Nov 30 (Reuters) - Russia will pay special attention to building infrastructure for its nuclear forces in 2023, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Wednesday.

Shoigu said in televised comments that the Russia would also work to improve the combat capabilities of its missile forces and that facilities were being built to accommodate new missile systems. Russia has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, with close to 6,000 warheads.

President Vladimir Putin has placed territory seized by Russia in Ukraine under Moscow's nuclear umbrella, warning that he is ready to defend Russia's "territorial integrity" by all available means. The United States says it has warned Russia over the consequences of any use of nuclear weapons.



It makes me wonder even more if current Russian threats aren't bluff? Perhaps they did a review and found problems?
They also have to redesign their key tank which has a serious design flaw. Replace thousands of tanks, APC's, trucks, artillery, AA missiles, uniforms, combat gear, communications, ECM, literally everything from socks to warships, aircraft even satellites which have clearly been ineffective. Retrain their army from the most senior officers to the sgt's and rethink all the logistics.
They need to do all this without the technology from the West on an economy a fraction of most European countries.

Does anyone seriously think they have the money, time, people and technology to renew the strategic forces in addition to this?

Agreed. Russia is in a very bad dead-end alley right now, unless and until not just regime change happens, but systematic outlook changes.

To be frank, I'm less worried about global thermonuclear war than I am about Russia falling apart and all those nukes being sold to terrorist groups.

Maybe they should ask the AFU for some pointers?

Not learning from history is bad enough. Not learning from your own history is even worse.
The USSR went broke trying to do all that and now they are going to go down the same path.

Not just Russia. Seems to be a global pandemic these days. Maybe the worldwide exposure to electronically simulated reality has fueled an addiction to alternate reality and a blurring of true reality (If it ain't pretty, don't look at it). Suppose RVRS (Runaway Virtual Reality Syndrome) could be the next global pandemic?

PS: Next?? Hey, it's already here, just under the radar.

Looks like someone has a beef with Ukraine.

UPDATE: Six letter bombs have been detected so far. Except the one sent to Ukraine Embassy all other have been intercepted.
- Ukraine Embassy in Spain
- Spanish President
- Spanish Minister of defense
- Instalaza (Spanish company that produces the C90 antitank rockets sent to Ukraine)
- European Union Satellite Centre in the Torrejon de Ardoz military base (provides images to Ukrainian military)
- US Embassy in Spain

Aparently all share similar characteristics wich sugests all have been sent by the same person/group, most probably from Spain.


Article mentions only 5, US embassy discovery is very recent

Hmm... this might provoke Spain to increase its aid to Ukraine. There are still those Leopard 2 tanks in rough storage. I'm sure if donated someone in Western Europe or even Canada could restore them. Rheinmetall Canada's Leopard 2 maintenance and restoration facility in Quebec is something else Rheinmetall Canada delivers first Leopard 2 tanks to Canadian Army

As Greg Boeser said URSS was a corrupt, totalitarian, communist dictatorship. Unfortunately Spanish far left still think Russia is communist and far right admire Putin for what it actually is (corrupt, totalitarian, dictatorship). Ideally we should get rid of both the far left party and the far right party, that will do more for increasing help than any other internal/external thread/provocation
