We are all a hairsbreadth from Hell

For those of you who have been keeping up with the news around the Banderastan War, you will be aware that the FUSA has now officially authorised 404 to use American weapons to strike targets deep within Russia. This comes at around the same time as reports of some sort of attack on a strategic Russian radar installation at Armavir, located outside of Voronezh.

Now, we have to be a little careful about that specific report of the attack on the radar facility. The radar installation itself is strategic in nature – the gigantic building housing the equipment is designed to detect incoming ballistic and cruise missiles fired at the territory of the Russian Federation, from distances of up to 6,000Km, using over-the-horizon scanning. The man who reported on the attack, from a week ago, is Sen. Dmitry Rogozin, the former head of Roscosmos, and a rather colourful character in his own right, who is known more for making somewhat wild-eyed pronouncements about aliens, and quite a lot less for achieving anything particularly notable while he was head of Russia’s space agency.

That being said, the attack, IF REAL – and I have yet to see actual and true confirmation from official Russian news sources that such an attack did take place, and was instigated by the Ukrainians using American weapons – is an extraordinarily serious and severe escalation.

The radar installation at Armavir does not actually point in the direction of Ukraine. Nor does the radar that the Ukies subsequently attempted to attack, in Orenburg region, near Orsk.

Both of them actually point toward Iran and the Central Asian Republics:

This is on top of the fact that both installations are deep within pre-SMO Russian territory – many hundreds of kilometres away from the front lines. Moreover, both radar installations are part of Russia’s nuclear triad, designed to deter enemies (which is to say, Amerikhastan) from lobbing nukes in the direction of the Motherland.

These facts, combined with the very sketchy nature of the attacks, have led to speculation that the attacks were designed to blind Russian early warning capabilities, preventing them from warning Iran of incoming Israeli and American strikes on their own facilities.

I find this a bit dubious, not least because the Iranians themselves are very far from stupid – their idiotic Insha’allah mindset notwithstanding, they have some very clever people, who have built exceptionally intelligently designed early warning and radar systems in Iran itself. But the fact that an American proxy would dare to attack Russia on its own territory, and at strategic facilities too, has terrifying implications.

That is not a hyperbolic statement. It is impossible to overstate the seriousness of this attack. The Russian nuclear doctrine is EXTREMELY clear in this regard. This is what Russian Presidential Order 355, signed on June 2, 2020 – almost exactly 4 years ago – establishes as the criteria for the use of nuclear weapons:

18. Решение о применении ядерного оружия принимается Президентом Российской Федерации.

19. Условиями, определяющими возможность применения Российской Федерацией ядерного оружия, являются:

а) поступление достоверной информации о старте баллистических ракет, атакующих территории Российской Федерации и (или) ее союзников;

б) применение противником ядерного оружия или других видов оружия массового поражения по территориям Российской Федерации и (или) ее союзников;

в) воздействие противника на критически важные государственные или военные объекты Российской Федерации, вывод из строя которых приведет к срыву ответных действий ядерных сил;

г) агрессия против Российской Федерации с применением обычного оружия, когда под угрозу поставлено само существование государства.

20. Президент Российской Федерации может при необходимости проинформировать военно-политическое руководство других государств и (или) международные организации о готовности Российской Федерации применить ядерное оружие или о принятом решении о применении ядерного оружия, а также о факте его применения.

Translation:

18. The decision to use nuclear weapons is made by the President of the Russian Federation.

19. The conditions determining the possibility of the Russian Federation using nuclear weapons are:

a) receipt of reliable information about the launch of ballistic missiles attacking the territories of the Russian Federation and (or) its allies;

b) the enemy’s use of nuclear weapons or other types of weapons of mass destruction on the territories of the Russian Federation and (or) its allies;

c) the enemy’s impact on critical state or military facilities of the Russian Federation, the failure of which will lead to the disruption of the response actions of nuclear forces;

d) aggression against the Russian Federation using conventional weapons, when the very existence of the state is threatened.

20. The President of the Russian Federation may, if necessary, inform the military-political leadership of other states and (or) international organizations about the readiness of the Russian Federation to use nuclear weapons or about the decision made to use nuclear weapons, as well as about the fact of their use.

Look carefully at clause 19c. The Ukrainians, an American-sponsored proxy and state actor, have just triggered that clause.

This means the use of Russian nuclear weapons, in response, is now, theoretically, at least, open to discussion in the Kremlin.

If that does not terrify you, then you simply do not understand what this means.

Further provocations like this mean the Russians will have every right, under their own established doctrine, to retaliate using tactical and even strategic nuclear weapons. And that will set off a global thermonuclear war.

There is no such thing as a “limited” nuclear war. The very concept is idiotic. It cannot be done. The use of a tactical nuclear weapon on the battlefield, necessitates and demands a bigger response, which means rapid escalation to the strategic nuclear threshold, and therefore the deployment of ICBMs in huge quantities.

The moment those start flying… EVERYONE who has them, will use them. That includes China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. There is no stopping such a war, because the moment those countries see American or NATO nuclear weapons flying in their general direction, they will have to assume they are under attack, and they will respond in kind.

This means everyone and everything around you, that you love and cherish, will BURN.

And that is precisely what MIGHT happen, unless the Fake Administration somehow figures out a sense of self-preservation and backs the hell off.

Past history is not encouraging in this regard. Two years ago, Brandon refused to provide the Ukies with weapons capable of reaching and striking pre-SMO Russian territory. Look what happened just this week:

This is the signature trait of a weak man with no capacity for self-control. He lets the ideologues and lunatics around him take charge – and that is precisely what the neoclowns are, insane ideologues of the worst kind. They are the ones who believe war with Russia can be won, and will be contained.

There are insufficient words in the English language, or any other, for that matter, to describe their brazen stupidity.

They live in a fantasy realm of their own creation, which is why we are now at this point. If you do not believe me, read this passage from a recent article in The New York F***ing Slimes discussing the removal of safeguards imposed by the FUSA on Ukrainian use of American weapons on targets inside Russia:

“Putin is rattling the nuclear saber to keep Biden from letting U.S. weapons be used to counterattack,” Joseph S. Nye, a former American military official and leader of the National Intelligence Council, said on Tuesday. Mr. Nye, an emeritus professor at Harvard, noted that “what you have happening is a nuclear bargaining game, and a credibility game.”

“Putin has higher stakes in this one, and he will push hard to make Biden swerve first,” he added.

That has been true since the first days of the war, when Mr. Putin ordered nuclear forces to be placed on alert, in an effort to keep NATO from helping Ukraine after the invasion. But after repeated threats from Mr. Putin that he might make use of nuclear weapons, Mr. Biden’s aides seem less and less impressed by the Russian president’s declarations.

Seth G. Jones, a former U.S. military official who leads the international security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said that after a recent trip to Kyiv he concluded that “worries about Ukraine using U.S. weapons to strike war-related targets on Russian territory are misplaced.”

“Ukraine has a legitimate military need to weaken Russia’s ability to wage war,” he said, including striking its oil production facilities and power plants. “The United States did the same thing in Germany and Japan during World War II.”

Mr. Jones added that fears about Russian escalation were “overblown.”

“There has not been blowback against other NATO countries, such as the U.K., whose weapons Ukraine is using to strike targets in Russia,” he said. “And Putin’s threats of escalations since the war began have been hollow.”

The Greeks of The Duran explain exactly why this line of thinking is so stupid, and so dangerous:

Alexander Mercouris notes, correctly, that American foreign policy planners keep imagining red lines for the Russians, which America always and inevitably crosses. When the Russians do not react, the foreign policy asshats assume this means Russia is bluffing.

The problem is, their entire premise is fundamentally flawed.

If you imagine your enemy has drawn a line in the sand that no one else has made, and no one else can see except you, and then you step over it, you have won a victory ONLY in your own mind. If you then keep antagonising your opponent, until you finally cross a line he explicitly did draw, and which absolutely is visible, then you have no one to blame but yourself when you inevitably get stop-punched and lose all your teeth.

This is precisely the situation with Russia now. The Russian leadership HAS drawn up a series of red lines. And, the blithering idiocy of Seth G. Jones aside, the hard FACT is that Russia HAS reacted, extremely sternly and with brutal force, against attempts to step over its red lines.

President Putin and his inner circle are living proof of this fact.

During the late 1990s and early 2000s, it was first Prime Minister and then President Putin who vowed to exterminate the Chechen wahhabi nutbags, backed by Western money and influence – and he did precisely that. As a direct consequence, Russia razed the Chechen capital city of Grozny – the scale of the devastation involved was on a level not seen since WWII:

In 2008, when NATO backed the Georgian military in a proxy war against the ethnic Russian enclaves of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, then-President Dmitry Medvedev ordered the Russian military to respond – and they did, smashing the Georgian army in 3 days and wiping out any further capacity to resist in another 2.

In 2014, in response to the CIA-backed overthrow of the legitimately elected President of Ukraine, and fearing the loss of Russia’s only real warm-water naval base in Crimea, President Putin ordered Russian troops to annex Crimea itself.

And in 2022, after repeated warnings against Ukraine joining NATO, Russia launched its ongoing SMO to destroy Ukraine’s military and prevent any possible NATO accession.

The pattern is extremely clear. Russia DOES in fact have red lines. Every single attempt by the West to cross them, has led to catastrophe and terrible conflict.

Moreover, the Russians CLEARLY COMMUNICATE these red lines. One of them is in its own established nuclear doctrine. An attack on strategic radar facilities IS a red line.

What, then, is stopping Russia from launching massive retaliatory strikes against Western targets?

Only the supreme – I would say inhuman – self-control and wisdom of President Putin prevents the degeneration of the conflict in Ukraine, into a wider global apocalypse.

The Putin is perfectly well aware that a nuclear exchange will not be limited. He knows that accelerating up to the nuclear level will result in the annihilation of the entire world. He does not want this. And so he is giving warning after warning to the West, telling the idiots in charge to back the hell off – like he did in Tashkent just the other day:

The lesson is obvious, to anyone paying attention:

Do not bluff the Russians. Do not attempt to needle them. They are a patient and long-suffering people – as I know from extensive firsthand experience with them. But, at a certain point, they will react to provocations, and then things get very real, very fast.

President Putin is not bluffing when he says that further escalations by the West, will meet with ferocious responses from the Russian military – up to and including direct attacks on facilities within NATO countries. I wager quite a few members of his own government actually WANT a war with NATO, at this point, because they are so fed up with the constant provocations.

People reading this need to understand that the ONLY thing preventing a global thermonuclear war right now, IS THE PUTIN. Literally nothing else. And that should terrify every single one of us.
