Despite its military wounds being visible to the world, Russia has halted Ukraine's eastward march and ground the war to a halt of hundreds of miles, fortifying the frontlines with mines, trenches, and artillery. On the battlefield, Moscow has summoned more conscripts and reformed its forces. It features more troops, new armoured vehicles, and a new source of artillery from its allies North Korea and Iran. Drones are also being used extensively. With time now working in Putin's favour, Western military figures are concerned that he will soon set his sights on NATO's eastern flank and nations that, like Ukraine, were once behind the Soviet Union's Iron Curtain. If he does, is concerned that NATO may be powerless to avoid a first wave of assaults on its smaller members in the immediate Russian warpath.

In a simulation of a'massive nuclear attack,' Putin watches his military brace for Armageddon

In revenge for a nuclear attack on Russia, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told Putin that the drills were supposed to simulate a'massive nuclear strike' by Russia.

'warned' by the CIA about the assault on Nord Stream pipes a few weeks ago.'

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 28, 2022
Nord Stream 1 and 2 - the continent's main gas pipes connecting the continent with Russia - were vulnerable to attack, according to the agent. The warning did not specify the time or location of the attack, and it's uncertain if Russia was suspected as a likely perpetrator. In what Western leaders described as a deliberate act of sabotage, three underwater blasts ripped both lines. The Kremlin has been under intense scrutiny since European reports briefed last night that Russia is to blame - but that there isn't yet enough hard evidence to point the finger firmly. Putin has both means and motives: Russia has the world's biggest spy submarine fleet with the ability to target underwater structures, and divers can safely drill out of the enclave on the Baltic Sea in Russia's Kaliningrad enclave. The attack occurred on the same day that a new pipeline, also in the Baltic, was opened connecting Poland and Norway's gas fields, and it could be interpreted as an alert. It also spooked markets, causing gas prices which had been down from record lows earlier this year to soaring 19%. And it comes against the backdrop of Putin's footsteps in Ukraine and the West's growing threats.

In the midst of rumors that Kremlin frogmen sabotaged the Nordstream gas pipeline, the EU has threatened the'strongest potential response' to Putin for the 'deliberate' sabotage of the Nordstream gas pipeline, causing a 3,000-ft plume and sending prices skyrocketing, the EU has threatened the'strongest possible reaction' to the EU. Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission's head, said on Tuesday that the leaks of the Nord Stream pipelines were caused by sabotage, and that if live European energy infrastructure were attacked, the first reaction would be the'strongest likely response.' 'Ispoke to (Danish Prime Minister Mette) Frederiksen on the sabotage action Nordstream,' von Leyen said on Twitter, 'it was vital now to investigate the incidents to get full information on the 'events and why.' Any deliberate disruption of working European energy infrastructure is intolerable, and could result in the most threatening response,' she explained.
