⭕ Here’s why Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile is ready for mass production

Thursday’s combat deployment testing of the Oreshnik missile system against a Ukrainian military-industrial target in Dnepropetrovsk speaks to the fact that the new Russian missile system is ready for deployment and mass production, and the reason comes down to the way Russia’s missile weaponry has been designed for many decades, says veteran Russian military observer Dmitry Kornev.

The capabilities of Russia’s military-industrial complex when it comes to producing Oreshnik-style weaponry is “significantly higher than those of the West,” Kornev told Sputnik, pointing to the Russian (and before that Soviet) missile design philosophy going back to the Cold War-era standoff involving the RSD-10 Pioneer and the Pershing 2 – with the Soviet system designed to ensure strategic deterrence on the continental scale, vs. the US goal of delivering a strike against enemy targets as quickly as possible from a forward foothold.

“Our system likely has a far greater strike potential in the sense that it was created on the basis of already proven ballistic missile technologies – most likely, at the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering, which means that mass production and rapid deployment of large quantities of the missiles is assured,” Kornev said.

“In the case of the West, any similar system will be rather expensive to create,” Kornev emphasized.

President Putin confirmed in a briefing with defense officials Friday that a decision on the Oreshnik’s mass production has been taken, and that the military has amassed a stockpile of the new ballistic hypersonic missiles, and “will continue these tests, including in combat conditions, depending on the situation and the nature of the security threats that are created for Russia.”
⭕ 💬 Italy’s ban on strikes against Russia ‘means nothing,’ as it depends on NATO – Italian journalist

The ban on using Italian-supplied weapons by Kiev to strike Russia is mere noise, since Rome can still provide all the support NATO may request, Italian journalist Giorgio Bianchi told Sputnik.

“In any case, these long-range weapons are supplied by the US and the UK. They are the American ATACMS and the British Storm Shadow. Therefore, the statement of the Italian foreign minister, Antonio Tajani, is nothing. It means nothing. If there is a need in planes or bases to calculate the distance [for strikes on Russia], Italy cannot fail to provide it. Italy is fully integrated in NATO,” he said.

Statements by the Italian authorities that Ukraine cannot use Italian-supplied weapons against Russia are “a farce that continues to play only for the electorate.”

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that Ukrainian forces launched ATACMS missiles at Russia’s Bryansk region during the night of November 19. Five missiles were intercepted by Pantsir and S-400 systems, while one was damaged.

💛In an interview with Al-Jazeera, Colombian president Gustavo Petro stated:

▪️ They accused us of anti-Semitism after severing ties with Israel, and they are wrong, as Palestinians and Arabs are Semites as well

We faced pressure because of our positions on the genocide in Gaza and the lobbies are moving against us, especially the banking lobby

▪️ The goal of the war of extermination waged by Israel in Gaza is to prevent the establishment of a homeland for the Palestinians. What is happening in Palestine and the region is not just a war, but a message of intimidation from the countries of the North to the entire South. Countries that dream of controlling the world increase tensions and wars to preserve their sovereignty and control

Major countries are ignoring international law, human rights and human civilization. We have suffered from brutality and killing as well, so we empathize more with the sense of genocide that the Palestinian people are being subjected to. Our people are affected by the horror of the scenes of genocide they see in Gaza and recall harsh memories

▪️ We respect the decision of the International Criminal Court to issue the arrest warrants, and if Netanyahu and his defense minister visit Colombia, we will arrest them

Washington’s rejection of the decisions of the ICC, which it did not want to join in the first place, means they support the atrocities

▪️ Those who bet on the West will feel alone and betrayed like Ukraine and countries in Western Europe. In the next stage, China can play a different role. Putin will reach an understanding with Trump, because they are both oil and energy businessmen

⭕⚡️🇰🇵🇵🇸 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea wrote a rather, interesting article published on 10th of October.

“A detestable criminal country that needs to be swept away in a day.”

Israel’s genocidal campaign against Palestinians, which began in October last year, has continued year after year, and its means and methods have reached a point beyond human imagination, drawing the ire of the international community.

According to Palestine’s Wafa news agency, Israel’s rogue regime, which has no regard for international law and humanitarian principles, recently shocked the world by devising a “bill” to restrict the activities of the UNRWA, with the aim of massacring innocent Palestinians once again.

It is not enough that Israel has massacred more than 42,000 Palestinians and displaced more than 1.9 million Palestinians, more than 90% of the Palestinians in Gaza, in the past year since the outbreak of the Gaza crisis, but the Israeli criminal justice system’s anti-humanitarian blockade of UNRWA, which is aimed at completely exterminating an entire people, is a heinous act of human rights abuses and a despicable war crime.

The murderers, who are ruthlessly depriving people of their human rights, the most important of which is the right to survival, and plotting to cut off the last link of the refugees, and the unscrupulous human white elephants, who are toasting and laughing at the spectacle of bombing the inhabited areas of Gaza, are grossly violating humanity’s right to survival and development by expanding the scope of mass destruction to neighboring countries.

The international community is outraged that Israel, a dysfunctional country that ignores even the rudimentary notion of human rights and promotes extreme hateful ideas, and a country where criminals who take pleasure in human blood should never have existed on Earth in the first place.

All justice- and peace-oriented nations and progressive movements must unite to firmly defend human justice, conscience, and world peace by decisively stopping Israel’s criminal atrocities and expelling this cancerous cancer of human society from the face of the earth”.

Therefore, North Korea declares Israel as an entity that must be swept away or destroyed, calls the Israeli government a government consisting of murderers, as a matter of fact, they imply satanic notions as they accuse the Israeli government of “taking pleasure in human blood.”

They also, at the end, simply accuse Israel of being a cancer against humanity, and must be removed from the Earth.

They learned to embrace them as friends, and to work together with them towards common goals.

Most importantly, they learned how to live in peace with people whose value systems differ from our own. They learned that you cannot force your values, judgments, and cultural preferences on people who view things differently.

And yet here we are, a quarter of the way through the 21st century, believing that we can and should impose our myopic and capricious “rules-based international order” upon every nation, kindred, tongue, and people in the world.

🔻 WS: Most Americans are hopelessly ignorant and misinformed about military realities.

The US could not win a conventional war against Russia, China, or Iran. If they attempt it, it will turn into the most calamitous military catastrophe in American history.

🤔 Go Big or Go Home

I was just thinking …

If indeed a British Storm Shadow missile achieves a significant strike against a Russian target …

And if the Russians then opt to retaliate in the context of “a state of war” …

Well … if I were in Putin’s shoes, and I concluded a counterstrike was imperative, I would go big. Not too big. But a LOT bigger than was expected.

I’d sink one of the pathetic new UK aircraft carriers with a long-range missile strike. A full salvo of at least half a dozen large warheads. Maybe a full dozen just to be sure.

Make a large point. From air, land, and naval vectors.

Do the job right the first time.

It would be a radically sobering global event.

Many of the elite power centers in Britain would privately praise the deed of putting one of those pathetic “ships” out of its misery.

The Americans would bloviate and bluster about “preserving the rules-based international order”, and then they would, over the course of a few weeks, trace a delicate retreat.

As I’ve said repeatedly, the US military only has one major campaign left in them. A very brief campaign.

The choice is between Russia, China, and Iran.

And, in my view, Russia is the LEAST attractive option.

Sinking an effectively derelict British aircraft carrier would render it out of the question.
🔻 C1: Do you think it will happen as it is or is it only left in last night’s attack by Russia?
🔻 WS: The Russians are big chess players.

I never could get excited for chess. Too slow for my tastes.

The Russians will hit where it hurts as necessary, but they don’t want to unduly hasten the process of attrition so long as the empire is willing to exhaust themselves piecemeal.

📜 To Nuke or Not to Nuke?

That is the question on the minds of many people as they consider the possibilities of open war breaking out between America et al. and Russia et al.

Would conventional war between the United States and the Russian Federation inevitably lead to a nuclear clash?

A great many people are convinced that it would. I understand their reasoning. And I can certainly envision multiple plausible scenarios that might very well lead to such an outcome. I will discuss a few of them further below. But first a few thoughts in preface:

Resorting to nuclear weapons is a “point-of-no-return” decision.

It’s a murder-suicide move.

And I strongly doubt any of the great nuclear powers are suicidal.

I have also long entertained the admittedly romantic notion that both the Americans and the Russians would much prefer to test their mettle mano a mano on the field of conventional battle.

The Americans fancy themselves the greatest empire and the mightiest military power the world has ever seen. American folklore (the word for “history” in American English) has imbued them with the conviction that Americans are a great and noble warrior nation.

Religious and irreligious; ascetic and hedonistic; rich and poor — and all points in between — the vast majority of Americans subscribe to an ontological ethos that presupposes the exceptionalism of America and its unique mission to spread freedom and democracy across the globe.

Russians, on the other hand, see themselves as yet again the target of a messianic western hegemon that despises them as inferior, and covets the almost limitless natural treasures of their vast territory.

Russians also see themselves — and justifiably so — as the decisive victor in great wars against a messianic western hegemon in both the 19th and 20th centuries. From their perspective here in the 21st century, they are facing yet a third iteration of this centuries-old conflict.

In other words, Russia is convinced they are already engaged in war against the American Empire, and it has the same existential quality they associate with the previous attempts to conquer and divide them.

Consequently, they have been furiously preparing since early summer 2022 for the distinct possibility that, sooner or later, the Americans would feel compelled to escalate beyond the machinations of sustaining a proxy force, and would directly intervene militarily in order to “save the day”.

Back in April 2023, I wrote at length on this reality: Russia Is Winning with One Hand Tied Behind Its Back.

Meanwhile the Russians have continued to methodically grind down the empire’s proxy army. They have decisively repulsed and comprehensively destroyed the third and final reconstitution of its NATO-supplied strength.

And contrary to the widespread belief among the misinformed masses of “experts” and casual observers in the west, Russia has not suffered a “strategic defeat” nor has its military capability and its productive capacity been diminished.

From a military and industrial standpoint, Russia is stronger, relative to its adversaries, than at any time since the height of Soviet power, and its progress towards even greater strength is accelerating.

And, perhaps most significantly, Russian sense of purpose and unity has not, since the Great Patriotic War, been embraced with such conviction by such a high percentage of the Russian populace.

They devoutly believe their cause is just.

And although history attests the Russians can often be slow to harness, once they become a team in harmony, they transform into a nimble, heavy-fisted, and highly resourceful military force.

By deliberately bringing to pass this war in Ukraine, the fools calling the shots in the halls of empire have instead brought into being a confident and assertive Russia that has trebled in relative strength over the past two years of high-intensity conflict.

Whereas the US and its European NATO vassals have seen their arsenals severely attrited and the mediocrity of their fragile and inefficacious machines exposed over the past two years, Russian equipment has proven durable and highly effective for the required tasks of 21st century industrial warfare, even as they have rapidly achieved an industrial scale of war production.

And whereas the supposed geniuses of NATO have seen three successive iterations of their material and tactical handiwork get systematically shredded by the Russian way of war, the Russians have adapted, innovated, and produced at scale to a degree the west simply cannot match now, and could not act to match anytime soon.

So that’s where we stand here in early 2024.

The Russians are winning the war in Ukraine, and winning it big. They will, on whatever timetable they choose, dictate the terms of its ultimate resolution.

On the broader geopolitical and diplomatic front, they are winning the war even bigger.

As are the Chinese and the Iranians.

The Russia, China, Iran axis that is rapidly solidifying is, by far, the most potent adversary western hegemony has faced since its inception centuries ago.

And that brings us to my list of plausible scenarios for nuclear war.

The only plausible scenarios I can envision for nuclear war presuppose the first use will be initiated by the #EmpireAtAllCosts cult.

Russia has no need to resort to nuclear weapons. It is securely fixed on a trajectory to total victory — even if the US et al. prove foolish enough to intervene directly in a conventional war against them.

The most unpredictable and therefore worrisome scenario entails tactical nuclear weapons being introduced into the Ukraine war via some rogue actor.

There are several prohibitive logistical and tactical considerations that come to my mind when I consider this possibility, but in the final analysis it occurs to me there is only one reality that matters:

ANY detonation of a nuclear weapon against a Russian target will be automatically regarded, by the Russians, as a nuclear first strike by the US/NATO.

Therefore, providing Ukraine with nuclear weapons would be tantamount to intentionally provoking a full-scale nuclear counterstrike.

Is there some locus of power in the world that is able and willing to do such a thing?

I sure hope not.

As for all the other plausible scenarios for nuclear war — scenarios involving deliberate state actors — I can only repeat what I wrote at the beginning:

Resorting to nuclear weapons is a “point-of-no-return” decision.

It’s a murder-suicide move.

And I strongly doubt any of the great nuclear powers are suicidal.

At least not yet.
⭕ retweet:
Straight from the horse’s mouth, the first 7:40 is Putin’s nationwide address (the rest is filler). Tweets are good, but source materials are better for complex situations.

What I picked up from the full version is that this is a very direct threat, clearly communicated. To paraphrase: If you hit us again in Russia, we will hit a military facility in another nation. We will provide warning, so that civilians can evacuate. There is nothing that you can do to prevent this, the West does not have an anti-missile system that can stop an attack coming in at Mach 10.

Elsewhere, I saw the Russia supposedly warned the US in advance about the missile attack today, to prevent any nuclear misinterpretations.

These are incredibly dangerous times, the time for sane people to de-escalate is right now.
[regarding Putin’s address last night]
⭕ ‼️ This is very serious.

People who believe Russia is bluffing are mistaken.

If the US/NATO attempt to strike Russia again, the Russians explicitly promise to counterstrike directly against US/NATO military bases.

⭕ ‼️ Putin’s Solemn Warning

Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a short address earlier today, in which he reported on the events of the past two days, and issued an explicit warning to the United States and its allies.

Official Transcript: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/75614
⭕ 🔻 Aaron Maté: According to the NYT, unnamed US and European officials have “even suggested that Mr. Biden could return nuclear weapons to Ukraine that were taken from it after the fall of the Soviet Union,” which “would be complicated and have serious implications.”

Yes, implications like nuclear Armageddon.
🔻 WS: This is nonsensical.

The US cannot “return” something to Ukraine that Ukraine NEVER possessed in the first place (the Russians ALWAYS retained control and launch codes). And all nuclear weapons from the former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic were already returned to Russia.
🔻 C2: It would be wrong to assume the USA empire may not already secretly have nuclear weapons in “Ukraine”: it’s known the West’s statements deceive and the NATO proxy army already had HIMARS and ATACMS long before the dates they were said to officially be sent/authorized for use.
🔻 WS: You think the US is suicidal?

I don’t. At least not yet.

🔻 C1: Following the usual film script, they will keep inviting ever more threats, coming from North Korea, until they’ve talked up North Korea to the extent it’s a formidable enemy that needs to be attacked.

A tactic proven to be successful ever since the WMD in Iraq.

#regimechange
🔻 WS: North Korea is currently refining its own MIRV and MaRV technology for its ICBMs. That will throw a stick in the spokes of imperial designs against the DPRK.
🔻 C2: BBC radio on USA NPR has story on “1 million barrels of oil being sent to North Korea from Russia in the last 8 months”
(being a U.N. violation in that North Korea is “capped” @ 500,000 barrels per year).
🔻 WS: Barrels per DAY.
🔻 C2: Thanks, I missed that. /
🔻 WS: If it were possible to do for an American, I would invest in all three of the major “outcasts”: Russia, Iran, North Korea. I think all three countries will be in the ascendant for the next few decades.

⭕ ❗️Russia struck Ukrainian infrastructure with a non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile, Putin says

The Russian forces launched a combined strike on a Ukrainian defense industry facility in response to American and British weapons strikes on Russia, he noted.

👉The use of the Oreshnik missile was a response to US plans to produce and deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles, he added.

Russia has struck a complex that produces, among other things, missile technology, Putin said.
⭕ ❗️In case of escalation, Russia will respond decisively and in kind, Putin says
⭕ ⚡️ Russia is ready to resolve contentious issues through peaceful means but is capable to react at any developments, Vladimir Putin said

Other statements of the President on the use of a new Russian ballistic missile in Ukraine:

• The use of the Oreshnik missile is a response to Washington’s plans to produce and deploy short- and medium-range missiles.
• Russia will offer Ukrainian civilians the opportunity to leave dangerous zones in advance when such missiles are used.
• Russia reserves the right to strike targets in countries that allow the use of their weapons against targets in Russia.
