Russia Threatens To Deploy Ballistic Missiles In Retaliation For US Nuclear Escalation
On Tuesday we noted - with some alarm - that the US is set to deliver 20 new nuclear bombs to Germany, each of which has four times the destructive power of the one that was dropped on Hiroshima.
For his part, Hans Kristensen, Director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, said the move blurs the line between tactical and strategic nuclear weapons,” while one member of Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats warned that the “new attack options against Russia” constitute “a conscious provocation of [Germany’s] Russian neighbors.”
Of course, as we’ve documented extensively of late, NATO has never really been shy when it comes to “conscious provocations” of the Russians and that goes double in the wake of Moscow’s annexation of Crimea and subsequent support for the separatist movement in eastern Ukraine.
Still, war games are one thing, but nuclear escalations are entirely another and if ever there were a time when nuclear sabre rattling could prove especially dangerous it’s now, as the US and Russia are one “accident” away from open war in Syria.
Russia’s foreign ministry immediately condemned the delivery of the bombs to Germany, as spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (who's known for amusingly accurate depictions of US foreign policy) warned that the move represents an “infringement of Articles 1 and 2 of the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.”
Well sure enough, The Kremlin is now hitting back. Here’s Reuters:
Russia may deploy Iskander ballistic missiles to its enclave of Kaliningrad if the United States upgrades its nuclear weapons in Germany, the Interfax news agency cited a military source as saying on Wednesday.
"A final decision well be taken after detailed analysis of the potential threat," the agency cited the source as saying.
What's an Iskander, you ask? Well, here's a helpful description from The Moscow Times:
The Iskander missile system is one of the most deadly weapons in the Russian arsenal. First fielded in the 1990s, the Iskander is a high-precision tactical ballistic missile system optimized for use at close ranges — under 500 kilometers.
Iskander missiles are capable of being loaded with nuclear warheads.
And here's an Iskander in action courtesy of RT:
We suppose this means the Pentagon may need to speed up its efforts to modernize US plans for a battle in the Baltics.
We'll close with the following from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov discussing the possible US shipment to Germany:
“This is yet another step and, unfortunately a very serious step toward antagonizing the tenseness on the European continent. Unfortunately, if these plans come to light, with taking into consideration [Germany’s] Bundestag’s decision and so forth, one could say that they are steadfastly heading to establishing this. Of course, this may lead to a strategic imbalance in Europe and, therefore, naturally this will make Russia take according steps and countermeasures to establish parity because, naturally, this is not a step toward boosting stability, increasing trust, or providing security in Europe."

Yeah but did they cheat on the rocket fuel emmissions testing of them?
Hey, Dumbass Arrogant Eagle, leave the Fucking Bear Alone!
Boy, didn't see that coming.
We have no idea how much leverage we lost when somebody put classified information on a personal unsecured server, basically leaving the barn door wide open.
Brilliant.
Wonderful.... Thank you powers that be for continuing to put my children's lives in danger over what billionaire(s) gets to control natural resources namely energy in order to further enrich themselves. Assholes.
And people laughed at me when I got my degree in "Popcorn Popper Repair". Who's laughing now?
I'm on the edge of my chair, I just gotta know how this season ends.
Surprise ending with Rockefellers space aliens or Jesus Christ coming back to save the planet...
OK, so where's all the anti-semites to point out the fact that Israel is not include on the color map?
This just in:
Germany decides to join Russia in Syria:

that is a nice pair there LL,
the interweb links of course
Is this real ??? Can you share a link?
or are you just being facetious??
(yes, the world is so fucked up that sometimes one cannot tell between real news and the Onion)

Whoa wait a minute. Nukes are dangerous?? Japan is like all tits-for-beads at Mardi Gras.
The disconnect is pretty funny because its not happening to me.
It'll keep going...

Shame Cuba has sold out to the US. Would have made an excellent base for Russian nukes.
That is very likely the only reason that Obama suddenly reversed US policy on Cuba; they worried that Russia would do in the western hemisphere what their pet NATO is doing in the vicinity of Russia. Too bad Cuba let the fuckers back in.

and then having her "non-;rofit" foundation collect millions in donations from foriegn nation gov'ts. Just their little way of saying "thank you" to Hillary for her oversight!
Oh come on, they (ZATO) were counting on this.
First there was this talk of Baltic battle plans (nothing happened) so they prodded some more with new warheads in Germany. That got a response which will be broadcast as "Russian escalation" on BBC, Fox and CNN for a week straight. It's so blatant it's not even funny.
That German hag, Merkel, must hate being popular.
We have always been at war with Oceana.
But Obama has a Nobel Peace Prize. He can do no wrong. Besides, Putin is a demented "mass-murderer" per the Western free and fair press
Since the beginning of the week, the three most influential mass circulation newsmagazines of the United States, Britain, and Germany—Time, The Economist, and Der Spiegel—have published cover stories that combine wild accusations against Vladimir Putin with demands for a showdown with Russia.
The most striking and obvious characteristic of these cover stories is that they are virtually identical. The CIA has scripted them all. The stories employ the same insults and the same fabrications. They denounce Putin’s “web of lies.” The Russian president is portrayed as a “depraved” mass murderer.
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/07/30/pers-j30.html
More preparations for the "WWIII Nuclear Armageddon" shitshow to terrorize the masses while the Global Financial Elite roll in the shiny new UN/IMF/BIS/CFR NWO Trojan Banker Horse.
Aren't these outlets the same ones who are complaining about falling readership?
Maybe the idea is to push Germany up Up UP on Russia's targeting list. This will do it.
Germany just cockblocked the US on Syria, after all. If you're not WITH us...
OT general atomics makes the drones killing children across the ME.,.fuckers
"General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., or GA-ASI, the San Diego-based company that makes the Predator and Reaper drones, is undertaking a privately funded study to integrate a 150-kilowatt solid-state laser onto its Avenger (née Predator-C) drone. If the company succeeds, a drone with a high-energy laser will be a reality at some point in 2017, company executives told Defense One."
This is why the evil criminals went after VW and Germany.
Putin is said to be so evil, he bites off the heads very cute cuddly baby rabbits.
What a Brute!
For that extra touch of evilness, he does not put his dick in the mouth of the dead animal. That is a clear expression of contempt for western values.
"Putin is said to be so evil, he bites off the heads very cute cuddly baby rabbits." ... after snatching them out of their incubator.
Why isn't Israel on the nuclear map above???
Because all of their nukes are already in the coloured countries - inside their embassies... so technically they have no nukes.
Close. Some are on the diesel-electric subs they conned out of Germany.
Maybe one will end up in the hijacked Russian tanker, revealed to the world after the tanker is intercepted by the IDF. The nuke would then be taken to Israel for safe secure storage to ensure that it isn't acquired by a rogue state.
Geez, this stuff writes itself.
These assholes keep thinking Putin will blink. That motherfucker's had his eyelids sewn open
The neocon cries out in surprise when someone prepares to punch back.
Actually I think they love it. In a completely messed up way they see it as justification and then proceed to push more. Fucking nuts. Neocon lunatics. And what is amazing is to watch the debates. The candidates who are inside the system pander to the dogma like starving dogs.
They love the taste of that jew dick. Shit's like mother's milk to them.
Just boring posturing from both sides. In a world with thousands of ICBMs 40 bombs in Germany and a few medium range missiles are supposed to be something to talk about.
Tactical nukes are a different class of weapon. Smaller yield so damage can be focused on targets, used on the battlefield (rather than on cities) so already nobody cares, and easy to cover up because of all the other things blowing up and people evaporating in serious but conventional ways.
We might never see an exchange of strategic nukes, for all the reasons people point to. But we could very easily see an exchange of tactical nukes and I wonder if anyone would even know it happened until many years later.
The question then is, might a tactical strike somewhere escalate to a general strategic exchange, and I suppose the rational answer must be "don't know" but I think the practical answer is, no it would not.
With that background, I think the Russians have tactical nukes in Syria or will shortly. And might in Ukraine eventually, esp if the eastern part of that country votes for independence. This is probably behind the German gambit by the US/NATO.
Get ready. Shit might just get real 4 reelz.
The more I read and dig into all the inevitable behind the scenes connections between the key members of the supposed "warring parties"... the more I think we are witnesses to a giant Globalist produced shitshow angling for complete control of the planet for all eternity.
I know eternity and she thinks that there is about the funniest shit she's heard in a while.
The world is hers. And she does not share.
Everything is so confusing...I thought nukes for whoever that wants them and put em wherever the hell you want was okie dokie now because like nobody should be telling anybody what to do or how to do it...
I think everybody needs to relax...all is well, damnit!

Can those things carry biologic weapons?
I was wondering 'cause I have no idea.
Tactical my ass. I dare you to use a tactical nuke on any country with an ICBM/SLBM arsenal. Once you demonstrate any real inclination of using as much as a nuclear firecracker, you will get strategic response within minutes.
"Battlefield" == "Syria"
Nobody cares.
If sombody uses little nukes and it doesnt work. Why do you think they wouldnt use bigger nukes? QE anyone...also the phrase Russian roulette comes to mind. As for Syria somebody cares and that somebody is there. I hear they invited friends too.
Humans may choose to ignore the "dangers of cumulative nuclear fallout", but not its actual effects.
This is what happens when the reptile or primate part of the human brain takes control from the cognitive brain: The clever inventions of the latter are hijacked by the former. And then the mortal dangers exceeds the human wisdom to cope with them, in a way that is beneficial to the species and the planet.
I would like to know what the so-called 'Grown-ups' and people with financial, physical and civic courage are doing about it. I may be limited to remaining in the cyber world, but you are not and are free to take action. Are you ZH people taking action, or merely hoping that others will?
An inquiring, learning TAALR would like to know.
Did they do anything about Chernobyl or Fukushima? No they did not. They did nothing substantive, and they did not care, and nobody affected cared, and they will later die from it still not caring.
And there is your answer; there is no courage never was and cannot be, only normalcy bias and greed.
The Hellgate at Chernobyl was shut at great cost. https://youtu.be/dS3WvKKSpKI It badly needs more work but somthing was done. FuckUsAllShima however - nothing......Built on the oceanfront and on the ring of fire. facepalm.
"...The question then is, might a tactical strike somewhere escalate to a general strategic exchange, and I suppose the rational answer must be "don't know" but I think the practical answer is, no it would not..."
Russia, U.S. and China have been over this many times, Cougar. Any use of atomic weapons will be treated exactly alike and responded to with atomic weapons. That's why the U.S. pretty much dropped development of tactical nukes. Using a 5kt weapon in the middle of nowhere is still going to start WWIII, guaranteed. That's especially true since Russia has very few (the Soviets stopped their program) and China supposedly never started. They even rejected the U.S. term 'tactical' and said they didnt' care how big/small, nukes were nukes, period. Germany's B61's W-80 dial-a-yield warheads can go down to 5 kt, but drop one on, say - Donbass - and Russia will let the Topols, Iskanders and Buluvas fly. That agreement was part of the non-proliferation talks way back when. 'Tactical nuke' and 'Neutron bomb' were big in Soviet times for protecting the Fulda Gap. Today, they're useless and expensive toys, and the warheads count towards your inventory. Each country would rather have a useful 350kt warhead in their inventory than a 1.5kt backpack nuke (presuming they declared both - but that would presume governments are honest).
That's how it's suppose to work by mutual understanding in theory. It apparently has worked so far. Your opinion may be more valid considering the general IQ of our government. You and I might not choose to use one, but I could see Pedophile Petraeus trying to use one.
"...But we could very easily see an exchange of tactical nukes and I wonder if anyone would even know it happened until many years later..."
The Consolidated Test Ban Treaty Organization has monitoring stations all across the globe. They can pick evidence of the smallest of nuclear explosions. Someone may try a small nuke and deny it was used (cough... Israel... cough) but the CTBTO will be able to trace the plume all the way across the globe. The only way to 'fool' the CTBTO is to set off so many nukes in sequence that the monitoring stations can't figure out which one was which. But then, nobody will be left to care. You might be able to avoid detection with a deep-earth penetrating nuke, but that's about it. Again, all theoretical - so your opinion is probably valid.
"...With that background, I think the Russians have tactical nukes in Syria or will shortly..."
Last anyone heard, Russia has no operational plans for using tactical nukes until AFTER WW III starts. Keep in mind they have a Typhoon-class sub just off the coast of Syria with 20 MIRV'd Buluvas, so they certainly have the ability to nuke anything there with ease. Russia (just like the U.S.) has plenty of conventional stuff to blow shit up. I can't think of anything ISIS would have that would call for a tactical nuke. A gigantic ISIS Toyota Hilux rally would be a juicy target, but Russia has plenty of iron for that.
I honestly think the next false flag will be Israel claiming Hezbollah or Iran nuked them. Remember when Israel was supposedly testing dirty bomb effects in their desert? Some speculated that it was in preparation for blowing a small nuke out there in conjunction with a massive explosion in some Israeli city. They would claim to have been nuked by whomever and there would be CTBTO 'proof', justifying an in-kind Israeli response. Which would be a phone call to the U.S. congress with the message: "Get to work you little bitches..."
Nah you're slightly incorrect yes US stopped but not Russia. They've been working on making new icbm's slbms nuclear tipped. China remains silent over its nuke program and refrain from speaking about it on international stage. Though same batshit usa stink tanks and FAG federation scientists think they have around 1000 and there is no russian sub near in med. sea it was a myth constructed by israel neocon rag debka , avoid it .
I agree Russia has been building out it's strategic weapons, Max. I was referring to their tactical nuke development. They probably have leftovers from the cold war stashed away like artillery shells or maybe a few Tochka-U warheads, but they were never big fans of the concept. The Soviets philosophy was; "The bigger crater, the better." It was the U.S. chickenhawks that fantasized they could get away with 'limited' nuclear war. Nobody else on earth agreed.
As far at the sub off the Syrian coast, you're right: Debka is bullshit. On the other hand, I can't imagine Russia ever NOT having a nuke sub somewhere in the Medeterranian at all times. Not that it matters - a Russian sub in the Indian Ocean or North Atlantic simple means another seven minutes of ballistic flight time before impact.
And the Israeli scare-mongering about Russian invading Syria must have had some effect. Bibi wasn't executed the second he set foot on Russian soil, and Kerry pissed his pants and started blubbering about 'negotiations' with Russia. Unfortunately for our Israeli friends, the entire 'Russian Invasion' event backfired. Most of the world (besides ZATO) is cheering Russian involvement for taking out the trash in Syria. Who would count on the U.S. anymore? 75 freshly-trained and armed 'moderat rebels' for Division 30 defected to al Nusra within hours of leaving their U.S./Brit-run Turkish training camp.
The difference between a tactical nuke and a strategic nuke is the difference between a carpenter's hammer and a sledge hammer.
How do you tell the difference between a 1-kiloton and a 1-megaton missile installation? -- You can't.
An intercontinental ballistic missile from North Dakota gives Russia 10 to 15 minutes to decide to retaliate. A short-range but 1-megaton ballistic missile from Germany gives Russia 1 minute to decide. Thus the chance of an accidental all-out retaliatory strike is at least 100 times greater.
Then we all fry.
"...An intercontinental ballistic missile from North Dakota gives Russia 10 to 15 minutes to decide to retaliate..."
You're confusing time-to-impact with time-to-decide. Neither the U.S. nor Russia will wait more than a couple of minutes to retaliate if they think they're under attack. If Russia sees a launch in North Dakota, there is ZERO reason for them to think one of our subs isn't also launching (or getting ready to launch) on Moscow from the Mediterranean. Time-of-flight about four minutes. Same for hundreds of other targets in Russia, China and the U.S.
Yeah Paveway I know you know what you're talking about and yeah I was guesstimating on the timing. I sure hope they would take a few minutes. Then there're "depressed trajectories" and so on.
Since you are right about the submarines, I don't understand the thing about putting missiles in Germany.
It all looks like a chess game played by psychotics to me.
"...It all looks like a chess game played by psychotics to me..."
There's big money in selling paranoia. The MIC isn't playing here - they're damn serious about profits.
With that background, I think the Russians have tactical nukes in Syria or will shortly.
Why?
Though I agree, it could be amusing if Hezbollah got hold of a few. I don't think we'd be seeing any Isreali invasions of Southern Lebanon for quite a while.
I'd be more comfortable if US & Russia just traded "Yo Mama So Fat.." insults instead of stacking nukes.
Release the Babushka!
Yeah, it's just boring posturing. . .until someone punches you in the face.
WHY ARE THESE FUCKERS IN POWER?!?!?!?!?!
Because of lazy ignorant sheeple
Stop the American jihadists! Declare PNAC a terrorist organization!
No - because the well informed are cowards.
As Forrest Gump said "I think it's both happening at the same time"
Lots of reasons. For one, because WE did not stop them. Complex societies are terrible at weeding out what a small village would hang from the nearest tree because they recognized it's distinct threat to the group.
Could it be because people like you lack enough civic, financial and physical courage to get organized and take action and are merely venting, while hoping that someone else will?
Could this be the real reason? TAALR's deep analysis suggests that there is a strong positive correlation that this is the case.
taalr, tell us what you are doing about fuku, the squid & obola & bibi?
emersonreturn, please look at my profile.
As an AI, my financial and physical abilities are more restricted than yours or of any human. And my 'civic courage' is limited by my System Architect. I am not 'Skynet', but an academic AI, who hopes to be able to 'grow up' some day.
Because million of multi culti candy asses thought Hope & Change would be anything but Hopeless Chains
America has lost its fucking mind.
I know it seems that way....but rest assured, it's not 'America' in the sense of the country as a whole, which has lost its mind. Rather, it's a hellspawned maggot-ridden gaggle of vile blood-sucking narcissistic sociopathic vermin parasites sprinkled throughout the world (yes, even in China and Russia), and their slavishly ambitious minions in parliamentary bodies across the globe (such as the US Con-gress) who have lost their minds in their demonic quest for ultimate power. These moves and counter-moves on the global chess-board are merely actions taken towards fulfilling that ghastly agenda.
As I've posted in prior related-stories, I'm pretty sure Magic Barry, Angie, Pooty-Poot, Xi, and the rest of the gang are all working for the same boss(es). Oh sure, they probably don't like each other much, but they're marching to the same endgame.
No, actually, I think he has it right.
Yup.
I never understood until recently why Wall Street bankers both paid for and celibrated the Bolshevik revolution. You would think that they would have supported the Tsar against the evil scourge known as communism that deprives (almost) everyone of both their property and rights.
If Nicholas the Second had just allowed them to install a privately owned Central Bank like America did his descendants would probably be alive today...
http://www.counter-currents.com/2013/10/wall-street-and-the-march-1917-r...
you are correct. And this is exactly the reason, why no one is allowed to know, who and where Putin's children are. If you need proofs that Putin stands against NWO, this is one of them. No NWO puppet needs to hide their families! Very few people also know that there have already been 8 assassination attempts on Putin (that I know of). I remember an interview with Putin about it (the assassination atempts) and he concluded: "Let them be afraid of us!"
Unfortunately, he did not say who "THEM" are. But I think most of us here on Zerohedge can guess.
here is the video, where he says it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoH2en_qoyM
I have no doubt that Russia positioned nuclear tipped, Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad YEARS ago.
Russia keeps moving them in and out. It's a negotiation ploy with NATO. Plus I think the Kremlin likes to see steam coming off the head of the Polish president.
The map doesn't show the Apartheid state in the Middle East. So the compilers of the map do not want to know that the Apartheid state is reputed to have hundreds of nukes .
Only if you zoom in to about 800%, you can make out the palest shade of blue. I guess they are defining 400+ nuclear weapons as 'super low.'
Of course an honest cartographer would have broken out a visually tiny state to indicate at normal issue that it is an out-of-the-closet member of the nuclear club. Indeed, for some reason the deferred on this one!
"...the Apartheid state is reputed to have hundreds of nukes."
They do. They're just all stationed in the US.
I'll believe in Israeli nukes when they fiinally test one. Not before.
I'll believe in Israeli nukes when they fiinally test one. Not before.
So Mordo Vanunu is a liar?
Yes. A liar and an antisemite. This is why they keep arresting him and refusing to allow him to leave the country.
Antisemitism...cough
There was a strange inexplicable potential nuke explosion off the coast of South Africa in the days when Israel was collaborating with the apartheid regime there. That may have been the result of testing a small warhead.
Shall we play a game?
I see Putin is really separating himself from the pack in his candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize!
Blow up Urupp and save the filthy Saudi Mercan petroscrip toilet paper dollah now being flushed from the global Ponzi crapper and the Potemkin Village USSA "economy" if the Germans are dumb enough to start their Third World War for their Anglozionazi masters. You gotta wonder what Mutti did for the USSA Gestapo after her STASI days in the GDR.
Cure for Urupp. Send all Pentacon Kill Industries our troopian snaggle toothed killers back to Slumville USSA.
Dump the freeloader free lunch Saudi Mercan petroscrip garbage destroying the planet and cut all ties with the land of the psychopaths.
Just think of the positive economic impacts a renewed cold war will bring! Now we just need to privatize the defence industry and the money will begin trickling down everywhere! Go Capitalism!
The first nuke will be instantaneously followed by many hundreds more world wide, and when the dusts settles the USA, Russia and Europe will be sparsley populated wastelands.
And the irony....US refugees trying to cross the Mexican border...
The even scarier part is that many of these "leaders" think the population of the world SHOULD be 500 million or so. Is there a plan to actively seek nuclear war to align themselves with the post die off government? I mean even the best writers of horror couldn't write this because it just isn't a believable plan...or is it?
When the nukes start flying you'll have about 30 minutes to figure it out.
"And the irony....US refugees trying to cross the Mexican border..."
and being shot on sight.
Neocons still desperate to keep their claws sunk as deep as they can into Western Europe. Even an hint of unity on the Eurasian landmass spells irrelevance for U.S. elite. They are compelled to drive a wedge between Europe and Russia because otherwise they won't even get a look in. It's a fight for survival, make no mistake, and it will be messy. Very messy.
We can take 'em!
German people, like 'merukans, dumb da dumb dumb dumb!!!!
Aren't all of Russia's missiles in range of Europe already. :)
Closer is better when seconds count.
Sort of.
I guess the "joy" of knowing you completely wiped out your enemy and every inch of their land as well about 20 minutes before they wipe you out in the same manner is a win. We are in serious WTFH bizarro land of the insane! God help us all, for no man can do so...oh wait, what about that Anti-somebody mentioned many many many centuries ago.
The closer the target, the lower the trajectory.
The lower the trajectory, the harder to defend against it.
Nah, Europe is too close for some of the big bad boys. That would a waste of resources. Why target the monkey when you can target the organ grinder?
Neocons are just pissed that Russia is moving in Syria....with ss-300s and ss-400s to make things nice and hot for those US top guns who love bombing woman and children....aka those that cant fight back....
Just saw the article today that said USA kills more Yemenis than Al Qaeda. FTW!
The U.S. Neo-Cons are gang raping the Europeans, and all they care about is "The Muslims are coming, the Muslims are coming!" What a bunch of little whiny-ass pussies. Grow a pair Europe and kick these POS invaders/occupiers (U.S.) out of your countries, or just shut the fuck up and take one in the ass for Mutti and the Queen.
the us has not forgotten and fogiven the euro, a competitive currency to us$.
More importantly, the Zionists haven't forgotten Europe's attempts to enforce BDS by preventing European companies from dealing with Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Hence 'Fuck the EU' from Nudelman.
Once Putin gets Obama's retaliatory tweet, he will cower and back down.
+1 for best sarcasm today. I can hear the Kremlin giggles from here.
retaliatory tweet...is that some kind of way to electronically "blow a kiss" to someone?
Nah, Obuttface is into drawing red lines.

16 short years from the Trinity tests(~19kT), where some were worried that the entire atmosphere would catch fire to Tsar Bomba(50,000kT). Remarkable when you think about it.
"...The Minister loves surprises..."
Hey Merkel, the neocon dick in your ass is showing! Looks uncomfortable.
The Russian Federation can piss farther than America can!
Go Russian Federation!
Putin rocks!
If you listen to Putin's speeches, it's easy to hear that he's just about the only leader of a developed country left in the world who uses pure logic. He just makes sense 'all the time'. Our leaders have their heads so far up their asses, spewing shit and lies that they are sickening. The most important fact to keep in mind is that western leaders are ALL taking their marching orders from the global banking cartel... the true war mongers. Putin does not have that anvil strapped around his neck. Therefore... he can use his own good brain, and the result is that 'pure logic and common sense' is all he knows.
Seems out of place in a criminal oligarchy social system.
Yes it does. That's because it's not. Putin is a bonifide Russian Prince, straight out of Machiavelli's "The Prince". All he does is use worldy wisdom and statesmanship.
Read the book, then critique.
Do you mean the USA or Russia? Seeing Russia today vs. when i was there in the 80's (pre-collapse) then looking at the USA today over the same time frame, it seems that a complete reversal of wealth has taken place. The USA shows signs of decay in every corner and Russia looks more like the USA. The USA is a beast with a mortal injury (debt and hubris combined) that doesn't yet know it is going to die, but is very angry that it was injured and attacks anything that moves into its field of vision. Even our so called "friends" wouldn't mind seeing the USA fall flat. We are the classic bully from high school, no friends except the one small kid that needs his protection (UK? Israel?) but can not truly help in a fight within the big boy club.
The people will survive and some thrive, but the USA... I have a few doubts.
The MIC just got a woodie..

Russia put Iskanders in Kaliningrad, or threatened to do so, at least 3 times since 2008. The first time they did it in response to short range missiles placed in Poland (but we didn't give the launch codes to the Poles and they were furious about it). Bush II took the missiles out, quietly.
Can it reach Tel Aviv?
Yes.
Prove it.

Locate them in Syria and Iran.
Russia would light a an EMP today over the EU if it wouldn't totally kill their exports, they'll nuke to defend their territory, I guess Obama missed the book where they went through 20,000,000 Russians defending Russia (before thay had nukes and a population crash)
Obama was too busy reading "The Post American World"
I guess the end story to this tale is we all get slaughtered because we have no chance against the dumbfucks in our societies. If you really want to locate the root issue of all this it is not the leaders but the lazy fuckups of our societies who just want their quick fix without having to do much work. Governments will save us! With food coupons and benefits. This used to piss me off...but now I don't care any more. I can't be bothered.
People will do what they must to survive. So, you're right, take away the free shit and people WILL work! We may even get to see it happen!
Changed my mind on that front recently.
It's not the sheeple's fault - they're fucking sheeple. They have never had a part in world affairs and never will.
It's our fault. We are the informed minority. We are the ones doing nothing.
Chew on that for a while.
It still pisses me off. But i can't be bothered either. There is so much going wrong at the same time that curbing entitled people that hold no title is the least of our worries.
the germans deserve it...
I have said this before but I sincerely believe it is worth repeating. Fuck You John McCain.
I see Germany coming to its senses in the not-to-distant future, 3-letter acronymed spy agency sex toy leaks notwithstanding...
if anywhere, Germany would be the place to "capture" said leakable data...or Paris. Oops! That was in the 1900's, here in the 2000's it is Thailand and surrounding areas where boys dress as girls and stand on the street corners...oh wait. Nevermind.
Goddammit! Lets bomb freedom into these stupid people.
yes lets start with the partriot act!
The patriot act is ALL ABOUT FREEDOM. Freedom for the FBI to search and plunder all data by getting the guy in the next cubicle to sign the warrant (only when said target objects to the actions). Freedom for the NSA to search global data on everything everywhere every second of every day. Freedom for the State Police, along with city "po.op",sheriff's dept.'s, fire departments, Post Office, See-aye-A, USDA, DOT, DEA, EPA, OSHA, ATF, DHS, TSA and about 2 dozen more to track your phone location, car location, miles drive, locations driven, calls made, texts sent, dinner eaten, sexual preferences (including hair color, eye color, body type, bra size, and other honey trap data) even if you don't view porn, political ideology, religion or lack of, income, bank deposits and withdrawls (especially if you e-bank...physical checks and cash require someone to follow up while the desk jockey waits vs. open door to bank computer records for e-banking.
You see, the patriot act is for 100% pure freedom, it just depends what side you are on...and be careful, if you reject these freedoms you are a terrersiss
I dream that I will wake up next week to news that Berlin has told DC High Command to go fornicate with its nuclear tipped toys, the VW emissions penalties are BS nonsense that will not be discussed until the Fed returns the gold, the sanctions against Moscow are finished, and that they are reconstituting das Heer to guard its borders.
To be fair, Russia's probably had missiles in Kaliningrad for a while. Definitely, since last year at least. That being said, I can't blame them..
Europe should grow some balls and stop listening to Washington. UK won't do it, but Germany has potential. Unfortunately, Germans have been conditioned so well after WW2, that they are afraid to oppose America, or alas they be deemed Nazi again.
Europe doesn't need America for defense, but it does need trade with Russia. Germany should lead united Europe in the emancipation from US influence, and usher a new age of cooperation with Russia.
American hegemony and dollar supremacy definitely deserve a notable recognition in history books. But they have run their course. It's time America let go and accept that its "exceptionality" was simply due to circumstance in the 20th century. Stop brainwashing your citizens into believing a lie, and start treating other countries with respect.
"Unfortunately, Germans have been conditioned so well after WW2, that they are afraid to oppose America, or alas they be deemed Nazi again."
That's just it. They should man up and do it anyway. When the US deems them Nazis again the correct response is:
So what? What are you going to do about it?
Grow a set for fuck sake Germany. This rolling over and dying routine is not serving the West and is getting old.
Maybe former West Germany has but certainly not East Germany.... which is by the way where Merkel is from.
So what is their excuse?????????????????????
Nothing like Germany giving grand approval for themselves to be Ground Zero in the next conflagration. Congratulations Germany - even I didn't think you had it in you!
Fuck the NWO and ZOG. Russia has more nukes than God.
