I abhor #Trump. But this is how you sustain nuclear #deterrence and push back against threats:
"I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that"
The deployment comes after Medvedev, currently serving as deputy chairman of #Russia's Security Council, warned Trump on Thursday to remember that Moscow had Soviet-era #nuclear strike capabilities of last resort.
Germany wants to be able to bomb Moscow if necessary.
Why is Germany eyeing the US-made Typhon missile system?
With a range of over 1,700 kilometres, it could reshape Berlin’s defence posture, and extend its deterrence deep into Russian territory.
US general says NATO could seize Russia’s Kaliningrad in unheard of speed
#Kaliningrad Oblast, wedged between #Poland & #Lithuania, is surrounded by #NATO territory and spans just 75 km across
His remarks come amid the new allied strategy known as the Eastern Flank #Deterrence Line
The land domain is becoming more important. You can now take down area-denial bubbles from the ground. You can now take over sea from ground. All of this is happening in #Ukraine

Je ziet en hoort het gebeuren als er schuim in de afvoerleiding zit; dat registreert de sensor niet. te laag soorte..

Excellent article!!
“Amro Allan examines how Iran emerged from 12 days of war with its nuclear program intact, forcing a ceasefire without concessions, an act of strategic defiance that redefined the deterrence established against "Israel" and the US”
via Al Mayadeen English on Telegram

We further wiped out our credibility for negotiations with #Iran and gave an incentive to develop atomic #deterrence by invading and bombing them, spending hundreds of millions in ordnance & fuel, only to fail entirely to destroy their nuclear programme.

@haui yeah, the Guarantors of the West (#UK & #USA) failed to follow their contractual obligations, making them unreliable.
In fact, their non-action enabled Putin and they can be glad #Ukraine didn't took the logical consequence of leaving the #NPT citing said failure as reasoning.
