security threats continue to grow
- Anti-missile shields, 'global strike' concept, plans of placing weapons in space are external military threats to Russia
- Attempts to destabilize situation in Russia, terrorist activities are country's main internal threats
More from RT:
The new doctrine was approved on Friday by President Vladimir Putin. Its core remains unchanged from the previous version. The Russian military remains a defensive tool which the country pledges to use only as a last resort. Also unchanged are the principles of the use of nuclear weapons which Russia adheres to. Their primary goal is to deter potential enemies from attacking Russia, but it would use them to protect itself from a military attack – either nuclear or conventional – threatening its existence.
The new sections of the doctrine outline the threat Russia sees in NATO’s expansion and military buildup and the fact that the alliance is taking upon itself “global functions realized with violation of international law.” The doctrine lists among major foreign military threats “the creation and deployment of global strategic antiballistic missile systems that undermines the established global stability and balance of power in nuclear missile capabilities, the implementation of the ‘prompt strike’ concept, intent to deploy weapons in space and deployment of strategic conventional precision weapons.”
Another new point in the doctrine is that one of the Russian military’s goals is to protect national interests in the Arctic region.
The document also points to the threat of destabilization countries bordering Russia or its allies and deployment of foreign troops such nations as a threat to national security.
There was a token segment focusing on domestic threats to peace and stability:
Domestically, Russia faces threats of “actions aimed at violent change of the Russian constitutional order, destabilization of the political and social environment, disorganization of the functioning of governmental bodies, crucial civilian and military facilities and informational infrastructure of Russia,” the doctrine says. Moscow sees international cooperation with countries sharing its effort to increase security, particularly members of BRICS, the OSCE, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and others as the key to preventing military conflicts, the doctrine states.
But the gist of the message was clearly focused on external developments because while the doctrine explicitly stated that "Prevention of nuclear war and any other type of conflict core to Russia's military policies" and that "Moscow reserves right to use nuclear weapons if Moscow, its allies are under nuclear or non-nuclear attack", just a few hours prior to the doctrine announcement, Russia’s intercontinental ballistic missile RS-24 Yars was test fired from the Plesetsk military cosmodrome in the country’s northwest, Russian Defense Ministry’s spokesman for the Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) Colonel Igor Yegorov told TASS on Friday.
The missile’s dummy warheads with given accuracy hit a target at the Kura range in Kamchatka in the Russian Far East.
“On December 26, 2014 at 11:02 am, Moscow time, the solid-propellant RS-24 Yars mobile ground ICBM with a multiple warhead was test fired from the Plesetsk state test cosmodrome by a combined combat crew of the RVSN and Aerospace Defense Forces,” the official said.
Clear enough. Then again, now that Ukraine's gold has been pillaged and the country's economy in freefall, it wouldn't be at all surprising if Kiev's "allies" let the nation fend for itself and push it right back into the hands of Russia. After all, the plunging oil prices are causing enough hurt to the Kremlin where events in Ukraine are now largely irrelevant.

The jury is still out on that.
Having witnessed several physical fights between oligarchs of the same nationality,
I just cannot give much credence to it.
There is no honor amongst thieves,or psychopaths,
Even if there is such a plan, its just a matter of who doublecrosses whom first.

Yeah Dieter,
I'm sure those ballistic missile summary tests along with the exercises in Russia since the the U.S. overthrew it's neighbor in February is very distant and isolated series of just in case of an emergency "break open" event!...
They are still the best of friends!
Went from progress and trade back to mortal enemy. Great job.
Progress + trade = mortal enemy.
As it should be.
Kiev is under the directions of the US and is preparing for a major offensive against Eastern Ukraine. The purpose of the coming attack is to draw Russia into a direct military conflict with Ukraine, which the Russian military will crush in a matter of days.
Now that Ukraine is a "major non-NATO ally" to the US, with the same diplomtaic standing as Japan, the odds are quite high that the US would become directly involved in such a war. Once US and Russian military forces begin fighting, neither side could afford to lose, and it would be only a matter of time before nuclear weapons were detonated.
Peer-reviewed scientific studies predict that a US-Russian nuclear war will leave the Earth uninhabitable. This fact seems not to have made its way into the heads of US leaders. What does it take to make them understand that nuclear war is suicide for the human race?
If a U.S. leader feels that suicide is their only option, he would first wish his wrath on you to reverse the feelings, it's that simple.
Heck, if it's "peer reviewed", all that's left is to write the history books, huh?
Could you get started on that? :-)
three major seed banks says that the NWO foresees a global catastrophe (nuclear, plague, pestilence of GMO, etc)
Unfortunately, probably nothing short of storming the Bastille will get their attention.
The new Congress may include a lot moar Russo-Phobes.
If they had done any traveling as many of us have done, they would know these are really shitty plans they are using against a large powerful State which will protect itself.
I have concluded the Congress is pretty much bought off, as many of you have concluded.
We are in for some whitewater rapids, men!
Moscow reserves right to use nuclear weapons if Moscow, its allies are under nuclear or non-nuclear attack
Oups...
One of the consequences of the recent elections is the increaseed influence that NeoCons will have in the next Congress....as if they didn't have enough already!
More lethal aid will include more mercenaries in Ukraine, and more seditious activities in the countries that "are not with us".

Vlad knows these western wolves are hungry to the point of desperation. He's sitting around the fire with his shotgun waiting to see if they are deranged enought to come into his light with deadly intent. Think he won't shoot?
The Russian military is so competent and highly decorated that they've produced this short video clip to highlight their outstanding performance and up-to-date military hardware.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mspvhhU4RAE
Vlad's going to huff and he's going to puff - and then he's going to crap his pants. Okay, he may also judo flip a few flacid, compliant men to the mat.
He prefers to flip servile Zero Hedgers. Are you on the list to be flipped by Vlad?
How's that US war against Pashtun sheepherders going again?
Your repetitive, and weak attempts at homoerotic/homophobic ad hominem, your unremitting focus on Putin and defense of the absurd neocon/MSM narrative means you're either a paid troll or an idiot.
You certainly don't know anything about what a land war in Ukraine would look like.
Be sure to "Like" the video!
Each of the decorated soldiers depicted was highly trained, utterly professional, and "almost" managed to fulfill his mission - whether it be turning a corner on a public street or loading the tank onto a carrier, etc.
Vodka helps them complete the mission!
Collateral damage is expected.
Ukraine, Russia and the Big Lie.
By TIMOTHY SNYDER
Anyone who wants to understand the current Russian position on Ukraine would do well to begin with George Orwell’s classic, 1984. The connections go deeper than the adjective “Orwellian”: the structure and the wisdom of the book are guides, often frighteningly precise ones, to current events.The easiest way to begin, in light of the now entirely open Russian invasion of Ukraine, is with “War is Peace,” one of the slogans of the imagined empire in Orwell’s tale. After all, every attempt thus far at negotiation and cease-fire has been accompanied by a Russian escalation, to the point where we can be certain that this is not a coincidence. If Russian President Vladimir Putin meets with other leaders, we must simply expect that this is cover for the latest outrage, as with the entrance of Russian troops, armor and artillery during the recent talks in Minsk.
But we need to dig a bit deeper into the plot for the three concepts needed to understand this very strange war, in which Putin has radicalized Russian politics, destroyed a European peace order, challenged Europeans’ assumptions about their entire future — and even threatened nuclear war. Every reason proffered to explain a war that is pointless to the point of nihilism is obviously bogus or self-contradictory or both. To grasp this horrible event in which people are killing and dying for no discernible reason, we need to remember some key concepts from Orwell: Eurasia, doublethink and learning to love Big Brother.
In Orwell’s 1984, one of the world powers is called Eurasia. Interestingly enough, Eurasia is the name of Russia’s major foreign policy doctrine. In Orwell’s dystopia, Eurasia is a repressive, warmongering state that “comprises the whole of the northern part of the European and Asiatic land-mass, from Portugal to the Bering Strait.” In Russian foreign policy, Eurasia is a plan for the integration of all the lands from—you guessed it—Portugal to the Bering Strait. Orwell’s Eurasia practices “neo-Bolshevism”; Russia’s leading Eurasian theorist once called himself a “national Bolshevik.” This man, the influential Alexander Dugin, has long advocated that the Ukrainian state be destroyed, and has very recently proposed that Russia exterminate Ukrainians.
Orwell can help us understand what is happening to us as if we make a good-faith effort to use Russian media official sources to try to understand the world. Russian propaganda about Ukraine is today’s doublethink: it requires that people, as Orwell put it, “hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing both of them.” Russian propaganda daily pounds out two sides to every story, both of which are false, and each of which contradicts the other. Consider the propositions in italics below, all of which should by now, after eight months of repetition, sound familiar.
On the one hand, Russia must invade Ukraine because the Ukrainian state is repressive. (In fact, Ukraine is a democracy with free expression and is in every respect a freer country than Russia.) On the other hand, Russia must intervene because the Ukrainian state does not exist. (In fact, it is just as functional as the Russian state, except in the problematic spheres of war, intelligence and propaganda.)
On the one hand, Russia must invade Ukraine because Russians in Ukraine are forced to speak the Ukrainian language. (This is not the case: Russians in Ukraine are far more at liberty to speak as they please than are Russians in Russia. Most speakers of Russian in Ukraine are not actually Russian, in any case, any more than Americans who speak English are English.) On the other, there is no Ukrainian language. (There is. It has a proud literary tradition and is spoken by tens of millions of people.)
On the one hand, Ukrainians are all nationalists. (In fact, the Ukrainian far right polled at 2 percent in the last presidential elections, far less than in any other European country you care to name.) On the other hand, there is no Ukrainian nation. (In fact, opinion polls always show the contrary, even in the regions now under Russian occupation. Millions of Ukrainians were willing to take risks for their nation in the recent revolution, and thousands of volunteers have chosen to risk their lives on the front lines—far more than can be said of most people in the United States and elsewhere who regard themselves as patriots.)
Feeling dizzy yet? One more time: Russia is making war to save the world from fascism. (In fact, it is in Russia where the far right exerts dictatorial power, the head of state enunciates a Hitlerian doctrine of invading another country to protect ethnic brethren. Russia’s political allies are Europe’s far right parties, including the fascists and neo-Nazis.) Meanwhile: fascism is good. (In Russia, Hitler is now being rehabilitated as a statesman, the Jews are being blamed for the Holocaust, gays are presented as an international conspiracy, Russian Nazis march on May Day and Russian Nazis in Ukraine are presented as heroes.)
Russian propaganda provides both sides of the story. We assume that the truth is in between. But no truth lies between propositions that are individually false and mutually contradictory. There is only insanity—or, as Orwell calls it, learning to love Big Brother, the novel’s distant, impersonal totalitarian leader. In 1984, one learns to love Big Brother by sacrificing the thing that one loves the most. In Ukraine, this would be statehood, as Putin has just demanded by endorsing the partition of the country and the formation of a Novorossiya (New Russia) in its southeast; in Europe, this would be peaceful integration, the achievement that Putin threatens; for all of us, reason.
All too often, we try to guess what is in Putin’s mind. We try to dwell in the mind of Big Brother rather than in the world of discoverable facts. But, fundamentally, who really cares what is in Putin’s mind? Does anyone really know, including Putin himself? Even if we did know what was in Putin’s mind today, is that a reliable guide to what will be in his mind tomorrow? And what chance would we have of defending freedom and decency if we begin from the brain of one individual? This is, after all, a man who intervenes in children’s cartoons and presides over television programs that raise the question of his possible divinity.
At the end of 1984, a member of Big Brother’s regime, in the midst of carrying out torture, makes a certain admission: “power is not a means, it is an end.” Whatever is in Putin’s mind, whatever he says and does, all he is really defending is his own power, something that will come to an end before very long in any event. Oppression in Russia, war in Ukraine and the destabilization of the West are grotesquely high prices to pay for one man’s preferences. Rather then beginning from these, rather than staring into the troubled eyes of the doublethinker, we had better think instead about what we value and what we can do to protect it. If Ukraine becomes Novorossiya, Europe becomes Eurasia, and the West collapses, it will not be because if Russia’s physical strength, but because of our mental weakness.
Timothy Snyder is Housum professor of History at Yale University and the author of Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin.
If Ukraine becomes Novorossiya, Europe becomes Eurasia, and the West collapses, it will not be because if Russia’s physical strength, but because of our failed leadership that cared more for spreading itself too thin in the world to attempt to wield the dying power of global control, which mired us in debt and led to collapse.

Snyder is a neocon, zionist fathead - he is not to be taken seriously. He is so absolutely biased as to be little more than a polemicist for the neoconservative worldview where no matter how many people the US and Israel kill, no matter how many laws they break, or coups they back - they are never, ever in the wrong. But Crimea voting to rejoin Russia, post a US-backed, anti-Russian coup {a prior attempt 8 years or so earlier failing} means Russia is the aggressor - meaning there's no "right" of self-determination for Crimea after a coup, which is absurd. Meanwhile his ideological fellow travellers, as arrogant as they are rigid in their thinking, merely presuppose that anything the US and UK and Israel are good, while anything done in resistance, or independence is the moral evil. So the US and Israel can kill hundreds of thousands, but Crimean democracy is the crime.
You're not just a fellow with a neocon, MSM position, and a cunt about reasserting it over and over, you're a dumb guy, AP.

Damn, cut the faux news off for 1 day...
@Amerikan Pakrat and Tim Snyder
The only relation between Vladimir Putin and 1984 is that Putin is your Emmanuel Goldstein, the object of your mindless and worthless contempt.
The subject of your and Snyder's 2 minutes hate. Without which you two would be eating each other's flesh and tearing off your testicles to see whether there really are tiny nut meats inside.
On the other hand this what you do for a living. What you get paid for: making an asshole out of your self.
But it does put dog food on the table for your wife and pups.
Are you learning to love Big Brother and Putin?
Amerikan Pat,
Do you love the Big Brother in the US? It is just as corrupt and more so that Putin's Russia. Putin is just more open about his corruption and oppression. The US tries to state some BS American exceptionalism.
Each year, Transparency International surveys and rates the relative levels of perceived government corruption among 177 countries. The Index then scores them on a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).
The #1 position (i.e., least corrupt country) was shared by Denmark and New Zealand (score: 91), while Somalia, North Korea and Afghanistan shared last place (each scored 8).
The United States scored 73.
Russia’s government corruption score? 28.
Ok but you did not answer the question.
Who's got Vlad's suicide watch tonight?
Remember - he's in a different spider hole tonight.
Cause the Russian Federation is not Yugoslavia. That was relatively easy to break up for NATO. You know, just stir up ethnic hatred, demonize one party and support the others and eventually bomb and destroy a whole country (Serbia in this case). Biggest mistake Tito ever made was not to pursue nuclear weapons.If he had, NATO would have left YU alone. YU had to disappear because after the fall of the iron curtain it had lost its function as a buffer between NATO and the Warsaw pact.
Ukraine however is not Russia and more like Yugoslavia. Yes, it truly sucks to have a geographical location of strategic importance and not to have the military hardware to protect it from outsiders.
Be sure to watch Vlad's pre-recorded New Year's Day speech, which airs at midnight on January 1st.
It's always good for a few laughs, and Vlad tries - in the space of 10 minutes - to tick off every fraud and Orwellian double-speak which the Soviet Union V2.0 relies upon.
I'm sure 2015 is going to be a bright and prosperous New Year for Mother Russia!
In a perfect world, Ukraine will join NATO, eject the filthy invaders and peace will reign!
Maybe Russia and Germany will invade and divide the Ukraine, or Poland, among themselves.
Germany needs to join Russia in creating the Anti Bolshevik Federation. Bring out some historic banners and get on with the show.
Few realize how much German in Russia generations together.
Gott Mit Uns
So, all the Nazi war memorabilia I've been hoarding from all those gun shows might be the jackpot, is that the implication here?
not really
Maybe if you could sell it in Ukraine.
Seriously - I needed a /sarc here? I gleaned "Anti Bolshevik" and "historic banner", spelled it "Nazi"and you could hear the panties bunching. JFC.
Has anyone read any un-1984ed history?
I expect the next invaders of Ukraine will be from the EU, who will be tired of interrupted gas service caused by bandits there tapping the pipelines.
In a perfect world you would not use "patriot" in your monniker and "I just finished a book" would be a semi-annual announcement.
Whatever you say, Mr Poroshenko.
Amerikan Patriot, are you for real?
Seriously, either its a second degree sarcasm so deep nobody can see it for what it is, or you are a sayanim who deeply hates his masters.
Really, if you want to agitprop zionist interests ( so many different camps and cliques you wouldnt believe, btw) you should approach the subject with subtlety and misdirection;
dont start with *Herp, derp putin huylo lalalala hitler lalala* like you do now, but something more appropriate for a public that is not composed of ukr neonazis, your usual audience.
Try something along the lines of *The Crimea was taken in a helicopter assault by unmarked forces wearing russian kit.Why would Putin use unmarked helicopters if he was sure of his right?*
or *The corrupt Yanushka was replaced by twice as corrupt Poroshenko, two wrongs does not make a right but we could build something with the EU*, or *The only ukr forces that want to fight NR partisans fly nazi flags and wear nazi insignia, true, BUT those are misguided young men born and raised on Holodomor rememberance*
The possibilities are many, and at least you could spark some interesting discussion, and also not seem a total moron.
Remember when a whole slew of Western backed oligarchs dominated Russia a few years ago
Then were so rudely expelled by Putin, to be replaced with his own oligarchs
Banskters don't forget or forgive
Go for the kill shot Putin, come out with a Russian / Chinese backed gold currency
Because if you don't get them first, the Banksters will get you, count on it
Meanwhile we've worked technology on combating IED's.
Who is telling the truth?
The only truth is there are weapons out there that should not be in this day and age or any time.
It is about time that the world melted all nukes, tanks, bombers, gun ships, air craft carriers, artillary, biological and chemical weapons so we may live in peace without fear some nut case at the top pushes a button.
These people who want to protest and stop things, do it for something worthwhile. Stop the world for a few days, scare the shit out of these so called leaders on all sides. Any country producing or selling weopons of war should be black listed, that means every one. I don't trust Obama or Clinton as commander in chief and they are pushing for a fight no one wants.
If someone wants the arctic, give it to the people who live there, that is fair.
Martin Luther King once said war is obsolete. Let us make it that way.
No one can evangelize North Korea with gunpowder and lead.
This meeting with Putin and the pipeline / pipeline through North Korea makes long-term plan share.
Pacify Asia is the first step to fix things commercially.
There is almost no more border conflicts between China, Russia and India, the unknown is India and Pakistan in the Kashmir region.
North Korea and South Korea, by the way, Putin is packing up.
Divide et impera no longer works, the motto is now pacify to market.
hehe.

Ukraine has to prepay January's gas by the 1st.
If Russia sanctions Ukraine, Gazprom doesn't have to accept the payment.
If Russia sanctions EU, Gazprom can suspend its gas contracts with Europe until further notice.
So, just a glitch in the Reich then.
It is time for all real Americans to throw of the yoke of the zionist criminal banksters and their hoax state israel, with their fake chosen people mythology and their fake holohoax crime story. It is time ladies and gentleman to sacrifice the criminal few to save the whole. Side with Russia and launch whatever military action is necessary to stop the spread of this global cancer.
We got fragged by some folks.
Seriously though, the ZWO is circling the drain and about to get flushed down. At some point, some folks in uniform will have no choice but to frag their dear leaders. Hopefully this will occur before any U.S. cities are incinerated or any aircraft carriers are sent to the bottom.
Tough choice. You are a member of the Chief Joints. The political leadership is driving you straight to potential neclear confrontation. You know what could happen. The politicians are corrupt morons.
What do you do?
It takes a unanimous vote of the Chief Joints to take action against a rogue president.
Less likely after the purge.
Can't we just be on our own side?
ZHr style?
Putin became a tough guy only after the U.S. elected a wimp as president.
No, the contrast simply became more obvious after we went Gay.

How witty! Don't you have geometry homework to do?
What "The West" fails to realize is that weak Russia is actually a very bad idea for everyone... in fact if Russia were to experience an actual collapse it would be a nightmare not just for Europe, but for the entire world. Funny how "The West" is trying to punish Russia by making it turn East. If the shit gets real I am pretty sure China will side with Russia.. is it really what "The West" is trying to achieve?!
The big barrier called Putin
It is hard to see how this will end well.
The next US Congress is expected to be even more jingoist than the current Congress
which unanimously voted in effect for an "undeclared war" to throttle Russia,
economically and politically.
The organizations of the MIC and global finance are rewarded (as organizations)by power and wealth for expansion and control. Because their primary organizational goals are to gain power and wealth, all other considerations are denigrated. The vetted and chosen leaders of those organizations (including government) must, predictably, share that narrow vision, and end goal of domination. Any human cost, collateral damage, is ideologically deemed "worth it" to achieve a corporate economic "freedom" that is unreasonably conflated with everything of worth to humanity.
The end goal of corporate capitalism, or croney capitalism, or whatever one wishes to call it, is NOT to increase economic competition,
but instead to monopolize and control (monopolizing resources and markets, controlling finances and workers, and using captured government for expansion and enforcement).
What's most amazing is not the sheer propaganda by those eager for war, or the attempted false flags in Syria [ghoula/sarin] and with Iran [failed green rev coup/laptop of death/mossad posing as CIA], or that most Americans don't know that Netanyahu was invoolved in a nuclear smuggling ring, stealing from the US, or that AIPAC has repeatedly been investigated for spying for Israel but refuses to register as a foreign agent, or that the 9/11 hijackers managed to turn their transponders off at exactly the right places on radar coverage maps to confuse ATCs {etc etc}, or that the US intelligence community noted Iran wasn't working on a nuke, or that Ahmadihejad never said "wipe Israel offf the map" or that the Hamas charter does not call for killing all the Jews, or that Israel started the last round of violence deliberately, and has broken ceasefires almost daily since....
What's amazing is that most people know that the American people were lied into Iraq by the same neocons, and the same media outlets, that have continued to make claims without evidence about Syria, Iran, and Putin - and a slim majority, mostly older, are too stupid to wonder if perhaps they are being lied to again. By the same. fucking. people.

Of course, what Parry won't dare say is that almost all of the "well-connected thieves" were, like Krugman and most of the neocons, not ethnic Russians, but Jews - who are less than 2% of the population of Russia. That seems to be remarkable. That such facts - facts, mind you - can not even be mentioned is perhaps more important than the facts of the matter themselves.

GDP of the US is $17.4 trillion.
GDP of Russia is $2.6 trillion.
If a nuclear war broke out do we say both sides were equal losers?
Or does the USA have a lot moar to lose than Russia?
Or are the Wall Street trolls crapping their pants?
Or maybe Obama doesn't want a nuclear war
We'll soon see who blinks first.
Just Google B61-12 Guided Tactical Nukes that are ready to be dropped from NATO's F-16s.
There is no doubt America produces weapons of Mass Distruction including Chemical/Biolgical Warefare. When you corner an Animal first he shows his teeth then with no way out accept through you......Wait for it....It will come.
How can you win a War? The Ukraine is a Bankers puppet and the USA is the Bully enforcing Bankers wants.
How many American's Youth will DIE? It will help the GDP as well the Elites gaining more of the % of wealth while mainstreet pays in Blood, theirs or Others.
Just too bad OWS never took the power away from the Warmongering bastards. When the Nukes start flying, Many know where the targets should be and what priority that they should have.
Myself.....I would not be on the East Coast of North America .
It's a pipe dream to think a nuclear war will be limited to certain geographic locations.
Consider Witchita-Boeing, St. Louis-Boeing, Warrensburg, Missouri - B-2 operations, Seattle-Boeing, Palmdale-Lancaster, California, Omaha, Nebraska just to jog some thinking
I keep telling Mexicans they might want to go home, as the DC US only wants them as slaves and scapegoats.
Your comment gives them another reason.
And considering that the top of the DC US nuke command has been literally Zionized, they might want to hurry.
The banksters need to repay us.
What is the best way to nuke a nuke armed adversary who can and will retaliate? Get your wardog to do it for you, and bear the brunt of any retaliatory strike. However, first you have to change out those in the nuke command that might be reticent to launch a first strike, and/or are loyal to the people in not wanting them to suffer a nuke strike.
Yup
That'll surely make up for all the submarine destroyed East and Gulf coast refineries and all the sunken oil tankers bound for them.
The oceans will be as black as your leader's, Obama, heart.
And all because he wanted to install Patriot missiles East of the Dnieper, and charged Victoria Nuland to arange it.
Nuland is a neo-con and so is her husband, who worked for both Bush II and Obama. I suspect more that Dick Cheney is still issuing orders from his bunker in Wyoming. And Obama is saying, "yes, sir."
Cheney is a protege of one of the original villains of this epic tragedy, George H W Bush. Who had dealings, when he was Director of the CIA, with Saddam and Noriega.

He should be naming Greater Israel as the main threat. Instead of MAD, announce GIAD, Greater Israel Assured Destruction. If any nuke flies at Russia from the west, Greater Israel gets turned into glass.
That would put a bee in the Zionists' bonnet.
The banksters need to repay us.

Yup, the DC US doesn't fart without Greater Israel's permission, and pays Israel for the privilege (aid $).
The banksters need to repay us.
Hedge accordingly.

The tit-for-tat escalation continues.
The Ukraine Freedom Support Act (UFSA) signed by Pres. Obama on Dec.18 2014 provides for Ukraine's Kiev government to be given lethal military equipment and a few $Million in budget aid, and for money for American agencies like Radio Free Europe to spread the American message in eastern Europe and Russia. It provides for sanctions against Russia and Russians if Russia supplies arms or defensive weapons to a number of countries including Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Syria, and central Asian nations, some of which are allied to Russia by trade and security agreements, or if Russia cuts off natural gas supplies to Ukraine or any NATO nation.
UFSA provides NATO-like privileges for the non-NATO nations Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova, so that these nations can be supplied with military equipment.
Some commentators have called the UFSA an outright declaration of war against Russia.
Natural gas supplies to Ukraine and through Ukraine to Europe were reduced by Russia in 2014 because Ukraine had not paid its gas bill to Russia for 2013 or 2014. A deal was worked out in November for gas deliveries to resume, with Ukraine to make payments on arrears in instalments, and to pay in advance for future gas deliveries. Russia has resumed gas deliveries, and Ukraine has made some payments.
There remain concerns as to whether Russia might cut gas deliveries in the continuing economic war being waged on, and military build up against, Russia by the EU, USA, and NATO.
The website WhatDoesItMean.com is carrying a story dated Dec. 23 "EU In Total Horror As Russia Prepares New Nazi Law", stating that the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has advised EU diplomats that the Parliament of the Russian Federation is considering a law that would require the Russian government to cut off the supply of natural gas, oil, and other natural resources to any nation or military alliance of nations that: 1. Has failed to support the UN resolution condemning attempts to glorify Naziism ideology and denial of German Nazi war crimes; 2. Has used Nazi torture techniques against POWs or civilians; or 3. has conducted mass executions of unarmed civilians.
The new law would apply to: 1. the USA, Canada, and Ukraine for voting against the UN resolution; 2. the US, UK, Australia and 51 allied nations for the torture set out in the just-released Senate report on torture; and 3. the USA and Ukraine for the mass killing of the passengers of Malaysian flights MH17 and MH370, for which the Russians say there is mounting evidence of the complicity of the Ukraine and USA.
This law is also clearly aimed at Ukraine's ultra-nationalist Pravy Sektor and Svoboda neo-Nazis whose members have been formed into Kiev's National Guard and who are implicated in atrocities against the civilian population of east Ukraine, with mass graves having been found, and stories of young women being held as sex slaves for National Guard members and then murdered. These acts would fall within the definition of use of torture, so Russia could, under this law, cut off all gas to the EU countries the EU countries that have expressed support for Ukraine, and all other members of NATO.
Russia warned the USA on Dec.14 against the adoption of UFSA and sanctions under UFSA, and the new Anti-Nazi law is the response to Obama's adoption of UFSA.
The adoption of this proposed "Anti-Nazi" law would mean the immediate cessation of gas and oil shipments from Russia to the EU and Ukraine. That would have severe effects upon industries and require rationing of home heating fuels.

Russia to counteract NATO's boosted presence in Black Sea – envoyhttp://rt.com/news/217839-nato-black-sea-warship/
Moscow is being forced to come up with countermeasures in response to NATO's increased presence in the Black Sea, Russia’s envoy to the alliance said following an announcement on the arrival of another US warship in the area.
“Unfortunately, the Black Sea is becoming a place where non-regional powers have a permanent presence. What they are doing there is unclear,” Aleksandr Grushko said.
“Of course, we will take the necessary countermeasures,” he continued.
Grushko also criticized the North Atlantic Alliance for stationing high alert forces near Russia's borders by holding frequent military drills with counties including Poland and the Baltic states.

Russia’s new military doctrine, adopted on December 26, stresses that the country’s army remains a defensive tool, but lists NATO's military buildup and the United States' Prompt Global Strike concept as main security threats.

NATO sent additional ships to the Black Sea after Russia’s reunification with the Republic of Crimea in March.
The USS Vella Gulf, USS Ross, USS Truxton, and the USS Taylor – as well as warships from other NATO member states – were spotted in the area.
In July, NATO deployed a total of nine vessels to the Back Sea, setting a record in the post-Soviet period.
Despite the Montreux Convention of 1936 allowing warships of non-Black Sea states to stay in the area for no more than 21 days, the alliance has managed to secure its presence by constantly rotating vessels.
