Russian Warship with hypersonic missiles goes for a training exercise in the English Channel. Nonchalantly, while whistling to itself.
A Russian navy warship equipped with Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, has recently conducted counter-terrorism drills in the English channel and is now carrying out missions in the Atlantic Ocean., according to Russian news agencies.
The Northern Fleet ship, Admiral Golovko, engaged in exercises simulating drone attacks from air and sea as part of its training.
The vessel is capable of reaching speeds several times the speed of sound and a range of up to 900 km, poses a significant challenge to defence systems.
This deployment marks the Admiral Golovko’s first long-distance mission since joining the Russian Navy in December 2023. The ship departed from its northern base on 2 November.
Now, in case your geography is a little sketchy, the English Channel is that bit of water between the UK and France. It’s not exactly a very wide stretch of water. A guy I used to work with has crossed it 9 different times. By swimming.
And playing around with hypersonic missiles there means you are within about 100km of London and 200km of Paris, so you could land a nuke on London in less than a minute and one in Paris in about a minute and a half. If you use the “slow” Hypersonic missiles. If they use an Avangard it’s about 12 seconds, and under 30 seconds for Paris.
Now, you may think, as I do, that this is just a friendly warning, and it probably is, but it’s basically the equivalent of drawing a loaded firearm in your “colleague’s” house and waving it at his face, purportedly to show him how easily you can draw it and get it ready while pointing at his head. It’s the kind of “friendly warning” no one does without very good reason, and almost certainly without the willingness to go to the next step if the message is not dutifully (and quickly) received.
Don’t get me wrong, I still think almost all the politicians of the planet are scum, but if Putin gives a bunch of captive governments, like my own, at least a chance to escape the diaspora “Americans” that run the USA a little bit, and maybe send all the US military bases back to the USA (where all sane US citizens actually would prefer they are), more power to him.
Of course, it would all just be so much easier if everything was done by a system closer to the intent of what the guy who wrote Assassination Politics came up with decades ago (and for which his life was practically ruined). Of course, it was a more innocent time back then, and we didn’t realise quite how pervasive the deep state was, (well, some of us did, but we were called “crazy conspiracy theorists”) that system today would just make it easier to have only puppets in place.
If there was a system in place that saw to it that any warmongers had to be on the front-line, dressed in bright red, how many wars do you think would be waged?
If any of the banksters and their minions that pull the strings of politicians all just had to be formed into an armed front-line battalion in case of ANY war, regardless of the supposed cause? How many wars do you think there would be then?
We could literally have peace on Earth by seeing to it that the higher up the ladder of corporate or state finance you are, as well as the higher up the ladder of political leadership you are, you automatically get drafted into any conflict your nation enters into. And a small percentage also gets drafted into any secret/special/black-ops that happen. Penalty for dodging the draft? Execution by firing squad.
Let’s call it the Kurgan’s Peace Plan for the World. I’ll post on it next.
