Putin Aide Reveals Russia's World War 3 Targets In West View xideo here

Putin breaks nuclear taboo In his solemn address last Thursday, the Russian president threatened countries that help Ukraine with nuclear retaliation. In this respect, an extract from Vladimir Putin's speech about the new Russian doctrine is particularly illuminating: “In response to the use of American and British long-range weapons, on November 21 this year the Russian armed forces launched a combined strike on one of the objects of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex. One of Russia's latest medium-range missile systems was tested under combat conditions, in this case with a ballistic missile fitted with non-nuclear hypersonic equipment. Our rocket specialists call it the “Oreshnik”. The tests were successful, and the launch target was reached. On the territory of Ukraine, in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, one of the largest industrial complexes known since the days of the Soviet Union was hit, which is still producing missile and other weapons technology today.” And Putin put on the pressure and threatens: “We will determine the targets to be destroyed in subsequent tests of our new missile systems, based on threats to the security of the Russian Federation. We consider that we have the right to use our weapons against military targets in countries that allow their weapons to be used against our targets, and in the event of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will react just as decisively and in the same way.

Russia's automated nuclear retaliation system What's the "Dead Hand," Russia's last resort system if Putin and his top officials are killed? It's an automated defense system that guarantees nuclear retaliation even in the absence of the Russian leadership, designed to ensure the survival of the state in the event of a devastating attack. It's also an automated defense mechanism that allows Russia to respond to a nuclear attack even in the absence of its president or military leaders. Developed during the Cold War under the name "Perimeter," the system has been the subject of speculation and mystery, particularly after the fall of the Soviet Union and its continued existence in today's Russia. The creation of this system was in response to the possibility that a US nuclear first strike would disintegrate the USSR's chain of command, leaving Russia vulnerable. Perimeter was designed to automatically launch intercontinental ballistic missiles, without human intervention, if the country was confirmed to have suffered a devastating nuclear attack. Although Moscow has never officially confirmed its existence, in 2011, the commander of Russia's Strategic Missile Forces, Sergey Karakaev, acknowledged its operation to the daily Komsomolskaya Pravda, claiming that Russia could destroy the United States in less than 30 minutes.

Russia's economy on the brink as the 'market is dead' and prices soar Russia's economy is showing increasing signs of strain more than two years on from Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, with one insider gloomily admitting: "The market is dead". Prices for essentials such as milk, potatoes, and butter are soaring, hitting ordinary Russians hard, according to a report produced by Western-aligned Russian broadcaster Current Time. So serious is the situation becoming that retailers are even having to tighten up resorting security to combat shoplifting, while surging mortgage rates have caused a collapse in new apartment sales. Such issues reflect deeper economic turbulence, with the Central Bank battling to curb inflation as the costs of war and sanctions mount. The once-resilient economy, previously buoyed by wartime production and government spending, now faces stark challenges. Read more here

Sorry Pete. not quite.

No need to be rude. Oh, that's the catchphrase. That's correct. CP228.mp4

Five out of six train models in the Victorian metropolitan fleet will not fit in the Metro Tunnel due to enter service next year. They had to build a new fleet of trains especially for the tunnel, and the two lines (north and south) that will use the tunnel. Those lines will not run through the city loop. Labor claims that is world's best practice.

Read five reports on reactions to Trump's election (skip the one in the middle about Clinton's visit to a Swifties concert). Read reports here.

An endless subroutine loop.

Nev, you seem to know it all. Why don't you run for parliament and save us all?

Every government, no matter what flavour, blames the previous government for what is wrong, for the life of their tenure. And when in opposition, they try to block everything the government tries to do. That's why they are called "The Opposition".

Martry is correct.

Correct onetrack.

It's not like they are banning it up to the age of 21. But there are some kids who have access who are barely out of nappies. They believe everything they see on the screen. Kids under sixteen who commit crimes like housebreaking and car stealing, and they go through a revolving door in the courts, only to do it again and again. But, OH! Good heavens, we can't punish them, their just kids. They are too young to know that they are ruining their lives -won't be able to get a job, won't be admitted to other countries if they want to travel. They have to be taught what is good for them and what is not. Ten minutes in the naughty corner doesn't cut it. The same with access to social media before they are 16. They are not mature enough to know right from wrong. This is where they get a lot of their misdeeds from.

Yes, Donald Trump Appeared To Make A Joke About Serving A Third Term As President, And People Are Reacting How You Would Expect During a recent meeting with House Republicans, President-elect Donald Trump made a comment about serving a third term — an action outlawed by the US Constitution. He said: "I suspect I won't be running again unless you [House Republicans] say, 'He's so good, we've got to figure something else out.'" The comment was met with laughter by those in the room. Then, when speaking to MSNBC, former Trump White House press aide Sarah Matthews added that "maybe there is a chance that he means it. But I highly doubt it,” she said. “But I do think that it is weird to joke about.” It's hard for some online to take Trump's words as a joke, though — especially following previous moments like when he asked, "After America has been made GREAT again and I leave the beautiful White House (do you think the people would demand that I stay longer? KEEP AMERICA GREAT)." Likewise, when given the chance to assure the American people that he would not act like a dictator, Trump responded by saying, ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’” So you can imagine how some reacted when news of him joking about a third term hit people's timelines. "He's talked about this before," one person reminded others, speaking of when Trump sparked concern over future voting rules when speaking at the Believers' Summit. The former president told audience members at the time: “Christians, get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore, you know what? Four more years, it’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.” "This is what he always does," another said. "He floats an idea in the air, then slowly starts repeating until you're used to hearing it, so when he eventually does it, you're expecting it." "The thing about Trump 'joking' about running again in 2028 is that 1) he likes to test the water," another person agreed. Regardless of whether he was joking, many suggested Trump needed reminding that "there's a 2 term limit on the presidency"... ...as well as the fact that the Constitution holds this limit firm.

'Trump 1.0' Staffer Spells Out What Awaits Second Term Team: 'Not Going To Lie To You' Olivia Troye, who served as an adviser to then-Vice President Mike Pence during Donald Trump’s first term, has published a survival guide for those who will staff the White House upon Trump’s return to the Oval Office. In the latest issue of Troye’s email newsletter “We Lived It,” the now fierce Trump critic acknowledged the excitement that “probably super-MAGA” incoming staffers will have, just like she did during “Trump 1.0,” about working for the current president-elect. But she warned they will at some point “bear witness to something that changes your mind” that will let them “see Trump for who and what he truly is.” She then offered advice on how to deal with the “quandary” — from remembering who they serve to expecting the unexpected and being brave. Troye also issued further strategies for women working in the Trump White House who will face “an extra set of challenges,” she wrote, amid what she described as its “chauvinisticmale-dominated culture.” “I’m not going to lie to you. No matter who you are, you are entering a hostile environment,” she wrote. “I was fortunate—Mike Pence was a decent, respectful island in Trump’s sea of contempt. It will be much, much worse this time.” Read the full email here

Just watched the first episode. It was so-so. Graham Norton is no Pat Sajak, and the prizes are a lot less.

Here's something really random. Can you imagine a TV program, promoted as an Australian version, filmed in the UK with a Welsh comedian as host? The show, Australian Wheel of Fortune, is hosted by Graham Norton, and aired on Channel 10. The Australian bit is that all contestants are ex-pat Aussies living in the UK. Jerry, are you there?

Trump’s ‘Border Czar’ Makes Big Promise if States Don’t Cooperate President-elect Donald Trump’s “border czar” nominee Tom Homan guaranteed to slash federal funding to states who don’t work with his new immigration policies while admitting he has received death threats. Homan appeared on Mark Levin’s show, Life, Liberty and Levin, on Sunday for an interview discussing the “border crisis.” Levin, a Trump supporter, told Homan he has a “powerful weapon” to use against governors–notably from sanctuary cities–who refuse to cooperate with the Trump administrations plans. “If you have a governor who says, ‘I’m not going to cooperate'...then federal funds should be slashed to that state, and I mean hugely so, so that the people of that state understand that the governor is the responsible party,” Levin said. Homan replied in the positive. “And that’s going to happen,. Guaranteed, President Trump is going to do that,” he said. Homan then claimed he was “being attacked” and that his family had been forced to move out of his home. “This administration has turned this world upside down, so now I’m being attacked,” Homan said. “I got death threats, my family’s not even living in my home right now,” he continued, without adding further context. “You can hate Trump all you want, but you gotta love your community more than you hate President Trump,” Homan said. Last week, Homan warned Democratic governors who pushed back on Fox and Friends, to “get the hell out of the way” and “don’t cross that line.”

Trump’s counter terror pick Sebastian Gorka is a ‘conman’ who needs FBI background check, Bolton says When Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton appeared on CNN Friday night, he didn’t hold back when commenting on Trump’s pick for his counterterrorism director. “Sebastian Gorka is a con man,” Bolton told host Kaitlan Collins. “He needs a full-field FBI background investigation about his educational claims and things like that,” he added. “I think he is a perfect example of somebody who owes his position purely to Donald Trump, he doesn’t display loyalty, he displays fealty, and that’s what Trump wants.” Boltson said Trump “doesn’t want Gorka’s opinions.” “He wants Gorka to say, ‘Yes, sir,’ and I am fully confident that’s exactly what will happen, no matter what it is Trump says,” Bolton argued. To hear Trump put it, Gorka has been a “tireless advocate for the America First Agenda and the MAGA Movement” since 2015, according to the president-elect’s announcement on Friday. Read more here.
