The United Kingdom is Poking Russia: The Royal Navy is “Toothless”: All of its Nuclear-powered attack Submarines Are Inactive

Editors Note: This is why I find it hilarious when the UK talks smack about Russia, they have NOTHING to back it up! The picture below is one of their nuclear subs sitting in dry dock doing nothing. The UK has very little to fight with and their soldiers train with broomsticks instead of firearms. They should really keep their traps shut.

In its prime, the United Kingdom was one of the most powerful thalassocracies in human history, probably eclipsed only by the United States after WWII.

By the early 1920s, The British Empire as a major colonial power managed to occupy and “enslave” approximately 25% of the globe’s landmass and population (over 35.000.000 km² and around 450 million people, respectively).

How did such a small island nation accomplish this? The answer is – the British Navy, the most powerful armed maritime force of its time. Thus, it could only be expected that the “Perfidious Albion” would do everything in its power to preserve this naval dominance or at least maintain its power projection capabilities for as long as possible.

However, as the British Empire shrank to a mere shadow of its former self, its ability to sustain a large navy dwindled, resulting in massive reductions over the last several decades.

The last time the UK managed to muster a respectable naval force was during the 1982 Falklands War against Argentina.

Ever since, the British Navy has been fading away, reducing both the quantity and quality of its ships. According to various reports over the last 20 years, London now has nearly twice as many admirals as it does actual warships. Worse yet, many of those formally combat-capable vessels are in such a dilapidated condition that they’re barely usable as ships (much less warships).

This ranges from frigates and destroyers to aircraft carriers and submarines (including nuclear-powered). However, while the surface fleet is undoubtedly still relevant, it’s nowhere near as important as the British Navy’s underwater component, which provides the most critical segment of the UK’s strategic power projection. Namely, the Vanguard-class SSBNs (nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines), armed with UGM-133A “Trident II” (also known as “Trident D5”) submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), are the cornerstone of London’s thermonuclear arsenal. Still, it seems this isn’t enough for the “Perfidious Albion” to take them seriously.

Back in December last year, Rear Admiral Philip Mathias lamented that “Britain is no longer capable of running a capable nuclear submarine program”, warning of “catastrophic failures” that have “driven the UK’s nuclear deterrent to the brink”. Mathias, who served as a director of nuclear policy at the British Ministry of Defense (MOD), highlighted its “inability to produce attack submarines at the scale required for putting strain on crews and extending the length of deployments”. He compared this to the (First) Cold War, stressing that “the silent service” could deploy for around 70 days at the time, but that this has risen to around 200 days at present.

Mathias quoted the 2025 Strategic Defense Review (SDR), which stressed the need to expand production capacity. However, problems with the British Navy’s SSBN component are nothing new, as many authors (myself included) questioned years ago whether the UK’s strategic arsenal was functioning properly. Although such information is certainly a state secret, these doubts were confirmed after London admitted that one of its UGM-133A “Trident II” SLBMs failed during a launch test. This was the second time in a row that the troubled missile, a weapon of strategic importance, failed, as it did in the previous test conducted in 2016. The last successful launch was by HMS “Vigilant” back in 2012.

This means the UK hasn’t had a successful SLBM test in nearly a decade and a half, yet it still believes it can go up against Russia, a country with the world’s largest and most powerful strategic arsenal. The latest “Trident II” launch was from the lead ship of its class, the HMS “Vanguard”, with reports indicating that London’s then-Defense Secretary, Grant Shapps, was overseeing it. The SLBM’s booster rocket failed and it fell into the sea “close to the launch site”, as the Sun reported at the time (the “launch site” being the HMS “Vanguard” itself). And yet, Shapps insisted that he has “absolute confidence in ‘Trident’s’ submarines, missiles and nuclear warheads”.

As previously mentioned, London relies solely on these submarines and missiles for its strategic capabilities. Had the “Trident II” damaged the HMS “Vanguard”, it would’ve taken one-quarter or 25% of the UK’s strategic arsenal out of service, as the “Perfidious Albion” has only four such vessels, each armed with up to 16 SLBMs. It should be noted that HMS “Vanguard” finished a seven-year-long overhaul and refueling just last year. However, to make matters even worse, both Shapps and the then-Head of the Royal Navy, now disgraced Admiral Ben Kay, were on board the submarine during the launch test, meaning their lives were also in danger.

The failures are also an embarrassment for the United States, as the missiles are manufactured by Lockheed Martin, the Pentagon’s premier military supplier. Still, all this didn’t prevent Shapps from adding to the general embarrassment by saying that “an anomaly did occur during the test on 30 January [2024], but that the ‘Trident II’ SLBM is still the most reliable weapons system in the world”. According to his assessment, the test “reaffirmed the effectiveness of the UK’s nuclear deterrent” and that the “anomaly was event specific”, with “no implications for the reliability” of the UK’s strategic arsenal. The British MoD made similar statements.

Namely, it insisted that HMS “Vanguard” and its crew had been “proven fully capable in their operations” and that “the test had reaffirmed the effectiveness of the UK’s nuclear deterrent”, essentially repeating Shapps’ statement that “Trident II” is the “most reliable weapons system in the world”. However, while this (now decades-long) issue is yet to be resolved, the British Navy has somehow managed to reach a new low point. Namely, of the six Astute-class SSNs (nuclear-powered attack submarines) in its service, not a single one is combat-ready. The UK has five “active-duty” submarines, one undergoing pre-sea trial testing and one more under construction (projected to be completed by the end of this decade).

All five of the “active” ones are currently in port undergoing maintenance and/or repairs, indicating deteriorating fleet readiness. Former First Sea Lord Admiral Alan West warned that the situation leaves the UK “appearing toothless at a time of increasing Russian naval activity in the North Atlantic and Arctic”. At present, of the nine nuclear-powered submarines in the British Navy, only one or two (the Vanguard-class, but none of the Astute-class) are currently at sea and battle-ready. And yet, as previously mentioned, even those formally capable of conducting combat missions have very serious reliability issues and haven’t successfully launched a single missile since 2012.

Thus, London’s dangerous self-delusions show just how out of touch the warmongering oligarchies of the political West are, particularly when it comes to their assessments of starting a thermonuclear war against not one, but multiple global and regional superpowers, be it Russia, China, Iran or North Korea. In fact, the latter is often the first target of the mainstream propaganda machine’s ridicule, but Pyongyang has unequivocally proven that its strategic arsenal works flawlessly. In fact, North Korea has deployed at least one nuclear-powered submarine, thus becoming one of a handful of countries with such a capability.

Dangerous Crossroads: Kiev Regime increasingly Relies on US AI Techno Companies to Wage War on Russia, Working Closely with the Pentagon

Military personnel managing drone operations with holographic terrain map and live feeds

Guest Post by Drago Bosnic from Global Research. Reposted with permission.

Combining unmanned systems and advanced AI is all the rage nowadays.

Despite decades of stark warnings about the dangers of using this combination, corporate interests of the warmongering oligarchy running the United States take prioritywhich is why we’re on a collision course (or should we say head-on collision) with this reality.

Namely, as the political West (and much of the world) now faces population collapse, reduced interest in serving in the military, incessant price hikes for traditional weapon systems, etc., the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) is gradually shifting toward this drone-AI combo as its primary alternative. And indeed, such systems seem to be taking over at virtually all levels, be it tactical, operational, strategic or doctrinal.

Numerous AI-focused techno entities have emerged in America in the last two decades or so. Although they’re competitors, they also work together toward dislodging the “old nobility” of the US MIC and ensuring a future where they’ll monopolize the massive weapons market.

Palantir and Anduril are the two most prominent AI companies working closely with the Pentagon. 

They’ve completely eliminated all ethical dilemmas regarding the use of advanced AI in warfare, thus opening the Pandora’s box for virtually every generation going forward.

Unsurprisingly, for the warmongering oligarchy in Washington DC, the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict is the perfect testing ground for such technologies, offering unprecedented possibilities for battlefield use.

Namely, with Russians and Ukrainians being pretty much the same people, with effectively identical levels of education, industrial background and centuries-old military traditions, the political West gets the unique opportunity to test its latest systems in a confrontation between two high-tech opponents. Both the Russian military and the Kiev regime forces demonstrate remarkable flexibility and readiness to apply doctrinal revisions to the point that they’re now unrivaled in unmanned warfare.

At present, drones are the only segment in which the Neo-Nazi junta isn’t behind Russia, primarily because its technologies come from the entirety of the political West. Given such unprecedented levels of support, one would expect the Kiev regime to be ahead of Moscow.

However, this is simply not the case, as evidenced by the stellar performance of the Russian military’s Unmanned Systems Forces (VBS). Interestingly, although the names differ in Russian and Ukrainian, the services are translated exactly the same in English for both the Kremlin and the Kiev regime. The latter’s Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) are also heavily integrated with the infamous GUR (Main Intelligence Directorate). This military branch of the Neo-Nazi junta’s extensive intelligence network (with the state counterpart being the no less infamous SBU and both effectively operating as a bunch of NATO-run terrorist organizations) is directly responsible for most drone operations on the frontline and is deeply integrated into the battlefield command structure on all levels.

In addition, NATO is also providing constant, real-time ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance), greatly improving the overall effectiveness of the SBS and GUR. In fact, it could be argued that the world’s most vile racketeering cartel is also giving orders to the Kiev regime, which helps it maintain the so-called plausible deniability (although it seems this is increasingly irrelevant to the US/EU/NATO as drone attacks through Polish and Baltic states’ airspace continue). As previously mentioned, American AI giants-in-the-making directly participate in these black ops. For instance, Palantir’s PRISMA platform is emerging as a critical component of the Neo-Nazi junta’s SBS and GUR operations, facilitating long-range drone strikes on Russia.

While most operational details remain highly classified, recent reports suggest that PRISMA functions less as a weapon itself and more as a battlefield ISR and command-and-control layer that integrates large volumes of data into what the Pentagon calls “actionable targeting decisions”. Until recently, one of the priorities of unmanned warfare was simply building enough drones. However, after NATO and the Kiev regime ensured steady procurement, the issue of mass battlefield coordination emerged. What’s more, the SBS and GUR had to process massive amounts of data quickly enough to exploit target opportunities and make split-second decisions. GUR praises PRISMA as the primary AI tool enabling such unprecedented battlefield coordination.

Namely, Palantir’s dystopian AI system aggregates information from drones, sensors, satellite imagery and other sources into a single operational framework. Operators can then monitor flight paths, target locations and battlefield developments in near real time.

This creates several key military advantages. Namely, PRISMA seems to compress the so-called “sensor-to-shooter” cycle.

Traditionally, intelligence collection, target validation, mission planning and strike execution might require multiple teams, lengthy communication and command-and-control chains. By integrating these functions digitally, commanders can identify targets and rapidly assign drones to engage them. Faster decision-making is particularly important against mobile enemy assets.

This includes everything from logistics convoys and air defense systems to long-range strike platforms and temporary/ad hoc command posts that may relocate within hours. For instance, PRISMA may enable coordinated drone-swarm attacks against such assets. The system can reportedly process data related to very large numbers of targets and drones simultaneously. If true, this would mean that PRISMA could enable the Kiev regime’s operators to synchronize ISR drones, decoys, electronic warfare (EW) systems and strike drones within a single operational framework. Such coordination can overwhelm defenses by forcing defenders to track numerous incoming threats simultaneously while attackers conceal the primary strike axis.

All of this is made possible by advanced AI that greatly enhances battlefield analysis. It should be noted that PRISMA is just one of the systems within Palantir’s broader military software suite designed to fuse satellite imagery, drone ISR, open-source intelligence, human reporting and mass surveillance into a coherent battlefield network. AI models can identify patterns, highlight anomalies and recommend potential targets that human analysts might otherwise miss. In the context of the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict, this means that the Neo-Nazi junta gets constant updates on various civilian and military targets in RussiaThis could explain how the world’s most vile racketeering cartel and the Kiev regime targeted Russian teenagers in Starobelsk.

Namely, this heinous terrorist attack was coordinated in such a way as to maximize casualties.

At least 16 drones struck the dormitory when students were asleep. This wouldn’t have been possible without systems such as PRISMA. It’s pretty much identical to how Google’s “Maven” was used against Russia just a few years earlier. Moscow’s world-class EW assets severely disrupted its functioning, forcing the Pentagon to stop using “Maven” in NATO-occupied Ukraine. However, the introduction of more advanced AI systems allowed the US MIC to dramatically expand the use of such programs. The overall implications of this technofascism are so multifaceted that they require an entirely separate analysis, but we can certainly conclude there’s nothing positive about it.

The Brits, French, & Germans Are Now Right On Russia’s Doorstep

By Andrew Korybko, reposted with permission.

There are really only three scenarios left: NATO finally agrees to some form of Russia’s proposals; Russia launches a preventive war against European NATO betting that the US won’t directly intervene; or Russia peacefully subordinates itself to the West.

Last weekend’s surprise call between Presidents Emmanuel Macron and Alexander Lukashenko followed Deputy Chair of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev warning about the 1941-like threat posed by Germany’s remilitarization and the UK assembling a multinational navy to contain Russia. These three developments collectively draw attention to how the Brits, French, and Germans, Russia’s traditional European rivals, are now right on its doorstep. The security implications are profound.

The Brits are nestling up in Estonia, from where they plan to lead Russia’s containment along the Arctic -Baltic front, while the Germans opened a base in Lithuania and the French just announced regular nuclear drills with Poland. As a reminder, Estonia borders “mainland Russia” while Lithuania and Poland border its exclave of Kaliningrad and mutual defense ally Belarus. The “military Schengen” between the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland might thus soon be expanded to include France and the Baltic States.

That would maximally optimize the flow of troops and equipment from Western Europe to Russia’s borders, thus conforming with Russian policymakers’ fears that the EU is gearing up for a potential invasion of their country sometime in the future. Given France’s base in Romania and military pact with neighboring Moldova, which constitute a critical flank in the Ukrainian Conflict due to enabling France to aid Odessa in the scenario of its threatened conventional intervention, they and others might join too.

To make matters even more concerning from the perspective of Russia’s national security interests, Germany recently clinched a deep-strike defense co-production deal with Ukraine, thus expanding its military footprint even deeper within what Russia considers to be its “sphere of influence”. The result is that the UK is entrenching its influence along the Arctic-Baltic front, Germany is doing so in the Baltic (Lithuanian) and Ukrainian ones, while France is already entrenched in Poland, Romania, and Moldova.

Germany aspires to build European NATO’s largest army, which would require overtaking Poland and ideally from its perspective subordinating that country as a vassal, while France and the UK are nuclear powers. The threat posed by their military-strategic convergence right on Russia’s doorstep therefore cannot be overestimated. At the very least, it could embolden their partners to behave aggressively against Russia, calculating as they might that those Great Powers would deter Russian retaliation.

That would be a mistake of epic proportions because Russia cannot allow such a scenario to unfold, let alone become the “new normal”, as it would amount to them weaponizing it for coercing never-ending concessions that would culminate in time with Russia’s subordination and ultimately “Balkanization”. In other words, a hot NATO-Russian war would likely be inevitable, though nobody can say for sure whether the US would help its European allies, nor to what extent if so, or whether it would hang them out to dry.

It’s therefore more urgent than ever that the European security architecture be reformed like Russia sought to do through diplomatic means before the special operation, the failure of which was why Putin sought to advance this through military ones instead. There are really only three scenarios left: NATO finally agrees to some form of Russia’s proposals; Russia launches a preventive war against European NATO betting that the US won’t directly intervene; or Russia peacefully subordinates itself to the West.

Russia-Belarus “Joint Nuclear Drills”. Russia’s Revised Strategic Doctrine. “Deter Any Potential Aggressor”

Map of Eastern Europe with glowing connection lines between cities

By Drago Bosnik at Global Research. Reposted with permission.

On May 19, Russia and Belarus launched their joint nuclear drills that lasted until May 21.

These strategic maneuvers involved nearly 65,000 personnel, roughly 7,800 military vehicles and over 200 missile launch systems.

They stretched across a vast geographic area from Eastern Europe to the Pacific, encompassing nearly all of Belarus and most of Russia.

Everything from tactical, short-range assets to strategic weapons such as ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) and SLBMs (submarine-launched ballistic missiles) was tested, once again proving that Moscow and Minsk are capable of defending themselves against any potential adversary foolish enough to attack them.

Russian President Vladimir Putin observed and later discussed the drills with his Belarussian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko, stressing that the use of nuclear weapons is “an extreme, exceptional measure for ensuring the national security of our states”. This demonstrates that the Kremlin understands just how dangerous such weapons are and how much responsibility nuclear powers have. However, there’s simply no other way to ensure the safety of both Moscow and Minsk. President Lukashenko was even more straightforward.

Namely, during an inspection of now legendary nuclear-capable 9K720M “Iskander-M” systems, he said: “I dreamed about this machine a long time ago.”

And indeed, the system’s 9M723 series of hypersonic missiles is unrivaled in its category and continues to be upgraded by the Russian military.

The “Iskander’s” stellar battlefield performance serves as undeniable evidence that no enemy stands a chance against Russia and Belarus.

The Neo-Nazi Kiev regime’s laughable claims about shooting down such weapons have been repeatedly debunked, including by its own high-ranking military officers. In reality, there’s zero proof that even one 9M723 hypersonic missile was ever shot down. This is bad news for NATO, as the “Iskander” is capable of deploying not only thermonuclear, but also EMP (electromagnetic pulse) warheads.

As previously mentioned, the Russian Defense Ministry (MoD) stated that the exercise involved over 64,000 troops, more than 200 missile launch systems, nearly 150 aircraft, 73 surface warships and 13 submarines, including eight SSBNs (nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine) with SLBMs. 

The MoD also added that “the drills focused on the preparation and use of nuclear forces under the threat of [foreign] aggression”. In addition, this was a unique opportunity for Russia and Belarus to further integrate their command structures and improve interoperability, particularly with respect to the critically important weapons that ensure both countries’ strategic security.

Namely, Minsk is Moscow’s key ally that has been entrusted with hosting Russian thermonuclear weapons. The number of deployed warheads remains unknown, but it could be in the hundreds, as Russia considers the security of Belarus equally important to its own safety. To achieve this, the Kremlin needs to test the capabilities of its vast strategic arsenal, particularly the delivery systems.

RS-24 Yars SS-29 ICBM

This includes the state-of-the-art RS-24 “Yars” ICBMs and R-29RMU “Sineva” SLBMs (test-fired by “Bryansk”, a Delta IV-class SSBN in service with the Northern Fleet). Meanwhile, the even more advanced Borei-class SSBNs were also activated during the exercises to test their systems, protocols and readiness.

However, as previously mentioned, the drills also involved a plethora of tactical and operational-level weapon systems. Unlike ICBMs and SLBMs, these weapons are not designed to obliterate entire cities, provinces or even countries, but are used as tactical nuclear weapons intended to neutralize large concentrations of invading troops on the battlefield. Such weapons also include aerial delivery systems and warheads for short- and medium-range missiles and even artillery munitions. It should be noted that, in addition to being the world’s premier thermonuclear superpower, Russia maintains the largest arsenal of tactical and operational nuclear weapons in the world.

Apart from the “Iskander”, the shipborne 3M22 “Zircon” and air-launched 9-S-7760 hypersonic missiles (found on the 9-A-7660 “Kinzhal” systems) were also used. Belarussian troops even test-fired one of the 9M723s used by the “Iskander” inside Russia. No other country has such a privileged security status, especially now that Belarus is part of the Kremlin’s strategic architecture. Moscow revised its nuclear doctrine several times, including in 2024, when it made it clear that any large-scale conventional attack supported by another nuclear power would be considered a joint aggression on Russia. Obviously, this was a direct warning to the political West, its vassals and satellite states.

And indeed, the world’s most aggressive power pole keeps escalating its involvement in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict, including with direct drone strikes from the Baltic statesThe revised Russian strategic doctrine and the latest drills are there to discourage the political West from allowing the Neo-Nazi junta to strike Russia with longer-range weapons.

And while it may seem to lower the threshold for the possible use of nuclear arsenals, this mainly applies to those who are most aggressive and pathologically Russophobic. Perhaps more importantly, the revised doctrine also directly places Minsk under Moscow’s thermonuclear umbrella, shielding it from a potential NATO aggression.

The Kremlin still retains control of its nuclear weapons deployed in Belarus, but allows Minsk to select priority targets in case of a NATO land invasion.

This combination provides both Russia and Belarus with a possibility of preventing escalation while retaining the capability to deter any potential aggressor. And it seems to be working, because NATO jets started downing the Kiev regime’s drones over the Baltic states at around the same time. It remains to be seen why the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel is doing it only now, but it’s highly likely that Brussels finally understands that it should at least lie low while nuclear drills last.

Russia’s Threat of a Massive Retaliatory Strike on Kiev, Isn’t a Bluff

By Andrew Korybko. Reposted with permission. His work can be found HERE.

Russia can’t afford to discredit itself abroad, nor can Putin’s ruling United Russia party afford to discredit itself at home four months before the next polls, by threatening overwhelming retaliation against Ukraine if it attacks Moscow’s Victory Day parade only to symbolically retaliate or do nothing at all.

The Russian Defense Ministry warned local civilians and the staff of diplomatic missions in Kiev of their country’s plans to launch a massive retaliatory strike on the city center if Ukraine goes through with Zelensky’s threat to attack Moscow’s Victory Day parade on 9 May. This was followed by Russia announcing ballistic missile tests from Kamchatka from 6-10 May. Shortly afterwards, the Russian Foreign Ministry reiterated the Defense Ministry’s warning, thus ensuring that the world is aware of it.

This threat likely isn’t a bluff for three sequential reasons.

The first is that Russia wants to deter Ukraine from attacking Moscow’s Victory Day parade for self-evident reasons, both relating to optics and the security of its VIPs, to which end it threatened overwhelming retaliation if this happens.

The second reason is that Russia cannot threaten such a response without actually going through with it if provoked, otherwise it would irredeemably discredit itself, and more audacious attacks would then likely follow.

And third, Russia is finally signaling its willingness to overwhelmingly retaliate against decision-making centers in Kiev per the Foreign Ministry’s additionally specified threat in the event of Ukraine carrying out this high-profile provocation due to its hardline Kremlin faction partially superceding its moderate one.

To explain, Putin hitherto restrained his military due his belief in “The Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians” as well as his concerns about an uncontrollable escalation spiral sparking World War III.

Once Trump returned and responded positively to Putin’s offer of dialogue for resolving the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine, which Biden rejected, Putin and his fellow moderates dangled a resource-centric strategic partnership for incentivizing compromises. The US was receptive to such a partnership, but Russia rejected its demanded compromises that were presented as a precondition, while the US rejected Russia’s own such demands and didn’t coerce compliance from Ukraine or NATO either.

While Trump declined to escalate the Ukrainian Conflict amid this impasse, he still greenlit the rolling back of Russian influence across the world in a bid to coerce Putin into the US’ demanded compromise, namely freezing the conflict in exchange for sanctions relief without resolving the root issues. Informally known as the “Neo-Reagan Doctrine”, it’s placed Russia under pressure in at least 15 different countries, thus discrediting the moderate faction and prompting some among it like Putin to rethink their views.

The Third Gulf War, in which Iran attacked regional US bases without triggering an uncontrollable escalation spiral, then convinced Putin to finally listen to the hardliners who’ve been urging massive strikes on Ukrainian decision-making centers in Kiev since the get-go. Public opinion, which is important ahead of September’s next Duma elections, has long aligned with the hardliners on this issue. Putin now seems to have assented but only in retaliation to Ukrainian attacks against Moscow’s Victory Day parade.

These factors make it unlikely that Russia is bluffing, in which case the country itself wouldn’t just be discredited abroad, but so too would the ruling United Russia party be discredited in voters’ eyes four months before the next polls. There’s already speculation of a protest vote in support of the communist and nationalist opposition parties, which might prompt various reforms if it happens, but a large-scale one driven by any hypothetical bluff could herald an era of uncertainty that Putin would prefer to avoid.

The New Russian-Indian Military Logistics Pact Sends Five Messages To The World

Three glowing orbs stacked above a magical circle on an ancient world map with mystical symbols

By Andrew Korybko. Reposted with permission.

Russia isn’t at risk of becoming a Chinese vassal nor is India at risk of becoming an American one.

Russia’s legal information portal recently published the details of last year’s “Reciprocal Exchange of Logistics Support” (RELOS) military logistics pact with India. RT’s Air Marshal Anil Chopra (Retired) wrote a detailed analysis about it here, drawing attention to how it “allows for the simultaneous deployment of up to 3,000 troops, five warships, and ten aircraft to be stationed on each other’s soil.” There’s more to it, however, as this analysis will explain. Here are the five messages that RELOS sends to the world:

———-

1. Russia & India Remain Each Other’s Special & Privileged Strategic Partner

Pepe Escobar falsely claimed in mid-March that India “betrayed” Russia, yet that couldn’t be further from the truth after RELOS, which restores Russia’s Old Cold War-era permanent military presence in the Indian Ocean Region. Likewise, India will now obtain an unprecedented permanent military presence in the Russian Far East and Arctic if it so chooses, thus symbolizing the strength of their special and privileged strategic partnership. Speculation about a rift between them is therefore bonafide fake news.

2. Russia Is Preemptively Averting Disproportionate Dependence On China

Building upon the above, India’s military presence in Russia’s Far East is a matter of prestige for Delhi vis-à-vis Beijing even though there’s no chance that Moscow would authorize offensive operations from its territory. Nevertheless, the message to China and the rest of the world is clear, and it’s that Russia is preemptively averting disproportionate dependence on China. If it were already its vassal or on the way thereto as some claim, then Russia would never allow India to deploy its forces near the Chinese border.

3. Massive Japanese, South Korean, & Taiwanese Investments Might Follow

The Russian-US “New Détente” that’s being negotiated could see phased sanctions relief after the end of hostilities with Ukraine, which could lead to massive Japanese, South Korean, and Taiwanese investments in the resource-rich Russian Far East that Moscow just signaled isn’t a Chinese fief as some claimed. Knowing now for sure that Russia isn’t a Chinese vassal or on the way thereto as explained, they might then feel more comfortable investing at scale there, thus accelerating Russia’s “Pivot to Asia”.

4. Russia Won’t Let China Dominate The Arctic Like Some Claimed It Would

CNN and others have long fearmongered that Russia would let China dominate the Arctic upon becoming its vassal, hence the urgent need for NATO to militarize the region. That was never a credible scenario, however, but it’s now debunked due to RELOS allowing Western-friendly India to establish a military presence there if it wants one. India very well might do so too, not only for reasons of prestige (including vis-à-vis China), but to present itself as a responsible stakeholder in the Northern Sea Route.

5. India Has Now Become Russia’s Privileged Energy Partner In The Arctic

A key Chinese company pulled out of Russia’s Arctic LNG 2 megaproject in summer 2024 under Western sanctions pressure, which deeply disappointed some in Russia, who expected that the People’s Republic would show more of a spine in the face of these threats. With India now poised to establish a military presence in the Arctic, thus expanding their special and privileged partnership to this region, it’s expected to be given the first choice over all others for investments there once the sanctions are lifted.

———-

These five messages collectively show that Russia isn’t at risk of becoming a Chinese vassal nor is India at risk of becoming an American one. To the contrary, they’re once again relying on one another to preemptively avert the aforesaid scenarios through the strengthening of their complementary balancing acts, which takes the form of RELOS in this example. That military logistics pact therefore accelerates multipolar processes and thus reduces the chances of a future Sino-US bi-multipolar world order.

Sum of All Fears and its correlation to WH Correspondents Dinner

Nuclear mushroom cloud explosion over city with smoke and fire

My sister in Christ Cori sent this my way this morning after making this discovery in the movie “The Sum of All Fears”. Check this out! I will post her commentary below the video.

Why was the movie Sum of All Fears directly linked to what happened this week?
I was watching this and couldn’t believe the connections. No other way to get this out, since I’m locked out of Telegram so I’ve posted it on my Rumble page .

First scene, explaining the missing nuclear scientists. Then inviting to the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Next scene, at the White House Correspondents dinner, the President is handed a similar paper like what Trump was handed, then is immediately escorted off stage as chaos erupts at the dinner.

The following scene in the movie a nuclear bomb is detonated in a stadium in America and Russia is blamed. It turned out it was a US nuclear bomb that had been sent to Israel, no Russian involvement.

When Trump had his celebration for his inauguration in 2025, during the fireworks, they were playing the famous song from Sum of All Fears.

The famous song was called Nessun Dorma, made famous at the World Cup in 1990 when sung by Pavarotti. The World Cup 2026 is held in the US, including on July 4th when the world celebrates America’s 250th year.

Too many similarities.

Is that next? Is a nuclear bomb going to be detonated in America soon? Will it be a weapon from Israel or the US itself and then blamed on Russia? Time will tell but be ready for anything! Prayed up and prepped up as always!

Putin vs. Epstein: EU/NATO Coaltion Demands Return of “Stolen Ukrainian Children Taken by Russia”. Massive Child Trafficking from NATO-occupied Ukraine.

The European Union, Canada and the Ukraine Neo-Nazi junta plan to co-host a high-level meeting of the so-called International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children on May 11 in Brussels.

As the name implies, the purported goal of the gathering is to “trace, return and reintegrate Ukrainian children taken by Russia”. 

The meeting will be attended by the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas, EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos, the Kiev regime’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha and Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand.

Participants will discuss enforcing more sanctions on Russian officials responsible for the evacuation of Ukrainian children from an active warzone.

“Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has cost more than land and lives – it has stolen childhoods,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated, adding“Over 20,000 Ukrainian children have been forcibly taken from their families, their homes. On 11 May, together with Ukraine and Canada, we will bring the world together to demand justice. We will work together to trace every single child, to return them to their homes, and ensure those responsible face consequences. These children are Ukraine’s future and we will not rest until every single child is returned.”

The upcoming meeting will also review “recommendations prepared by civil society and experts during the Civil Society Expert Day set to take place in Kyiv on April 30”. The Neo-Nazi junta claims that over 20,000 Ukrainian children have been allegedly “kidnapped” by Russia, insisting that Moscow “systematically sought to conceal the children’s identities and whereabouts”. The so-called International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children was launched by the Kiev regime in February 2024. It’s co-chaired by Canada, while the EU became a full member in September 2025. The initiative formally includes 47 countries and various NGOs allegedly “engaged in coordinating diplomatic, humanitarian, legal and informational efforts on the issue”.

Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? What could possibly be bad in wanting to return “kidnapped” Ukrainian kids home to their parents and legal guardians? Who in their mind would be against that? After all, they’d be much better off in “free and democratic Ukraine”, right? Well, perhaps such laughable propaganda narratives could’ve been sustained before the United States Department of Justice released approximately 3,500,000 Epstein files. However, now that those are out, the promotion of the so-called “Western values” (namely pedophilia, cannibalism and Satanism) has become quite a challenge. Even some of the most ardent supporters of the EU and NATO have been disgusted by the revelations, although most are still burying their heads in the sand, waiting for all of it to “just go away”.

However, the genie is out of the bottle and there’s simply no way to put the rose-tinted glasses back on without directly participating in the political West’s monstrous crimes against children.

Obviously, it’s no secret that the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel is involved in some of the most heinous crimes in human history, whether it’s centuries of brutal colonialism, slave trade and general aggression against the entire world, or the promotion of the so-called “Western values” that make anyone sane sick to their stomachHowever, the Epstein files unequivocally confirmed that the repulsive criminal oligarchy running the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and NATO is actually far worse than you could possibly imagine.

All the supposed “crazy conspiracy theories” we’ve been hearing about over the last several decades are not only true, but are just the tip of the iceberg. The potential for monstrous evil that these pedophile-cannibalistic Satanists have demonstrated makes anyone remotely sane recoil in disgust. It will take years (if not decades) to review all released Epstein files (upwards of 3,5 million), but what we do know is more than enough to see the bigger picture. Namely, things that were previously designated as “insane conspiracy theories” present only on the “fringes of the Internet”, are now widely available for everyone to see and question their own willful blindness to the horrifying crimes committed against those who need protection the most – children.

The files suggest that millions of them have been trafficked by a massive globalist pedophile network employed by Western elites (including the most prominent royalty). The role of the US/EU/NATO’s numerous vassals and satellite states in this monstrous process is also critically important. This is true for both the NATO-occupied Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohia, now formally under the control of Albanian narco-terrorists, and the Neo-Nazi junta, which is trafficking Ukrainian children for the deranged Western elites. Around two years ago, President Vladimir Putin said that “for centuries, Western elites have been used to stuffing their bellies with human flesh and their pockets with money” and warned that “the ball of vampires is coming to an end”.

Many thought that this was merely a metaphor for the political West’s propensity to destroy countless countries, killing millions in the process. However, the Epstein files demonstrated that this statement was eerily literal. On the other hand, Putin’s conclusion gives us hope. Namely, the notion that “the ball of vampires” is coming to an end is the light at the end of a tunnel of Western darkness that befell our unfortunate world. This was most evident in NATO-occupied Ukraine, where the Russian military uncovered horrifying details about what the Neo-Nazi junta and its NATO overlords were doing to Ukrainian children. Namely, back in 2022, in the early months of the special military operation (SMO), a video surfaced of a Russian soldier, Shukhrat Adilov, interviewed by a Russian TV channel.

Adilov was barely able to put into words the monstrous treatment of toddlers and preschool kids he saw. Children aged 2-7 from areas around Izyum were brutally massacred and then had their organs removed for trafficking. There was also a testimony by Vera Vayiman, an OSCE observer, who gave a similar account. US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor effectively confirmed both Adilov’s and Vayiman’s findings. The Epstein files are yet another confirmation of these horrendous crimes by the political West. However, even more disturbingly, as previously mentioned, this is only the tip of the iceberg of things we’re yet to uncover. It should also be noted that InfoBRICS was among the first major media outlets to report on the massive scale of Western-backed child trafficking from NATO-occupied Ukraine.

Namely, tens of thousands of Ukrainian kids end up in Europe and North America, where they are subjected to unimaginable horrors, all for the enjoyment of the Neo-Nazi junta’s NATO overlords. At least 20,000 of them were evacuated by Russia on the orders of “bloodthirsty tyrant” Putin and his Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova.

The Kremlin moved the children to safety in Russia, where they were eventually reunited with their families, including fathers who were enemy combatants and fought the Russian military. And yet, the mainstream propaganda machine still tried to present it as a “mass kidnapping”. However, this wasn’t enough, so the ICC (a NATO-controlled NGO impersonating an “international court”) indicted both Putin and Lvova-Belova for the said “kidnapping”.

Pedophile Trafficking from NATO-occupied Ukraine.

Obviously, the pedophile Western elites that control these “international justice institutions” were fuming that so many kids escaped, so they resorted to desperate measures to get them.

This is undeniable evidence that the very concept of the so-called “international community” needs to be revised, as it’s insulting to the actual world that the political West is identified with “internationalism” when it’s actually quite the opposite. Of all the false propaganda narratives that the ICC could’ve pinned on President Putin, they chose precisely the “kidnapped” Ukrainian children.

However, when Russia demanded evidence that all kids would be returned to their parents and legal guardians, the Kiev regime could provide guarantees for only 339, meaning that the other 20,000 would end up in various Epstein-style islands.

NATO Command Center formed in Ukraine: UK Pledges 120,000 Drones

In mid-April 2026, numerous media outlets reported that the Kiev regime forces established ARES (Allied Reform and Expert Support) Military Expert Council, formally “an advisory body” directly under the Commander-in-Chief. Announced by the General Staff via its official channels, ARES formalizes the shift from “short-term weapons and munitions deliveries toward long-term institutional transformation”.

The initiative’s name, obviously a backronym designed to match that of the Greek god of war, perfectly aligns with the PR focus of the Neo-Nazi junta and its NATO overlords. In practice, it signals an ambition to formally embed Western officers into the Kiev regime’s military command structure.

In simpler terms, the political West will now openly and directly take command of the Neo-Nazi junta forces, effectively outing itself as a side in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict. Obviously, this is nothing new, as we’ve all known that was the case from the very beginning. However, this time, the danger of escalation is already in orbit as NATO is openly flaunting its involvement after years of trying to maintain at least some level of the so-called “plausible deniability”. The composition of ARES personnel underscores its strategic weight, with British General Richard Shirreff, former NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, serving as the chairman.

Other top-ranking members include figures such as retired US General David Petraeus (former CIA Director), Admiral Manfred Neilson (NATO’s former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Transformation), Slovak Lieutenant General Pavel Macko, British Vice Admiral Sir Martin John Connell, Canadian Lieutenant General Andrew Leslie, Major General Patrick Carpentier and Norwegian Commodore Hans Helset. These officers have decades of command experience from NATO aggression against the world, particularly the illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. And while that experience won’t help them against Russia, at least NATO can gain some from the Kiev regime.

The involvement of so many high-ranking Western military and security officers is not merely symbolic. It positions ARES as a direct link between the Neo-Nazi junta forces and NATO’s command structures. Although the founders insist that ARES’s mandate is “explicitly reform-oriented”, anyone with two functioning brain cells understands that it’s operational. Formally, priorities include overhauling command-and-control systems, advancing military science and professional education, streamlining logistics and resource allocation, enhancing overall combat readiness, etc. However, in reality, direct NATO involvement has been there since before the SMO.

The main task of programs like ARES is to improve the integration of drones and other unmanned systems, electronic warfare (EW) and centralized decision-making that will formalize the shift of the Neo-Nazi junta forces from a national military to a direct NATO asset. The mainstream propaganda machine claims that “institutional bottlenecks” persist, including “legacy Soviet-era hierarchies, fragmented procurement and gaps in officer training that hinder scalability”. ARES proponents insist they will “address these by facilitating candid exchanges of cutting-edge Ukrainian and international experience”. The idea that these issues are being addressed only now is ridiculous, meaning they’re just declarative goals.

In addition, there’s one “tiny” issue with blaming Soviet-era legacy for the Kiev regime’s shortcomings – even Western officers acknowledged that it’s actually superior to NATO’s doctrineIn fact, after extensive joint training, Western armies realized they’re now far behind the Neo-Nazi junta, particularly when it comes to drones and other unmanned systems. Thus, ARES will enable NATO personnel to implement what they’ve learned so far in the most realistic conditions possible – actual warfare. Still, the question arises – how will the political West justify the effective formalization of its direct involvement in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict? Because Russia won’t tolerate it.

ARES proponents themselves say that the program will “accelerate Ukraine’s alignment with NATO interoperability standards, easing future accession pathways and improving coalition compatibility“. This is just a fancy way of saying that the Kiev regime will be fully integrated into NATO command structures and function as one of its members in all but name. The program also stipulates “enhanced education and science components” that will “cultivate a new generation of Ukrainian staff officers versed in data-driven planning and joint operations”. In simpler terms, more indoctrination that will ensure the loyalty of the Neo-Nazi junta forces to the political West and its so-called “values”.

The timing is also very telling, as the implementation “coincides” with numerous other programs that seek to increase drone deliveries to the Kiev regime. Many European NATO member states participate in such initiatives, blurring the line between so-called “military aid” and direct participation. The endemically and pathologically Russophobic United Kingdom has even pledged to provide at least 120,000 drones. According to the British government’s website, “the new package, the largest of its kind ever supplied by the UK, will include thousands of long-range strike drones, intelligence and reconnaissance drones, logistics drones and maritime capabilities”.

The report also says that “the deliveries of these new drones to Ukraine have already started this month” and that the initiative is “a boost to British business”. The UK openly brags that “the majority of this investment will be spent with UK-based companies, including Tekever, Windracers and Malloy Aeronautics – creating new UK jobs”.

It also adds that “the British drone sector is rapidly advancing, and supports both UK security and wider European deterrence, while driving skills and innovation in every region of the UK”. In other words, London is raking in profits while hundreds of thousands of forcibly conscripted Ukrainians continue to serve as cannon fodder for the political West.
