The little cowardly Neo-Nazi dictator Zelensky wants Trump to kidnap Ramzan Kadyrov.
 
DD Geopolitics (@DD_Geopolitics): “🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky Asks Trump to Kidnap Kadyrov!!! “Let the United States do to Kadyrov what they did to Maduro. Maybe then Putin will see it and think about it,” Zelensky said. “Russia may turn up its nose, but some of Ukraine’s partners could twist it off if they wanted to.” In reference to the abduction of President Maduro, “it was carried out quickly and the whole world saw the result.” He wants the U.S. to run a similar operation against Kadyrov so that Putin would “take notice.”” | nitter.poast.org
 
Kaydrov replies to the little cowards words.
 
“Ramzan Kadyrov responds to Zelensky’s remarks that the U.S. should kidnap him, as it did with Maduro.
 
“The buffoon suggests that the U.S. authorities kidnap me. Note this: he didn’t even threaten to do it himself, as a man would. He didn’t even allow himself to entertain such a thought. Zelya cowardly hinted that he wouldn’t mind standing aside and watching from a safe distance while someone else punishes his offender, the fearsome uncle Ramzan Kadyrov.
 
What hasn’t this devil tried: he’s put me on a wanted list and imposed sanctions. Now he’s asking the Americans for help—saying they didn’t help with weapons, but at least kidnap Ramzan. Zelya, at least try to be a man. You won’t be one—it won’t work—but try. Save face and don’t humiliate yourself. If you had even a drop of manhood, you’d understand how humiliating your words and requests sound, and how clearly they confirm your attempts to sabotage a peaceful settlement. I remind you, Zelya: the enemy may enter our republic, but getting out won’t be possible. Will you risk it yourself, expired one?”

START Treaty
 
If people recall, Trumps term of 2016-2020 saw the end of the INF & Open Skies Treaties, with the START Treaty ready to expire in Feb 2021…
 
Biden had to rush in January, that 30 left of it renew it “as is” in February.
 
Obviously, Trump, as last time, has no intention of extending START.  Therefore, at least for Kremlin/Putin,  and any desire for a more manageable relationship with US is over.
 
The unwillingness to at least agree in averting MAD…. Well,  then all the other issues are rather impotent.

I agree that the elites who rule the west will destroy the world rather than face the loss of their power.  I am fatalistic and think this will happen within the next 30 years.
 
I don’t understand your, and other commenters here on MoA, obsession with nuclear weapons.  The ignorant are stuck in the 1970s.  That’s fifty years ago.
 
You want to understand the current weapons of mass destruction?  Here are a few little tastes of what is out there, in open sources:
 
1.  HAARP as a weapon
2.  HAARP: “High Altitude” research facility in Alaska can use beams to map underground tunnels along the U.S. – Mexico border.  I bet it can be used to map underground structures in China and Russia.
3.  In 2002, Russia labels HAARP a weapon.
4.  Here’s a 2003 article on bioengineered weapons.
 
Nuclear weapons are the least of our worries.  You want to see the future?  Burned out skies.  Poisoned oceans.  Targeted diseases wiping out most of the world’s population.  Survivors hunkered in bunkers.  Just as the Amazon series “Utopia” revealed the plan to use a fake epidemic to fool people into taking gene altering shots, so the current Amazon series “Fallout” reveals the plan of the elites to manufacture a war with China, as they retreat to their bunkers to survive and emerge as rulers of a ruined world.
 
As much fun as I get following the war in Ukraine, I don’t see any way this doesn’t end in global annihilation.  The elites are too evil, too sociopathic, too narcissistic to permit themselves to be defeated.  They will burn the world before that happens.

The American public shocked realization that the military intervention in Vietnam was into a civil war is an enduring theme – “civil war intervention bad / intervention for good reason good” is the heuristic. This messaging by Arestovich could be potent but will need to overcome the scads of messaging that “intervention for good reason good” and “all information from Russia bad.”

Rumours starting to circulate about an Oreshnik strike somewhere in Lviv oblast. Rumours only though, but there definitely are some heavy strikes going on this evening.

Explosions rock Kyiv and Lviv: The enemy writes about the alleged use of the Oreshnik missile

The enemy has colored Ukraine’s entire electronic map red. Ukrainian public groups are reporting that a massive strike is underway against targets on Ukrainian territory. A few hours ago, Kyiv’s Zelenskyy also announced a “high probability of a massive strike.” And if Zelenskyy is aware of the strike, it’s unlikely to be a “decapitating” strike.

What attracts particular attention are the enemy’s statements about the Russian Armed Forces’ alleged preparations to use the Oreshnik IRBM from the Kapustin Yar test site.

 

Ukrainian monitoring groups are reporting explosions in Lviv and the surrounding area. There are reports of Geranium missiles diving on targets. New power supply problems are being reported. The enemy claims that an Oreshnik missile also struck a target in Lviv. Russia has not yet confirmed the use of an Oreshnik missile.

A series of explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital. Impacts were reported on power facilities in Solomenske and other districts of Kyiv, as well as in the Kyiv region. This resulted in power outages, which were already experiencing significant disruptions.

There are reports of incoming strikes on the Kanevskaya hydroelectric power station infrastructure. Several Geraniums were sent there. There are also reports of work Defense In the Cherkasy region, where the hydroelectric power station is located, the Cherkasy region is partially without power.

A Hazel strike on something in Lvov tonight.
 
Colonelcassad
 
 
A flash like lightning is a plasma cocoon formed around the Rubezh hypersonic IRBM unit, R-26, what we began to call Hazel.  As for why he is without explosives, because the piglets are worried. We explain. At a speed above Mach 5-6, the energy reserve in the piece of metal is greater than the energy reserve in the explosive that can be put into this warhead (for such a speed, this is no more than 25-30% of the total mass to withstand overloads). Therefore, it makes no sense to use explosives, plus the creation of a warhead is simplified. The warhead material heats up so much during sharp braking that it partially turns into plasma, from this stored energy. And accordingly, without any explosives, the effect of an explosion is obtained, a fragmentation field of very high-speed drops of material, which act as micro-cumulative jets directed in the direction of flight. And this gives a huge penetrating ability.

HAARP and Oreshnik
 
I gave a few references to the United States’ energy weapon in Alaska known as HAARP earlier (Nobody Special // 17).  It was an early energy weapon, designed in the 1980s and built in the 1990s.  Similar facilities are the PAVE PAWS and AEGIS ASHORE.  I won’t get into the technical details, but they have the ability to send out bendable beams of variable frequencies.  From open sources, we know these beams have near global reach and are immensely powerful.  They can be used to send messages using their tightly focused and bendable beams.  It is theoretically possible to use these beams to ignite massive ground fires.  It is also theoretically possible that these beams could heat the atmosphere to modify the weather.   There are also claims these high powered beams can put enough energy into fault lines to trigger earthquakes.  By altering it’s frequencies, these beams can act as amiable microwaves which will beat the water if a human body.  Since the human body is 70% water, this could cause the water in the human body to boil and explode, like Cuban body guards in Venezuela.  These beams, which can be used to send communications, could be used to insert malicious code into enemy radar receivers and missiles.  
 
All of this poses a threat to enemy missiles.  If an enemy launches an ICBM or IRBM, the U.S. energy weapons can automatically detect and track the launch.  The energy weapon can then insert malicious code into the missile’s computer system causing the missile to malfunction.  The beam weapon could also overheat the missile.
 
How do you counter a weapon such as this?  You need to place some sort of shielding around the missile which keeps electro-magnetic radiation from reaching the missile.   The plasma surrounding hypersonic missiles acts as shield against electro-magnetic radiation.  You would also need to protect the warhead from the energy weapon’s heating power.  You could develop a alloy which is most effective when superheated.  This would turn any attempt by an energy weapon to destroy the warhead back on itself by allowing the energy weapon to pour heat into the warhead, making it even more destructive.
 
A weapon such as the Oreshnik has the exact qualities needed to defeat the massive U.S. fixed site energy weapons.  It might also explain the recent U.S. obsession with Greenland.  The U.S. may have realized the Oreshnik poses a real threat to one of the U.S. super weapons.  The best ways to defeat the Oreshnik may be to base missile interceptors in Greenland to take down the Oreshnik in its boost phase.
 
Attacks on gas fields, underground factories,.or NATO facilities in Lviv is all very interesting, but I suspect those missions are little more than operational tests of weapons with the much more serious mission of countering the U.S. energy weapon of which most people on this site seem to have no awareness.

is the oreshnik missle nuclear capable?
 
AI Overview: Yes, Russia’s Oreshnik (also known as “Hazelnut”) missile is explicitly nuclear-capable, designed to carry nuclear warheads, though it’s also noted for its powerful conventional kinetic strike capability and ability to deliver multiple submunitions, making its exact payload ambiguous in some deployments. Russian officials announced the deployment of these nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles in late 2025, reinforcing its strategic threat.

I’m interested in this^.
There was a very interesting volcano or something explosion on an uninhabited Tongan island some years back.
Here is not the thread to trawl through all the anomalies and curiosities of that event.
It happened around Christmas time and slipped through the notice of media in Southern Hemisphere, what with Boxing Day sales, Sydney to Hobart yacht race, and the Boxing Day cricket. Too much happening for our media to digest.
Also Tonga. Brown people so, so what. And the island was uninhabited.
I was agnostic on whether it could be an energy weapon experiment as some claimed, and showed some evidence for.
What convinced me was the vitriolic vehemence with which the energy weapon hypothesis was condemned.
I’m always looking to learn more about that event in Tonga…..
What further convinced me was the rapidity with which data was scrubbed from the internet..

Trump’s insanity in Venezuela and in pirating Russian flagged empty tankers has provided cover for the use of Oreshnik.
 
Still no pictures of Yuzmash – calling Jeremy Rhymings-Lang. The narrative that Russians are power drunk crazy people may allow something of the destructive power of Oreshnik to bubble to the surface – maybe enough to show that tripwire NATO bases are obsolete – even if they are deep underground.

Definitely..oreshnik  
 

The flash, like a lightning bolt, is a plasma cocoon that forms around the hypersonic warhead of the Rubezh missile, R-26, which we have come to call “Oreshnik” .
 
As to why it doesn’t use explosives, because the pigkrainians are worried about this…
 
Let me explain.
 
At speeds above Mach 5-6, the energy potential in the warhead is greater than the energy potential of the explosives that could be stuffed into this warhead (for such speeds, it’s no more than 25-30% of the total mass to withstand the overloads). Therefore, there’s no point in using explosives, and it simplifies the creation of the warhead. The warhead material heats up so much during a sudden stop that it partially turns into plasma from the stored away energy. So without any explosives, an explosive effect is achieved, a fragmentation field of very high-speed droplets of material, which act as micro-cumulative jets directed in their flight direction, giving the whole thing a huge penetrating ability.

Personally, I never understood the notion that Ukraine can fight longer than Russia because this is how I see the war becoming a frozen conflict – when Russia no longer considers waging the war will lead to a positive outcome and with Ukraine being able to continue the war. I mean, Ukraine has less population, smaller army, smaller capability to mobilize, less military production. I also do not understand why people put the most weight on the attacker when it comes to attrition when, frankly, it seems that both sides have been hit as hard.

The US and its NATO puppies have already lost, their masters are just too stuoid and greedy to compromise yet. If the West will not make a real peace, Ukraine will be swallowed more or less.

We live in an age where images are easily fabricated.  But if those images of a 6-strike from an Oreshnik are real, then there is something interesting about them — no secondary explosions, no massive fires from gas releases, etc.  That would suggest the target was a deep bunker.  Maybe more NATO guys are going to have unfortunate fatal skiing accidents?  It is winter time, after all.
