Andrei Martyanov, whose track record has been very good for more than a decade, believes Russia is going to strike Europe, specifically Germany, soon in retaliation for manufacturing the drones used by Ukraine to attack Russian territory.
Now, per strikes–all indicators are that Russia will strike Europe. Russia doesn’t need to use nukes because she has more than enough conventional means for both destruction of a critical industrial infrastructure involved in support of 404 and, if it comes down to it, decapitating governments of hostile countries.
Russia has enough conventional means to strike at any facility in Europe and the US IS NOT coming for a simple reason–it has no resources. Demilitarizing NATO was one of the key strategic aims of the Special Military Operation once it became clear that the US sabotaged Istanbul talks and Iran has demonstrated it fully. Who will be hit first? Yeah, I am inclined to see Germany “getting the message”–it is long overdue.
And Russia will be perfectly justified in attacking any of the belligerent parties. It would be very difficult for the leaders of the EU, the UK, Germany, and even Switzerland to have more incompetently mishandled their various relations with Russia in futile attempts to appease Clown World and keep the US military in Europe. All they had to do was stay neutral and keep out of what was never any of their business in the first place.
Their collective lunacy is only exceeded by that of Finland and Sweden, who were perfectly safe as neutral parties, but have now unnecessarily painted targets on their national chests by joining NATO and declaring themselves enemy of the Russian Federation.
And now, ironically, they all find themselves falling afoul of both the USA and China as well. The last four years have been marked by some of the most incompetent national diplomacy in the history of international relations.
One response to “All Indicators”
Russia’s first target should be City of London (financial/business district), as distinguished from London.
Russia’s ‘Oreshnik missile’ system is designed to specifically take out strategic targets in Europe without the associated ‘nuclear collateral damage’ from canned sunshine. These hypersonic mini rods from God can turn any target into literal dust with precision accuracy and not destroy an entire city doing so–as seen with a strike on a Ukrainian missile factory in 2024, turning the complex into literal toothpicks and penetrating a deep bunker complex there into literal rubble. Ditto with a deep underground Ukrainian command and control bunker that got zotzed–200 feet or more deep. I would expect Russia to use this system to knock out a series of critical European targets that have been supplying the Ukrainian war effort. Russia has since then began deploying multiple batteries of these mobile launchers all over Russia. A directed salvo of these missile would only give NATO/European military Mo-Mo’s only a few minutes to think and react. It comes as no surprise now that Trump is drawing down forces in Germany and cancelling troop deployments to Poland. A full scale attack by Russia, just with Oreshnik missiles could successfully cripple nearly all of NATO’s strategic military capabilities in one blow–envision a ‘super Pearl Harbor’ if you will.
