Russia has a very capable military, and is a nuclear superpower if not THE HARDEST nuclear super power on the planet.
To treat Russia like a 3rd world developing nation (imposing sanctions) seems completely crazy to me.
Russia can't compete with Nato or China with conventional forces, so trying to compensate it with nuclear weapons. A failed state, which want to revise defeat of cold war. |

Confrontations expected tomorrow in occupied Eastern Ukraine! Residents urged not to panic but to stay safely at home. * More Russian tanks arriving and marked with Ukrainian insignia * 3,000 Ukrainian National Guard uniforms bought by Russians-paid militants * Russian soldiers ordered to stop wearing Russian identification * Ukraine Intelligence hears plans of large provocations/casualties planned * Russian journalists have arrived to document the fiasco and blame Ukraine Note: Russia didn't like the anti-Russia results of the recent Ukraine elections, so they planned their own election in the occupied territories. Tomorrow. Oct. 29, 2014 According to recent reports the activity of terrorists and Russian troops is observed to have increased before the so-called elections, which are planned for November, 2. The shift of Russian units from Rostov region to Donetsk and southern regions of Donetsk oblast’ is also noticed. Military personnel of Russian units received an order to give up all personal belongings, including documents, chevrons etc. Two military convoys of vehicles and personnel in Cossacks uniform are reported to arrive at the area. The intelligence reports a series of large provocations with numerous casualties to be planned for November, 2 on the territories under control of terrorists and first of all in Donetsk and nearby. “We have information that terrorists’ tanks are marked with Ukrainian Army and National Guard insignia. The bandit groups of DPR and LPR ordered three thousands Ukrainian National Guard uniforms, already drawn into circulation. Journalists of Russian mass media arrive at the uncontrolled territories to cover the illegal poll on November, 2 and 9. We want to warn the citizens that it will be life threatening to take part in the so-called elections, as there is a high probability of terrorist acts at the voting precincts”, – emphasized the spokesman of the National Security and Defence Council. Yesterday afternoon in Donetsk terrorists were shelling at Kuybyshev and Kyiv districts. As a result of a shell hit a house at the address 56, Rayduzhna Str. was totally destroyed, 1 civil person died. October 30, 2014 Terrorists are going to distribute resources of another so-called “humanitarian convoy” from Russia among the locals during the self-proclaimed “elections”, which are to take place on November, 2. According to current information, the head of the “DPR” terrorist organization Alexander Zakharchenko pledged to shoot bandits for stealing and resale of humanitarian aid. “Moreover, Zakharchenko said that the residents of Donbass should not rely heavily on humanitarian assistance, as it is not going to suffice for everyone. In addition, he suggested that local residents should “earn their meal by themselves.” In fact, Zakharchenko admitted facts we have reported earlier: the lion’s share of humanitarian aid does not manage to reach the civilians in the occupied territories. It is obtained by terrorists for their own consumption or for sale through shops “- said a spokesman of the National Security and Defence Council. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has condemned plans of armed groups in the east of Ukraine to conduct their own “elections” on November, 2. Holding such elections violates the Constitution of Ukraine and its laws. A spokesman of EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton said that the EU regrets the statements of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about Moscow’s recognition of so-called local elections in Lugansk and Donetsk “People’s Republics”, which violate the Minsk agreements. The United States have supported the position of France on the suspension of the decision on the transfer of “Mistral” to Russia. French Finance Minister Michel Sapin said that the conditions are currently unaccetable for the transfer of helicopter carrier “Mistral” to Russia. US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt said the United States will supply Ukraine with military high technologies to help troops fighting in the East to protect themselves. “For example, antimine-thrower radiolocation radar systems that we will supply in the coming months along with respective staff training”, he said. US State Department spokesman Jen Psaki expressed concern over the decision of the Russian Court to keep Nadiya Savchenko under the detention in custody for several months more. However, she stressed that the allegations of the Russian court of Savchenko having illegally crossed the border of Russia “are outrageous and contrary to logic.” At the same time, she said, we know that “Savchenko was kidnapped in eastern Ukraine by terrorists and secretly transported to Russia against her will.” Psaki said the decision of Russian court to keep Ukrainian pilot under the detention in custody until the 13-th of February is a violation of Russia’s obligations under the Minsk Agreement. “We call on Russia to release her immediately,” said a spokesman of the US State Department.

Kiev OFFICIALLY claims:almost all Russian troops that used to concentrate at border entered Ukrainehttp://newsdaily.com.ua/post/530266More and more reports coming in regarding increased military activity, stockpiling of arms, preparing cannon fodder... After the fake elections we can expect a resumption of war and the occupation of more Ukrainian territory... One step closer to the downfall of the criminal Putin regime. But why do baby people will have to die first?! Putin is the biggest threat to world peace. Not because if his size, and not because if his intellect. But because he is ruthless, without empathy, in charge of a criminal gang and facing people who fear him. That is a horrible and life-threatening combination. http://rusjev.net/2014/11/02/putin-gotovit-100-tyisyachnuyu-armiyu-dlya-ataki-na-harkov-dnepropetrovsk-i-zaporozhe/

Russia has over the last 72 hours tested its entire nuclear triad consisting of strategic bombers; submarines and this ICBM launched Saturday morning. This Topol-M ballistic missile was launched from Plesetsk in Arkhangelsk region Saturday morning. (Photo: Russian Ministry of Defense) At 09:20 am (Moscow time), this silo-based Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from Plesetsk in Arkhangelsk Oblast. A few minutes later, the dummy nuclear warhead hits its target on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia’s far eastern corner, the Ministry of Defense reports. The Ministry adds that the Topol-M missile has an “extremely high accuracy of target destruction.” Strategic bombers On Friday, Norwegian F-16s were scrambled from Bodø airbase for the second time this week as a group of four Tu-95 strategic bombers were approaching from the northeast, Norway’s TV2 reports. The bombers, flying out over the Barents Sea from Russia’s Kola Peninsula, were accompanied by four Il-78 tankers. On Wednesday, a similar group of four strategic bombers and four tanker aircrafts were flying southbound along Norway’s northern coast. Six of the aircrafts turned around and flew north again over the Norwegian- and Barents Seas before heading home to Russia. The two last flew all the way south to outside Portuguese airspace before heading north again. After scrambling fighter jets from Norway and Great Britian, NATO said in a statement that the Russian bombers pose a risk to civilian air traffic. “The bomber and tanker aircraft from Russia did not file flight plans or maintain radio contact with civilian air traffic control authorities and they were not using on-board transponders. This poses a potential risk to civil aviation as civilian air traffic control cannot detect these aircraft or ensure there is no interference with civilian air traffic,” NATO said. Tu-95 is a turboprop aircraft built during the Cold War to carry nuclear weapons and is because of its long range included in the strategic nuclear forces. Strategic submarines The third arm of Russia’s nuclear triad, the submarine based ballistic missiles (SLBM), were tested on Wednesday, when “Yury Dolgoruky” launhced a Bulava missile from submerged position in the Barents Sea. This was the first operational test launch of Bulava in line with the program of combat training. All previous launches were part of development testing of the new weapon. It is also the first time a Borey-class submarine had a full set of missiles on board when the launch was conducted. The Borey-class submarines carries 16 missiles that each may hold as many as 10 nuclear warheads. “Yury Dolgoruky” got her full set of Bulava missiles in June this year. http://barentsobserver.com/en/security/2014/11/russia-plays-nuclear-war-games-barents-region-01-11
