| Russia Launches Surprise "Test" of 3 Nuclear Capable Missiles |
| 2016-10-13 |
| One from Land, two from Submarines One day after its Ambassador to the US told the world the US and Russia had "frozen all communications" between the two nations, Russia test-launched THREE nuclear-capable missiles. But in a surprise move, rather than fire from its Plesetsk Cosmodome as announced and expected, Russia instead first launched a Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) from its Kalmar class (Delta-III) K-433 Georgiy Pobedonosets submarine located in the Barents Sea. After that, came the launch of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile from the land-based Plesetsk Codmodome. Russian forces fired the third nuclear-capable rocket from a Pacific Fleet submarine in the Sea of Okhotsk north of Japan, state-run RIA Novosti reported. Each of these missiles are capable of carrying up to TEN warheads which can be tasked to strike ten different targets. Thus, had this been an actual strike, ten cities in Europe would be gone and twenty cities throughout the entire United States would also be gone . . . at 3:00 in the morning while most of us in the United States were sound asleep. This is a not-so-subtle warning that Russia is not playing games with NATO or the West with regards to Ukraine and Syria. If the US and NATO continue to encircle Russia with NATO missiles (presently in Poland, Romania and now, Moldova), and continue to attack Syria with proxy armies composed of Al-Qaida and ISIS terrorists, both NATO and the US face actual war on our own territories, delivered with lightning speed, that would smash life as we know it. If one was to utilize a different analogy, let's say a Rattlesnake, today's launched would be like the snake shaking its Rattle over pending danger to itself, warning its adversary it is about to be bitten. The US and NATO are completely in the wrong with regard to events that have taken place over the past few years in Ukraine and in Syria and if we in the west don't wide-up and wise-up fast, putting a halt to our aggression, then "the end" is rapidly approaching for those poorly thought out policy decisions. |
