Seems Russia has deployed one of their ballistic missile subs.

A top-of-the-line Russian nuclear-powered submarine has gone missing from its harbor in the Arctic along with its rumored "doomsday weapon," according to multiple reports.

NATO has reportedly warned members that Russia's Belgorod submarine no longer appeared to be operating out of its White Sea base, where it has been active since July. Officials warned that Russia may plan to test Belgorod's "Poseidon" weapons system, a drone equipped with a nuclear bomb that Russia has claimed is capable of creating a "radioactive tsunami," according to Italian media.

Either that or it sank at the pier.

My guess is that it already has two American attach submarines shadowing it with fireing solutions locked...

This Tom Clancy *expletive deleted*it is getting a little out of hand.

Reporters Go Into Panic Mode As Based Man Spits Facts Against The Narrative LIVE

This guy mentioned radar showing US helicopters circling the area of the pipeline break.  I hadn't heard that. 

If that was the actual people who did the destruction, they weren't trying to hide very much.  I would have expected us to do it more quietly.  Which makes me question the narrative.

If WE blew up a Russian pipeline, I would expect the Russians to retaliate by cutting one or more of our own undersea pipelines or cables. They wouldn't necessarily nuke Washington, a "tit-for-tat" response would probably be more likely.

Hmmm . . . China could blow up a Russian pipeline . . . then China could blow up a US pipeline . . . and then sit back and watch what happens.

I would take reports of a Russian nuclear armed and nuclear powered autonomous weapon with a large grain of salt.

Circle back to the Russian sub and where it is going. 

Could just be going to the Black Sea to sink some transports.

Russia has plenty of anti-ship air assets that can do that.

We've seen too much "Russia gonna nuke Ukraine" propaganda. Are the nuke rumblings really coming from Russian sources or "western" sources trying to gen up "justification for a preemptive nuclear NATO/US first strike against Russia...

Lots of Russian sources and Putin himself. Putin even made a speech 8 days ago saying he was serious and not bluffing, which was sort of a reference to how often he has made nuclear threats.

Russian state TV has been talking about a full nuclear holocaust ever since their army redeployed after the Kyiv siege failed. One news lady talks about how a full nuclear exchange will lead to Russians getting raptured while the soulless westerners will simply cease to exist.

Speak The Truth Youtube Channel frequently talks about how much he sees Russian State news talk about nuclear war vs how little he hears about it from the west.

 :lol:

Putin makes at least a couple good points. 

Quote from: Konstantin’s Twitter thread
You cannot feed your people with printed dollars and social media. You need food and energy. But Western elites have no desire to find a solution to the food and energy crises *they* (emphasis his) created.

.
.
.

They're crazy. I want to speak to all Russian citizens, do we want to replace mum and dad with parent 1 and 2?  They invented genders and claim you can "transition". Do we want this for our children?

We have a different vision.

They have abandoned religion and embraced Satanism - direct quote.

Putin’s still off his rocker.  Those points might fall under the “broken clocks and blind squirrels” headings.

Of course the elite in the USA are evil, he has got that right.

And of course the same is true of Russia.

I for one am grateful we have a president and administration who are more than qualified to deal with these difficult times.

In other words we are so *expletive deleted*ed

Case in point

Quote
    President Biden said in an address to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on Thursday night that the country under his leadership is as close to “Armageddon” as it has been since the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s.

    Speaking at a fundraiser in New York, Biden addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin threatening to use a nuclear weapon.

    “[Putin was] not joking when he talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons,” Biden said. “We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis.”

Then he goes on vacation

I always wondered what living under the specter of looming nuclear war was like but was born at the end of the Cold War but hey, looks like I get to find out first hand!
