Russia’s ‘Killer’ Swarm Drone Project: Russian, Chinese Agencies ‘Partner’ To Attack Ukraine’s Military Infra – British Media Claims

In a covert arms agreement with Chinese spies, Russia’s infamous Wagner Group mercenaries are reportedly developing “swarm drones” to target Ukrainian armed forces.

The explosive-tipped drones from China would reportedly be used in large numbers against Ukraine. These drones would be capable of wreaking havoc on military targets.

The British media claimed that secret discussions between Chinese cyber experts, the Wagner Group, and spies from both nations have taken place as part of Moscow’s killer swarm project.

The developments contrast Beijing’s claims that it is not engaged in the Ukraine war, morphing into a West-versus-East confrontation.

Over 2,500 DJI Mavic2 drones were shipped from Beijing to Moscow as part of a secret agreement with Russia’s infamous Wagner Group, the Mirror alleged.

In a covert arms agreement with Chinese spies, Russia’s infamous Wagner Group mercenaries are reportedly developing “swarm drones” to target Ukrainian armed forces.

The explosive-tipped drones from China would reportedly be used in large numbers against Ukraine. These drones would be capable of wreaking havoc on military targets.

In a “swarm network,” several drones engage in coordinated attacks on a target with the assistance of artificial intelligence.

The Daily Mirror, citing an intelligence report, alleged that the private military group aims to use the 2,500 freshly arrived Chinese drones to create a swarm platform for coordinated autonomous drone orchestration.

The report revealed that the Russian private military group and the Chinese Communist Party communicate through two cloaked networks, one in Russia and one in China.

“That network is responsible for the clandestine shipments of war materials being used against Ukraine, regardless of how much the Chinese deny it,” the report added.

The mercenary group has allegedly established an information technology research and development office in St. Petersburg to develop “bot farms” in the Chinese style and the latest swarm technologies.

The swarm would then be able to transmit live mass surveillance footage to a base so that it can be attacked. Wagner’s activities in Ukraine could receive a significant boost due to the collaboration with China.

According to reports, the Wagner group represents 10% of all Russian combatants involved in the fighting in Ukraine. Yevgeniy Prigozhin, a close associate of Vladimir Putin and the subject of several US sanctions, is the head of the Russian private military firm, Wagner Group.

In its recent announcement, the US government declared the private military company a transnational criminal organization. Furthermore, the US also slapped sanctions on a Chinese company for supplying satellite imagery of Ukraine to assist Russia’s Wagner Group.

In a statement, the US Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, said, “As sanctions and export controls on Russia from our international coalition continue to bite, the Kremlin is desperately searching for arms and support, including through the brutal Wagner Group, to continue its unjust war against Ukraine.”

Spacety has provided synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery of specific Ukrainian sites to facilitate Wagner’s military operations in Ukraine. However, the Chinese satellite startup has denied supplying satellite footage of Ukraine.

According to Spacety’s official website in the Chinese language, the company serves more than 200 clients with quick-turnaround, inexpensive one-stop solutions. Along with Tsinghua University and Xiamen University, its Chinese clients also include China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

Since China declined to denounce the war in Ukraine, the United States has been wary of its close relations with Russia. Washington warned Beijing that there would be repercussions if it supported Russia militarily against Ukraine.

Another “Conspiracy Theory” Has Been Proven True, And It Brings Us Even Closer To War

We now know who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, and it shouldn’t be a surprise to any of us. The corporate media tried very hard to convince us that the Russians were behind the sabotage when it originally happened, but that didn’t make any sense at all. It took 15 years to build the Nord Stream pipelines, and the total cost ultimately surpassed 20 billion dollars. So why would the Russians blow up pipelines that they had invested so much to construct and that were so critical to their own national economy? Sadly, many Americans unquestionably believed the narrative that was being pushed by the Biden administration, but now we have learned that it was the Biden administration that was actually behind the attack.

Legendary journalist Seymour Hersh has just published an extremely detailed article entitled “How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline” in which he lays out precisely what happened. If you are not familiar with Hersh, the following is some good background information about him from Wikipedia…

Hersh first gained recognition in 1969 for exposing the My Lai Massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War, for which he received the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. During the 1970s, Hersh covered the Watergate scandal for The New York Times and revealed the clandestine bombing of Cambodia. In 2004, he reported on the U.S. military‘s mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison. He has also won two National Magazine Awards and five George Polk Awards. In 2004, he received the George Orwell Award.[7]

As you can see, Hersh is not just another journalist.

He was winning awards long before many of you were even born.

And he would never go ahead with a story like this unless his source was rock solid.

According to Hersh’s source, the plan to blow up the pipelines came from a task force that was originally formed in December 2021…

In December of 2021, two months before the first Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, Jake Sullivan convened a meeting of a newly formed task force—men and women from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA, and the State and Treasury Departments—and asked for recommendations about how to respond to Putin’s impending invasion.

Apparently Sullivan made it quite clear that the task force was supposed to “come up with a plan for the destruction of the two Nord Stream pipelines”, and it was also quite clear that Sullivan was “delivering on the desires of the President”…

What became clear to participants, according to the source with direct knowledge of the process, is that Sullivan intended for the group to come up with a plan for the destruction of the two Nord Stream pipelines—and that he was delivering on the desires of the President.

For the past two years, I have been repeatedly warning my readers that Jake Sullivan is a big time warmonger.

So it is not exactly a shock that he was directly involved in this decision.

According to Hersh’s source, those that were a part of this task force definitely understood that blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines would be “an act of war”…

Everyone involved understood the stakes. “This is not kiddie stuff,” the source said. If the attack were traceable to the United States, “It’s an act of war.”

So now that the fact that we have committed an “act of war” against Russia has been revealed for the whole world to see, how will the Russians respond?

Will they choose to strike back in some way?

Thanks to the foolishness of our leaders in Washington, we are now closer to nuclear war than ever before.

At the time when this attack was first being considered, there were a few officials from the CIA and the State Department that were warning about what would happen if the truth was ever revealed…

Throughout “all of this scheming,” the source said, “some working guys in the CIA and the State Department were saying, ‘Don’t do this. It’s stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out.’”

Now the truth has finally come out, and there will be very serious consequences.

Ultimately, Sullivan’s working group settled on a plan that involved the planting of underwater explosives.

And apparently those underwater explosives were put into place during the BALTOPS22 military exercises in June 2022…

In a compelling, 5,000-word report about the alleged attack, Hersh claims diving experts trained at the U.S. Navy Diving and Salvage Center in Florida planted the explosives.

The divers are said to have carried out the top secret and highly-dangerous operation during BALTOPS22, a series of military exercises in the Baltic Sea carried out by 16 NATO countries. The U.S. divers reportedly used the highly-publicized, 13-day event in June 2022 as cover for their top-secret mission.

The C4 explosives attached to the pipelines were fitted with sensors that enabled them to be detonated remotely at a later date, Hersh reports.

There was concern that it would be obvious that the U.S. was behind the attack if they were set off too quickly after the BALTOPS22 military exercises concluded.

So the explosives just sat on the pipelines until they were finally remotely detonated in late September…

On September 26, 2022, a Norwegian Navy P8 surveillance plane made a seemingly routine flight and dropped a sonar buoy. The signal spread underwater, initially to Nord Stream 2 and then on to Nord Stream 1. A few hours later, the high-powered C4 explosives were triggered and three of the four pipelines were put out of commission. Within a few minutes, pools of methane gas that remained in the shuttered pipelines could be seen spreading on the water’s surface and the world learned that something irreversible had taken place.

When asked about Hersh’s bombshell story, the White House responded by calling it “completely and utterly false”…

A spokesman for the White House said the report is ‘false and complete fiction’. A spokesman for the CIA said: ‘This claim is completely and utterly false.’

But what else can they do?

If the Biden administration admits the truth, it is likely that Biden will be impeached.

Needless to say, the Russians were exceedingly interested in this report, and they are demanding answers…

Russia’s Foreign Ministry says the Hersh report reveals new facts that must be answered to, however, with spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressing, “We have repeatedly stated Russia’s position on the involvement of the United States and NATO, noting that they did not hide it, bragging to the whole world about their intention to destroy the civilian infrastructure through which Europe received Russian energy resources.”

If the Russians had attacked us in such a way, the American people would be crying out for revenge.

And rightfully so.

The recklessness of our leaders has pushed us to the brink of nuclear war, and as I discussed in a previous article, the United States is definitely not prepared for such a conflict.

Sadly, most Americans don’t even realize what is going on.

Elon Musk was quite correct when he observed that “most are oblivious to the danger”…

Tesla founder Elon Musk warned that “most are oblivious to the danger” of World War 3 as the conflict in Ukraine continues to escalate.

The comment was in response to a speech by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to the General Assembly on Monday during which he expressed his fear that humanity was marching toward a “wider war” with its “eyes wide open”.

But over in Russia the story is completely different.

The Russians believe that they are now engaged in an existential conflict with the United States, and there is constant talk about the possibility of nuclear war on Russian television.

When it finally happens, nobody will be able to say that they weren’t warned.

Over the past two years, I have been relentlessly warning my readers that Joe Biden and his all-star team of warmongers were going to push things way too far.

Now the truth about the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines has finally come out, and nothing will ever be the same after this.

Political and military figures in Germany suggesting a return of “compulsory military service”

Political and military figures in Germany have suggested a return of compulsory military service after the new defence minister described the 2011 phase-out of general conscription as a “mistake” that had contributed to alienating the general public from civic institutions.

The German parliamentary commissioner for the armed forces, Eva Högl of the centre-left SPD, on Wednesday urged the government to ask itself whether some form of obligatory civic service was required to address staff shortages in the German army’s ranks. “We definitely need more personnel in the Bundeswehr,” Högl told the Augsburger Allgemeine newspaper.

The chief of the German navy, Jan Christian Kaack, also recently proposed a return of mandatory military service along the Norwegian model, whereby men and women are called in for an examination upon turning 19, but only a small, motivated percentage of each year group is drafted into the army.

“I believe that a nation that needs to become more resilient in times like these will have a higher level of awareness if it is mixed through with soldiers,” said Kaack.

The government, for which the growing debate is above all a headache, has been quick to try to pour cold water over the debate. “All of our efforts have to be concentrated on strengthening the Bundeswehr as a highly professional army,” the finance minister, Christian Lindner, told Süddeutsche Zeitung, describing it as a “phantom dispute”.

Steffen Hebestreit, a government spokesperson, on Monday described the debate as “nonsensical”, adding that turning the Bundeswehr from a conscript to a professional army “could not be reversed from one moment to the next”.

The debate was kicked off by an interview in which Boris Pistorius, the new defence minister who took office last month, said it had been a mistake to phase out conscription more than a decade ago.

From 1956 until 2011, German men were obliged to perform some form of civic service upon turning 18, with those who did not want to serve in the army having the option to instead carry out Zivildienst in civic institutions such as hospitals or homes for elderly people.

With the staffing requirements of a downsized army shrinking after the fall of the Berlin Wall, both services were suspended under Angela Merkel’s rule in 2011, though a clause allowing the state to draft men into the armed forces remains part of the German Basic Law.

Recently army officials have complained of their struggles to fill the ranks of a Bundeswehr no more than 183,000 strong, while social institutions bemoan the lack of young care workers for whom a Zivildienst spell used to work as a door-opener into the sector. (SOURCE)

Anonymous web comment.

"U.S. citizens residing or travelling in Russia should depart immediately."

https://ru.usembassy.gov/travel-advisory...y-12-2023/

Ignore all the bs about "wrongful detentions". That sentence above, from the Embassy statement, is as close as it's ever going to get to actually saying: "If you've got that Apocalypse bunker stashed somewhere on the planet, now's the time to take that underground vacation (of indeterminate length)."

It sure looks like U.S. is getting ready to first-strike Russia... and since Biden is supposed to visit Poland between February 20-22, I'd say that the probability of the first strike happening before February 20 is extremely high. Pentagon morons like to use such blatantly obvious (and lame) "deceptions" that fool no one in their operations.

Plenty of weird stuff has been happening in recent days, not the least of which have been:

  • U.S. striking Iran (from the territory of Turkey, and behind Israel's back) at the same moment Israel hit Iranian drone factories, a couple of weeks ago
  • A whole lot of NATO countries puling their diplomatic staff (and also advising their citizens to "immediately depart" Turkey... sounds familiar?) immediately afterwards
  • Turkey suffering a very suspicious "earthquake" just a few days later
  • Readiness tests of all kinds of weapon systems, both on the U.S. territory (a video of something that looked like HAARP atmospheric ionization appeared a few day ago), and elsewhere (a video of a two-stage anti-ICBM missile launch, supposedly in Poland, appeared today)
  • Shooting down of "unidentified" flying objects by the U.S. (and, apparently, also by China)
  • Anything else I missed?

Yep, it sure looks like something major is going to happen in the next 48-72 hours.

My bet is that U.S. is now pushing this whole UFO craze in order to confuse Russians (for just a couple of minutes, which is definitely more than enough) about the (undeniable to those who've been paying attention) nature of the imminent U.S. first strike, and thousands of "unidentified objects" (U.S. ICBMs and hypersonic nukes) heading for Russia.

Only time will tell... if we don't run out of time before that, that is.

What a shame that would be, huh? Not being able to watch WW III live on CNN... because we experienced it first hand, and died before we got the chance?

It does say in the embassy statement, that US citizens are being told they should leave Russia immediately. The rest is someone's added personal commentry and thoughts.

Them going all out, rather than having to admit that they were the ones who did Nord Stream, etc., does seem plausible. Time will tell..

Russia Deploys Nuclear-Armed Ships for First Time in 30 Years

Warships in the Russian navy’s Northern Fleet have been deployed with tactical nuclear weapons, the Norwegian Intelligence Service said in a report released Monday.

The intelligence agency noted the presence of the weapons on the vessels in its annual report. It is believed that this is the first time in 30 years the fleet has gone to sea with the nuclear weapons on board.

“A central part of the nuclear capabilities is located on the North Fleet’s submarines and surface vessels,” the report said.

Norway’s intelligence went on to describe the “particularly serious threat” that Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons pose to NATO countries.

“In addition, Russia has, among other things, underwater capabilities, anti-satellite weapons and cyber tools that can threaten Norway and NATO,” the report said.

The Soviet Union’s Northern Fleet warships often went to sea equipped with nuclear weapons during the Cold War, Politico reported. But the latest development reportedly marks the first time the Russian Federation has deployed the ships with nuclear weapons.

Norway’s report also detailed the increased importance of nuclear weapons for Russia now that the nation’s defense budget is set to increase by 34 percent in 2023.

“With weakened conventional capability, the importance of nuclear weapons for Russia has increased significantly,” the report said. “The Russian strategic and regional deterrent forces have thus become increasingly important for the Russian military power.”

The agency’s assessment concluded that Russia will continue to maintain and further develop its nuclear arsenal in the coming years.

Though Russian President Vladimir Putin has mostly avoided direct talk of using nuclear weapons during Russia’s war in Ukraine, which will reach the one-year mark on February 24, Kremlin officials like Dmitry Medvedev—the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council and former president of Russia—and various members of Russia’s state-controlled media have floated the possibility of using nuclear weapons in recent weeks.

In a January post on his Telegram channel, Medvedev invoked the possibility of nuclear war should Russia be defeated in Ukraine.

“Defeat of a nuclear power in a conventional war may trigger a nuclear war,” he wrote.

Norway’s intelligence report warned about the dangers of NATO being directly drawn into the war in Ukraine due to “unintended incidents.”

“Russian decisions are characterized by a strong distrust of Western intentions. This perception has been significantly reinforced as a result of the West’s reaction to the invasion of Ukraine,” the report said. “Both the likelihood of misunderstandings between Russia and NATO and unintended incidents increase, which in turn increases the risk of escalation.”

VP Harris: "The United States has formally determined that Russia has committed Crimes Against Humanity"

In a speech at the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris told attendees "The United States has formally determined that Russia has committed crimes against humanity." It APPEARED to attendees that this will become the basis for actual war between the US and Russia. The saddest part: It is a deliberate fraud.

Here is video of Harris remark:

[video in article link]

When an elected official of a country uses language like this, in public, about the leaders of another country, that begins the process of building a record; a record that generally, historically, becomes the basis for war.

The attendees of the Munich Security Conference, apparently with some type of Biblical "hook in the jaw" showed themselves to be useful idiots and broke into applause when these words of world war were spoken:

Harris-MunichSecurityConference
Harris-MunichSecurityConference1780×1343 315 KB

Rather than step-back from the activities that have gotten the world to the point we're presently at, these people are ratcheting-up, making things worse.

VP Harris remarks are not based in reality, they are delusional. No rational person could arrive at the conclusion she spoke, yet an entire US Government has "formally determined . . . .????"

Which persons made this determination? By what method? What facts lead them to this conclusion?

Specifically, what "crimes" do they allege?"

No answers to any of those questions.

Hal Turner Editorial Opinion:-

My radio show audience knows that, for months, I have lamented the actions taken by the US Government is support of the NAZI regime in Ukraine. We have supplied weapons, ammunition, missiles, rockets, now tanks and maybe, in the future, aircraft. We have used OUR surveillance aircraft to pinpoint Russian troops and supply depots, and forwarded explicitly accurate GPS coordinates that Ukraine then uses to fire weapons and kill those troops.

Yet while we are doing such things, we have the gall to publicly say "We are not a participant in this conflict." Bullshit. We are a participant. We're just not the one pulling the trigger.

I warned my audience repeatedly that sooner or later, Russia will declare us to be a "co-belligerent" or a "participant" in the Ukraine war, and when Russia makes that declaration, that's all it takes for them to begin targeting us.

Now, you've actually seen how a government goes about doing such a thing: An official comes out and says publicly "Our government has formally determined that . . . ." and wham, that's all it takes.

Kamala Harris just did it by saying the US "has formally determined that Russia has committed crimes against humanity." I now expect Russian President Putin, in his upcoming national address on February 21, to make a similar statement about the United States (and NATO). I suspect he will say something like "Russia has formally determined that the United States (and NATO) are active co-belligerents and participants in the Ukraine war."

If he says that, after what Harris just said in Munich, then World War 3 is upon us.

I suspect we will be attacked. Here, inside the United States.

I suspect missile salvos will be launched against targets inside THIS country.

I suspect that innocent Americans will start to be killed. Here. In America.

All because Ukraine would not stop bombing the people in Luhansk and Donetsk, and the United States egged-it-on. The United States (and NATO) have done all this deliberately. They WANTED to start a war.

The persons inside the United States and NATO who have done this, should be held accountable.

UPDATE 8:17 AM EST --

US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has issued the formal decision:

Russian Orthodox Church Issues “End of the World” Warning

Patriarch Kirill blames “madmen” for believing Russia can be defeated.

https://summit.news/2023/01/20/russian-orthodox-church-issues-end-of-the-world-warning/

Published on 20 January 2023

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church has warned that any attempt to “destroy Russia” by “madmen” trying to impose their values will lead to “the end of the world.”

The comments were made by Patriarch Kirill after a religious service marking the Orthodox Christian holiday of Epiphany.

According to Patriarch Kirill, “madmen” are stupid enough to believe that Russia, which “has powerful weapons and is populated by extremely strong people,” can be defeated despite the fact that it has “never given in to an enemy and had always emerged victorious.”

The church leader also decried how such “madmen” were trying to “impose on them certain values that cannot even be called values, so that they would be like everyone else and obey those who have the power to control most of the world.”

“We pray to the Lord so that he enlightens those madmen and helps them understand that any desire to destroy Russia will mean the end of the world,” said Patriarch Kirill.

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev made similar remarks when he asserted that Russia had “never lost a major conflict on which their fate depended” and that the result of defeat in a conventional war would be the triggering of nuclear war.

Meanwhile, in a potentially massive new escalation, the New York Times reported that the United States is considering working with Ukraine to attack Crimea, emboldened by the belief that “fears that the Kremlin would retaliate using a tactical nuclear weapon have dimmed.”

“Biden’s neocon handlers are essentially taunting Russia to use nukes against Ukraine,” comments Chris Menahan.

In another Orwellian speech, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told Davos globalists that military escalation is the only way to bring about the end of the war, remarking, “Weapons are the way to peace.”

Other world leaders are insisting that they are fully prepared to wage perpetual war in support of Ukraine.

The Netherlands expel Russian diplomats, close trade mission

The Netherlands on Saturday ordered "a number'' of Russian diplomats to leave the country within two weeks.

Russia's trade office in Amsterdam would also have to close by Tuesday, Foreign Affairs Minister Wopke Hoekstra said.

He accused Russia of trying to post spies in the Netherlands, which is also home to international institutions, including the International Criminal Court and the global chemical weapons watchdog OPCW.

"Russia keeps trying to secretly get intelligence agents into the Netherlands under cover of diplomacy. We cannot and shall not allow that," Hoekstra said.

He did not say exactly how many Russians had been told to leave the country.

Dispute over diplomatic visas

The decision comes amid a dispute over Moscow's apparent refusal to grant visas to Dutch diplomats to staff the Netherlands' consulate in St. Petersburg and embassy in the Russian capital.

Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Netherlands expelled 17 Russian diplomats on suspicion of espionage, and in response, Moscow expelled some Dutch diplomats from Russia.

Hoekstra said the two countries then agreed to admit new diplomats, but he added that Russia was refusing to issue visas.

As a result, the Netherlands is closing its consulate in St. Petersburg on Monday because it lacks staff.

The Netherlands said it had also decided to limit the number of diplomats at the Russian embassy in The Hague to match the number of those at the Dutch embassy in Moscow.

Moscow said it would respond to the Dutch move, the Russian state-owned RIA news agency reported.

North Korea fires a missile as the U.S. and South Korea prepare for military exercises

North Korea on Saturday fired a long-range missile from its capital into the sea off Japan, according to its neighbors, a day after it threatened to take strong measures against South Korea and the U.S. over their joint military exercises.

According to the South Korean and Japanese militaries, the missile was fired on a high angle, apparently to avoid reaching the neighbors' territories, and traveled about 900 kilometers (560 miles) at a maximum altitude of 5,700 kilometers (3,500 miles) during an hourlong flight.

The details were similar to North Korea's Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile test flight in November, which experts said demonstrated potential to reach the U.S. mainland if fired on a normal trajectory.

Japanese government spokesperson Hirokazu Matsuno said no damage has been reported from the missile, which landed within Japan's exclusive economic zone, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Oshima island. Oshima lies off the western coast of the northernmost main island of Hokkaido.

North Korea's Foreign Ministry on Friday threatened with "unprecedently" strong action against its rivals, after South Korea announced a series of planned military exercises with the United States aimed at sharpening their response to the North's growing threats.

While the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said the launch did not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel, territory, or its allies, the White House National Security Council said it needlessly raises tensions and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region.

"It only demonstrates that the DPRK continues to prioritize its unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs over the well-being of its people," it said, calling it a "flagrant violation of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions."

The office of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said his national security director, Kim Sung-han, presided over an emergency security meeting where members accused the North of escalating regional tensions. They denounced North Korea for accelerating its nuclear arms development despite signs of worsening economic problems and food insecurity, saying such actions would bring only tougher international sanctions.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Tokyo was closely communicating with Washington and Seoul over the launch, which he called "an act of violence that escalates provocation toward the international order."

The launch was North Korea's first since Jan. 1, when it test-fired a short-range weapon. It followed a massive military parade in Pyongyang last week, where troops rolled out more than a dozen ICBMs as leader Kim Jong Un watched in delight from a balcony.

The unprecedented number of missiles underscored a continuation of expansion of his country's military capabilities despite limited resources while negotiations with Washington remain stalemated.

Those missiles included a new system experts say is possibly linked to the North's stated desire to acquire a solid-fuel ICBM. North Korea's existing ICBMs, including Hwasong-17s, use liquid propellants that require pre-launch injections and cannot remain fueled for prolonged periods. A solid-fuel alternative would take less time to prepare and is easier to move around on vehicles, providing less opportunity to be spotted.

It wasn't immediately clear whether Saturday's launch involved a solid-fuel system.

"North Korean missile firings are often tests of technologies under development, and it will be notable if Pyongyang claims progress with a long-range solid-fuel missile," said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul. "The Kim regime may also tout this launch as a response to U.S. defense cooperation with South Korea and sanctions diplomacy at the United Nations."

North Korea is coming off a record year in weapons demonstrations with more than 70 ballistic missiles fired, including those with potential to reach the U.S. mainland. The North also conducted a slew of launches it described as simulated nuclear attacks against South Korean and U.S. targets in response to the allies' resumption of large-scale joint military exercise that had been downsized for years.

North Korea's missile tests have been punctuated by threats of preemptive nuclear attacks against South Korea or the United States over what it perceives as a broad range of scenarios that put its leadership under threat.

Kim doubled down on his nuclear push entering 2023, calling for an "exponential increase" in the country's nuclear warheads, mass production of battlefield tactical nuclear weapons targeting "enemy" South Korea and the development of more advanced ICBMs.

The North Korean statement on Friday accused Washington and Seoul of planning more than 20 rounds of military drills this year, including large-scale field exercises, and described its rivals as "the arch-criminals deliberately disrupting regional peace and stability."

South Korea's Defense Ministry officials told lawmakers earlier that Seoul and Washington will hold an annual computer-simulated combined training in mid-March. The 11-day training will reflect North Korea's nuclear threats, as well as unspecified lessons from the Russia-Ukraine war, according to Heo Tae-keun, South Korea's deputy minister of national defense policy. Heo said the countries will also conduct joint field exercises in mid-March that would be bigger than those held in the past few years.

South Korea and the U.S. will also hold a one-day tabletop exercise next week at the Pentagon to sharpen a response to a potential use of nuclear weapons by North Korea.

North Korea has traditionally described U.S.-South Korea military exercises as rehearsals for a potential invasion, while the allies insist that their drills are defensive in nature.

The United States and South Korea had downsized or canceled some of their major drills in recent years, first to support the former Trump administration's diplomatic efforts with Pyongyang and then because of COVID-19. But North Korea's growing nuclear threats have raised the urgency for South Korea and Japan to strengthen their defense postures in line with their alliances with the United States.

South Korea has been seeking reassurances that United States will swiftly and decisively use its nuclear capabilities to protect its ally in face of a North Korean nuclear attack. In expanding its military exercises with South Korea, the United States has also expressed commitment to increase its deployment of strategic military assets like fighter jets and aircraft carriers to the Korean Peninsula in a show of strength.

In December, Japan made a major break from its strictly self-defense-only post-World War II principle, adopting a new national security strategy that includes preemptive strikes and cruise missiles to counter growing threats from North Korea, China and Russia.

Feb 19, 2023

'My enemy's enemy is friend', you must have heard this idiom but it is playing out in geopolitics today. The only difference is that the United States is uniting all of its foes - China, Russia and Iran. The US Secretary of State has hinted that Beijing might be thinking of sending material support to Moscow i.e arms and ammunition.

RUSSIA COMMENCES NUCLEAR ATTACK DRILL; NATO WARNS OF ATTACK IF THEY PERCEIVE RUSSIAN ACTUAL ATTACK!

Russia, on Sunday, began large-scale exercises of its strategic nuclear forces, on the eve of Biden's visit to Europe.

The exercises include large-scale maneuvers for its strategic nuclear forces.

Meanwhile, the White House has told Zelenskyy to prepare for a major Russian offensive now!

There are “no plans” for President Biden to enter Ukraine during his upcoming trip to Poland, NSC spokesman John Kirby said Sunday. HOWEVER . . . .

Biden will address the citizens of Russia and Putin, during his visit to Poland on February 21 according to John Kirby

As of today, Russia has 5977 nuclear warheads; the most in the world. They also have the most advanced nuclear missile technology in the world.

NATO has said if they see activity of Russian nuclear forces that could possibly be preparation to launch a nuclear attack, NATO will attack Russian nuclear forces ( with conventional weapons), it was said.

SARMAT?

Russia President Vladimir Putin is testing his hypersonic "SARMAT" missile and officials in remote districts in eastern Russia have been warned to be ready for a test launch between February 15 and 25

The giant 208-ton hypersonic missile is capable of carrying FIFTEEN individual nuclear warheads including Russia's new Hypersonic "Glide" Vehicles which cannot be stopped by any missile defense presently on earth.

Unusual Flights

As this story is written at 8:36 PM eastern US time Sunday night, there are unusual flights circling over Poland of RC-135W Rivet Joint (electronic surveillance), and Boeing E-3B Sentry (Airborne early warning and control) aircraft accompanied by KC-135T Stratotanker for refueling.

It's unusual because they very rarely fly at night over Europe, almost never.

I can also report a nuclear armed submarine has been placed on the ‘highest level’ of combat readiness and that strategic bombers have been moved to a base in Tambov, Russia.

HAL TURNER ANALYSIS

In a normal, rational, world, these Nuclear exercises would send a clear message. But in OUR world, this message will likely be laughed off by Biden. He doesn’t seem to care.

In fact, I think Biden wouldn't understand a nuke being dropped on his head. In my view, he's so addled by Dementia, he's barely conscious.

At this point, I don’t think anything can halt what is coming.

It is not about occupation it is about survival for Russia, NATO has made it clear they intend on crushing them and dividing it up into regions and exploit their natural resources. Russia is telling them to back the fuck up.

We are closer to WWIII today than we’ve ever been. This time, if nations continue down this road, there will be full blown world war.

Are we ready for that? Rationing? The threat of invasion? Bombings? Military policing? Internment camps? Bread lines? Hunger? Famine? Mass depopulation?

We can barely keep the supply chain going post-Covid. A world war?

Our government needs to let this Ukraine thing go. They, however, will not.

The one thing that bothers me about Biden's trip to Poland . . . . what if it turns into an "Arch Duke Ferdinand" moment?

What if the US "Deep State" plans to kill Biden while he's in Poland, and blame Russia?

Kamala Harris becomes President, and off to war we all go.

This week is likely to be historic. I hope you are all prepared as best you can be with emergency food, water, medicine, communications gear, etc.

The famous Doomsday clock shows 100 seconds* before the Apocalypse. And it won’t happen because of some higher power but upon the initiative of a human being. We’ve never come so close to the edge of the abyss - nuclear war. One more step and the history of mankind is over. And unfortunately, current world problems, personal ambitions of some politicians, and a lack of desire to seek compromises between governments can make this last fatal step real. And then, the Earth will face the third world nuclear war, in which there will be no winners.

Test text message warning of world war to be sent to your mobile in weeks.

A test of the UK's "national warning message" system will be conducted in the next few weeks.

https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1736517/World-war-text-message-pandemic

A disaster alert that warns the public about the outbreak of war or a pandemic will be tested for the first time within weeks.

A “national warning message” will be sent directly to every mobile phone across Britain later this month or in early March.

Before the alert is sent a publicity campaign will warn people to expect it and not to panic when they get it.

Officials say the test may be the only time a nationwide message is sent but it will demonstrate that the new system is capable of reaching every part of the country.

Alerts can also be limited to specific areas by controlling which mobile phone masts they broadcast from. In practice the system is expected to be used for local “extreme weather warnings” such as flood alerts.

The Government previously sent out a national text message at the start of the Covid crisis in March 2020, ordering people to stay at home, but this was only possible with assistance from mobile phone operators. Rather than sending a text, the new emergency alert uses an app included in Android and Apple iPhone operating systems.

This can be turned off in phone settings, although it is thought many phone owners won’t even know they have it installed.

One of the benefits is that the system is not affected by the number of people making phone calls, which is likely to increase if they believe an emergency is imminent.

The message can include a link to a website which provides more information. A source said: “Hopefully this will be the only time we ever need to send a nationwide message.”

There will be “a very high threshold” for issuing an alert which will only happen if lives are at risk, officials say.

Existing methods of contacting the public, such as by text or phone messages and alerts on television or radio, will also continue to be used.

The new alerts are a 21st century equivalent of the former three minute warnings of a nuclear attack during the Cold War.
