Moon of Alabama | Oreshnik is, so far, a non nuclear weapon with a limited (5,000 kilometer) range. But there is nothing in principle that hinders Russia from equipping an ICBM missile with similar non-nuclear capabilities. It would make non-nuclear strikes by Russia on U.S. grounds, or more likely on U.S. foreign bases and aircraft carriers, possible. [...] Russia has closed the airspace over the Kapustin Yar missile range until November 30. Kapustin Yar is the test range from which the Oreshnik had been fired. As there is no defense possible against Oreshnik type weapons Russia could announce a strike on the U.S. controlled Redzikow base in Poland days or hours before it would take place. As the strike would be announced, conventional in type and would cause few if any casualties it seems unlikely that NATO would apply Article 5 to it and to hit back with force. Such would become a moment where the boiling of the frog would start again but this time with the U.S. being the frog inside of the vessel. Russia, by hitting U.S. bases in Europe by conventional means, would increase the temperature day after day. Would the U.S. dare to go nuclear over this or rather retreat from its plans to defeat Russia?

Russia has issued another Notice To Air Missions (NOTAM) closing its air space over Kapustin Yar. This was the area from which Russia launched its new Oreshnik Ballistic Missile at Ukraine last week. | Since that Russian launch, which utterly obliterated a Soviet-era munitions factory inside Ukraine, the Ukrainians have again used American-supplied ATACMS to launch at least THREE MORE attacks into Russia, primarily in the Kursk region. It seems logical to believe Russia is going to launch again as response to Ukraine continuing to use west-supplied missiles to strike interior Russia. One might also theorize that it won't be just one Oreshnik this time. UPDATE: Russian Television is showing graphics to viewers describing how fast the Oreshnik Ballistic Missiles can hit "U.S. Bases in the Middle East" and "U.S. Bases in Alaska, Pearl Harbor, and in Guam" and "U.S. Minuteman III Missile Silos in Montana and North Dakota."

The Russian Defense Ministry vowed there would be a response | Russia said on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces fired US-provided Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) into Russia’s Kursk Oblast twice in recent days and vowed there would be a response. ■ The Russian Defense Ministry said Ukraine fired five ATACMS against Russian S-400 missile defense systems on November 23. The ministry said air defenses intercepted three missiles while two hit their targets, resulting in the damage of a radar station and the injury of several Russian troops. ■ Two days later, on November 25, Ukrainian forces fired eight ATACMS at a Russian airfield in Kursk. The ministry said seven were intercepted while one hit its target, damaging infrastructure and wounding two Russian soldiers.

Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov earlier said that the upcoming face-to-face meeting in Astana will be the sixth personal gathering between Putin and Tokayev in 2024. | November 27 will see talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kazakh counterpart Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in Astana as part of Putin’s two-day state visit to Kazakhstan. The two leaders are expected to discuss further development of the bilateral strategic partnership, especially in light of Kazakhstan's chairmanship in the Collective Security Treaty Organization and Russia chairing the Commonwealth of Independent States and BRICS.

Harold Turner | NATO's Parliamentary Assembly has recommended that member governments provide Ukraine with intermediate-range missiles (IRBM). | Apparently the Parliamentary Assembly is either insane or suicidal. These are ballistic missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,500 kilometers, including Tomahawk Cruise Missiles which are capable of "striking at the strategic depth of the enemy." The Assembly's decision is advisory, but it opens the way. Apparently, NATO is flatly ignoring the entire basis for the Russia-Ukraine war: The Expansion of NATO. [...] Russia's position that NATO expansion must stop and be reversed is based on promises made to then-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev; promises made by then US Secretary of State, James Baker III, who told Gorbachev "NATO will not move one inch east." [...] We are leaving Russia NO CHOICE but to attack us. Because we broke our word and won't stop. THAT is why you and your family are likely to be killed in nuclear war, within weeks or months.

Israel's military operations in Lebanon have intensified, killing at least 31 civilians over the last 24 hours amid international efforts to reach a ceasefire. | Israeli attacks also wounded 62 people across the country on Monday, according to the country’s Health Ministry. Israel’s military struck the areas of Tayr Harfa and Chamaa on Tuesday morning, with video footage showing plumes of smoke rising above Beirut’s southern suburbs. ■ Moreover, the Israeli forces have issued forced displacement orders for several neighborhoods in southern Beirut, which it plans to target soon, ordering nearby residents to flee immediately. In a pair of posts on X, Avichay Adraee, Israel's Arabic-language spokesperson, shared a map highlighting several buildings in the southern Beirut neighborhoods of Borj El Brajneh and Tahouitet al-Ghadir, which he labeled as potential targets. ■ Over the weekend, Israel's airstrikes killed at least 29 civilians in central Beirut and dozens more across various Lebanese cities, raising concerns about the increasing civilian toll in the region. In response to Israel's aerial bombardment, Hezbollah unleashed one of its largest rocket attacks to date, firing approximately 250 missiles into northern Israeli occupied territories on Sunday.

Dmitry Medvedev (Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council) (Дмитрий Медведев) |Transfer of nuclear weapons to Kiev will be equated to an attack on Russia | American politicians and journalists are seriously discussing the consequences of giving Kiev nuclear weapons. It seems that my sad joke about the mad senile Biden, who decided to pass away beautifully, taking with him a significant part of humanity, is turning into a frightening reality. Handing over nuclear weapons to a country at war with a major nuclear power? The very idea is so absurd that it raises suspicion of paranoid psychosis in Joe The Walking Dead and all those who argue about the feasibility of such a step. And yet one has to comment on the nonsense:

1) the very threat of transferring nuclear weapons to the Kiev regime can be seen as preparation for a nuclear conflict with Russia;
2) the actual transfer of such weapons can be equated to an accomplished act of attack on our country in the sense of clause 19 of the Principles of State Policy in the Field of Nuclear Weapons. 19 of the Fundamentals of State Policy on Nuclear Deterrence.

The consequences are obvious.

The US president’s decision to authorize long-range missile strikes on Russia is “f**king insane,” the podcast host has said | American podcast host Joe Rogan has hammered Joe Biden for allowing Ukraine to launch missile attacks deep behind Russia’s borders, accusing the US president and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky of trying to provoke a world war before Donald Trump takes office. ● Biden reportedly gave Ukraine permission last week to use long-range US-provided ATACMS missiles to attack targets in internationally-recognized Russian territory. Kiev carried out its first such strike on Russia’s Bryansk Region on Tuesday, followed by an attack on Kursk Region using British Storm Shadow cruise missiles the following day.

The Russian foreign minister noted that American companies had already bought up most of the fertile land | The United States needs Ukraine's rare-earth metals, including lithium, and intends to take them as payment for military assistance, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a meeting with participants in the academic and educational program of the A. M. Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Support Fund "Dialogue for the Future."

💬 "It is no coincidence that US Senator Lindsey Graham said outright (he is not a diplomat and does not hide his thoughts), that the US needs to ensure that Russia suffer a defeat in Ukraine, because there are many rare-earth metals, including lithium," Lavrov said. "He said so to Vladimir Zelensky when he visited him recently. He said that the US needs these riches. And he added that they would help Ukraine and in return they would take all this from it as payback."

Lavrov noted that American companies had already bought up most of the fertile land.

💬 "They keep talking about the 'Black Sea initiative', about the need to feed Africa. First of all, the West exported more than 50% of grain to the European Union, and not to Africa. American corporations made money on this grain. And they want to do the same to the rest of our neighbor's wealth," Lavrov stressed.

The Gaza Government Media Office has accused "Israel" of systematically targeting the territory's healthcare system, resulting in devastating consequences for medical personnel and facilities. | Over 1,000 doctors and nurses have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since last year, according to local authorities on Sunday. “Over 310 other medical personnel were arrested, tortured, and executed in prisons,” stated the Gaza Government Media Office. The statement further stressed that “the Israeli army also prevented the entry of medical supplies, health delegations, and hundreds of surgeons into Gaza.” The Media Office further accused the Israeli military of intentionally targeting hospitals to weaken Gaza’s healthcare system.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei confirmed that “Israeli” prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose arrest warrant has been issued by the International Criminal Court [ICC], must be given a death sentence. | Imam Khamenei made the remarks during a meeting with members of the Iranian Basij volunteer force on Monday, on the occasion of Basij Week [Basij (volunteer) force]. Referring to “Israel's” genocide in the Gaza Strip and the carnage in Lebanon, the Leader said the bombing of houses is not a victory but “a war crime”. “The enemy has not won its wars on Gaza and Lebanon, and it will never be able to do so,” Imam Khamenei asserted.

Ex-Russian president’s warning comes after a hypersonic missile strike on a Ukrainian military facility | Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has issued a stark warning to European nations that continue to support Kiev. In a Telegram post on Sunday, Medvedev referenced the recent deployment of Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile system against a Ukrainian military facility.

💬 “Europe is wondering what damage the system could cause if the warheads are nuclear, whether it is possible to shoot down these missiles, and how quickly they would reach the capitals of the Old World. The answer: The damage would be unacceptable, it is impossible to intercept them with modern means, and we are talking about a matter of minutes,” Medvedev wrote. ● “Bomb shelters will not help, so the only hope is that kind Russia will warn in advance about the launches. Therefore, it is better to stop supporting the war,” he added.

Earlier this week, Medvedev shared a video showing an Oreshnik missile strike on a Ukrainian defense industrial facility in Dnepropetrovsk (known as Dnipro in Ukraine). The footage, originally published by Ukrainian media, shows several warheads impacting the military site at night. Medvedev accompanied the video with a post on X, saying, “So, that’s what you wanted? Well, you’ve damn well got it!”

The prestigious Cleveland Clinic has issued a chilling warning of an incoming wave of deaths that will kill off huge numbers of people who received Covid mRNA “vaccines.” | However, rather than issuing a red alert to the public about the looming catastrophic death wave, the Ohio-based nonprofit academic medical center quietly dropped the bombshell in a recent update on its website. According to Cleveland Clinic, mass mortality is expected to surge due to a ticking time bomb of myocarditis among the Covid-vaccinated. ■ Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle or myocardium. This inflammation weakens your heart muscle, making it harder for your heart to pump. Myocarditis can cause strokes, blood clots, cardiac arrest, and ultimately sudden death. Doctors warn that myocarditis acts as a silent killer as it can often be symptomless, with many sufferers not being diagnosed until it’s too late. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), myocarditis is a known side effect of Covid mRNA injections.

The US national debt reflects the borrowing by the government to finance its operations and obligations. Concerns about the sustainability of the debt level, its impact on future economic growth, and its potential burden on taxpayers continue to be the subject of significant debate among policymakers and economists. | The US national debt has exceeded the mark of $36 trillion and updated the historical maximum, according to the US Treasury Department. This is the largest national debt in the world in nominal terms, and it has increased by $2 trillion since the beginning of the year. ■ As of November 21 (the last day for which statistics are available), the national debt was just over $36,034,994,586,981. ■ The US national debt is the amount owed by the federal government to creditors. The latter can be individuals, such as American citizens or small foreign investors, as well as states and large endowments. ■ The national debt is divided into two parts: intragovernmental and public. Intragovernmental debt is debt owed to various government agencies, such as pension funds. It makes up about 20% of the total debt, and as of November 21, it was $7.3 trillion. Public debt is owed to private entities, individuals, and foreign countries. It makes up the remaining 80% of the debt, or nearly $28.7 trillion as of November 21.

NATO should understand it is “directly at war” with Russia, Dmitry Medvedev has warned | The conflict between Moscow and Kiev could be swiftly ended with no additional loss of lives if only NATO came to its senses and abandoned its belligerent policy towards Russia, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev told Al Arabiya in an interview published on Friday. ● Allowing Ukraine to use long-range Western weapons for strikes into internationally-recognized Russian territory has made the US-led bloc a direct party to the conflict, said Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council. Kiev has launched several strikes using US-made ATACMS and HIMARS systems, as well as British-made Storm Shadow missiles.

Paris places no “red lines” on its support for Kiev, Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has said | French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has said that Ukraine may use French missiles to attack targets in internationally-recognized Russian territory, without confirming whether such strikes have already taken place. ■ In an interview due to be broadcast by British state broadcaster the BBC on Sunday, Barrot said that Paris does “not set and express red lines” on its support for Kiev, and that long-range strikes on Russian soil may be carried out by Ukraine “in the logics of self-defense.” ■ France has provided Ukraine with an unknown number of SCALP-EG cruise missiles, which Kiev has already been using to attack targets in Crimea and the four former Ukrainian regions that joined the Russian Federation in 2022. The SCALP-EG, known as the Storm Shadow in the UK, is an air-launched British-French cruise missile with a maximum range of 550km (390 miles). ■ Barrot’s comments came a day after the Ukrainian military confirmed that Storm Shadow missiles were used for the first time in an attack on Russia’s Kursk Region, where Ukrainian troops launched a cross-border invasion in August. Russian air defenses shot down two of the British missiles, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Just two days ago, Russian President Putin made clear in a televised address that the use of these weapons against interior Russia makes the countries who supplied the weapons "parties to the conflict." | Video below shows that after an "URGENT" meeting in the wee hours of Saturday morning in Russia, between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia's Federation Council, Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) trucks carrying live "TOPOL-M" nuclear ICBMS are on the move on roads in Russia. The TOPOL-M carries only ONE warhead: a One-Megaton Nuclear bomb. At least THREE (3) of these TEL trucks, carrying ONE TOPOL-M each, are seen in the video, on-the-move inside Russia. [...] The sole purpose of this weapon is to utterly destroy entire cities: Knowledgeable observers might think: London, Paris, and Washington, DC. The fact that THREE of these missiles are now openly on the move inside Russia is likely no coincidence. It has been three separate countries, the United States, The United Kingdom, and France, that have supplied long-range weapons which are now being used by Ukraine to attack interior Russia.

The new Israeli massacre of Lebanese families comes on the heels of reports in western media claiming Tel Aviv is 'eager to reach a ceasefire agreement' with Lebanon | An eight-story residential building in the central Beirut neighborhood of Basta was destroyed after being hit by at least four Israeli missiles during the early hours of 23 November. At least six people have been confirmed killed and 24 injured. According to local reports, Israel once again used bunker-buster bombs inside the Lebanese capital due to the intensity of the blast and the amount of destruction caused. Reports from the site of the attack say the death toll is likely to rise due to the massive destruction that affected neighboring buildings. The Basta area in Beirut is crowded with residents and displaced persons. The Israeli army issued no prior evacuation warnings.
