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."

Time for American people and American militia to declare war against the maniacs and dual-citizens that have taken over US government-This is the only way to save the country.
Million man march on the Fed and the White House all excercising their 2nd Ammendment Rights ought to do the trick.
NEVER "gonna" happen. They would need to do it on the weekend and that is football time and nothing else for them... i don't have a clue why, but it is. It is truly a religion to them. They are too busy working to keep up with their neighbors...who has the bigger lawn tractor and such. America can't possibly begin to thing life is more than the number of dollars available on their credit cards, that is just unthinkable (yet they all cry that evil banksters robbed them of x when they hit hard times).
If it didn't happen during the great socialism of America, it won't happen. If it does happen, We more than likely will wish it didn't, because those moments are when true totalitarian governments gain power.
"If it does happen, We more than likely will wish it didn't, because those moments are when true totalitarian governments gain power."
What do you think you have now?
When it comes to Russia, listen to this video and you can skip to near the end where Professor Siefe addresses how the Reagan era used flawed math and wrongly accused Russia on nuclear testing. US geologists and all said don't do it, but Reagan did it. This somehow will come back again for discussion, I bet.
The rest of Charlie's video is good too, Context is Everything'..how you get duped with numbers and math, does a good job with it and ironically the talk was given at Google's NY headquarters, telling employees there how they get duped...love irony..This is also the leading video to over at my Killer Algorithms video page.

Vichy Washington does not represent the American people - with very few exceptions.
They represent the banks, the MIC, and Israel - the unholy trinity.
[only 3 disgusting Israel Firster hasbara trolls expressing displeasure at mentioning Israel as having bought and paid for the finest congress money can buy??]
What a load of bloviating Russian RT uber-crap.
Why don't you tell the rest of us which news sources YOU deem reliable, Element.
Yeah whatever moron, I'm not interested in 'news services', I'm interested in facts and evidence, see below retard.
Still contending with some vaginal sand, eh?
oh don't bother him he is an intellectually challenged fanboy .
wow - you sure showed me!

RAMPING UP ... for Cold War II between NATO and Russia.
I don't know why people think they can "re-play" the Cold War of the 1960's, and still get the same results today.
This is the 21'st Century. It's a totally different reality.
The outcome for a Second Cold War ... is a complete unknown.
Yeah, weaponized Twitter changed the whole frikkin' calculus....

The great fear with tactical nukes is that the 'West' has a very thin line with not much depth. A couple tactical nukes and Russia can roll into France without ground opposition. But I doubt Russia has such plans!
this is what happens when daylight shines on the truth, iraq, Libya, Egypt, Ukraine, Syria, soon to be turkey, and many others.
I guess one good thing for Germany, ww111 won't go on for yrs., maybe 1hr..
one other good point no more political bs, world-wide all politicians, and bankers will be put on the soon to be extinct rolls.
The currently deployed US Army, and also Poland itself already operate the HIMARS rocket artillery system within Poland, and it can fire rapid-reload salvos of the precision-guided ATACMS ballistic missile.
HIMARS
MGM-140 ATACMS
The distance by road from Gdansk Poland to Kaliningrad is only 167 km, and that's not even a straight line. The straight-line distance is more like ~120 km.
The range of the rapid-firing HIMARS ATACMS missile is at least 300 km so it can already easily nail any target in Kaliningrad, including the Iskander launchers geolocated by mini UAVs, airborne standoff recon, and satellites.
The dopey Russians; firstly do not know they are total dopes, and pwned; and secondly, they never seem to know when they should keep their bloody trap shut. They can't help themselves but gloat like morons and look like idiots, in their vein attempt to be more than they really are. Now that they've openly made such a stupid threat against a NATO state, and prance about like utter morons, it just means a C-17A full of ATAMCS will be arriving shortly, and deployed all over NE Poland - for about the next 30 years or so.
To reinforce those that are already there.
Real clever bastards these Russians are.
You sound like you're trying to comfort yourself, not convince anyone.
Why would I care, I'm not Polish, I'm other side of the planet, I'm just observing and pointing out how stupid these Russians are to talk crap like that, and think it will serve their interests, in any way they would want. And then they will bitch and snivel when their situation all turns to shit, and won;t be able to figure out why.
I don't need no comfort, I prefer and demand the discomfort of hard unyielding observations.
Whatever makes you happy, man.
I'm glad you're OK with it, I was worried you might disprove of the voicing of facts and counterpoint.
You would not know a fact is it shit on your head.
People like you are the fucking problem. You are, to use your own words, on the other side of the world, yet you cannot help yourself but get into a extremely confrontational pattern here where quite frankly you should just shut the fuck up and mind your own business.
And that's coming from a cat that's so confused it barks. lol :D
No, those are facts I posted, and you can go to hell if you don't like them, but do like RT's little fairy tales instead.
Confrontation at dickwad. haha :D

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS
Yeah, sometimes they just bite at your ankles though, so need a good kicking.
He isn't done shagging on usa weapons superiority and fantasizing over US geopolitical failures (oops i mean success ) and their mind-boggling strategies . let him pass , don't break his tiny perfect world of american milt stuff superiority otherwise he won't sleep .
An angry, lonely 17 year old boy, probably with a bunch of military-style/camo t-shirts and the like... probably has written some variation of "Muslims are {all} bad/evil" almost as much as he's pulled on his own miserable cocklet.
Sad.
The sort of guy you send first through the door....
But you misunderstand little Muppet! It's not about saying the other side is so good, it's just to show you how deluded and fucked Russia's side is, via it wasting so much energy just lying to itself about all these things. Russia is actually still a weak and unimpressive conventional force, it is also small, it is also poor. But its people have been so mind-fucked to the opposite fantasy, via chest-beating ultra-nationalism, and an endless sewer pipe of idiotic propaganda, that they don't even realize they're being encouraged to pick fights with powers that can wipe-out Russian air power and naval power, rapidly and very easily.
The West is a monster, a terrible enemy to have, it is ruthless and totally calculating, and decades ahead in development. Open your eyes, you don't want to keep tweaking something that big and that nasty, because the west has begun to take it to into its head that Russia will have to be dealt with. Where as three years ago no one gave a shit about stacking up forces against Russia. Everyone liked Russia!

Russia does not rule out future NATO membership
"Great powers don't join coalitions, they create coalitions. Russia considers itself a great power." (Photo: European Commission)
By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS, 1. Apr 2009, 07:28
Russia does not rule out NATO membership at some point in the future, but for the moment it prefers to keep co-operation on a practical, limited level, Moscow's envoy to NATO Dmitry Rogozin told EUobserver.
"There is no such necessity at this moment, but we cannot rule out this opportunity in the future," Mr Rogozin said in a phone interview on Tuesday (31 March), one day after Polish foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Russia should join the military alliance, if it meets the membership criteria.
"We need Russia for the resolution of European and global problems. That is why I think it would be good for Russia to join NATO," Mr Sikorski had said at an acacdemic symposium in Poland, as quoted by Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza.
The same view was echoed on Wednesday at a civil society event in Brussels called the "Shadow NATO summit," aimed at feeding the debate around the future of the military alliance.
"The problem is not that NATO extended to Russia's borders, but that it stopped there," said Gareth Evans, President of the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based advocacy group. "NATO should welcome Russia in its inner ring, provided it complies with the human rights criteria," he added, while admitting that this was not a short-term option, especially after the Georgian war.
However, Mr Evans stressed that allies should at least start to "conceptualise" Russia's potential NATO membership.
On the other hand, a British academic with the Loughborough University, stressed that such an option "had to be looked at soberly," pointing at Russia's membership of two other international organisations - the Council of Europe and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) - where Moscow was hampering deployment of election monitors in Russia itself and in its neighbouring countries.
Russia's NATO membership has never been seen as a serious option, while Moscow maintains that it sees the alliance as a threat. NATO came about in 1949 as a US-led military alliance guaranteeing the security of the then Western European allies from any potential attacks by the Soviet Union.
Once the USSR collapsed, eastern European countries requested NATO membership and underwent major military, police and rule of law reforms before joining the alliance. Russia has fiercely opposed NATO enlargement to its neighbourhood, which it still considers under its sphere of influence.
"We don't consider it necessary to make any concessions in terms of our sovereignty and we are capable of solving all the threats in an independent way. What we are ready for is to create some temporary coalitions, but at the moment we are not happy about many things happening in NATO," Mr Rogozin said, adding that this was a reason why membership was out of the question at this point.
"Great powers don't join coalitions, they create coalitions. Russia considers itself a great power," the Russian ambassador stressed.
He said Russia wanted to be NATO's "partner," provided the alliance took into account Moscow's "interest" - a catchphrase alluding to NATO enlargement to its neighbouring Ukraine and Georgia, which it fiercely opposes.
Mr Rogozin strongly criticised NATO's solidarity with Georgia during and after Russia's invasion of its territory following Tbilisi's attack on South Ossetia.
"We are extremely frustrated and astonished by NATO's actions in August-September last year, when our soldiers were killed and instead of support, we only saw the hypocrisy of their policy. NATO turned out to be the only organisation that sided fully with the aggressor," he said.
"For the moment, we don't see any real change in the organisation, we only see the organisation getting ready for the wars of past Europe," Mr Rogozin concluded.
NATO's new concept to involve Russia
NATO leaders on Saturday are set to give a green light to the drafting of a new security concept, as the alliance celebrates 60 years of existence. Its current strategic concept dates back to 1999 and does not include new threats such as terrorism, cyberattacks or energy security.
NATO's relationship with Russia, now resumed after the Georgian war, is set to be developed in concrete areas of co-operation, a senior US official told journalists in Brussels on Monday, ahead of the NATO summit.
The new administration in Washington has pledged to "hit the reset button" with Russia, as it needs to cooperate with Moscow in order to achieve progress in difficult dossiers such as Afghanistan and Iran.
Mr Rogozin said the NATO-Russia council (NRC) was so far "a body where scholastic discussions were held."
The same view was shared on Monday by the US official. "The problem with the NRC so far was that it didn't focus on content. There was a lot of structure, but no content. We want now to structure cooperation more practically, in areas where you can achieve results, instead of insisting on things that won't happen," the US official said.
The Russian envoy said that in order for the NRC to work properly, NATO had to "take part in the discussion not from a bloc approach, but in our national capacities, not in the form of 26+1 but in the form of 27 members of the NATO-Russia council."

See! The West loves Russians!
Someone else, some devious liars, up to no good, told the Russian people that we don't like them.
But it's all bullshit.
Yeah, Ivan has no idea about any of that but you do.
Fuckwit.
You're a real joker.
We had a guy like you when I was in the service - always makin' jokes.
They blew his brains out all over the Pacific.
Not so funny now...
Note again that you are totally incapable of responding with facts and rational counterpoint.
Until you can, you can blow your drivel out of your arse.
Really - I'm "totally incapable"?
Big talk from a guy who loves to cite to wikipedia.
http://www.janes.com/article/40907/missile-profile-9k37-buk
Again, numbnuts - why do you think you know something which Ivan does not know and is unprepared for?
You also miss the larger point - the failure of any conventional system makes reliance on nuclear packages more and more likely.
And no, Susan - we can not shoot down most of what Ivan would throw at us.
This is a lose lose situation - stop measuring your tiny dick and missing the larger points.
Oh, so now it's a "lose-lose" situation, huh? But up the thread you and others like you, want to cheer-lead Russian morons, who are trying to pretend they have some insurmountable 'superiority' position.
haha! ... real cute.
Tell me; Why didn't you have 'the right stuff' to point this out to the dumbshit Russian-Slav contingent infesting zh and its fellow traveler moronosphere?
Why did you wait for someone else to do it, if you knew all this? (yeah, right ... clearly didn't)
And why are you bitching about the fact that someone did?
And why are you taking issue with it at all? ... huh? ... huh?
And ... are you a Russian troll by any chance?
Yeah, real cute ...
I think people like you were surprised that the Lebanese resistance could blow up Israeli tanks because Israel has, like, the best shit.
Cheaper, more reliable, and simpler Russian anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic tech mean that the United States can not do whatever it wants in Ukraine or Syria or elsewhere.
Rather than debate someone who doesn't know very much about the topic such as yourself, I merely averred that in the case of massive eschange of conventional fire - any superiority essentially just ups the nuclear ante, so getting into it is lose-lose, debates by know-nothing nationalist schoolgirls aside.
Of course, it's odd that I have some duty to lecture anyone you think isn't following the correct, neoconservative/Zionist narrative.
Every neocon has a plan - until they come up against someone who can punch back.
And you, you stupid fuck, keep mindlessly repeating the same sort of chickenhawk agitprop that one can not even avoid - it is all over the MSM.
If you don't like being in a Fox/Drudge echo chamber of American exceptionalism, Jesus, and Israel First - maybe you ought to go find a nice quiet spot to fuck yourself?
Hope this helps,
hugs and kisses,
I.G.
Yup .. yup ... again you just can't stay on-topic ... you have no idea what to say ... so you are always forced back to stupid boring trolling crap on totally unrelated topics, primarily about jooooooooz! ... and pretend it's all in some contrived way made 'interesting', 'informative' and 'relevant' via the repeated inclusion and interjection of references to joooooooozzz!.
Terminal fuckwititis.
that was on topic, Rachel.
YOU'RE JUST STUPID.
Here's the topic fool.

You have no capacity to add anything of value to it.
Duh...unlike usa abm systems russia abm systems can shoot down BM's with ease and your precision will be of no use if they blind/destroy your comm. You fantasize about murikan military stuff not an issue but stop with your deluded diatribe. Sadly Russia does not suffer from American disease destroying baltics isn't an issue for Russia but there is nothing to gain except for murika defense contractors to sell some shiny stuff which make fanboys go cheeky .

Now let me get this straight ... SAMS .... shoot down ... ballistic missiles?

You seem to find wiki reliable, Rachel.
Where else did you come across what you try so hard to pass off as knowledge?
Oh my, ... ar ... are those ... wiki references? ... wow!? I thought you hated wiki! :D
The topic is a 300 km theater tactical ballistic missile from Poland to Kaliningrad. If you can't stick to the topic and address it directly, and have nothing to say but prove your stupidity beyond all reasonable doubt, then kindly shutup and fuck-off as SAMS and ABMs are not new information to any one here, uninteresting, uninformative dimwitted troll-boy.
"Now let me get this straight ... SAMS .... shoot down ... ballistic missiles?" {INDICIA OF BEMUSEMENT}
I know you're fairly dumb - but let me walk you through this.
YOU made this absurd claim.
You were then provided a link to a source YOU USE {so you can't whine about the source}
which PROVED the statement you apparently found laughingly absurd.
You were wrong.
Changing the parameters ex post facto is just pathetic - the milk was already spilled, Rachel, let it go.
":D"
No, max steel troll made that claim, here it is:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-23/russia-threatens-deploy-ballist...
I only laughed at the idiot. But you take the cake, not only are you incapable of being on topic, you are also incapable of following the discussion!
And you have nothing of value to say! hahaha
oh!.. oh! ... and now some bonus joooooooooo slurs too!
omg what an idiot
..
Don't let the facts hurt ya mate. s-300 variants are meant to intercept BM's . As i said you arent done with your fanboysim yet so keep making your unsubstantial comments . Ignorance is stupidity .
Really!! So SAMS like, shoot off into the sky and like, knock stuff down 'n all that?
Wow! That's new! Never seen that a million times before!
Thanks max!! I do believe the West might have one or two SAMs that can do that too.
Maybe you should call RT and tell them the Iskander is ferked ... it'll just get intercepted before it hits.
Because SAMs do that I hear, really, they do. It's all tuurrruuue!
How do you think they'll take this unforeseen news?
you missed somethig in your musings there - the Poles themselves.
Do you actually think that they are 100% behind this????
Go to Poland and ask any of them their opinion of the Germans. They hate the Germans lot more than the Russians.
Hate for the Germans is pretty universal there.. Russians more selective....
OK, what's really your game? Just a pootie sycophant, or a full blown pootie troll? Because if you were paying attention to the Baltic states, and Poland in particular, then yes, they are practically begging for NATO and the US to forward base, like yesterday. And you may hate Germany but Poland has moved on long ago. Oh I forgot, you don't like me voicing facts so much. Which is a typical trait of the native wild pootie fluffer in its natural habitat.

A little more clever than the dopey bastard anglo saxons!
That's a claim not substantiated by the evidence to hand, the Russians are so clever they completely collapsed almost back to peasant levels only 25 years ago.
The Anglo-Saxon world did the inverse.
But your conclusion is? .... yeah ... mmmkay
Russians still can't face the most obvious facts without a blackhole of denial opening up, followed by radid-fire blame-shifting, distraction and baloney production.
yeah, the financial rape of Jewish oligarchs and economists had nothing to do with that, right, stupid fuck?

right, junk away - I mentioned "Jews" and it doesn't matter if those are the FACTS - if its not 100% positive about all things Israel or Jews - it should never be uttered - is that right?
Go fuck yourself, stupid.
That's correct sir. Any facts that shows the jew as less than perfect in an imperfect world full of imperfect people is not allowed.
Remember 6,000,000,000,000 died in the Holocau$t, soooo no negative press for them.
That's not true. You are underestimating the number that died in the Holocaust. That makes you anti-semitic. The true number was 6,000,000,000,001.
The best way to describe Element can be found in the Urban dictionary:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=narcissistic+asshole
Someone who is so incredibly self absorbed that they are blinded by their general assholeness towards others. No one likes him but everyone is friends with him. All the ladies love him even though he is incapable of expressing emotion because well... he's an asshole. Only of the male gender. Girl 1: Wow isn't Ben so beautifulGirl 2: Ya until you realize he's a narcissistic asshole
Bu ... but ... if I was a narcissist that would be upsetting ... or ... maybe my ego is so vast that it's occluded the capacity for offense to take place! ... yeah ... that'll be it! I can't speak to the 'arsehole' part of your claim ... that may be true ... I'll let others decide. :D
Now ... the poor topic is getting lonely ... the obfuscation and distraction is getting it down ... it weeps for attention! ... maybe it's narcissistic? :D
oh boy
LINK LINK LINK
Don't worry, it's just your denial sub-routine kicking in. ;-)
okay, no link.
but isn't that what I like about you?
Pissing on both sides equally again, Element.
Watch out for your $600 Prada shoes.
Hang about! There are other threads to get to today on the evil Jooo-o-spere in USA! I promise to poke Trump in the eye, very next trump thread. I'll even nail the western war machine if you give it a minute. I'm flexible!
But right now, I'm dealing with these idiots.
I am rather fond of watching you piss on both sides equally. You must be finished with my side by now.
I look forward to seeing you pivot to the other side, unit in hand, to make the NATO trolls damp.
:D .. I'm getting there, I'm getting there! ... I promise! ... bladders almost down to a gush now!
And I'm pleased to see you admit to taking sides, this is very good! Very, very Good!
The first step on the path to self-healing is to admit you have such a problem. :D
Hallelujah
You are ready to attack, with the same quantity and quality of verbiage, the sinister behavior of Breedlove, Stoltenberg, Obama, Cameron, Harper, and the other NATO pigmies (too bad Abbott got away).
I'll have to get my wading boots out of mothballs for this. I'm maxed out at the dry cleaner.
Of course I take sides. As a self-declared champion of the underdog I couldn't avoid it if I wanted to, which naturally I don't.
Let me know when your bladder's in good working order collecting all those malty, hip hoppy juices away from your brain and out your qatari pipeline so to speak.
I thought I'd stand you a few beers, but I think we'd better wait a while on that.
:o )
Well, ya see, the thing is, I normally don't have to carry the load in that direction as the pootie trolls and numerous pootie sycophants are all over attacking the west, already. So I tend to just peruse passively and correct their excesses and inaccuracies. Never been a one for collective action or narratives though, so I generally let them rabbit-on. If they just start talking lies and shit though, I call them on it, no need for that, reality is enough.
You see, I don't so much as care for the critique of sides, as to eliminate the dementors and liars, who seek to damage the minds of people to polarize them, with lies and propaganda. I'm really just not going to stand for that crap. From Putin, or Putin's trolls, or from Obama, or from western lie agencies, or its media.
That's what I concern myself with. So don't expect it to be what you concern yourself with - it won't be.
Whereas, going back the other way, to combat the RT crap and other Russian 'sources', I do have to take a much more active and aggressive stance, to push past the bullshitters, deniers and pootie trolls. Who are the dementors of people's minds - btw.
You can see the asymmetry involved, I'm sure.
So not like you're going to see a Krakatoa out of me, I go after people like you, avid polarized ones, and trolls, with the unwelcome facts of their positions and claims, more than anything else.
Get me now? I'll keep this little explanation handy, in case you need it explained to you again, at a later date.
toodle-pip!
Element, my friend, you can go after me all you want.
Had I known that a chronic obsessive-compulsive disorder possessed you, I'd have let you be in your 'pooty hatred'.
But now you and your problems overwhelm me. You are like that chubby junior high school kid with glasses who throws like a girl and is the last to be picked by a team for a softball game.
Who then spends the whole game in right field cursing the other team while praying that nobody hits the ball anywhere near him.
My heart goes out to people with disabilities like yours.
You're also like a fuzzy three-legged dog that everyone just wants to hug and pet until its disability overwhelms its heart and carries it off to doggy heaven. :o(
If I can do anything to help you let me know. Money, a job, food. Anything.
I promise you this much, I will put facts and evidence in your face And you can whine all you want about it and I'm not going to stop doing it for ya. Cheer up, it'll do you good. ;-)
How could I not be cheered getting wonderful replies from you?
Lets get sushi sometime and you can throw the link to this in my face:
I love facts and evidence. If you don't use Guardian, Telegraph, NYT and WaPo, I won't use Sputnik, RT, TASS and Pravada.
Deal?
Just not going to waste time on denial issues, there are achieves of the Soviet collapse, sort it out yourself.
I don't think I have ever quoted from Telegraph, NYT or WaPo, though I did quote from the Guardian once or twice - almost never. I'm not a fan of any mass 'media'.
I also don't go for sushi., nothing wrong with it, but if you are going to eat seafood then do it right, banana prawns, Morton bay bugs, scallops and fresh water crayfish.
The only seafood better than that has not yet evolved.
What you've been craving all your life is broiled Lake Superior Whitefish. If you don't live in Minneapolis, I suppose it can be flown to the corner of the globe you call home.
I hope I haven't disturbed you, but I really get off on intelligent people who are 100% wrong.
I hope we can be buddies here until the DARK DAY comes.
I really don't think its going to be much longer. :o/
haha ... right 'n wrong thinking, huh? ... I'm not interested in that, I'm interested in human beings maximizing what they can be, now and in every generation to come ... and it ain't going to necessarily be all that pretty ... be nice if it were, but we have one shot at maximizing our potential, and hand-wringing and wasting our capacity on conflict, and attacking each other is really not going to be it for us.
it is quite evident mass global polarization and degradation of human minds is our greatest vulnerability in this age of digital propaganda bullshit peddlers. Other people can do whatever they want, that's their business.
And dude, the 'dark day' came a very long time ago, the tide comes in, the tide goes out.
This is it. Adapt and cope, make the most of the possible, or don't, whatever, no one is going to give a stuff if you fail to adapt. And I guarantee you, no one is ever going to give a fuck a bout what you think, right now, even though you admire it so much. I don't. Adaptation for us is currently much more mental than physical. This is evolution, and it takes no prisoners, has not preference, life with favor the most adaptable and flexible and the least impaired, let alone the self-impaired. And that's if it all goes well.
So I'm more interested in more people moving past that bullshit addiction stage and its polarization.
Which you are well and truly still weighted down by, as that's what polarized thinking is, and produces. Clear up your own mess, or don't, it's not my problem, I really don't care how you take it, or reject it.
But I am going to hammer your preferred bullshit structures with facts and evidences, and you most likely are going to hate me for it. I'm OK with that. ;-)
And ... I'm going to seem really unbalanced to you, as I kick the shit into the dust, and that's just inevitable, and I don't care about your approval rating, or interest, or lack thereof. :D
There's no crusade(s) here to win in life, especially a bloody political crusade for fuck's-sake. If you live to 70, and live it well, or don't, you still get a bonus grave to be proud of - well done, enjoy!
As for being derailed from developing into the humans we are, that's my enemy, in whatever form it comes, and I do not have another enemy, as there is no other enemy for human beings, but the fictions we invent, that do us harm and impair us.
The rest is just a bunch of illusions of fools, and the most fun in life is to kick the shit out of illusions and fools. :D
Right? ... wrong? ... so cute ... the world does not actually operate in polarized opposite terms like those, that's a part of the mental ball and chain you yank around with you. ;-)
okay. have it your way.
Such a bloody sour puss! Irritable bowel syndrome?

Reuters: Russia may deploy Iskander ballistic missiles to its enclave of Kaliningrad ...
Kalininigrad is not an enclave. The usual inaccurate rubbish from Reuters.
it's an 'exclave'.
Reuters is Redshield. they want muppets to believe that Russia has "anexed" Kaliningrad
Berlin is within range of Iskander missile, if fired from Kaliningrad.
Peskov's statements, in isolation at any rate, seem spot on.

Kremlin Spokesman Linked To $7.1 Million House In Latest Navalny Exposé
So remind me - Crimea votes to rejoin Russia, which it was part of for hundreds of years, and Russia is sanctioned for assenting...
But no sanctions for Israel for a decades long brutal occupation and slow-burn ethnic cleansing in violation of the Geneva Conventions, numerous UN resolutions, and the conditions of Israel's own admittance to the UN...
How is that?
It was part of Turkey for hundreds of years. Not Russia.
And that "referendum" was not legit, that is why it has not been recognized internationally. Just as USSR occupation forces orgnized "referendums" in occupied countries and that was not legit.
Not as many people in Crimea as butthurt as you are over it, Jonah.
Once the last lawfully elected govt was chased from power and US handpicked the next puppets for their sham election, all bets are off. Whining about the territorial integrity of the Ukraine is for sore losers and faggots who are used to everyone bending over at their sheer American awesomeness.
But please, by all means, tell everyone what those Crimeans should think about their place in Russia now.
Fuck Turkey... Constantinople was not part of Turkey until those goat fuckers conquered it as they did with Crimea, which then Russia took from them.
Fuck Turkey... Constantinople was not part of Turkey until those goat fuckers conquered it as they did with Crimea, which then Russia took from them.
Until this takes down a European government, Obama will just dictate to Europe like he did over Ukraine. Merkel, Hollande and the rest of the Eurotards have no choice to but to do what Peace Prize tells them to do
That's the reality of NATO
I hope that Russia just stays in Syria forever and keeps that bitch Israel quarantined.

Why the fuck would we want to put nuclear weapons in Germany?
And why the fuck would Germany LET us?
What is the need? How does this make anyone, especially the Germans, any safer? Russia isn't going to be "first-striking" Germany anytime soon. Or likely EVER.
All it does is escalate tensions. So once again, the Europeans allow themselves to be used by the US to poke the bear...
Umm, Germany, you DO know that Russia is right on your border, correct? By the time you verify the facts and get those codes right the Russians would be rolling tanks into Berlin with thousands of boots on the ground. America isn't going to nuke them in response, not when they know they'll get hit right back just as hard or harder...there will be months, if not years, of handwringing and shrill 'negotiations' with Putin while you Krauts practice your Cyrillic.
But if it makes you feel any better Germany, we'll be on your side during all those negotiations. Unless we decide to sell you out for some reason.
That's how it works. WE make the threats, YOU get the shit.
Germany is still US occupied territory , thats why, They dont have a choice
Find out meaning of words you use. You obviously don't have any clue.
Military occupation is effective provisional control of a certain ruling power over a territory which is not under the formal sovereignty of that entity, without the volition of the actual sovereign.[1][2][3][4] Military occupation is distinguished from annexation by its intended temporary nature (i.e. no claim for permanent sovereignty), by its military nature, and by citizenship rights of the controlling power not being conferred upon the subjugated population.[2][5][6][7]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_occupation
By that definition, Crimea is not "occupied" but Palestine is, yet Christian Russia is sanctioned, while Jewish Israel is not.
cute.
Who is aggressor in region?
The USA is the Aggressor in the region you are talking about, Reason: Natural Gas Pipeline.
When Russia agreed to reduce the Number of Warheads with the Americans the deal was to not entrap Russian.
The USA is above everyone else Laws yet break many of their own....They Polute with Depleated Uranium, They manipulate all deals and overthrow Governments.
Sorry to say but I do wish that your arrogance allows a dirty bomb to pollute your own Country, however I don't think it will be an accident but yet another coverup such as the financial records that the Elite want destoyed (Like what happened with Bldg.# 7 in Ny.Ny.
It's people like you who No Nothing or are a Paid Minion to Lie.
Looking from facts not fantasies - it's Russia who annexed part of Ukraine and it's Russian flag in Crimea not US flag. And it's Russia elite who threaten with nuclear war to Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, etc. West needed to respond to these threats. And taking into account that aggressor already has attacks and annexed part of another country - this step needed to be done now.
There was a referendum in Crimea before the Russian annexation.
If you don't like the Crimean referendum, compare it to the Hawaiian referendum for statehood where American servicemen stationed in Hawaii were eligible to vote.
You must stop living in a world where the US can pull all sorts of crap and no one complains, but when Russia does the same thing panties get wet.
he doesn't care
"Democracy" and the will of the Crimean people don't matter to this obvious troll.
No - only what the putsch regime in Kiev wants for its IMF masters counts.
Which seems odd.
Tell us, message, did you ever live in Riga?

You keep trying ever so hard to paint Russia as the aggressor in Ukraine - to do so you, like the NY Times, must pretend there was no us-backed coup of a legal, sitting president, and must pretend there was no neo-nazi/ultra nationalist presence at Maidan and in Odessa when those people were burned to death [or shot trying to escape]... on the other hand if anyone notes the strange role of Israeli dual citizens/Jewish oligarchs, or the fact that the PM, President, and head of Parliament are of Jewish or largely Jewish extraction in a country where Jews are less than 1/2 of 1% of the population...............
why then, you'd cry "anti-Semite" but you still have to explain why this is if this was a Ukrainian" revolt.
You also have to leave out how Kiev's putsch regime immediately began killing its own people for doing what the neo-nazis at Maidan did - occupying buildings and the like.
The point isn't that Putin is all sweetness and light - it's that as a troll, you are dishonest.
Were you honest, you'd understand that the people of Ukraine are the victims of the US/NATO IMF agenda to encircle and weaken Russia while stealing everything that is not nailed down.

Absolute bollocks.
The fucking Germans could go full blown Nazi and the world would talk to them.
What fucking planet do you live on?
Well, when Nazi Germany started WW2 there was one ally with it - it was Stalin Russia. So there was exception on world stage.
My point is a simple one. International relations are rarely impacted by the philosophies and organisational structure of regimes.
It's more about treaties, resources and trade.
No-one cares if you are Muslim, Christian, Democrat, Communist, Monarch, Nazi or otherwise.
The game of kings is about serving your interests. If it's in your interest to have international relations with Nazis then you have international relations with Nazis.
Germany is too important a country to lock out, no matter what they do.
Sorry I had to explain this, I thought this was common knowledge.
No, that was the Soviiet Union. ... and Stalin was not a Russian.. he was Georgian.
You mean like how no one is talking to you, here?
"no one would talk to them"
Still, wouldn't you be polishing their knobs?
Let's review the facts.
About 5 or 6 weeks ago the Russians complained that the US/NATO was testing a nuclear weapon. An examination of the facts revealed that the test was of a new gravity bomb capable of containing a nuclear weapon.
Obviously the bomb must have fallen downwards when dropped from a bomber.
Today, 5 or 6 weeks after that test, the US/NATO has traded out those old nuclear gravity bombs which were already deployed in Europe for the latest model.
This is just a case of the US/NATO putting
Move along nothing new to see here.
USA has had nukes in Germany , the Netherlands and other European countries for YEARS.

Why the Rise of Fascism is Again the Issue
"Since 1945, more than a third of the membership of the United Nations – 69 countries – have suffered some or all of the following at the hands of America’s modern fascism. They have been invaded, their governments overthrown, their popular movements suppressed, their elections subverted, their people bombed and their economies stripped of all protection, their societies subjected to a crippling siege known as “sanctions”. The British historian Mark Curtis estimates the death toll in the millions. In every case, a big lie was deployed.
“Tonight, for the first time since 9/11, our combat mission in Afghanistan is over.” These were opening words of Obama’s 2015 State of the Union address. In fact, some 10,000 troops and 20,000 military contractors (mercenaries) remain in Afghanistan on indefinite assignment. “The longest war in American history is coming to a responsible conclusion,” said Obama. In fact, more civilians were killed in Afghanistan in 2014 than in any year since the UN took records. The majority have been killed — civilians and soldiers — during Obama’s time as president.
The tragedy of Afghanistan rivals the epic crime in Indochina. In his lauded and much quoted book, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the godfather of US policies from Afghanistan to the present day, writes that if America is to control Eurasia and dominate the world, it cannot sustain a popular democracy, because “the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion . . . Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilisation.” He is right. As WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden have revealed, a surveillance and police state is usurping democracy. In 1976, Brzezinski, then President Carter’s National Security Advisor, demonstrated his point by dealing a death blow to Afghanistan’s first and only democracy. Who knows this vital history?"

"Putin’s Russia Is in the Grip of Fascism"
Wrong. Putin's Russia is a Principality. He just doesn't like crowns, they cramp his style.
“the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion . . . Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilisation.”
If you had said that instead of Brzezinski either Goebels or Göring had said that back in the 1930s I would have believed you. Sick shit.

If there’s no democracy, it’s not a country. It’s a banana state. On February 22nd, 2014, Euromaidan kicked out not only a democratically-elected president, but a democratically-elected government. It waited three months before holding elections for a new president, 8 months before parliamentary. By that time, all too late, the extremist element had already taken a stake way beyond electoral control – neo-Nazi party Svoboda, despite scoring less than 5% in the parliamentary elections, still vocally sit in Ukraine’s parliament, regularly send fighters to the front. Leader of neo-Nazi terrorist group Pravy Sektor Dmitry Yarosh, left, who polled less than 1% in the presidential election, on Interpol’s wanted list, is now an official aide to to the Ukrainian military.
If there’s no democracy, it’s not a country. It’s a banana state.
There is no real opposition party in Russia - they are denied to take part in elections. So there is no democracy in Russia - it is banana state (actually gas station).
Had the US helped Russia's economy emerge from the ashes of the USSR we might have a different world.
Instead a bunch of Jewish academics helped a bunch of Jewish oligarchs rape Russia's natural wealth, in tandem with a variety of schemes with the "Russian mob" which is headed by a Jews and heavily Jewish, in fact....
Putin's rise was a response to the tactics of Zionist and Western gangsters who merely wished to steal anything they could.
Which is why to this day the Zionist mouthpieces of the West and the International Organized Jewish/Zionist orgs are the loudest advocates for MOAR war on Ukraine and Syria and who can be counted on to be in the byline of a cartoonish hit piece a paid troll like you loves to rely on.

Sorry, moron, but the major opposition party in Russia is the Communist Party. The US Neo-Liberal stooges that the west regards as the opposition managed to get 2% of the vote of one single seat in the recent election. The Russian have seen the western values these stooges support and have expressed their contemprt for them.
Interestingly, Navalny called for a mass demonstration after the election. The turnout was massive - about 5,000 individuals, at least 10 of which were accounted for by the presence of John 'The Blimp' Tefft and his bodyguard.

par for the course for the Times, of course
Get your Israel/Palestine coverage from the Times?
You shouldn't.
http://ifamericansknew.org/media/meet-nyt.html
"Yousef Munayyer, Executive Director of The Jerusalem Fund, explains how it typically works: Israel can “fire into Gaza without accountability, provoke a reaction and then claim self-defense.” See here for his explanation of the methodology.
I have written about previous cases in which Israel breaks the cease-fire with bombings, shootings, or territorial incursions, and then uses the retaliation from Gaza as a justification to launch a deeper bombing campaign here and here.
Israel violates the cease-fires more often, bombs Gaza more times than Gaza rockets Israel, and kills more Palestinians than Palestinians kill Israelis. But these findings are not what is striking. What is striking about this is that almost everybody believes the opposite of the reality"
http://antiwar.com/blog/2014/02/06/the-truth-about-cease-fire-violations...
"So how have these cease-fire dynamics been covered? We’ve tracked New York Times coverage of the cease-fire during this period. The New York Times is representative of the mainstream and extremely important for shaping public discourse on events and thus an important window into broader mainstream coverage. The Times also has multiple reporters covering these events including a bureau in Jerusalem and a correspondent in Gaza. Finally, we simply can’t track everything so the Times, with its easily searchable history, is an effective example to use.
Of the nearly 120 Israeli cease-fire violations during this period the New York Times reported on 17 of them. Additionally, most of these stories (eleven) came either during the first week of the cease-fire, when the issue was still fresh in readers’ minds, or since the escalation on December 20th. That means for the bulk of this period, during which Israel committed 87 cease-fire violations and causing some 91 Palestinian casualties over nearly a one year period there were only six stories on the topic. This represents a systematic failure to cover Israeli cease-fire violations.
Making matters worse is the way events are covered in the rare instances they are covered. In most cases, Israeli actions are described as a response to Palestinian actions. So while most Israeli cease-fire violations are not covered at all, those that are are explained as justified retaliation. Thus the reader is completely misled about the dynamics of fire, why the cease-fire is threatened and exactly what is going on in and around Gaza.
The biggest challenge to the cease-fire agreement is persistent Israeli violation and the lack of any accountability for them. The politics of the Gaza Strip are complex. Israel says it wants Hamas to control projectile fire from other factions and yet it persistently violates the truce putting Hamas in a position of having to defend Israel’s violations. By targeting groups other than Hamas and by expecting Hamas to crack down on their responses, Israel is playing a dangerous and deadly game of divide and conquer in Gaza that will likely lead to the unraveling of the cease-fire. Once again, Israel has proven security is not its aim, subjugation is."
