RUSSIAN MIGHT

There is very little doubt that RS-28 Sarmat (1) as a strategic weapon, is not only unrivaled but also, in a good sense, a complete overkill. But that is the issue, even without Sarmat, the US has zero capability to stop what is known as head-on response (second-strike capability) of Russia. The US dabbling into the ABM technology for the last several decades produced, frankly, very little practical results and is no match for even a very limited second strike.

MARIA GRITSCH —The US government and the corporate media falsely characterize Russia’s special operation as entirely ‘unprovoked’ and an ‘illegal invasion’. These allegations ignore four conditions which each independently compelled President Putin and the Duma to initiate Russia’s denazification and demilitarization operation and which establish this intervention as consistent with international legal norms.

Chief among the factors necessitating Russia’s immediate military response were indications of an imminent new massacre as 125,000 Ukraine forces amassed along the border of Donbass in December of 2021. This was never reported in the US corporate press. 

Back in 1983, the Novator Design Bureau (Sverdlovsk) began the creation of a new anti-ship cruise missile (the Turquoise project). This rocket was first shown in 1993. And it was on this basis that the 3M54 rocket was later created, which became the basis for the Caliber complex.

Many scientists, designers, engineers, technologists are involved in its creation. But there were “intelligent motors” among them – this is the general director, general designer of Novator Pavel Kamenev. He is deservedly – Hero of Labor of Russia and twice laureate of the State Prize.

Among the creators of “Caliber” (or rather, the rocket engine) and the former director of the plant “Saturn” (Rybinsk) Yuri Lastochkin. According to him, Vladimir Putin is also involved in the fate of Caliber.

Pasta and Fiorella engage in a wide-ranging discussion with Kharkov resident Gonzalo Lira about the current situation in Ukraine and the prospects for the near future, as the war seems to be progressing to a conclusion with a victory for Russian arms. Gonzalo states his views about the moral and sociopolitical implosion of the West, and his belief that the multilateral axis headed by Russia, Iran, and China may eventually conquer “the West” (AKA “the US Empire”), still being led to disaster by the warmongering sectors of the American ruling class.

At its source is the power of a single idea, that in this wicked old world of ours there is still an antiseptic and clear division between good and evil. This idea has almost unlimited mileage in this world which was previously ever-rapidly moving toward total cynicism. Like Live Aid in the Eighties, the cause of Ukraine has allowed for a vast upsurge in idealism, a cleansing of the soul by a cathartic anger combined with compassionate grief.
