    Believe it or not, that applies to all the political&military activities carried out by the collective West for the last 20 years.

    Totally agree with everything you said in that post but would add that the west started out in the early 1990s saying that the cold war was over... they didn't gloat about winning at all... how can they say Russia lost the cold war if their punishment was to become a democratic state?

    But that didn't last... politicians desperate to hold power ran in elections saying they won the cold war so obviously the Russians had to have lost and then it became a matter of what had we won.... eliminated a threat... great, but their country is so messed up... lets pinch as much of it as we can, so they started doing that... and for Russians they thought they had won the cold war because they got rid of communism and were now going to be welcomed into the international community, which as everyone knows is secret code for the west. They pulled their soldiers out of eastern europe and US and UK and French forces moved right on in.

    By 2000 with the BS over the former Yugoslavia it became very clear very quickly the only thing that made sense of what the west said and did in those conflicts was that Serbia was Russias friend and therefore is designated the overall bad guy... everything they do is bad and we need to punish them for that... and why isn't Russia bowing and following our orders and  doing as we demand them to do... almost like they remain an independent country and not a colony that can be ordered around by our lowest member like the Baltic States or Poland.

    Taken quite a few years to realise but we are there now for Russia and indeed China... India has seen glimpses but I think needs a bit more to really understand her real position in this.... now the only people not getting it are the west... but some warning signs are showing and a few voices crop up from time to time.

    The core problem is that Russia is over... we beat them in the cold war so the bestest and the brightest are not working on the problems of Russia anymore... most universities had strong Soviet or Russian studies departments but they are all gone and only idiots remain experts in those fields in paid positions, but the Yes man culture means they are never wrong... they just double down and claim the next set of sanctions will result in Putin becoming unpopular and being kicked out of office... if the west keeps going the way it is going Putin will be the most popular man in Russia ever... and why not... he started with a very weak hand but did what needed to be done and putting the right people in the right places Russia has been transformed from what the Ukraine is now (war in Chechnia, and corruption and no public trust in the military or government) to what Russia is now... fighting two wars, balancing its budgets and still putting money away for a rainy day after the effects of covid and the most sanctions any country has had to endure...

    Putin's rule will be reminded by a history on pair with the greatest tsars the Russian Empire had.
    Clowns who undermine his achievements are ... clowns Laughing
    A guy took a rotten, spoiled, and in a process of disintegration country, and turned it back into the world's superpower status in less than 20 years. No matter the garbage collective west was throwing on him, no matter a load of troubles they put on Russia, he just walked steadily forward. Islamist insurgency, economic crises, political instability ... he managed to resolve that all. He returned pride to regular Russian citizens, a dark shadow of losing the "cold war" is just a distant unpleasant memory. An interesting fact is, that people who know him, portray the opposite of what the western MSM garbage is doing. In reality, each negative characteristic put on him turns out to be the opposite. And we talk about testimonies of dozens of politicians and people around the globe, really serious players like Modi, Xi, Abe, Schroeder, Berlusconi etc.
    When clowns like Macron publics private phone calls, it turns out that Putin is saying in private conversation just the same as he does in public!.
    No deals, no soft play, no opportunism.
    This is a part that the "modern western world" does not understand anymore - that the politician tells the truth.
    If one herd what Putin was saying in the last 20 years, it is very easy to figure out the next steps of Russian politics.
    They will act accordingly to Putin's words, step by step.
    The fate of Ukraine was propheted by him in detail and in different scenarios, on several occasions.
    But the point is, that the western audience really has a mental issue with understanding that what is being said will be executed.

    Russia-West Agreement on Coexistence Needed for Arms Control Dialogue: Deputy FM, 01.26.2023.

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) - It is strange for the United States to demand from Russia the resumption of inspections under the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) after Kiev tried to strike Russian long-range aviation facilities, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said.

    "It is very strange, if not harsh, to demand the resumption of inspections at Russian facilities of strategic offensive forces when the Kiev regime has made attempts to strike at our long-range aviation facilities with the direct military-technical and intelligence-information participation of the United States," Ryabkov told Russian media. The full interview is published on the foreign ministry's website.

    "The question arises: what exactly are the Americans going to check there? Maybe, the consequences of these attacks?" the deputy minister added.

    When asked if Moscow is concerned that without inspections and meetings of the bilateral consultative commission, the United States will accuse Russia of violating the treaty and stop fulfilling it's side, Ryabkov responded by saying that while the collapse of New START will cause "deep regret," Moscow will not "forcibly" keep the United States in the treaty.
    If the Americans decide to aggravate the situation for propaganda purposes, it will be their choice. We are no stranger to Washington destroying arms control agreements instead of taking concrete practical steps to strengthen their viability. [...] We proceed from the fact that the agreement objectively continues to meet the interests of both countries.

    Sergey Ryabkov
    Deputy Foreign Minister

    Ryabkov said that in order to continue the dialogue on arms control with Washington, it is necessary to agree on the principles of coexistence that minimize conflict potential with the West.

    He added that any such agreement should be based on the principles of equality and strict parity. "No unilateral concessions are allowed here," he stressed.

    "For our part, we state that the over-the-top aggressiveness of the United States, which relied on inflicting a 'strategic defeat' on Russia in the all-out hybrid war unleashed against us, made it practically impossible in principle to conduct constructive and fruitful dealings with Washington on arms control in the 'business as usual' mode. This, of course, does not mean that we are giving up arms control as such," the diplomat said.

    Ryabkov added that no new date had been set for talks with the United States on New START on Monday, as the conditions were not right for new talks on the treaty.

    Last month, the deputy FM stressed that Russia-US talks on strategic arms reduction had been paused, not terminated. Moscow postponed a round of nuclear arms control talks with the United States set for late November in Cairo, with Ryabkov emphasizing at the time that the US had "not just demonstrated their reluctance to listen to our signals and reckon with our priorities, but also acted in the opposite way."

    "The situation does not, frankly speaking, allow for setting a new date, ... taking into account this escalation trend in both rhetoric and actions by the United States," Ryabkov stated.

    The diplomat added that Washington wanted to focus on resuming inspections under New START, while stonewalling Russia's request to discuss specifics related to the weapons count under the treaty.

    Signed in 2010 by then-Presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev, the nuclear arms control pact aimed at halving the number of strategic nuclear missile launchers.

    It was set to expire last year, however, Moscow and Washington managed to find common ground and approved a prolongation of the accord for five more years without renegotiating any of its terms. The treaty will now expire on February 4, 2026.

    Accusations begin similarly to the INF. The US is likely to exit the START treaty in the near future. It's good for Russia. Russia has an advantage over the US in ICBM and other strategic weapons technologies. Very Happy

    If the US believes this then they should withdraw from the treaty...

    Either way now that the INF treaty is gone Russia must ramp up production of smaller theatre nukes to fit on their medium and intermediate range weapons they can point at Europe and Japan and Australia.

    Russia should update the RSD-10 (SS-20) and return it to service. Traitor Gorbie destroyed them as he was preparing to sell Russia down the river with his
    tag team partner Yeltsin.

    No more appeasement deals with NATzO and its owner USA.

    Even a YARS in depressed trajectory could perform the same role when launched from Urals

    To clarify the START Treaty is not cancelled
    - the numbers of allowed launchers and warheads will be maintained
    - the notification process will be maintained
    - the inspection process however will not be maintained

    "On the eve of the message to the Federal Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the suspension of participation in the Start Treaty. He stressed that this is a suspension, not a withdrawal from the agreement. At the same time, the head of state said that before returning to the discussion of the START Treaty, the country should understand how to take into account the nuclear arsenals of France and Great Britain."

    Actually they don't need to withdraw, but they did need to stop the inspections... as they said... what did they want to inspect... the damage done by Ukraine terrorist attacks, or the new security measures so they can advise the Ukraine how to bypass them too...

    Russia can ramp up its production of tactical nuclear weapons and put them on short, medium, and intermediate range weapons that are not covered by the START treaty which covers only strategic weapons and not theatre weapons.

    This means Russia can use an SS-20 like weapon to cover targets in Europe and the Middle East, while their START counted weapons can be pointed exclusively at the US.

    Of course moving forward the US can base such medium range weapons in Europe and Asia and so they would need to count as strategic weapons too for the US.

    Yandex Translation:

    It is time for Washington to understand that Russia is a sovereign actor acting on the basis of its own interests, Senator Andrei Klimov told the VZGLYAD newspaper. Earlier, the US State Department announced the invalidity of the suspension of Russia's participation in the New START Treaty.

    “International treaties presuppose the agreement of each party to comply with the conditions prescribed in them. This is the essence of any agreement. But the United States is accustomed to acting in relation to other countries as to its subordinates, ”said Andrey Klimov, head of the Federation Council commission for the protection of Russia's state sovereignty.

    “We are not US vassals. They can blame NATO or EU countries for anything. Russia is a sovereign actor, and we will act on the basis of our own interests. Moreover, Moscow did not terminate the New START. We suspended participation, for which there were good reasons. In particular, such a decision was made to ban US flights over Russia in conditions when Washington is actually waging a hybrid war against us,” the senator notes.

    “States can deny anything they don’t like indefinitely. Even if they oppose the fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Their considerations have nothing to do with our actions. It is time for Washington to come to terms with this thesis,” Klimov sums up.

    Earlier, the US State Department issued a statement in which Russia's announced suspension of participation in START was called "legally invalid." According to the diplomatic agency, Moscow is still "bound by circumstances" in accordance with the Treaty.

    Washington also called on Moscow to allow inspections on the territory of the Russian Federation. In addition, the States demanded that Russia agree to a meeting of the Bilateral Consultative Commission.

    Recall that on March 1, the United States received a notification from Moscow about the decision to suspend participation in the START Treaty. State Department spokesman Ned Price called such actions "irresponsible and deplorable." At the same time, he stressed that Washington is ready to continue constructive cooperation on the issue of arms control with Russia.

    Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree suspending Moscow's participation in the New START Treaty. In his opinion, the agreement is outdated due to the fact that its action  does not formally apply to NATO. Meanwhile, the alliance openly declares its desire to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia, in connection with which taking into account the nuclear potentials of Great Britain and France also becomes vital.

    Post  GarryB Fri Mar 17, 2023 3:31 am

    Should anyone listen to US complaints any more?

    Regarding moving forward the SS-20 was an excellent missile but I honestly think instead of a rocket powered weapon they could come up with a scramjet powered winged missile a fraction of the size and weight but with similar or better performance and being a powered platform could actively evade enemy air defences in a way that a rocket powered weapon would use too much fuel to achieve.

    The SS-20 was just over 16m long and weighed almost 40 tons... rockets are mostly fuel and oxidiser, so if we say 5 tons everything else and 35 tons fuel and oxidiser the divided by four is roughly 9 tons of actual fuel with a further 24 tons of oxidiser to burn the fuel in flight.

    This means a scramjet powered missile could probably be in the 10 to 15 ton weight range with a 5,000km range... reducing the fuel weight by 24 tons of oxidiser means the weapon can be smaller which also means lighter. The design of a scramjet means it can have an internal rocket motor to boost flight speed before the main rocket motor is started but because of the size of the missile you would probably have a solid rocket motor to get the missile airborne and moving which means a solid rocket stage would be needed so maybe 18 tons per missile, which is very manageable.

    You could fit them in standard shipping containers and carry them around on ships and trucks and trains that can look like any other container ship or normal truck or train carriage.

    If you just want a single warhead weapon you could probably develop a smaller 5 ton missile that could be loaded four to a shipping container... long and slim and with wings for the first part of the flight as it climbs and accelerates to speed...

    Once the New START treaty is abandoned (by the US), Russia needs to mass produce 5000km+ range Nuclear tipped Zircon missiles, as Garry said you can save a ton (or 25 tonnes) of weight and US air defences will have no means of shooting it down. Good thing they've put the Tu-160 back into production, eh?

    After what the US did with the ABM and INF treaties it has not a shred of basis to bitch about Russia's suspension (not termination) of
    START participation. But everything about the US is bloody hypocrisy. All of their moral posturing is rotten to the core. Their supposed
    "democracy" is a police state and gang toilet. The grotesque cases of abuse of people in the US at the hands of judges and law enforcement
    are truly exceptional.

    Hitler bitched at the USSR for being a rotten facade. Well, it is the US that is a rotten facade.

    Post  GarryB Sat Mar 18, 2023 2:14 am

    It is interesting because before ICBMs were a thing there were lots of big cruise missile projects to create supersonic very long range strategic missiles and they included winged weapons from the Lavochkin company that made fighter aircraft during WWII... the company that made the La-5FN also made the Burya La-350 which was an enormous delta winged cruise missile with a range of over 6,000km at speeds of mach 3 designed to deliver a nuclear bomb... the Americans were developing similar weapons called the Snark and the Navaho, but the success of the R-7 ICBM meant such projects were cancelled.

    The ramjet motor being used meant flight speeds of mach 3 could be achieved comfortably but not a lot faster than that like an ICBM.

    The scramjet motor gives the opportunity to fly higher and much much faster with the efficiency of a jet engine that scoops up its air as it goes to burn the fuel rather than having to carry all its fuel and oxygen with it at launch which makes it very heavy... needing more powerful rockets to get it moving, needing more fuel, making it bigger and heavier in an unhealthy circle of weight growth... which makes it more expensive too.

    The Thunderbird might be worth looking at, behind a nuclear powered cruise missile... of course they could put multiple nuclear warheads on it and put retractable wheels and call it a drone to get around START BS... Twisted Evil

    The US openly lied about the AEGIS Ashore... they said it was not compatible with Tomahawk cruise missiles because if it was that would violate the INF treaty... 16 days after the INF treaty was officially ripped up by the US they tested a Tomahawk cruise missile from the damn thing....

    The West has shown what "worth" making treaties with them are.

    In reality, they have developed space based weapons and are continuining to position their nuclear arsenal in europe along with their AEGIS shields at Russia's borders while arming religious nutjobs with weapons and encourage them in their believe being "special" and not taking any consequences for their genocidal path.

    Russia needs to do what is good for them and establish past possibilities and political allies like North Korea, half the Middle Eastern states.
    Develop further relationships in African countries that are still big part of the GDP and natural resources to France and the UK. South East Asia is non of our business, let them be handled by China and their influence in the region.

    It is different for Russia than with the US or the west... Russia can be friends with countries around China just like China can be friends with countries around Russia... because neither country demands special treatment or exclusivity in the relationship, and good relations with everyone that is not trying to strategically defeat you and destroy your country and impoverish your people is a good thing.

    The EU and US and UK and the west in general tried to destroy Russia, so sell them things but not at special prices, and sell to others at a higher priority...

    When the conflict in the Ukraine finishes if Germany wants gas then let it repair the Nord Stream pipes first... and by then there will be pipes in Russia going across Mongolia to China and China will have shifted from Coal to more efficient and cleaner gas power generation, and of course a pipeline through the Caspian Sea to Iran and then to the rest of the world through her ports is going to consume a lot of the energy that Russia produces so Germany can buy what is left over... if there is any... Russia should not tell them this until the repairs are complete... how will Germany feel completing gas transit pipes and then having them sit dormant when you are short of gas...

    The development of a whole new range of missiles able to reach the EU and UK very quickly, but are much smaller and lighter and cheaper than previous weapons is going to make coverage of european targets easier and is going to free up a lot of larger heavier missiles to hit the US much harder too.

    It really is not in Russian interests to sign any major deals with the west... Biden might try to cut a deal to make its legacy seem less useless than it was, with poking the bear getting the west closer to nuclear attack than ever before... But Trump would likely rip up such a deal if only for the fact that it has Bidens signature on it.

    Trump promised to get the US out of endless wars and for better relations with Russia... not because they are friends, but because it will benefit the US. He signed the agreement that got HATO forces out of Afghanistan, but made relations with Russia much worse and ripped up some very important agreements.

    From a Russian perspective it has made destroying the EU and UK much cheaper because they get a whole class of weapons back into the tool box.

    It is different for Russia than with the US or the west... Russia can be friends with countries around China just like China can be friends with countries around Russia... because neither country demands special treatment or exclusivity in the relationship, and good relations with everyone that is not trying to strategically defeat you and destroy your country and impoverish your people is a good thing.

    I was meaning that Russia should not do a regime change or pursue such interests in South East Asia like they did and do in Africa to cut off French colonies and their status as a lord over their natural resources.

    Russia should pursue any politics that is not shortsighted or with low beneficial yield for Russia in short terms, but plan ahead for at least 50 years like China does.

    When the conflict in the Ukraine finishes if Germany wants gas then let it repair the Nord Stream pipes first... and by then there will be pipes in Russia going across Mongolia to China and China will have shifted from Coal to more efficient and cleaner gas power generation, and of course a pipeline through the Caspian Sea to Iran and then to the rest of the world through her ports is going to consume a lot of the energy that Russia produces so Germany can buy what is left over... if there is any... Russia should not tell them this until the repairs are complete... how will Germany feel completing gas transit pipes and then having them sit dormant when you are short of gas...

    Not only should Germany be completely be held responsible for making the pipeline operational again but also, if they do not held publicly the USofA accountable for state terrorism on their and Russia's infrastructure, Russia should not make any deals with them. For any other future projects their must be an open TAX and Fees that are by contract and publicly known as "Hypocrisy Tax" and "US Vassal Tax". Any contracts with the West are a economical and political potential burden to Russia and this potential burden is historical fact, so Russia should be compensated accordingly in advance with a contractual manifested admission of guilt and compensation. No negotiations on such clausels, no negotiations on the additional fees and taxes.

    No more nice guy to open Enemies of Russia. No more "partnerships" with people that are openly declaring war and warmongering against Russia. Russia should take more measures to arm, train and make colonies of the West able to fight back and hunt on western vessels on sea regardless being civilian or navy vessels. We know they are arming every piece of nutcase in the world to make attacks on Russia. Russia must make calculated efforts to arm those who will not bite Russia but only the West. The potential groups are slim, but they exist and have little to no effort to organize anything against Russia, nor motivation to do so. Houthis are great example. South America has some potential to do this too.

    Yes, that white European colonial power that is regime changing Africa to suit their views and interests.... except Russia never did that... you are making that up.

    White colonial powers that have been abusing Africa and most of the rest of the world for centuries losing their hold on the countries they continue to try to occupy for no other reason but to sponge off their resources... with the introduction of BRICS and the open revelations of the evil colonial nature of the west has led to African countries rejecting western colonial rule and in many cases are turning to Russia to help them deal with an independent future for their countries and their people.

    Russia is about BRICS and about free trade and non interference.

    Russia will happily assist these countries and regions to develop their resources and pay them a fair price in mutually beneficial trade.... something the Europeans and Americans never did.

    Russia should pursue any politics that is not shortsighted or with low beneficial yield for Russia in short terms, but plan ahead for at least 50 years like China does.

    They are way ahead of you... trade is all about mutual growth and mutual development and mutual profit.... compare that to the one sided trade the west offered them.

    Have to agree, even though Germany is the victim, they will never recover and become a whole country again till they kick that American albatross off their backs and become an independent country. After 80 years it is about time they grew up.
