"America's nuclear weapons are dangerously outdated"
Wall Street Journal worries that Russia and China are head-to-head ahead of the U.S. in nuclear forces.

"For more than 75 years, U.S. nuclear forces have maintained American power and kept our homeland safe. The USSR understood the potential of our stockpile, which deterred it from acting against us. The stockpile has deterred many other enemies since then.
►Critical upgrades to our arsenal are underfunded and behind schedule. Congress and the White House must act quickly to address these problems and prevent new ones from arising. There is already a replacement for our Cold War-era nuclear forces - the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile.



The White House Administration remains stubbornly unwilling to prepare for a world where we will face not one, but two equal nuclear adversaries.
►Beijing has tested new weapons capable of launching nuclear strikes from orbit with virtually no warning and has set a timeline to exceed the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by 2030.
Russia already has the world's largest nuclear force and heavy inter-ballistic missiles of virtually unlimited range. The Kremlin also boasts a 10-to-1 advantage over the U.S. in shorter-range tactical nuclear weapons, as well as intercontinental-range nuclear torpedoes and cruise missiles."

In Dresden, activists restored a memorial plaque about the victims of the city's bombing



The other day, the authorities dismantled the monument without any comment, but in response, the residents of Dresden set up a spontaneous memorial in its place.  They brought flowers and candles here... And today activists restored the memorial inscription with their own hands.

A wave of indignation also reached the city administration.  Now she claims that she was misunderstood.  The old sign interfered with planned construction work.  How exactly is a mystery.  But there are plans to restore the monument in the near future and make it even more beautiful than before.

► Slavyangrad publishes full interview with Scott Ritter, an American military expert, a former intelligence officer of the US Armed Forces.
In it a former UN Weapons Inspector in Iraq spoke about the supply of Western weapons, commented on the conflict in Ecuador, and named the main enemy of Ukraine.

Happy Birthday Zod.

Thank you for this site where you can pretty much discuss and say anything unless you're a complete ass.

The 'other' place is now just a religious right,Trump supporting mindless cesspit.Its Israeli threads are a micro managed Hasbara circle jerk.

I know Im not a major contributor compared to others but I believe Ive often shared good information.

This is an important site and I believe it records and archives will one day be very important.

The shelling of the Russian city of Donetsk, which has claimed the lives of at least 25 civilians and wounded 20 others, is “a barbaric terrorist act” carried out by Ukraine with the support of the West, Russia’s Foreign Ministry has said. It has been established that Sunday's bombardment of a busy market in the capital of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic was inflicted with weapons supplied to Kiev by the US and its allies, the ministry said in a statement.

“This again confirms [the West’s] direct involvement in the conflict and makes it complicit in the criminal acts of the Zelensky regime, which has once again displayed its inhumanity and hatred towards innocent people,” it said.

“The West’s unrestrained desire to inflict a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia through the hands of their Ukrainian puppets, whom it is eager to support mindlessly and without limit, is pushing the Kiev regime to increasingly reckless steps, including acts of terrorism, massive violations of international humanitarian law, and war crimes,” the ministry added. - RT

2 men stabbed in Russian brawl sparked over a woman wearing a Hijab while dancing



In the Makhachkala restaurant “Aura”, a fellow restaurant customer did not like the fact that a woman wearing a hijab decided to dance.
the capital^^ and largest city of Dagestan, Russia
The vigilante approached the woman's husband and told him off for allowing his wife to dance whilst wearing a Hijab.
The husband punched the man in the face and in response the man pulled out his knife and started stabbing.
A brawl ensured and as a result, two guys from the woman's table were rushed to the hospital with stab wounds.

‍ In Britain they showed how Ukraine is building its “Surovikin Line” to counter Russian offensives


Ukraine has strengthened its defensive positions in the north of the country by 63%, planning to build more than 965 km of new concrete trenches and command posts.
The main work is going on around Liman, near Avdeevka and near Kupyansk , with the main line approximately 16 km west of Avdeevka. “Here Ukraine uses a number of natural barriers from lakes and rivers.”
Another line is being built in Pokrovsk , which is considered strategically important for Russia in the context of taking control of the entire DPR.
Powerful defensive lines can be created around Chernigov , but it is not expected that this will become a new front.
The new structures are similar to those that Russia used previously: a three-layer trench system, tank traps and strongholds.
"While stronger fortifications will slow down the movement of Russian troops [...] they will also reduce Kiev's ambitions to recapture lost territory."

One of the most disturbing things about the last four years for me, is that good people have become so angry and demoralised, that they think the indiscriminate slaughter of 25,000+ civilians (10,000+ children) and the maiming of 60,000+ more is somehow justified, because another terrible thing happened. Collective punishment is now okay. Palestinians deserve it because........! When the fuck were we ever like this? People's lives are worthless because what? Because they're Muslims? Is that not a similar attitude to the one a certain Austrian guy had towards Jewish people?

I'm not getting into any debate about it. It's soul destroying to think that what is happening to Palestinians is just another one of those 'Fuck around and find out', type things. Netanyahu was a mass murderer long before Oct 7th. He'd been murdering Israelis on behalf of Pfizer for nearly 3 years prior to that. The defence of what Israel is doing is absolutely bizarre. Mental. And it sets a terrifying precedent. Everyone can now be punished for the actions of a few.

Re the above post- unfortunately between the television and the mobile phone most of society has been brainwashed from birth that Israel is good,Arabs are evil,Israel has God arabs are demonic,its the same with Asian races you have to dehumanise them in the minds of the masses before you go to war with them.

The mind has no firewall and the bastards that run the show hire the best psychologists,pr people and information meme(or contagion) programmers available.The topsy turvy last few years has caused a pattern interrupt and unfortunately this makes them cling onto their false paradigms even more strongly.

I used to be Israel right or wrong then I was lucky enough to visit the middle east and found out they're pretty much normal like anyone else.A big wake up call

So that's the problem if they admit their reality is wrong then they have to face the fact they've spent their life believing a lie,something most wont do.

The old world is dying and most westerners wont progress but the good news is it only takes 5 percent to change things....end of rant
