Russia will stage 'unwelcome' live-fire naval drills off coast of Ireland
Also seen in the area:
Russian sub-tender ship. Ship houses small manned subs suspected of cutting undersea cables to degrading Norwegian defense capabilities.
The main communication cables that link North America to Europe run through Irish waters and is the shallowest place to access them in international waters.
Between this and Russian cyberwarfare capabilities, I would expect a high likelihood of internet outages when the Russians finally decide to pull the trigger.

Blinkers called china for support on Ukraine.
Instead Chinese FM told him to his face that the US needs to stop undermining the Olympics and that US has not changed anything from Trump administration
Reads cnn
You shouldn't laugh at anybody when you read @DaiWeiwei10, tbh...
Nah dude probably didn't know about the fact that the army can't actually use their guns on American soil (bases withstanding). Like people out there thinking abbot sent troops down there with their guns and , and those guys are doing nothing of value, everyone's time is wasted on a messaging operation. I believe for army to be allowed to use their weapons martial law has to be declared, that's why Mike Flynn's coup plans always involved declaring martial law first, it's the only way that is allowed and he knew it.
Got damns
(CNN)A call between US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday "did not go well," a senior Ukrainian official told CNN, amid disagreements over the "risk levels" of a Russian attack.
I really hope I am wrong. So many indicators of genuine military preparation are popping up, and that all adds up to a pretty clear indication of intent. Biden of course has access to all sorts of extra information that US technical intelligence can provide, which is more information than you or I have access to.

You cite rando Twitter more than anyone.
if germany/france/uk aint doin ...why should america and its allies bother sending troops to fight their war...its not like russia has a pipeline to usa
I think when push comes to shove the European Union is all bark and no bite. I don’t think Russia will invade but I do know they will never allow Ukraine to join NATO as they want a buffer from NATO countries. As far as we are concerned we should take a back seat and let our Allies in EUROPE lead from the front for once.
USA only adversaries in the world are Russia and China
They want Russia to attack Ukraine so Europe is forced to shut down Nordstream and fight Russia. USA would kill 2 birds with ine stone.
Russia would be isolated in the world and forced to fight
Europe would suffer with no Russian gas and also be forced to fight but also become even more dependent on USA.
So u see only country in the planet who wants war vs Russia is USA
Things are going to happen this week.
Hopefully things that move towards peace. Not war.
Russia lets Iranian arms planes land at its Syrian air base
Jan 29, 2022 @ 17:57
In a major concession to Iran – and the third setback in a week for Israel – Moscow is for the first time allowing Iranian weapons-laden flights land at the big Russian Hmeimim air base in western Syria. This follows the announcement of joint Russia-Syria air patrols over the Golan and the deployment of Russian military police units at the Syrian port of Latakia, after it was bombed by Israel as a primary portal for the intake of Iranian weapons shipments for its surrogate forces. Hmeimim is the main hub of Russia’s military operations in Syria. Our sources report that a joint Russia-Syria air defense exercise was conducted this week, another inhibitor of the continuation of Israeli air strikes..

solid MK Bhadrakumar take on the tensions
https://www.indianpunchline.com/russ...-over-ukraine/Potentially, there are three key templates in play. The first, of course, is the demand this week by Russia’s Communist Party to accord recognition to the separatist regions in Donbass in eastern Ukraine, which was followed by a call from the ruling party United Russia urging the government to render all military and economic support necessary to those regions to withstand any aggressive moves by Kiev.
The Russian Parliament may well endorse these demands. Now, if Kiev intervenes militarily to stop the emergence of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent en ies and threatens the security of the region’s Russian population, that will be casus belli for intervention by Moscow, which will be left with no option but push back the Ukrainian forces and create a buffer anywhere up to the Dnepr river.
A second template that is becoming kinetic is the energy front. The fact of the matter is that Russia’s major energy exporter Gazprom has been pumping gas in accordance with existing contracts with European countries. But the gas flow to Germany through the Yamal pipeline ended on December 21.
Moscow has not made any announcement in this regard and probably expects that it is a matter of time before the German authorities give approval for the newly-built Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which has a massive capacity to supply 55 bcm annually.
The price of Russian gas is very compe ive. The average price of Russian gas is around $280 for one thousand cubic metres (whereas, spot market price recently touched $2000.) Thus, the US cannot compete with Russia in the European market and a need arises to evict Russia from its status as the leading supplier.
However, even if the US finds a way to boost LNG deliveries to Europe, energy prices would jump. Equally, other gas exporting countries — Norway, Algeria and Qatar — lack the surplus capacity to cover the shortfall in Russian gas supplies to Europe.
Thus, Nord Stream 2, which Washington wanted to kill in its cradle, has become a test of the EU’s strategic autonomy. Washington thinks that the delay in clearing Nord Stream 2 will put pressure on Moscow to back off in Ukraine since Russia stands to earn more than $15 billion annually out of the pipeline. (Russia invested around $11 billion in the pipeline’s construction.)
Moscow has warned that holding Nord Stream 2 hostage will be “counterproductive.” And it is doubtful that the Kremlin could be browbeaten to give up on its vital security concerns — NATO expansion, etc. — for the sake of salvaging the gas exports to Europe.
Russia has huge currency reserves and can afford take some financial losses. Besides, Russia is shortly signing the deal for the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline to China with a massive capacity of $55 bcm. If push comes shove, Russia will replace the European buyers with Asian customers such as Japan, South Korea and India.
The third template of Russia’s asymmetrical response concerns an altogether intriguing sphere — Ukraine’s internal politics. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky heads an unstable regime with an eroded power base. The ultra-nationalist right-wing elements call the shots in Kiev. As things stand, Zelensky’s prospects of getting a second term in the presidential election in March 2024 do not look good.
If Ukraine suffers a military defeat, Zelensky’s fate is sealed. That said, the virulently anti-Russian extremist paramilitary groups who are present on the contact line with Donbass may consider it expedient to provoke a conflict, egged on by Western intelligence, triggering Moscow’s intervention.
Clearly, annexation of Ukrainian territory or an outright invasion of Ukraine is not in the Russian calculus, but if the security of millions of Russians in the Donbass gets jeopardised, Moscow cannot remain indifferent.
The US knows it, and Zelensky knows it. That’s why Zelensky and his defence minister Oleksiy Reznikov stepped out of line lately and began tamping down tensions, even declaring that Moscow is not contemplating aggression.
