Western propaganda

Russia is a world leader in nuclear technology which is zero emission while Germany had to restart coal powerplants...

Who is more emission free?

The Sun, It is like Elliot Carver's media empire from Jame's bond Tommorow Never Dies.
Like Elliot the Sun would promote the war of the british navy against china like an glorious imperial march to snuff out an insect.
Only to find the next day the Chinese navy experienced the British navy just like an traffic speed bump on their way to engage their main adversary.

Anyone promoting nuclear war is not sane in the head to begin with for starters..
my personal viewpoint is, i push in the key, and break the key.
I will not murder thousands or millions by blindly following orders.
There is no point, the war was lost as soon the missiles started flying.

Ever seen Europe from Space?.

That is an target-rich enviroment.

Europe can not have, or take nuclear weapons.
We will not survive it.

It is time Europe realised Americans are the cancer on the EU continent.
no offense to U.S servicemen, but the American Foreign policy is an monstrosity.
Throwing a big fit about Cuba at the time,

But Moscow is to accept the reverse? seriously?.
Not to mention that damn U.S VLS facility in Romania that is capable of launching nuclear Tomahawks.

Nuclear war, Is really starting armageddon.
There are no brakes and there is no cancel button.
Once it starts, the cycle of escalation will force it to happen.

If the blast doest not kill you, the radiation will.
The Gamma radiation will damage your cells, At best. takes some years off your life.
average?. gives you cancer. At worst?. will start to liquify the cells in your body.
If you experience this you wish you caught the bomb yourself as it detonated.

This sun article is one example, how an modern media just does not even understand the basics of nuclear weapon exchange.
Its disgracefull and irresponsible really.
Like how they portray it like its an first strike weapon, and how to their readers face no consequences of such weapon systems and the threat or provocation it forms to Russia in this case.
Media like this should be lunged upon by governments for dangerous rethoric.

But yet, ...here we are.

Nuclear weapons are society-ending weaponry.
Plain and simple, it should be viewed as such.

There was this nuclear wargame called Defcon, i played it myself at the time.
Its an really laymans explanation of the moral implications, But gives you an bit of an idea.

The No. 1 problem with the defence against hypersonic weapons isn´t if your interceptor missile is fast enough but the reaction time of the whole AD/ABM system. A Zircon lanched 800 km from a ship gives the captain 4 minutes to react. IF the ship detects the missile in the second of launch, which is not very likely with a ship and the radar horizon and so on. In this scenario, a missile launched from Germany at Moscow, the russian long-range and OTH radars (like Voronesh, Konteyner, Don-2 and Razyazka) will see it instantly which will give the AD/ABM systems enough time to react.

@Garry: Systema Perimeter ?

I am not sure if you have noticed one fact.
You are discussing something that does not exist.
They don't have this weapon, and won't have it at any point in the predictable future.
The whole reinstallation of an artillery unit in Germany is pure propaganda, and what is the funniest part of the whole story, it reached the level of Russian propaganda stories of the 90s.
They were presenting some charts, mockups, and a Captain Bear stories about "nie imiejuszczych analogow w mirie" shreds of the Soviet heritage, in need to interest anyone in that, to keep living.
Now, the Muricans are doing just the same, and this is actually a very sad observation of a used-to-be proud and powerful nation, science and industry.
And what we already know, those non-existing Wunderwaffe they present, are already compromised by existing systems Russia has, and this gap will only widen.

The "reporters" of this tabloid would get a stroke and collapse if Russia would announce that it puts a unit with land-based Zirkon missiles into Kaliningrad.

Russian tabloids have just the same level of idiocy, just like all the others.
There is really nothing to hype about.

Russia back as a superpower is the best thing ever for western politicians. Someone to blame for all your own failings!

The overall problem in that, folks, is that you mostly seem to forget the history.
I have a short lecture for you.
Find&check the "satiric" pictures created towards Russia in let's say whole XIX century.
XIX century is Anglosaxon one. They made the narrative and content. A "tabloid" term is made then&there. It was something to warm up the mob. To create the enemy, boil the mob, and push them to the line of troopers.
Each and any time, when Russian interest and sphere of influence was presented - it faced a harsh reply by the Anglosaxons.
Because the whole world was an Anglosaxon sphere of interest.
The only difference now, is the fact that UK functionally bankrupted in two global wars, leaving the US cousins to carry on the flag.
They will continue to portrait Russia in any way they will find convenient for the goals.
We already facing a change in narrative, because 5+ years ago, it used to be even more psyhotic.
Not sure if I will give the meaning of that, but it was something like that: there is no other bankrupted, dying and irrelevant ex-superpower, that can influence a whole world, same time, and all according to own will.
So just take your popcorn&beer. It only warms up.

Russia was the only power at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries to retain the status of a big military power. Of course, they did not have colonies as such, but they themselves had a huge territory, which they have largely preserved to this day. Even the collapse of the USSR did not cause the collapse of Russia, although it was close. Today, Russia is already the 5th economy in the world and one of the largest military forces, still with a vast territory thanks to which they have close access to many strategic places. The former colonial powers can only be envied. In the last 20 years, Russia has been rebuilding its position very quickly after the collapse of the USSR.

Russia set to launch winter invasion of Ukraine, US media claims

Russia is growing more inclined to invade Ukraine now that colder days are approaching, a weekend American media report has claimed. Western officials have accused Russia of staging a military buildup along Kiev’s eastern borders.

The likelihood of a potential Russian assault on Ukraine is “increasing as the weather gets colder,” CBS News reported on Saturday, citing the customary unnamed US intelligence “sources.” Quite why Moscow would choose the coldest months of the year, with the shortest days, is left unclear.

“An incursion is weather-dependent, but could happen in a matter of weeks, barring intervention from the West,” it continued.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday urged Moscow to “be more transparent on the buildup of the forces around on the border of Ukraine.” Austin added that he was “not sure exactly” about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plan of action.

Ukraine initially refused to back the reports in US media about the buildup of Russian troops, but later changed its tune. Brigadier General Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine’s chief military intelligence officer, told the Military Times on Sunday that Russia is preparing to attack Ukraine by the end of January or the beginning of February.

The Ukrainian military produced a map showing how Russia in a “short-term perspective” could invade Ukraine from all directions, including an incursion from the territory of Belarus.

Russia has denied amassing troops along the Ukrainian border. When reports of possible preparation for an invasion began appearing in US media this month, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova dismissed them as “fake” news that she said was part of a larger disinformation campaign waged against Russia.

In an interview broadcast on Rossiya-1 TV channel on Sunday, Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson for the Kremlin, said the West was “artificially stoking hysteria.”

Heightened tensions between Russian and the West have coincided with a refugee crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border. This saw up to 4,000 would-be asylum seekers, most of whom are from the Middle East, gathering near the frontier, in the hope of reaching Poland. Some even pelted guards and police with stones.

EU officials have accused Belarus of effectively engineering the crisis as part of its hybrid warfare against the bloc. Minsk replying by saying the EU was waging a hybrid war of its own by supporting Belarusian opposition figures and anti-government media.

The Polish Border Guard revealed on Thursday that the refugee camp had been cleared. On Saturday, it reported that around 100 “very aggressive foreigners, brought to the border by the Belarusian authorities” had tried to force their way into Poland.
