 Germany draws up list of bunkers amid Russia tensions: App planned for public to find emergency shelter in places including underground train stations and car parks

The country of 84 million people has 579 bunkers, mostly from the second world war and the cold war era, which can provide shelter for 480,000 people, down from about 2,000 bunkers previously.

Maybe try Schlachthof Fünf.

 

 

The War Between The States never ended

 

Putin says medium range ballistic missile was used against Ukraine, not ICBM, but still nuclear capable

 Quoted here:

“In response to the use of American and British long-range weapons, on Nov 21 of this year, the Russian armed forces launched a combined strike on one of the facilities of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine.

“In combat conditions, one of the newest Russian medium-range missile systems was tested, among other things. In this case, with a ballistic missile in a nuclear-free hypersonic equipment.”

Putin uses ICBM for first time to attack Ukraine, signaling how the war could go nuclear

 The attack comes two days after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a revised nuclear doctrine that formally lowers the threshold for the country’s use of nuclear weapons. Ukraine on Tuesday fired several American-supplied longer-range missiles and reportedly fired U.K.-made Storm Shadows on Wednesday into Russia. ...

The developments come as the war has taken on a growing international dimension with the arrival of North Korean troops to help Russia on the battlefield — a development that U.S. officials said prompted U.S. President Joe Biden’s policy shift on allowing Ukraine to fire longer-range U.S. missiles into Russia. The Kremlin responded with threats to escalate further.

Neocon Trump is alive and well JD, lol

WaPo, May 28, 2024, here:

 . . . at one event, he suggested that he would have bombed Moscow and Beijing if Russia invaded Ukraine or China invaded Taiwan, surprising some of the donors.

Biden to George Stephanopoulos: I'm the guy that put NATO together, I'm the guy that shut Putin down

 Joe was 6 when NATO was founded.

Putin is still in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, and we're still spending billion$ to stop him.

British conservatives are still blind to Nigel Farage's truth, which is identical with Henry Kissinger's long-held position that Ukraine should not join NATO

 Western civilisation is being destroyed by its own decadence

Zoe Strimpel, UK Telegraph

Last week, Nigel Farage outed himself as deeply unfit for leadership by piping the same line as other populists in Europe and the United States: that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is effectively our fault because, through Nato expansion, we had “poked” the Russian bear . . ..

Henry Kissinger was US Secretary of State under Nixon and Ford.

This position has nothing to do with populism, except by the accident of thinking correctly.

New video clearly shows Russian beach was not targeted and was collateral damage after Russian defenses downed Ukrainian missile

Russia warns the U.S. to brace for retaliation after Kremlin blamed Washington for missile attack that killed four in Crimea

 

Ukraine didn't target the beach in Crimea where Russians were collateral damage of Russian defense operations

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Video shows panicked beachgoers fleeing from falling shrapnel after Russian air defense intercepted the U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles.

Don't sun on the beach in a war zone, unless you enjoy that sort of thing.

Hilarious: Biden signs "10-year" security pact with Ukraine for which there are not 67 votes in the US Senate

Will either Joe Biden or this deal survive even 10 months?

 

Yeah, remember when Trump withheld Ukraine aid and everybody just pretended not to see, just like with Joe Biden in March 2016 and again now?

 

Biden stopped an ammo shipment to Israel last week to pressure Israel against invading Rafah, repeating his illegality from March 2016 when he withheld a Congressional appropriation from Ukraine

 Axios reported yesterday here, just as Hamas was launching new rocket attacks on Israel.

American utilities have used the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war to price gouge the consumer for natural gas

American utilities have used the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war to price gouge the consumer. 

Natural gas prices have nosedived 73% since 3Q2022 but utility prices stopped declining a year ago and are down just 14% from peak.

Utility gas actually increased in 4Q2023 and again in 1Q2024.

Look at all that air under the red line.  First time that's happened in decades.

People should be MAKING A STINK!

 

The $60.8 billion Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act passed yesterday 311-112-1-7, all the Nay votes being Republicans

 The roll call vote is here.

Just a hypothetical here: $60.8 billion / $1.3 billion per night of Russian air assaults (compare Iran attack on Israel) = 46 nights.

The world simply stood by as Stalin killed Ukrainians and is basically doing the same now while Putin systematically turns the country into a pile of rubble

 Nothing has changed.

Put that in your human progress pipe and smoke it.

Zelensky rages at West for 'turning blind eye' on war as Russia advances...

We have the Napoleon wannabe in Paris, Emmanuel Macron, threatening to send in NATO troops, to thank for Putin's explicit threat to use nuclear weapons

 Vladimir Putin warns of wider conflict over Ukraine

 Russian president makes most explicit threat to use nuclear weapons since full-scale invasion:

Referring to French President Emmanuel Macron’s refusal to rule out sending western troops to Ukraine this week, Putin said Russia remembered “the fate of those who once sent their contingents to our country. “Now the consequences for possible interveners will be much more tragic,” he added. “We also have weapons that can strike targets on their territory.”

CNBC similarly here:

The comments appeared to be a direct response to French President Emmanuel Macron’s suggestion earlier this week that European heads of state and Western officials, who had met in Paris on Monday, had talked about the possibility of sending ground troops into Ukraine.

The French leader on Monday said there was no consensus on the idea, but that it had not been “ruled out.”

The comments have since sent NATO countries scrambling to deny they’d send troops into Ukraine, with Russia warning that such a deployment would prompt an “inevitable” Russia-NATO conflict.

UKRAINE DESTROYS RUSSIAN WARSHIP
 

Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko agrees with Ukraine's military commander in chief General Valerii Zaluzhnyi against Zelensky that the war with Russia is at a stalemate

 But despite his litany of grievances, the mayor stopped short of calling for Zelensky’s immediate ouster. “The president has an important function today, and we have to support him until the end of the war,” Klitschko said. “But at the end of this war, every politician will pay for his successes or failures.”
