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."

You where complaining about copy+paste? :D
specifically, I wrote
"another copy and paste instead of replying to what someone posted, eh?"
Short excerpts from links provided aren't *quite* the same thing - but I'll give you a foul tip ruling on that one.
Retracted!
He gets nothing, and likes it!
You where not credible.
You were not credible.
Hi was missing you actually
Russia has thousands of tactical nuclear weapons, so called battlefield nuclear weapons. 20 American nuclear bombs should not make them nervous. But it is the game tit-for-tat that is being played. Cause the world is no longer run by people that lived through the horrors of WWII. Instead, we now have people who are willing to take a shot....with our lives.
You don't see Russia on USA borders threatening the USA> however USA is on Russia's borders threatening. See the difference?
That fucktard ''Message'' is too stupid to see it.
The US military cannot decisively defeat fifth rate farmers hidden in caves. And it is seriously considering taking on a first rate power?
Russia, US Launch Military Cooperation on Syria
The U.S. and Russia are ending an 18-month freeze in military-to-military relations and initiating talks about how to pursue "deconfliction" of the American and Russian forces involved in the Syrian conflict. Russian and US defense chiefs began talks on September 18 over Syria to avoid dangerous misunderstandings on the battlefield.

General Allen quit (fired) yesterday because the whole masquerade of fighting ISIS while funding and supplying them is coming apparent to all.
WE said it over a year ago.
ISIS is CIA/Mossad
General Allen just jumped out of the sinking boat.
That son of a bitch, Petraeus said today the USA needs to keep supporting the ''rebels'' (terrorists) to take down Assad, who was duly elected by the Syrian people in an election that was probably more legitimate then the sham called USA elections.
Let's see... Obama unilaterally pulled US anti missiles from our allies in Germany and Poland. Then tells the Russians he will have more room after the election, floods Europe with Muslims who have no intention on getting jobs but subjugating the Europeans, and now starts putting nuclear warheads in Germany.
That's about right... that has been his play book so far, screw it up, militarize it, then start a war. Libya, Egypt, Syria and now Europe... Obama's peace prize must be feeling pretty stupid.
The world is a vastly worse place since Obama got elected.
Oh boy I've never seen a real live nuclear explosion

US to build mysterious ‘Site 911? in Israel
http://mycatbirdseat.com/2014/07/us-to-build-mysterious-site-911-in-israel/
growing up, in my hood there was a very tough guy that everyone feared. he pretty much got away with whatever he liked. Roll forward about fifteen years, he became a drunk, fat, and old and relied on his "rep" One day he picked a fight with a very large kid that grew up on the block. He got several of his teeth knocked out and humiliated in from of the whole hood.
This is what's about to happen to the US. People are tired of the warmongering and meddleing. Even Americans are sick of it.
Lol, it's not wrong to stockpile nukes in someone else's backyard is it? Especially nukes that can blow up the entire neighborhood's yards.
There seem to be some knowledgeable folks regarding military weapons.
Perhaps they can comment on the prospect of atomic/nuclear weapons being fake and/or lies. By that I mean fake and/or lies like the moon landing and 9/11. Stuff happened, but maybe not what we're led to believe.
This thread has a huge amount of information: http://www.cluesforum.info/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=452 And there are lots of videos on y00tube. Another interesting site: http://heiwaco.tripod.com/bomb.htm
Most of the evidence (i.e. images/videos/etc.) of nuclear weapons tests seems suspect at best. They lie about so much shit already, why not lie about this to keep the dumbshit masses subdued by threat of MAD?
Russia & Iran Share borders.
Mabbee Iran & Russia should agree to deploy nuclear bombs on Iran's soil.
IRAN, JOIN STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA AND HOST RUSSIA'S NUCLEAR BOMBS AND ALSO KEEP ON DEVELOPING YOUR OWN.
That B16-12 is a DUMB bombs that must be deliver by bomber aircraft.
This is Russian voronezh-DM radar.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronezh_radar
It detected Israel launching test missile in Israel coast.
https://www.rt.com/news/186396-missile-test-israel-usa/
So, if that radar can detect a smaller objects (missiles are smaller object compared to an aircraft), thousands kilometers away. What do you think, the chance of EU/US fighter jets, flying UN-detected, trying to deliver that nuke bombs to Russia?
Those who said the magic word STEALTH? Look at the physic's principle of RAYLEIGH SCATTERRED principle. Voronezh-DM radar is a low band radar. Learn what they means, before you open your mouth.

So, again, WHY US put that useless nukes in EU countries?? While it actually endangers the EU countries that HOSTS them??
Doesn't makes any sense, even from military perspective..
not a word of the american deployment in msm. I'm sure russia's retaliation will be portrayed as aggression
