Russia’s deployment of Iskander missiles to Kaliningrad is major threat to NATO: Here’s why

June 26, 2022 -

That included a massive amount of ballistic missiles, many of which have remained in service and now form the backbone of Moscow's A2AD -- "anti-access/area denial" strategy for the allied security alliance.

But of course, not all of Russia's ballistic missile stockpile, the largest in the world, is aged. In fact, many models are fairly new and all are extremely lethal, including the Iskander-M, a short-range ballistic missile (SRBM), which NATO is particularly ...

NATO pushing for Kaliningrad CATASTROPHE by provoking Russia into global nuclear war

June 21, 2022 -

To understand the full dynamic of what's happening, you need to first learn about the geography of Kaliningrad. This Russian territory sits on the Baltic Sea, providing Russia its only year-round ocean access that isn't frozen over for part of the year. Kaliningrad is land-locked, however, and not physically connected to the Russian mainland. A railway runs through Lithuania, connecting Kaliningrad to Russia proper. This railway passage has been in place for decades and has always ...

Just to clarify a linguistic nuance:

The way this is written in Russian "za ditei" means ...

If we keep escalating this conflict, the end result will be a nuclear cataclysm

July 03, 2022 -

(Article by Michael Snyder republished from TheMostImportantNews.com)

In a nuclear conflict, the side that uses their weapons first has the best chance of surviving, and the Russians understand this very well.

If push comes to shove, the Russians won’t hesitate to strike if they believe that nuclear war has become inevitable.

So we need to stop this madness while we still can.

Unfortunately, our leaders seem to have no interest in ending the conflict ...

Global FORCE MAJEURE coming after declaration of World War III – many financial obligations, contracts and pensions will be vacated

September 12, 2022 -

In order to achieve this, western nations must first invoke global war with either Russia or China. As we have exhaustively documented this year, many efforts are under way by the Biden regime controllers to ignite war with both adversaries. The latest example is the Ukrainian counteroffensive, heavily hyped by western media, that saw Russian military forces withdraw from a region containing around 40 - 50 small villages and towns in order to avoid being encircled by Ukrainian ...

ANALYSIS: Why China LOSES any escalation involving Taiwan and the United States Navy

August 04, 2022 -

Taiwan is a key strategic supplier of 2nm microchips to western nations, providing critical components to Apple, weapons manufacturers, navigation, transportation and telecommunications industries. Without Taiwan's steady supply of microchips (and other goods manufactured in Taiwan), western economies would face devastating economic consequences. For this reason, Taiwan holds strategic value for the western world that is far higher in the "critical infrastructure" hierarchy ...
