Russian Citizens Are Now Being Prepped for Nuclear War

Neato.

In short, Putin is demanding that NATO stay out of former Soviet vassal states like Ukraine and Lithuania,  because he wants a buffer. But what buffer do those states have against the Russian military? Perhaps a good compromise would be if NATO stays out of the Soviet states while the Russian military pulls back behind the Urals.

Russian state propaganda somehow feels that Ukraine or Poland being secure is a threat to Russia. Why that would be is not clear. Does Putin think that Estonia is going to suddenly start baying for Russian blood and then sweep across the border? Will Latvian special forces take Moscow?

So, now Russian propagandists are promising to nuke American and European cities if former slave states cozy up to the West. Doesn’t seem a particularly effective way to calm everyone down to the point that Ukraine and the like no longer have a desire to have military backup, but maybe that’s just me.

I’m just glad we have such competent, on-the-ball leadership in Washington.

Who did this sound like a good idea to?

Biden gave Putin a list of high-priority targets for Russian hackers to take down. How did *anyone* think that was a good idea?

1: It comes off as weakness: “Please don’t attack us!” Thus inviting attack.

2: A list of stuff Biden thinks shoudl be off limits not only points out vulnerabilities, it’s the wrong frikken’ message. Instead of “please don’t attack these,” which implies that it’s ok to attack *other* entities, the message should be “we will respond in a way that seems good to us. Remember that you hare highly economically dependent upon things like pipelines. It sure would be a shame if the software controlling your pipelines causes an explosion. Again.”

‘This could explode’ Boris urged to take a stand as Putin invasion sparks panic in Europe

’s defence minister Andrii Taran yesterday claiming 110,000 Russian troops were currently deployed at the borders. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry subsequently claimed Russia’s FSB security service briefly detained a Ukrainian diplomat in St Petersburg yesterday. … Mr Taran also suggested Russia’s President Vladimir Putin was poised to move nuclear weapons into Crimea

Well, at least we have a strong, virile and determined leader who is sharp as a tack to deal with these difficult challenges.

US Space Force: this, right here

For those wondering why a “Space Force” might be necessary, behold:

A Russian “Inspector” Spacecraft Now Appears To Be Shadowing An American Spy Satellite

The “shadowing” is a little distant, varying from 150 to 300 kilometers. But the message is pretty clear. Since satellites can be observed from the ground (certainly with better resolution than from other satellites at 150 km range), the purpose of such a satellite is clearly intimidation. Either it can destroy the US satellite, or it is supposed to give the impression that it can do so. The US Space Force *should* eventually be able to do something about that, rather than just watch helplessly as the US is currently doing. The USSF will, hopefully, eventually be able to send inspectors of its own to rendezvous with the foreign inspectors and shadow *them,* preferably at a range of a few meters. The USSF will eventually have rapid responsive launch capabilities to not only send inspectors, interceptors and defensive craft, but also replacements and reinforcements.Refueling and orbital tugs. Orbital Banksies that can tag opponent satellites with something as simple and effective as spray paint… which will do wonders for optics, PV array and thermal balance.
