If russia fired a nuke at NY, the USA would fire a thousand nukes at every russian city, infastructure and military installation.
If so, without satellite guidance, few of them would hit their targets.

The Russians also have a 'dead hand' system in place.

Dead Hand, also known as Perimeter (Russian: Система «Периметр», romanized: Sistema "Perimetr", lit. '"Perimeter" System', with the GRAU Index 15E601, Cyrillic: 15Э601),[1] is a Cold War–era automatic nuclear weapons control system (similar in concept to the American AN/DRC-8 Emergency Rocket Communications System) that was constructed by the Soviet Union.[2] The system remains in use in the post-Soviet Russian Federation.[3][4] An example of fail-deadly and mutual assured destruction deterrence, it can automatically initiate the launch of the Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) by sending a pre-entered highest-authority order from the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Strategic Missile Force Management to command posts and individual silos if a nuclear strike is detected by seismic, light, radioactivity, and pressure sensors even with the commanding elements fully destroyed. By most accounts, it is normally switched off and is supposed to be activated during times of crisis; however, as of 2009, it was said to remain fully functional and able to serve its purpose when needed.[5][6]


Again, the US won't win a nuclear war with Russia. The whole world will lose. NATO needs to work on deescalating this war.

I see no evidence that Russia is grinding itself to dust; but if what you claim is true; it should raise even more alarm; as it leaves Russia with fewer options. I don't think that they are going to capitulate and just let us walk right in to seize their resources, anymore than the US would.

Let's see how Ukraine holds up this winter without electricity. That will give us a tiny taste of what it would be like if we were hit with an EMP.

They already had their electricity infrastructure hit last year. I don't see how this year would be much different.

From a spiritual standpoint this isn't a small matter and few realize who's behind wars. Christians say satan generically but he's the head. He dispatches his generals to carry out missions and that's who you're dealing with.

That level of warfare requires strategic prayer. You have to know who you're battling and deal with the strongman. And in this situation you'd need prayer warriors and people gifted with intercession. They're not low level entities. They're powerful.

International wars are leviathan's domain. Government's are the queen of heaven. Remember the rules of engagement. Know your enemy before you strike.

Our global hegemony is falling. China and India are the second and third strongest industrial powers, and they are buying gold and silver at monumental rates, as BRICS stands to replace the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. When considering the combined populations of those two nations, the populations, of the remaining nations combined, is dwarfed. The average lifespan of fiat currencies is about 35 years, and as the Dollar has been devalued to about 2% of it's worth, it's overdue to reach hyperinflation. Imperialism is expensive. Nations don't like to be controlled by outside nations.The US is not the first nation to devalue it's currency to fund an Imperialist military. This cycle has repeated for thousands of years.

When all else fails; they take you to war.

The internal politics of the USA are transparent to the rest of us. You have lost credibility since it went bitter and partisan. This started with Bush Junior and how he was denigrated. But Trump is the big accelerator to the decline in your reputation not least because he has been talking in terms of abandoning his allies. Also, your deficit financing is undermining the worth of the dollar making people wonder if they can trust you for their money. The concentration of wealth in the hands of people who often sound like idiots does not help either.

The solution is simple- renew the bond with your allies, balance your finances, learn some respect for each other in Congress and the House and kick-start the social mobility that was the foundation of the American dream.

I've been paying attention to the news from many nations since the '90's. They all have their own spin, and even within each nation, there are factions with their own spin. When you see where opposing sides correlate on their reports; it's easier to filter out the propaganda.

I think that the big tipping point in the US Dollar losing credibility was when the US seized the assets of Russia. The rest of the world saw that. Many nations were already frustrated that the US was pushing their agendas globally, and coercing them to do the bidding of the US, in order to get loans to prop up their failing economies, economies that were failing in part because of previous deals that they had made with the US. That, and the fact that the US dollar has been devalued to 2% of its' worth through inflation, launched BRICS.

When the world saw the US seize Russians assets; they realized that the US could do the same to them at any time. This accelerated the the expansion of BRICS. There will be another BRICS meeting next month, when it is expected that the details of how BRICS will go into full swing, will be decided. I hope that they decide to peg the currency to gold, rather than to the Yuan.

You have your perspective of why the US has lost credibility. Have you considered Russia's perspective? How about Kenya? Argentina?

Russian asset seizures amounted to $288Bn but the US deficit in 2024 is estimated at $1860bn. The basic issue for the dollar is that Americans have been living beyond their means since Clinton and in a partisan domestic environment no solution is in sight.

The US has been living beyond it's means since the American people were exploited with the creation of the Federal Reserve.

It accelerated when we departed from the Gold Standard in 1971.

History has shown us time and again that the devaluation of a nation's money goes hand in hand with Imperialism.

Right or Left, the International Bankers can't lose the race; when they're betting on all of the horses.

159 Countries Set to Adopt BRICS New Payment System​




159 Countries Set to Adopt BRICS New Payment System

The move is poised to be vital for the bloc and participating nations, and it appears there will be a lot of them. According to one Russian official, there are already 159 countries seeking to adopt the system currently. With a potential launch coming in October, it could have massive global market ramifications.

What an interesting channel. I especially like how they made a turn from videos of a pokemon mod for minecraft in portugese to "Russia stronk" war propaganda 6 months ago, hosted by everyone's favorite pedophile war commentator Scott Ritter.

Wow, how optimistic! Like Putin couldn't just fire one nuke at NY or DC, or maybe even San Francisco (if Harris elected) as a way of saying "Back off!" since nothing else has worked so far.
What good is a nuke stockpile if the owners of it prove themselves to be simply bluffing? We're calling Russia's bluff by equipping a neighboring country to attack the capitol of Russia.
If Russia was equipping Mexico or Canada with long range weapons to fire at cities in the USA, would we just let it happen, or would we take decisive action? And I'm speaking in general here, not specifically about Biden or Harris. We already know they'd either sleep on it, or laugh about it.
It would most likely be geopolitical Israel who would be the first. They have shocked the world this past week.

The U.S. is "sleepwalking" into a global war against its top adversaries united under an axis of "malign partnerships," and experts are sounding the alarm that neither the U.S. military nor the public are prepared for World War III.

In late July, a body of non-governmental national security experts, first tasked by Congress in 2022 under the Commission on the National Defense Strategy, released an evaluation of the U.S.’ overall security strategy put forward by the Biden administration two years ago.

The commission found that after decades of post-Cold War policies that cut defense spending and reduced investments in the security sector, Washington, D.C., is "not prepared" to counter Beijing in open conflict, let alone a multi-front war against China, Iran, North Korea and Russia.


It's about time that people started waking up. I've been telling people all year that WWIII has already started. Most everyone I tell can't see it. These wars don't start with a declaration, nor a flash bulb event. They mission creep. I doubt that there is any turning back at this point. The warmongers want full blown war.
Isn't former and would be again President Trump more of a Neville than a Churchill? I mean in terms of accommodating the taking of sovereign territory and ceding it to the aggressor in the name of peace?

Why would you want global hegemony? To take that without also accepting global responsibility would be reckless and irresponsible.

You would do well to study the history of that region, the plight of the Russians in Eastern Ukraine, how they want to be reunited with Russia, how the election was overturned, and of what CIA involvement; and how the US broke it's commitments to Russia not to move East, before you begin pointing your finger at aggressors. Demonizing nations that Imperialists would like to strip of their resources is an old trick that won't work with nuclear powers. Still overall, I think that it's a bit passe; but aside from fashion, one would think that anyone with an IQ higher than a burger and a french fry, would see right through it, after that "weapons of mass destruction" shtick.
