Russia Friend or Foe? - Revisited - Part XVI
"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." I Thessalonians 5:3
This post shows that Russia is not our friend but an enemy to the United States of America and is planning a future attack on this nation.
4. Russia Friend or Foe?
o) Another article titled “Russia May Need To Expand And Upgrade Its Nuclear Arsenal To Counter The West, Diplomat(Note 34) says”
“Russia may need to expand and upgrade its nuclear arsenal, already the world's largest, to counter the threat it faces from the West, a Russian diplomat said in an article published on Thursday. ’In the emerging realities, it is no longer possible to talk about strategic (nuclear) stability in its classical bilateral context,’ Russian Ambassador-at- Large Grigory Mashkov told International Affairs, a Russian journal. He said an arms race was underway and that there were now various countries developing missile technology.
Arms race?
‘It is possible that in the current conditions of confrontation with the West with its open policy of inflicting strategic damage on Russia, we may face the question of moving away from limiting nuclear and missile arsenals in favor of their quantitative and qualitative increase,’ Mashkov said. His statements come after Moscow updated its nuclear doctrine to state that any perceived attack on the country aided by a country with nuclear power is considered to be a joint attack on Russia.”
p) Another article titled “Russia's Putin Launches Nuclear-Powered Submarine”(Note 35) says
“On Thursday, President Vladimir Putin launched a nuclear-powered submarine equipped with hypersonic Zircon missiles capable of traveling at several times the speed of sound. Russian news agencies, referring to a video link from the Arctic port of Murmansk, said Putin launched the vessel, named Perm after a city in the Urals, with the order: ‘I hereby authorize!’ The Russian agencies, quoting documents associated with the launch, said the Perm is the first nuclear-powered submarine to be equipped with Zircon missiles as a standard feature. Zircon missiles have a range of 900 km (560 miles), and their speed renders them very difficult to defend against. The Perm is the sixth submarine in Russia's Yasen and Yasen-M classes, built by the Sevmash shipyard near Murmansk.”
