  2. CAN HIT TARGET ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD - The Russian Defense Ministry demonstrates loading the mammoth Yars intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into a silo launcher, showcasing the power of Moscow's nuclear deterrence. The Yars complex uses the Glonass guidance system (Russia's alternative to GPS.) Yars can be armed with up to 10 missiles, each containing a thermonuclear warhead weighing 300 kilotons. It can manoeuvre during flight which gives Yars an advantage against modern missile defence systems. - Intel Republic

  4. US Presidential Elections + Israeli Strikes Demonstrates Limits of Western Military Might US presidential elections have little consequence because the actual special interests driving foreign policy remain in power; US military power around the globe is in decline, meaning that withdrawal from conflicts is more a matter of physical limits than a waning desire for global primacy; Iran has developed a ballistic missile force and asymmetrical military power capable of checking US-Israeli military power in the region; Just as the US has used Ukraine to fight a deadly proxy war against Russia, it seeks to use Israel to wage proxy war against Iran; Because Israel possesses nuclear weapons, the danger of US proxy war in the Middle East is more dangerous, and as US desperation outgrows a sense of consequences for its actions, the danger increases even more; - The New Atlas

  5. America now has a chance for renewal if Trump doesn’t blow it in forgiving his enemies, who still intend to destroy him. The Democrat Party is no longer a political party. It is an ideological party with ideological agendas. It sees itself as a revolutionary force and has no intention of political comprise. If Trump repeats the mistakes of his first term, his victory will be pissed away. - LewRockwell

  6. Liberalism in the West has devolved into an aggressive and intolerant ideology in which freedom, democracy, and human rights take a back seat to power, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said. His remarks were part of a keynote address at the 21st annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi on Thursday. “Today's Western liberalism, in my opinion, has degenerated into extreme intolerance and aggression towards any alternative, towards any sovereign and independent thought, and now justifies neo-Nazism, terrorism, racism and even mass genocide of the civilian population,” Putin said. - RT

  8. "COLOR REVOLUTIONS ARE TO EXTORT CAPITAL" - Shoigu, Head of Security Council of Russia. At the fall of the USSR, Ukraine had a population of 50 million people, (now estimated at barely 20 mil) and being rich in resources it had every chance to prosper. The current situation in the war zone is not in favor of the Kiev regime, so the West faces a choice - to continue the destruction of the Ukrainian population or to start negotiating. ▪The purpose of the Kursk incursion is to gain control of the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant. ❗ ▪The Kiev authorities, at the instigation of the West, have turned into a terrorist state controlled from outside. ▪The plan to use Ukraine as a weapon to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia has failed, but its consequences will be felt for a long time. - Intel Republic

"MOMENT OF TRUTH IS COMING" - PUTIN ON FUTURE OF ALL HUMANITY: Russian explains that "completely new world order being formed before our eyes" and globe heading down path that will decide if countries can build fair and equal multipolar world or remain in vicious grasp of West’s rules-based order: The old world order is irrevocably disappearing, one might say, has already disappeared, and a serious, irreconcilable struggle is unfolding for the formation of a new one. Irreconcilable, first of all, because this is not even a fight for power or geopolitical influence, this is a clash of the very principles on which relations between countries and peoples will be built at the next historical stage - Putin. Russian leader takes center stage at this year’s Valdai Discussion Club, international forum where top leaders and minds gather to discuss globe's most pressing issues. - Intel Republic

  10. RUSSIA DOING ALL IT CAN TO PROTECT KAZAKHSTAN FROM UNRULY U.S. SANCTIONS: FM Lavrov. We have practical questions about how to develop economic relations with Kazakhstan in order to protect them from U.S. sanctions. The solutions that our colleagues find help to increase trade turnover so that enterprises in both countries are able to profit - Lavrov. Neighborly countries that have traded together for centuries - must now be aware of Uncle Sam's iron rod of sanctions. Because, democracy! - Intel Republic

  11. The Russian government places little value on media speculation about how US President-elect Donald Trump intends to end the Ukraine conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday. Moscow will not accept any outcome that freezes the Ukraine conflict instead of resolving the core causes of the hostilities, Russian officials have stressed. These include the pledge by NATO to eventually welcome Ukraine into its ranks, Kiev’s discriminatory policies against ethnic Russians, and the influence of radical nationalists in the country, as described by Moscow. - RT
