      🇷🇺💬 Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin:

      [August 06 is a] Black day.

      79 years ago, a terrible tragedy occurred – hundreds of thousands of civilians died as a result of the US atomic bombing of the city of Hiroshima. A few days later, the same fate befell Nagasaki .

      There was no military necessity for this.

      Washington later began to use nuclear weapons to intimidate other countries : they burned Vietnam with napalm, invaded Korea, Afghanistan and Iraq, and bombed Yugoslavia, Libya and Syria.

      Time goes by, but US methods do not change.
      They have turned Ukraine into a staging area for war with our country. They are expanding NATO infrastructure in the regions of Asia against China. They are carrying out missile strikes on peaceful cities in Iran with their allies.
      They kindle new conflicts and fuel old ones.

      The United States remains the only country to have used nuclear weapons. But if 79 years ago they were the only ones to have them, today the situation has changed. The presence of nuclear potential in Russia and China is a deterrent to the aggressor.

      Moreover, the high-tech weapons developed in our country recently allow us to speak of an advantage over the USA.

      Therefore, when Washington and Brussels, threatening Russia’s security, supply planes and missiles, and coordinate military actions in Ukraine, the parliaments and citizens of the United States and the European Union must understand that the actions of the insane leaders of their states can lead the world to tragic consequences.

      Even Iranian media makes fun of Biden. This is just getting sad.
      ⭕ Just a thought: The U.S. may not have seen any indications of an impeding attack because Iran is not planning to launch its missiles from mobile launchers, which requires staging that can be picked up by intelligence like satellites etc.

      Rather, it plans to use underground missile silos, which can launch several missiles instantaneously without any observable pre-staging; an attack with virtually no warning.

      💠@Fotros Resistance:
      ⭕ Tasnim’s military correspondent:

      “Recently, there have been reports about the arrival of Russian electronic warfare systems in Iran. I don’t have an opinion on the accuracy of these reports.

      ⭕ According to Israeli news service Channel 14, Russia has reportedly transferred Iskander missile systems and Murmansk-BN electronic warfare systems to Iran.

      The transfer was reportedly carried out using an IL-76 military transport plane, which made several flights between Russia and Iran.

      Until now, Iran was not known to possess such weapons and there had been no public discussion about their transfer.

      This suggests that Russian personnel could accompany the equipment to operate it, as it is unlikely that Iranian specialists have received training on these systems.

      The Murmansk-BN systems are designed to suppress satellite navigation and communication at distances of up to 5,000 km.

      The Iskander systems have a range of up to 500 km, but Iran would need missiles with a range of about 1,200 km to reach Israel. However, the Iskander K model could reach 1,500 km.
      [See the Iskander video I posted yesterday! In last thread. The shorter range variant would be ideal against USUK bases surrounding Iran.. Iskander has a nuclear variant… this missile system really puts NATO’s Knickers in knots]

      On the morning of August 6, 2024, the Armed Forces of Ukraine committed an armed provocation on a section of the state border of the Russian Federation within the Kursk region.

      Border settlements in the Kursk region were subjected to shelling.

      Border guards, together with attached units of the Russian Armed Forces, have taken measures to repel armed aggression.
      ⭕ 🇷🇺🇺🇦The attack of the khokhol in the Kursk region is not just a TikTok action. In fact, this is most likely the beginning of another desperate attempt by the khokhol to approach the negotiations with a “strong position”. They have not been talking about victory in Ukraine for a long time, now they are thinking about how to persuade Russia to keep fewer liberated territories for itself and not to give up Kherson and Zaporozhye. Kiev strategists decided that by gathering more human flesh and throwing it into the attack, they will force Russia to retreat, leave part of the “old” territories and then exchange them for new ones. Everything will end with a severe defeat of the khokhol and huge losses.

      Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida acknowledged that the atomic bomb caused the deaths of over 100,000 people but did not specify who was responsible for dropping it. Instead, he highlighted Russia’s alleged nuclear threats.

      Moreover, Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui condemned the ongoing arms race, focusing his remarks on the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.

      In addition, Hiroshima Governor Hidehiko Yuzaki also chose not to mention the US but emphasized that no weapon, once created, can be guaranteed not to be used.

      In August 1945, American pilots dropped atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The explosions and their aftermath resulted in the deaths of 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 74,000 in Nagasaki.

      💠 In November and December of 2023, the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC), based in Arlington, Virginia, ran a wargame the results of which directly challenged assumptions about Israel’s nuclear weapons policy and when they might or might not use them. “For decades, most security analysts assumed Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons were only deployed to deter attacks and that Iran would not dare to attack Israel directly,” Henry Sokolski, NPEC executive director, wrote in a report published by Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists on Feb. 27, 2024.

      He gave his report the headline, “Wargame Simulated a Conflict between Israel and Iran: It Quickly Went Nuclear.

      “This after-action report describes a war game originally designed nearly two years ago. It directly challenges these assumptions and suggests that military strikes between Israel and Iran—including nuclear ones—are possible.” The 35 participants in the wargame included Republican and Democratic Hill staff; U.S. Executive Branch officials and analysts; leading academic scholars; national security and Middle Eastern think tank experts; and U.S. military personnel.

      The scenario of the war game involves an Israeli decision to target Iran’s nuclear program after detecting signs that Iran has begun mating nuclear warheads to missiles. Israel decides initially to strike Iran using conventionally-armed hypersonic weapons provided by the U.S., but these fail to have the desired effect. After a series of devastating strikes by both sides, and including Hezbollah, and tepid support from the U.S., Israel decides it has no choice but to launch a nuclear barrage of 50 warheads against 25 Iranian military targets (including Russian-manned air defense sites).

      “The aim is to cripple Iranian offensive forces and perhaps induce enough chaos to prompt the Iranian revolutionary regime to collapse,” Sokolski reports. “Almost immediately after the Israeli strike, however, Iran launches a nuclear attack of its own against an Israeli air base where American military are present.” The game ended at that point, but left a host of unanswered questions.

      “The strategic uncertainties generated after an Israeli-Iranian nuclear exchange are likely to be at least as fraught as any that might arise before such a clash,” Sokolski continues. “An unspoken hope among security experts is that nuclear deterrence can work between Israel and Iran. Such optimism, however, discourages clear thinking about what might happen if deterrence fails and both countries use nuclear weapons.” During the game’s play and discussions that followed, “participants emphasized how difficult it was to develop appropriate policy responses to Israeli or Iranian nuclear use as neither contingency was adequately considered before use.”

      Sokolski, along with two co-authors, had published an op-ed in the Washington Post a week earlier in which they called for an end to U.S. secrecy regarding Israel’s nuclear program. “One of the best ways to clarify these matters is for American and Israeli experts and officials to peek into the future by gaming different nuclear war scenarios,” Sokolski and his co-authors wrote in the op-ed.

      “Considering the strategic risks and uncertainties that a possible nuclear exchange between Israel and Iran revealed in this game, the formulation of proportionate military, political, and economic policies to deter nuclear use appears crucial,” Sokolski concludes in his after-action report. “This requires gaming and careful planning—both efforts that the United States’ outdated policy toward Israel nuclear-related classification all but precludes.”

      Though months have passed since the war game and the after-action report, the matter of Israel’s nuclear arsenal is perhaps even more relevant now than it was then, particularly when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to drag the U.S. into a war with Iran.

      Mr P

      About hypersonic. Remarks. Somewhat conjectural.

      There is a calculus accounting shape (drag coefficient and area) mass density, initial kinetic energy (how much energy was imparted in by the launcher), pathway (how long the machine experiences drag and the rate of increase in drag as the air density increases with loss of altitude. To stay hypersonic it needs to be very dense – (like mostly tungsten (I’d guess)), These are pretty basic aerodynamic calculations, and the engineering demands some very exotic materials – but indeed just about any streamline shape with significant mass density goes hypersonic if it falls out of sub orbital or orbital pathways, if it doesn’t melt or disintegrate from stress. And even at low altitudes with plenty of rocket boost a projectile can go hypersonic – some rifle bullets are hypersonic…(in a sense the bullet is escaping the “rocket” – the rifle, which accelerates into the shooter’s shoulder) and there are laboratory “cannons” that make little things go extremely fast. Lesser but significant are variations in tidal forces and gravity…so called  coriliosis effects – then there’s the big problem of control, guidance –  The air around the machine gets very hot, so hot that it conducts electricity – vaguely like the tenuous gas in a fluorescent lamp or the old radio tubes do. This is nice for a weapon designer, as it makes the thing essentially radar-proof – invisible to radar. But it means that the machine is more or less blind to radio input. How the Russian, Chinese, Iranians systems of guidance work is a big secret…my guess is optical-celestial (some portion of the light spectrum is transparent, as a “window” looking up from the doral portion of the machine. combined with inertial guidance – which measures and integrates acceleration and attitude and altitude with time – running through very sexy algorithms…the interim conclusions would be combined with celestial – optical ie the machine looks at the sky.  The second big problem is how to change direction and control angles of attack in the atmosphere. No one is saying anything about this. I can imagine two. One is gas bleeds through tiny lateral ports – changing the local drag very slightly according to the guidance algorhythm. Another possibility is changing the center of mass – in the atmosphere the machine is expending energy, slowing. Imagine a heavy slug  inside that can move in two lateral directions by servos motors – change in yaw and pitch would occur. My guess is that both methods are combined.

      Additional at terminal phase, ie the last few kilometers, a machine might well fire a small rocket engine to add to its final velocity. “Velocity” here is slightly incorrect, by the way, maneuvering objects have speed, not velocity – unless they’re not maneuvering – then the speed is equal to the velocity. Imagine a car going 100 mph at Bonneville Salt Flats – the speed and the velocity are the same. But let the car do 100 MPH at a Indianapolis and the speed in 100, the velocity is constantly changing. Mostly these two words are used interchangeably.  But they matter, sometimes, a lot. It takes energy to change velocity. Speed, ignoring friction, does not.

          It was a long interview, but I watched it. FWIW I completely agreed… I had not known about the technical difficulties involved with the imaging of and differentiating the rocket launches from other IR signals. It was fascinating.  Taken as a couple, the basic elements being Russia and the US, imho it amounts to a “machine” that so long as it’s running is a doomsday machine that’s already triggered, and will go off if it runs long enough. That can happen at any time. The machine can be taken apart – disconnected by political choice, or destroyed by a coronal mass ejection that hits the earth hard enough and burns the orbiting parts, or maybe by a comet strike that’s big enough. Imagine a bucket of nitro-glycerin on the stove, heating slowly…only on a global scale.

        Sadly Mr P, I suspect the corn-fed lads are doomed. Indeed, they were likely doomed with the first UNSC veto, when the satanic trajectory was conclusively established. You can fool some of the people all the time, but.. not the civilizational-states at really any stage at this point. The risible game of “Zion plays bad cop, and USUK plays good cop” shall not stand. The criminal piratical cabal plays for time – to finish culling Palestinians and seed collapse through internal civil war in all regional countries through enforced governmental inaction. That window has now closed. Even the threat of nuclear war no longer works – because it is clear all regional countries are to get the Gaza treatment anyhow. With what more can one threaten a people???? So whining about FF and the risk of war expansion by attacking US troops is a waste of time and non-starter. The initiative has passed to the other side now. They are about to kill them, come hell or highwater. The western “experience” can be previewed in the 404 UkroNazi..  Every single one of those lads is already a goner, like the colonialists of Zion

      Very interesting info RE hypersonics Mr P and Amarynth. I have always found it interesting that Andrei Martyanov says that Russia’s hypersonics are fully shoot and forget, which means that once they have received their target’s general area, they have active seeker capability, likely including imaging in some part of the spectrum to identify the target in the general area of the coordinates given at launch (e.g., by image correlation, which is how the houthis do some of their drone targeting).

      Also martyanov has some thoughts on Ted Postol’s strategic ideas on ballistic missiles if you search his blog for “postol”. Here’s one. https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2024/06/responding-to-ted-postols-thesis.html

      Still Postol provides a useful US perspective on the issue.

        I think Martanov actually confirms Postal’s most basic argument. That was/is that the people in the US believe that they can do a first strike and get away with it. That they themselves are in “group-think, and must be in that state in order to “advance” in their jobs. That this belief is delusional is the fundamental problem. I had some doubts about Postal’s claim that Ruskie was unable to see US launches, as I noticed he did not mention OTH radar or the likelihood of additional satellites. What seems, probably is, true, is that the couple, the pair of machine elements of Rus and US forms a doomsday machine. If the US were to act upon their delusions as to Ruskie capabilities by launching many missiles, we might hope that Ruskie holds off on counter-fire. Slim hope. Some US missiles would almost surely hit their targets in Russia…after that reprisal would almost certainly take place. Doomsday? They say that about 100 bombs would kill most people on earth, most from starvation due to the smoke from burning targets. In the assumed “exchange” 100 seems like a low number.

        OTH radar, by the way, was the first radar ever used. First noticed in the form of radio echos from ships at a distance over the horizon – a surprise in US fleet exercises in the 1920-1930 period, and in WW2 by the UK “Chain Home” system. Chain Home could see V2 launches in Europe, and vector bombers to attack the V2 launch sites in a very short time. That made it necessary to make the V2 launch system mobile. Modern signal processing makes OTH pretty accurate. It depends on ionization of the upper atmosphere, and that waves around and varies constantly, even going away sometimes with Earth magnet field variations, solar conditions create the ionosphere in interaction with the magnetic field. My view that a CME can disarm the doomsday machine, is not changed, that and “ground-based” 😉 affairs, ie political-technical matters may actually shut the machine off in time.

        I did some recent exploration of the character of “group delusions” and the holders of false histories and beliefs, of what Postal called “group-think”. It is highly obdurate. Almost impenetrable. In “adults” anyway. In kids it’s probably somewhat plastic.

        I had missed, skipped, Martanov’s reply to Postal. Actually I wasn’t going to bother with Postal at all, until AHH suggested it. Thanks to both of you. Quite an excursion!

          True, I think Postol and martyanov agree on the state of US elites doing strategy. And I agree with you, the miscalculation thinking the Russians do not see launches at sea when they actually can is very very dangerous. martyanov did his thesis on ASW so he’d know. Based on Martyanov’s blog, it seems he communicates with postol, so some professional disagreement. I would think that OTH radar is preferable and more defendable than satellites anyway.

      Resistance operations in Gaza.

      The military wing of the Palestinian Hamas continues to grow stronger and more powerful, despite 11 months of high-intensity, asymmetrical conflict in which Israel and its allies have dispensed with all the contingencies of the laws of war.

      It seems that the movement, which was not popular before the war, has become by force of circumstance the only possible hope for tens of thousands of people whose families and loved ones have been massacred.

      The video is interesting in more ways than one, as it shows the headquarters of one of the Rafah brigades, which appears not only intact but in control of the terrain despite a clear lack of resources.

      There’s a maxim that’s just been born in the Gaza Strip, and which everyone is repeating: “for decades we were led to believe that it took armies from dozens of countries to fight Israel, and now we discover that a handful of men have shaken this paper tiger“. |media|
      China continues to develop a system similar to the American Starlink satellite data transmission system.

      The first 18 satellites of the Chinese system have already been put into orbit.

      The Chinese system is less expensive and reportedly performs better than Starlink.

      Elon Musk is not going to be happy.
      [these starlinks were supposed to take over after total chaos on earth severed land communications, whether due to wars, cut subsea cables, folks scavenging for copper wiring as already rife in USA, downing of most grids, etc.. and a way to remote-control mankind even once the Sea Pirates were rolled back, off the world-island. However all this appears moot now, with Armageddon rolling out. The skies shall be blasted too — then which constellations can stand??]
      War in the Middle East:

      Israel has eliminated Ismael Haniyeh, a moderate from the outside, only to find itself facing Yahia Al-Sinwar, not only its most determined, systematic, consistent and hard-line enemy, but also, without a doubt, the best Palestinian strategist of all time. Those who ordered Haniyeh’s assassination should have raised the white flag and started a general evacuation of the Israeli population towards western Ukraine 🇺🇦 and southern Argentina 🇦🇷, because what they’ve just had as a result is even worse than all their worst nightmares ☠️…
      Life is always strange. Yahia Al-Sinwar was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1989 for his role as “judge” in the death sentences handed down to four Palestinian informers for Israel’s security services.

      He was released in 2011 as part of an exchange of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

      With a degree in Arabic literature, this poor child from Khan Younes learned Hebrew in prison and distinguished himself by his assiduous daily reading of the entire Israeli press.

      It was in prison that he fell ill and lost his sight due to a tumor in his brain. He underwent brain surgery in Suruka, and after his operation the prison authorities reminded him that he owed his life to the State of Israel. Israeli officials tried in vain to lure him (“he could be one of us”) and to grant him Israeli nationality. All to no avail. On his release from prison, Al-Sinwar resumed his activities. He would say that he no longer felt like fighting, and that the Gaza Strip could easily resemble Singapore or Dubai. In effect, Al-Sinwar replaced Haniyé in the Gaza Strip and appeared to the Israelis as someone concerned with the socio-economic aspects of the Strip. The Israelis concluded that Gaza was no longer a priority or a threat, and that they should focus on the Syrian and Iranian threats. This was a fatal mistake.

      The general idea was patented by Szilard (UK patent) That’s true. After that it was still unclear how, even if, it was possible. Einstein thought it would be so big that only a steamship could carry one. More research revealed two potential materials, an isotope of plutonium, and an isotope of Uranium. Pu was unsuitable for a simple bomb, a “gun-type”, but U would work. (iirc there are actually two workable isotopes of U. After than almost everything was just engineering. The only real secret was that it could be done in a package small enough to move around, a “bomb”. Heisenberg was pretty sure, probably, how to do it. However the resources to do it were by that time unavailable to the Germans – it’s just too big a project with the ways of the 1940’s. The “secret” was made essentially public at Alamogordo, when that gadget worked.  Engineering details, like methods of isotope separation, reactor design for breeding Pu, designs of implosions devices…did matter, but leaked out almost immediately. Those secrets were ephemeral and actually almost trivial. Any bright educated bunch with plenty of resources could make these things within a few years.

        “Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don’t want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

        Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

      The retaliatory strike is already set in stone, the response has not happened yet as Iran needs to prepare for an all out war and a bigger retaliation by israel as they have promised they’ll respond if Iran attacks.

      Obviously it’s easy to nag and complain behind your phone screens for Iran to attack, but we’re talking about millions of Iranians whose life will be in danger. So Iran has to make the necessary preparations and be ready in case a response comes from israel.

      They worked on the thing, and of course intended to use it, but were unable to mount the necessary scope of industrial  project. For example, iirc, the Manhattan Project used about 10% of the total electrical capacity of the US, entire industries had to be built, new material (teflon, for example) had to be invented. They might have been able to build radiological “bombs” – but not a real atomic explosion. TNT was a more “profitable” way for them. Graphite is generally contaminated with boron, chemically quite similar to carbon, so they realised that rare isotope “heavy water” (3 hydrogens instead of two) was necessary. The UK destroyed the heavy water in a raid, and damaged the electrolysis plant in Norway by commando raid, later, iirc, by bombing from the air.

      The UK bomb project, Churchill’s ardent lust, was always for the USSR. The UK project transfered to the US when the Brits realised they themselves couldn’t do it. Hence it was a combined effort for the US and Canada and England, and very importantly, European expat boffins. The boffins were very motivated by their angst at the idea that the Germans would beat them to it, and did not realise that the bomb was “for Russia” all along.

      The bombs on Japan were simply political instruments for intimidating the USSR, and effects tests. They had nothing to do with the Japanese surrender, which was decided by the Red Army destroying the vast Japanese Army in Manchuria.

      After facing deliberate stalling on a permanent ceasefire for about eight months, did the Palestinians just tell Zion to shove it?? BTW, this is one of ruthless leaders we discussed who would eventually come to the fore.. note his expertise is handling not only war and like Nasrallah understands the mind of the zionazi enemy, but has experience dealing with internal snitches and hypocrites.. the leading mechanism of Anglo-Zionist assassination is invariably the snitch rather than proferred high tech surveillance..


      Godspeed heroes of the anti-satanic forces!


      Excellent historical review of the evolution of Hamas. Note the return of Hamas to Syria. Yahya Sinwar (Yahya = John in Arabic) was chosen by the leadership that has returned to Damascus. The old “Qatar & Turkey 5-Star-Hotel” political cadre is being sidelined..
      PS – listen to true words of the Martyr Nizar Banat, who we discussed around October last year when highlighting the hypocrisy and crimes of the Palestinian Authority. Powerful! And his words grow like an oak by the day, after we see the certain Arabs defending Zion. Fortunately all this riffraff are not for long in this long suffering world.

      In relation to the deployment of several F-22s to the Persian Gulf region, I confess I am somewhat puzzled.

      The F-22 is an air-superiority fighter. It’s not a strike aircraft. It’s probably able to shoot down slow-flying drones and cruise missiles, but carries a much smaller payload than the F-15.

      So what’s the point?

      F22 can carry bomb type B-61  – a nuclear bomb of variable yield, ie a hydrogen bomb.

      (I think that’s on the “option list”…and of course it’s as you say, supposed that the “enemy” (Russia) may send some sexy airplanes too. 

      at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-22_Raptor I do not see this spoken of.

      It is pretty sexy flying machine. However “stealth” depends on assumptions about the type of radar the putative opponent has. I note Ruskie radars are also very sexy, and that the big jamming systems now present in the zone of assumed target may present two big non-assumed conditions. These are: 

      1) The high power jamming may well disrupt the function of the aircraft.

      2) In theory the high power jamming may, probably does, “light up” whatever radar cross section the aircraft presents. This illumination can, imho, be integrated to a radar to reveal the illuminated, ah, “target aircraft”. (I recall that at big air show the F35 was easily tracked by a modern radar.) 

      This radar business is evolving, and the Soviets, er Reds, er, Ruskies are very good at it.

      ⭕ ♦ PFLP: Sinwar capable of achieving Palestinian unity

      Deputy Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Jamil Mezher, speaking to Al-Mayadeen:

      🟢 Choosing Sinwar as the leader of the political bureau is an initial response to the enemy and a confirmation that Hamas’s choice is resistance, and that decisions are up to the battlefield

      Brother Sinwar, by leading the Hamas movement, will give new momentum to the movement because he is a person capable of creating national unity and strengthening partnership

      What is Mezher really saying here?

      The PFLP Deputy Sec. Gen. (to imprisoned Sec. Gen. Ahmad Sa’adat, bottom-right photo) is spotlighting the fact that Yahya Sinwar, the new elected president of Hamas, has taken the movement away from corrupt politics and back to the essential goal: armed struggle for the liberation of Palestine

      Sinwar is credited for reconciling Hamas with Iran and the Axis of Resistance, and combating the US-Israeli efforts of Palestinian national split. He was a life-serving prisoner and spent time with the true leaders of the resistance, Marwan Barghouti – commander of Fatah’s armed wing (top photo), and Ahmad Sa’adat – commander of the PFLP… All the real Palestinian leadership is in prison, and that’s what the whole exchange deal is about: liberating those who can make a difference, and ending Israel’s excuse for occupying the recognized territories (the first step to the collapse of the Zionist project) – ending the national split, by uniting parties under one unity government, and freeing the one man who can make that happen: Barghouti 🟡

      Moreover, Mezher and all others who have made congratulatory statements these two days hint at one “silent” thing, which is the liberation of Hamas from the political pressures of “those guys”, whom we all abstain from mentioning during wartime… (more on that later). National unity has been solidified in Al-Aqsa Flood like never before, and all parties have shown no readiness to “condemn” Hamas for anything, despite having the biggest differences before the war. Internal dispute is replaced with full unity when faced with the Nazi enemy!

      Israel’s worst nightmare is being realized: all Palestinian factions, from Islamist to secular nationalist and communist, have understood the danger of national split, and are uniting hand in hand against the terrorist ZionNazi colonial entity (or as Mr. Kim 🇰🇵 best describes them: “Mercenaries of global imperialism, who call themselves Israel”)

      Remarking that enticing the big main nazi enemy to come with a massive effort that cannot be properly supported in logistical train to support its tottering outpost is far more practical than sending expeditionary forces across the seas. Although,in the fullness of time that too may well take place in the “mop up” phase. Ahem. Persian Strategists most subtle! (In a street fight I have heard a fella say “bring it”, altogether very droll.) Having said that, the inability of the Imperial Force to occupy the vast spaces and to subdue the obdurate peoples involved strongly suggests that simple ruining is the Imperial method planned. That probably implies nuclear explosives, perhaps biological ones as well, are within the Imperial designs. As determined, the F22 can carry such nuclear machines, and perhaps avoid destruction by Resistance Forces long enough to complete their missions. Some can get to their firing zone. The weapon, B-61, is a gravity bomb, the carrier must actually drop it somewhere not far from the actual target.

      Cyprus becomes a fortified fire-base for fascist empire to protect the nazi client outpost…and smash any forces that object. By this it also becomes a juicy target zone. 

      (not everybody is able to read Duran, hence the lengthy quote)

      “Danroc@Danroc 1 hour ago

      @theduran Cyprus – A Strategic Zionist Hub Subjected to Forced Militarization (3/7):
      Despite explicit warnings from the resistance for Cyprus to not involve itself in matters that don’t concern it, the island has witnessed a surge in diplomatic and military activities in the last two weeks, serving as a strategic hub for the zionist entity. Flights have increased from “Tel Aviv” to Cyprus in recent days as the island serves as a key evacuation point for Western diplomatic staff from Lebanon and the zionist entity. Military exercises have also previously been conducted there simulating attacks on southern Lebanon and Iran, with current exercises being carried out in Greece.

      According to Al-Akhbar, a large American military delegation arrived in Cyprus in recent days, bringing with them a massive amount of equipment, weapons, and air defense systems. Cypriot officials stated that they had never before seen such quantities of weapons, acknowledging that their purpose is to turn Cyprus into an interception platform for the expected responses from Iran, Hezbollah, and Yemen.

      Further, British bases, which occupy about 5% of the island, strengthened their presence with air defense systems and experts, as did German forces in Cyprus that seek to help with evacuations. The German government has also approved the deployment of transport planes, naval vessels, and forces in order to assist with the evacuation of its EU nationals from Lebanon and the zionist entity.

      Hurriedly, American forces also recently requested to start joint military exercises in Cyprus, a matter that typically takes years of planning. In the end, what is happening to Cyprus now is a militarization of the island seemingly against their will, but it doesn’t make it less of a partner in the aggression, especially in light of hundreds of British spy missions over Gaza having taken off from Cypriot bases since October 7th.

      Be careful Alex. Might find yourself in the thick of it. Hope not. Though it would be nice to see the military bases hit. “

        “Cypriot officials stated that they had never before seen such quantities of weapons, acknowledging that their purpose is to turn Cyprus into an interception platform for the expected responses from Iran, Hezbollah, and Yemen.”

        I agree Cyprus is a western island hub to fall back upon as Zion, and most West Asia, is overrun, Dien Bien Phu-style, and also to serve as ammo, C&C & hardware depot, but this latter point as AD platform appears pure disinfo? I read Patriots interceptor radars have a reach of 150km? Even the world best Russian AD such as S400 has maximum coverage of 4-500km?? So logically, being on Cyprus, about 300km+ from coastal occupied Palestine, would do them LITTLE or ANY good, especially if the expected Iranian waves will largely consistent of very fast missiles this time. And even less time wrt to Hezbollah, and who may elect to focus on using drones.. and to cover all Zion from Cyprus is an additional 100km, for total of 400-450km!

        So Cyprus is mostly about pure aggression. Evacuations are likely another BS, keeping in mind how most of the West refused jewish boats fleeing Hitler to disembark and sent them onwards to Zion. The West could care less about jewish lives, save as disposable pawns. Yeah, Younger Alex should get out. Even coastal Greece or near NATO bases won’t be safe for what comes.

Recall that Nagasaki designated target was the city center – women and kids and old men, and the bombs were “effects tests”. Recall the “strategic bombing” of German cities, the wholesale wonton murder in the European war, and in China, and Korea and in Vietnam…and that the only reason Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not already burned was to save them for the atomic tests – most, dozens, of other Japanese cities were already ashes – and just now in the Kursk salient, and in Odessa Trade Union building, and at the Maidan in 404. And at 911 too. Cyprus is a support base being fortified for attacking the Persians and the other civilizational states.

      There is a major push from Egypt, Qatar, and the United States to get Israel and the Hamas movement to resume talks on the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on August 15 in Doha or Cairo.

      This bit is from TASS

      “We have called on both sides to resume urgent discussion on Thursday, August 15 in Doha or Cairo to close all remaining gaps and commence implementation of the deal without further delay, Amir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, President of Egypt Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and President of the United States Joe Biden said in their joint statement released by Amir’s Office.

      Intermediaries informed about their readiness to present the final draft of the agreement on ceasefire in Gaza and liberation of Israeli hostages.

      “The three of us and our teams have worked tirelessly over many months to forge a framework agreement that is now on the table with only the details of implementation left to conclude,” the leaders stressed. “As mediators, if necessary, we are prepared to present a final bridging proposal that resolves the remaining implementation issues in a manner that meets the expectations of all parties,” they added.

      Just a watchlist item.  Iran said they will not do anything to scuttle peace talks, but really, they still will take revenge.

      So … what’s the consensus estimate at this point for the total number of AFU combat effectives that got fed into this Kursk Kauldron?

      The Russian MoD claims to have inflicted ~1000 casualties as of several hours ago. No doubt that number has grown in the meantime.

      I wonder how the remaining survivors are going to pass the time between now and when the big boom with their name on it pays a visit?

      “The naivety of Russians is simply amazing.”

      This is facile nonsense, in my view.

      The conclusion that Putin was ever once deceived by western treachery is so manifestly false.

      Oh, sure, Putin has frequently played up the “we were deceived” line as a rhetorical device. But everything Russia actually did over the course of the past two decades+ was in urgent preparation to restore its military, its economy, and strengthen its global diplomatic prestige.

      Putin’s Russia was absolutely not ready to face NATO in 2014.

      And yet, with extreme boldness, Putin managed to reclaim Crimea, reinforce the Donbass against attack, and buy time for Russia to better prepare.

      They were still not fully prepared in February 2022, but managed their affairs remarkably well, all things considered. By July they had severely attrited the original version of the AFU, and have since then comprehensively destroyed two NATO/AFU hybrid armies.

      Every substantive statement from Putin from the beginning of this war to the present day makes clear that the minimum objectives are those he laid out on February 21, 2022: the most significant of which is the demand that NATO military presence be rolled back to its pre-1997 borders.

      This has been explicitly and repeatedly reaffirmed.

      But these things must be done delicately.

      Winning an existential struggle against a crumbling empire whilst still avoiding the scenario of many of the great cities of the world being turned to ashes and rubble … well, it’s a very dicey business.

      You can’t just “gird up your loins” and charge in with guns blazing.

      We’re living through the most complex collection of geopolitical dynamics in all of human history.

      There is immense risk and unpredictability at work.

      In my view, as I attempt to analyze the aggregate of considerations — both in Eastern Europe and around the globe — Russia, China, and Iran are clearly attempting to somehow cooperate to roll back Anglo-American hegemony, while yet avoiding nuclear war.

      And the events in Kursk over the past few days absolutely pale in significance in the broader picture of the current perplexities of the nations.

      The desperate raid-in-force in Kursk was destined from its outset to culminate in abysmal failure, and consequently the moment of collapse of the entire line of contact has now been greatly hastened.

      How can you people not see and understand that, regardless of any fault to be found in minute details, the overall Russian strategy — dating back to the beginning of Putin’s reign — has been characterized by historically rare strategic wisdom and necessary prudence?
      🤦‍♂️

      [Well said! Response to:
      “🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Ukraine gets green light from NATO for action in Kursk – Politico

      It is already more than clear that NATO escalated the situation and carried out a direct invasion of Russian territory and crossed any possible red line of Putin, which apparently he has an unlimited number of them.

      One thing is clear. After every attempt by Putin to enter into peace negotiations, he receives such a slap from which he cannot recover for months, and he pays for those exhibitions of his truce very dearly with many victims.

      For months, Ukrainian officials and some Western officials have talked about the possibility of negotiations as they prepare for action in Kursk.

      Putin fell for it and fell for the deception again for the fourth time.

      The naivety of Russians is simply amazing.

      Russia will never have peace while NATO breathes. Never. The only way for peace in Russia is when it is divided into 100 countries and the Russians dig in the mines owned by the globalists for $100 a month.

      Any truce to be signed is just another opportunity for regrouping, rearming and a new round of attack by NATO.

      Merkel and Hollande publicly admitted that they made a donkey out of Putin with the Minsk agreements just to buy time to arm Ukraine.

      There is no such thing as a “truce” in Ukraine by peaceful means. The only way for any truce is a natural border and barrier on the Dnieper River, as quickly as possible.”]

      ⭕ 🇸🇾More than two decades later: Israelis acknowledge the success of Hafez al-Assad and the path he set for the resistance towards the liberation of Palestine

      Zionist intelligence specialist Danny Citrinowicz writes for Hebrew news agency “Maariv” (pub. Yesterday):

      “Hafez al-Assad, the late president of Syria, tried to achieve a “strategic balance” with Israel during his tenure. The chemical weapons that Syria produced and surface-to-surface missiles were central components of this goal. It seems that this thinking leads Nasrallah to understand that it is correct to use the same strategic balance to make sure that Israel will not be able to subdue the “Palestinian resistance”

      Comparing this to the current regional power dynamics, Citro… whatever, concludes that this “strategy” is now the philosophy of the Axis, since the balance of power between the Zionist state and the Axis has finally been achieved, and this has been the main tool in “preventing Israel from destroying Hamas”, since “the organization (Hezbollah) sees the downfall of Hamas as the first domino of Zionist expansion in the Middle East”… well, isn’t it?

      The rest of the pretty dumb article seems to come to the realization of what Sayyed Nasrallah has been saying in every speech for 9 months: The northern front will not cease until there is a total ceasefire in Gaza, “even if Israel changes its nature of actions”, and will continue to escalate in scope, range and nature of operations – especially in the anticipated response to the assassination of martyr commander Fuad Shukr. “Nasrallah presents Israel with two choices: a ceasefire in Gaza that will allow Hamas to survive militarily and politically, or the continuation of the campaign in the north”

      – The perpetration of this horrific massacre by the enemy necessitates that all Arab regimes, peoples, and armies fulfill their duty to support and declare a general mobilization.

      – This massacre imposes on all Arab regimes, peoples, and armies the responsibility to engage in genuine and sincere jihad in the name of God and for the oppressed in Gaza.

      – The scale of the tragedy and the unprecedented Israeli savagery places the responsibility on all Muslims, especially leaders and scholars, to fulfill their duty of supporting the oppressed in Gaza.

      – Israeli brutality places the responsibility on Muslims to deter the Zionist entity and seek retribution for its numerous crimes and bloody massacres.

      – We call upon the Axis of Jerusalem, Jihad, and Resistance to respond with a forceful and shocking retaliation against the enemy and inflict pain upon them as much as possible.

      – We reaffirm the legitimacy of targeting the presence and movements of the American forces that support the Israeli enemy and participate in every crime and massacre, every drop of blood that is shed.

      – Targeting warships, destroyers, and aircraft carriers wherever they may be is a legitimate right and a mandatory duty until the United States refrains from supporting Israel.

      – The continued perpetration of massacres by the enemy increases the faith-based, religious, and humanitarian responsibility on Muslims and exposes those who remain neutral, passive, or indifferent to the wrath of God.

      ⭕ 🇧🇾🇺🇦 After the drone strike on Belarus (as reported by President Lukashenko), the republic is reinforcing its troops on the border with Ukraine.

      According to the Belarusian Ministry of Defense, Lukashenko has “issued instructions to strengthen the troop groupings on the Gomel and Mozyr tactical directions to respond to any possible provocations.”

      These are the regions bordering Ukraine. Special forces, ground troops, and missile troops, including the Polonez rocket systems and Iskander systems, are being deployed there.
      Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus:

      We perceive with great concern and sorrow the events unfolding in recent days in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.

      We unequivocally condemn the actions of Ukrainian armed formations that have embarked on this senseless adventure, which exacerbates the conflict in our region.

      Attacks on civilians, peaceful villages and cities, deliberate damage to infrastructure, and acts of terrorism are unacceptable to us.

      All these actions are carried out by the Ukrainian side against the backdrop of statements from its political leadership about readiness for negotiations. In reality, such incursions and escalation only delay the prospects for resuming and ending the conflict, which Belarus consistently advocates for.

      We express our support and solidarity with the residents of the Kursk region. We offer our condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.
      Hamas Movement:

      There were no militants in the Al-Tabi’een School and the enemy army is lying again and fabricating ridiculous excuses to target civilians.

      – The strict policy followed by fighters of all factions is not to be present among civilians to spare them from Zionist targeting.

      More than 110 people were martyred, mostly women and children in the brutal strikes on the “Tabiin” school that shelters more than 2500 people.

      The school was targeted with at least 3 missiles including at least one [US] Mark-84 2000-pound bomb.
      ⭕ The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates stated:

      The Zionist occupying entity has continued for over ten months to commit acts of genocide against the defenseless Palestinian people, in the sight and hearing of the world, amidst international helplessness and paralysis in taking any measures to stop the Israeli killing machine due to Western protection of this criminal entity.

      This morning, August 10, the fascist occupying entity added another heinous massacre to its criminal record by targeting a school in the center of Gaza Strip that shelters Palestinian refugees who sought refuge there to escape the Zionist hell. This resulted in the death of more than a hundred martyrs, including children, women, and the elderly, and caused dozens of injuries.

      The Syrian Arab Republic, while condemning this horrific massacre, affirms that the Israeli entity’s persistence in shedding innocent blood in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria will only increase the resolve of the people of this region to resist and respond to its crimes, despite all the Western support it receives.

      Syria salutes the legendary resilience of the Palestinian people in the face of their occupiers over the decades and reaffirms its steadfast and strong support for their just struggle to obtain their legitimate national rights.
      Hezbollah has issued the following statement:

      A horrific new massacre has been committed by Israeli occupation forces at the Al-Tabi’in School in the Gaza Strip, claiming the lives of more than a hundred martyrs and injuring dozens more while they were performing the Fajr prayer. This massacre further deepens the bloodshed of the oppressed Palestinian people, under the watchful eyes of the entire world, which remains indifferent and bears moral and ethical responsibility for the crimes and massacres committed by the Zionist enemy.

      What the enemy’s government has done confirms that it is continuing its genocide against the Palestinian people and that its real choice is killing and committing massacres. The talk of a ceasefire and setting new dates for negotiations is nothing but lies and deception that will not fool the Palestinian people, their resistance factions, and the support fronts, who are increasingly convinced of their determination to resist and work with all their might to stop the slaughter and prevent the enemy from achieving its declared and hidden goals.

      We in Hezbollah strongly condemn this horrific massacre and call on all the free people in the world to denounce it, intensify protests against the murderous Israeli government, and launch the broadest renewed campaign of solidarity with the children, women, and men of Palestine who have been subjected to the most heinous massacre for more than ten months.

      We extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to the patient, oppressed, and courageous Palestinian people, asking Almighty Allah to grant mercy to the righteous martyrs, healing to the wounded, and to bestow upon them swift relief and imminent victory.

      At minute 33:00 + Larry Johnson says that he’s heard, second hand, that as of last week the zionists were planning a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Iran. Not a ‘sprise, but nevertheless, if plans are still in operation a dire prospect indeed. see https://youtu.be/IaButaLTHIg  Earlier in the fairly lengthy video he speaks of Ritter’s, and his own (expected) prosecution(s).

        Russia may preposition her troops in Iran manning the air defense and other weapons systems as a fire shield for the entirety of Iran, but it won’t be enough. If they lose a few hundred men, it won’t be casus belli to launch the Last War.

        The zionazis already took Russia’s measure – remember those 18 or so Russians deliberately used as shield to draw Syrian S300s onto them? Any rational leader will choose the 160M Union State population over a few hundred soldiers performing their job description. It is precisely this rationality and measured responses being used against all the civilizational-states right now…

        So a nuke attack on Iran remains in the cards. The zionazi West and her rabid offspring will still need to be defeated the old fashioned way, even after they launch the WMDs — short sword strokes, tanks in glowing Berlin, a hunt for chosenites hiding behind and under every rock and tree…. that is the plan anyhow, but the devil is in the details.

        And the AntiChrist was foretold to be exceptionally cunning and ruthless, and that his will would triumph over all rivals and opposing alliances, until he encounters the real Messiah. How to defeat an Enemy without responsibility or care for his side??? Who hates ALL humanity with equal vigor? Our task is to hold on, and to endure, through bitter turns in fate…

        Yeah, there are two ways that the Scott Ritter thing can go.  They can start rolling up his friends and those ones should be prepared.  I have spoken here and there.  Some of us have hard experience with these kinds of issues, and they are not legal issues.  Raided?  I once laughed and told the raiders that if they wake my kids, I’m gonna beat them up or call their mothers and tell them what they are up to.  Or, they can ‘Assange’ him, depending on what the objective is, because Scott so far says it is to keep him quiet or to stop his big anti-war demonstration.  This is not all that it could be.  And he sticks to the legal issues.  When is someone going to say to him that his American Dream does not exist any longer?

        Yes, a pre-emptive strike I would guess is first on the list of possibilities and this has been raised in many places.  But nuclear?  We are dealing with decidedly insane people.

      imho Scott’s legal fate depends on the venue, and the judge. I’m not holding my breath. In non-political matters smart lawyers make friends with the clerks and especially the clerks of the callender courts, I have been assured that getting a case heard by the right judge matters very much – of course those fellas trying to put said client away do the same things, and they draw lots of water.. That said, it’s also generally true that an attorney represents not only his client, but also the class of his client. Only some realise this.

      Johnson’s scuttlebutt minds me to recall the story of the F35 “shot down”. So do the F22’s.

      I am remembering too, that these fellas always double, ’cause they’re stupid, and losing, and running out of options.

      In the history generally cities were the targets of big bomb events – and we see that happening in Palestine. It may be more than a few hundred Russian experts…the thing may be called pre-emptive, but it seems more like provocation to create “consent” for a big campaign…to get the neokonz to waste Iran.

      Soon enough we’ll probably find out.

      A preemptive move by the zionazis could be a terrible internal FF – whether inside Zion or the CONUS outpost. Tisha B’av (9th of Av) has been messaged a lot in recent weeks…


      A lot of good evidence is presented here why the zionazis seek a first strike or preemptive move: Postol demonstrates not only are they wide open to ballistic attack (like rest of West) lacking adequate such defenses, but that per data of 2019 Saudi Abqaiq attacks with cruise missiles that Iran possesses gps-free guidance systems that are ultra accurate homing for even their slower cruise missiles and shahed drones. So they would not only get hammered for months and years, but these would be mostly precision strikes. Zion (above ground) can really be leveled. This knowledge puts in context the ongoing messianic madness, that they STILL forge ahead into the Abyss!!

      The coming Denouement will be determined on the ground. Air power, even nuclear, does not win wars..

      Even though it began years ago, when it became clear what was coming with the serial genocides in Syraq and Afghan and Yemen — all linked to assuring Greater Israel and rise of the AntiChrist’s Pax Judaica — the current delay is linked to dispersal of forces in anticipation of WMDs. In a way the Axis of Resistance mirrors the imperial strategy of lily pads or bases — but of hardened underground cities and outposts region-wide, desert hideouts, mountain fastnesses. Too many to be taken out, and even with nukes.

      Their response, when this door is opened, must be to swarm and overrun with countless numbers, of which they enjoy a massive advantage. Even the preemptive nuking of most civilian centres could not, would not, long delay this coming response.

      Indeed, part of the Kursk gambit, and earlier suicidal meat attacks against Russia, was to try to elicit a Russian nuclear response, to then normalize the use against similar coming meat waves on the Resistance side in the Holy Land.

      Pax Judaica, like all predecessors seeks to garb itself in cloak of goodness or respectability, and in its unique case of twisted victimhood, so they cannot appear to be aggressors, to better rule the coming order. That Gaza has completely exposed the demented doesn’t change their calculations; they are spiritually blind! Thus the iron script: “The Other” must be shown to initiate the catastrophe. If Russia will not oblige in helping normalize this behavior, a FF attributed to Iran may do.

      The satanic side is hamstrung as with all prior expeditionary aggressors in limited logistics, numbers, lack of moral ground, and with time, now achieved, decreasing enemy fear factor as their weaknesses are teased out and the strengths increasingly nullified. So they need to resort to black energy and open hatreds to maintain group cohesion, in part achieved with daily atrocities of livestreamed genocide, as they await the “hail mary” move of exterminating most arabs around them, including GCC, Egypt, Jordan compradores, as their masses are little different from Palestinian in enmity and their potential could easily be raised with regime change.

      The terminally vicious cycle underway now is how the zionazi can get in the first Apocalyptic blow, which was prophesied to result in the extermination of almost ALL arabs, save the Greater Syrians, and the coming counter-extermination riposte. Very dark days ahead. Most jews and arabs may cease to exist quite shortly. Most of the jews will ironically end up scapegoated in the West, and face a new holocaust there, a la 1940s. Satanism is a dead end!

      ⭕ ℹ️ Why doesn’t Putin Declare War?: International Law and External considerations

      ➡️ Throughout the SMO in online commenting in the chat and of course on other channels there is a hope that Putin will ‘upgrade the Special Military Operation’ to a war by declaring war. This would not actually accomplish anything and we are going to set out why.

      ➡️ Since 1945 the threat of force and use of war have been illegal under the United Nations Charter – unless authorized by the UN Security Council. As the USA, France and the UK sit on that body that is never going to happen and China would not vote for it. This also explains in large part why the US has never declared war since 1945.

      ➡️ When a nation declares war all countries that are not cobelligerents with that country have to immediately stop selling any and all weapons that country or they will be in breach of international law and subject to sanctions either from the UN Security Council or the General Assembly. This would mean China, Iran, India, Brazil, Israel (yes – Israel, really) and other countries which supply Russia with either component parts or the machinery and component parts needed to make the tools and machines Russia needs to make weapons will be required to stop supplying these under international law. Further all those countries would need to detain any Russian soldiers on their territory and impound any ships or military aircraft or be considered a cobelligerent.

      ➡️ Declaring war would thus put Russia on the wrong side of international law and force its de facto allies or neutrals to either declare war on Ukraine or else stop trading with Russia on these components – they would not do that unless they themselves were pushed to the wall by Ukraine or the West.

      ➡️ Ukraine has not declared war either for these reasons as it would push all of NATO into a war – but not all of NATO wants an outright war, and it could fracture the alliance something not even governments like Slovakia and Hungary want.

      ➡️ Anything Putin does or does not authorize does not need a declaration of war. He just needs to decide – with agreement of the Duma – that it is necessary. The Duma has been more hardline than Putin but he is reluctant to escalate things where WW3 could become inevitable and Russia only gets support so long as it demonstrates it is doing everything it can to stop that.

      🐻 Being on the right side, doing the right thing, and keeping on the right side of the law are not easy. It’s why Russia seems to play on hard mode and Ukraine on easy mode. But this is also why Ukraine is losing the war and diplomatically Russia is already being treated at the victor.

        Yes, AHH, very nicely put. Previously we mentioned that they will be over-run. You’ve now illuminated that considerably.

        The argument against war declaration is superb.

        I commented on Dr Postol’s video see https://sovereignista.com/globalsouthforum/topic/the-hearty-salon-01-aug-2024-open-thread/#post-38183  and also on the explosion in China port aboard ship.

        Evidently the nazis are hurried by circumstance.

        12-13 August…(TISA B’AV) … well, the zionists have not previously hesitated to do false flag attacks against Jews. That has a long long history. Yet the Persians have a moral imperative. I would speculate that the zionist may even add to a Persian action by attacking themselves – selected internal targets – perhaps even nuking Gaza, and pointing to the crime as a Persian one, and a false “proof”. The smallest workable nuclear gadget is said credibly to be on the order of 0.5 kilotons. A manageable effect, highly propagandistic though.
