Russia war

[Barbara]

Chay Bowes, the guy who talked about the Royal Navy as being highly insufficient for anything but a sail on the English Channel, has this telling post

It shows up what a phony Ursula van der Leyen, president of the European Commission, and the EU are.

It's pathetic that European leaders today are plastic, with no relation to reality. Most all are, though Macron DID just recognize Palestine as a country.

"KALININGRAD: RUSSIA'S IMPREGNABLE FORTRESS

Any attack on Kaliningrad will trigger an immediate response, including nuclear deterrence, warned Kremlin aide Nikolai Patrushev.

NATO may have a plan, but this is what awaits anyone daring to challenge Russia’s westernmost enclave



MISSILE DEFENSES

S-300 and S-400 surface-to-air missile systems can make short work of any enemy airborne attack.

Iskander quasi-ballistic missiles cannot be intercepted and would obliterate enemy ground assets; they can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads.

NAVAL COMPONENT

Kaliningrad serves as the main base of Russia’s Baltic Fleet whose full might would be immediately unleashed upon attackers."

AIRCRAFT

Russian combat aircraft, such as Su-27 and Su-30, and attack helicopters like the Ka-52 can engage both ground and airborne targets and are no match to anything NATO has to offer.

GROUND FORCES

Russia’s ground forces, from light airborne assault units to the more heavy mechanized detachments, can be rapidly deployed anywhere in the country and counter any enemy incursion.

NUCLEAR DETERRENT

If a full-blown conflict with NATO does break out, a nuclear exchange cannot be ruled out.

In that case, NATO countries are going to become closely acquainted with Sarmat, Yars and other nuclear-capable missiles in Russia’s arsenal

RUSSIA WILL DEFEND ITS INTERESTS AGAINST NATO

Russia doesn’t seek conflict, but any NATO attempt to test its readiness will trigger an immediate, harsh response, said Patrushev, commenting on Bloomberg’s apocalyptic NATO-Russia conflict scenario, which could start with a staged incident on the Moscow-Kaliningrad rail

See this thread WITH illustrations, both video and pictures there - I just copied the print part

Important to pray that no "staged incident" ever occurs near Kaliningrad nor anywhere else [South Asia, West Asia, Middle East and Central Asia especially] aimed at provoking a military confrontation

A partial explanation by someone calling himself "ignorance, the root and stem of all evil" for WHY the Russian Federation is concerned about protecting its borders.

To an American, this Russian concern sounds overdone to the point of obsession

But it makes sense. If a far-from-friendly army is camped on your border, it is not there to do land surveying exercises : it means business.

You HAVE TO BE READY to DEFEND yourself or it will pounce on you.
Ideally, you must get them to withdraw or push them bac to where they came from.

"NATO INVADED UKRAINE

NATO DID NOT PROMOTE PEACE, NATO PROMOTED WARS

Ukraine Was not in NATO, but NATO Was in Ukraine Since 2014

Not dissolving NATO in 1990 was a big mistake, and it’s time to fix that mistake.

NATO to Russia: We come in peace, just ignore the tanks

The Atlantic alliance inching right up to Russia’s borders? Totally normal.

Moscow’s just being hysterical, they say — no reason to worry about entire armies parking next door with “defensive” missiles and bases.

“Show, don’t tell”? Sure. Here's NATO’s peaceful expansion in maps — from the USSR’s collapse to the 2022 Ukraine flare-up.

But remind us again… who’s the paranoid one? "

The quick clip below shows a map of NATO's expansion in the direction of Russia over the decades since 1950.

Most Westerners are not aware of this push, as it's not spelled out anywhere in the mainstream media.
