Which implies that nobody should post anything from any outlet which is marked Mixed --- which excludes the majority of the mainstream outlets currently -- leaving maybe Reuters and AP plus a few others. When an article from a mainstream source includes links and sources to support their contentions --- and the article acts as a summary of the sources then I will certainly post it. If you don't want to believe the content of the article after reviewing the sources then it is up to you. Note that I don't post nonsense from low quality disreputable social media posts and blogs which regularly push misinformation -- unless outlining it as misinformation (e.g. fact checks). As a reminder there are many reputable sources reporting Putin's train to the Ukraine and his submarine at sea with nuclear torpedoes. For example - explain to us what is wrong with the high-quality source reference in the previously posted articles. Putin ‘orders nuclear military train to Ukraine’ https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/...ilitary-train-to-ukraine-front-line-tswzv2v50
Thesun & the dailymail are cashier line tabloids and not on par w/mainstream "mixed" sources. If you are able to source the original article, why do you continue to push them? That's rhetorical of course, we know you want to push the sensationalized fake news headline. And yes, we know Putin's making a public display of moving around tactical nuclear assets sacrificing first strike advantage and compromising their location.
Good luck with your assertions. If this is your contention -- maybe you need to take a look at the stuff and sources you post. Maybe I should spend my time outlining the quality of your sources and the sensational headlines & commentary you use.
you should, as my sources are the majority of the time above reproach. "My" sensationalized headline and commentary are an entirely different topic but we know how you like to obfuscate things.
Ukraine has world’s attention but look around, 2 new flashpoints emerging for US-Russia clash The Caucasus and the Balkans might witness further militarisation by Russia to hold on to its weaning influence, thereby raising stakes in the already tense environment. https://theprint.in/opinion/ukraine...hpoints-emerging-for-us-russia-clash/1157792/
Nobody wants to be allied with Russia anymore -- it is a dead-end path. It's alliances are quickly falling apart. Russian ally cancels Russian-led military drill on its land https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...an-led-military-drill-on-its-land/ar-AA12M2Ok The Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan on Sunday unilaterally cancelled joint military drills between the six nations making up the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization, less than a day before they were due to start on its territory. The Kyrgyz defense ministry did not specify the reason for cancelling the “Indestructible Brotherhood-2022” command and staff exercises, which were set to be held in the country’s windswept eastern highlands Monday to Friday. According to earlier reports, the exercises were set to involve army personnel from CSTO members Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and focus on securing ceasefires. Observers from five further states, including Serbia, Syria and Uzbekistan, had also been invited. The move by Bishkek is the latest indication that tensions may be simmering within the alliance, formed in the early 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Last month, Armenia skipped a two-week drill held by the collective in Kazakhstan, after criticizing the bloc for failing to openly side with it after large-scale fighting erupted on its border with non-member Azerbaijan in September. Russia and other CSTO countries effectively turned down Yerevan’s request for military aid, issued hours after hostilities began, and limited their response to sending fact-finding missions to the border. Armenian authorities had accused the Azerbaijani government in Baku of using heavy artillery and combat drones to strike Armenian army positions. Despite its apparent ambitions to provide a counterpart to NATO, the CSTO has at times struggled to define its exact purpose. Failure to engage in numerous security crises among its members over the years has prompted analysts to question its viability. Last spring, the bloc looked on impassively as two members, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, were engaged in a bloody border dispute. The CSTO’s focus has instead been aimed more intensely on enhancing readiness for potential spillover from Afghanistan, which shares a long border with Tajikistan. As of last month, Russia had around 5,000 troops stationed in that country, down from 7,000 in January as the Kremlin has drawn down its military presence to replenish its ranks in Ukraine amid the eight-month war.
Vladimir Putin tried to detonate nuke but his plans were 'sabotaged', insider claims As the world fears Vladimir Putin could fire nuclear weapons on Ukraine, it is claimed that the Russian President is facing disruptions with his atomic weapon plans due to 'sabotage' or technical issues https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/vladimir-putin-tried-detonate-nuke-28286762 Vladimir Putin's tried to detonate a nuke but his plans were "sabotaged", an insider has claimed. Top brass at the Kremlin are “sabotaging” his plans to use atomic weapons or there may be issues due to technical failures, it is claimed. In recent days, there have been a series of NOTAM messages (Notice to air missions) and linked Russian navigation warnings indicating tests or live firing drills. So far, there has been few indications of any major testing, although the final date for such disruption in the Barents Sea is October 22. At the same time there are claims that earlier this month Putin ordered two nuclear missile tests which did not in fact take place. Valery Solovey, an expert on the president and former professor at Moscow’s prestigious Institute of International Relations [MGIMO], a training school for spies and diplomats said: “[Putin’s] decision on the use of tactical nuclear weapons [in the Ukraine conflict] would no doubt face resistance. “I don't know how effective the resistance will be but I will indicate [that] nuclear tests were supposed to be held over the past two weeks, one in the Barents sea, underwater, and the second underground, in Arkhangelsk region. “Both times the tests were not held.” He alleged: “The reason is that before the launch, or more accurately, before the use of tactical nuclear weapons, it is necessary to make sure these weapons are fully operable… “They had to be tested.” But both times the potentially dangerous were “disrupted”. “The president got reports that there was an emergency situation, that it didn't work out” - implying technical failings. Putin insisted that the tests are held in the future, said Sololvey. He has also claimed the Kremlin leader has made a decision in principle to use nuclear weapons. He added: “But the thing is, once is an accident, twice is a coincidence. “But…if the third time tests end the same way, with nothing, [it will look like] sabotage…not fulfilling….the orders of the chief commander….” This would show the "dissolution of [Putin’s] authority, of Russia's executive power”. Earlier this month, it was reported that Nato had sent an intelligence note to its member countries warning that Putin had deployed his K-329 Belgorod nuclear submarine, carrier of apocalypse underwater drone Poseidon. The Russian weapon is a giant nuclear-capable torpedo causing radioactive tsunamis laying waste to enemy coastlines. Dmitry Kiselyov, a Russian TV propagandist, told viewers that Russia should “plunge Britain into the depths of the sea” with its “underwater robotic drone Poseidon” causing a 1,640ft tsunami. Details of its unique high speed 125 mph underwater propulsion system have been closely guarded as a Russian secret. Yet there have been no indications of a test launch so far.
