Why didn't Russia shoot anything down yet?

If Russia shot down a NATO bomber or ship flying or sailing where it shouldn't be (or even a US one), who would dare respond in kind?

It begs the next question: Why Russia didn't shoot anything down yet?

Things need to be put in perspective. So here is a third question: Why is the West and the US in particular, so dead set on confronting Russia and China at every corner, short of direct military attack?

It is not because they want to cut Russian gas to Europe (it would terminally break the EU economy and destroy its ability to store increasing dollar reserves), or repatriate jobs from China (systemically incompatible with dollar hegemony) , or even prevent the implementation of the BRI per se (because the matter of fact is that potentially it could become a huge new, and very much needed pit for excess dollars to find their home; if only it were done the "right" way).

The Russian leader set out his opinion on everything from conflict with NATO to the anti-vaxx movement.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has wound up his annual end-of-year press conference, having taken questions on the Kremlin's policy positions at home and abroad, amid strained relations with the West, high rates of Covid-19 deaths and pressure on a range of domestic political issues.

Talks with NATO

Last week, Moscow issued a series of proposals to both Washington and NATO as part of a bid to seek assurances that the US-led military bloc will not expand closer to its borders. The demands include written guarantees that the ambitions of Ukrainian politicians to join will not be realized, with the Kremlin having long described the prospect of Western troops and hardware being deployed to the former Soviet Republic as a red line.

The Israeli military has reportedly drawn up several scenarios to strike Iranian targets, but warned the government that the outcomes of such actions - or their effects on Tehran's nuclear program - were difficult to predict.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was allocated some nine billion shekels ($2.9 billion) to prepare for a possible attack on Iran, Haaretz reported on Wednesday.

To this end, the IDF has reportedly acquired advanced weapons, run air force training exercises and selected new strike targets in recent months.

According to the report, military officials have told the government the IDF was ready to strike as soon as it had approval. But it presented a number of potential consequences, including fighting breaking out with Hezbollah in Lebanon or with Hamas in Gaza.

Russia's new S-550 air defense system has successfully passed state trials and entered combat service, a source close to the Russian defense ministry has told TASS.

"The S-550 air defense system has successfully completed state trials. The first S-550 brigade has entered combat duty," he said.

The source described the new system as "an absolutely new and unrivalled mobile system of strategic missile defense," capable of "hitting spacecraft, ballistic missile reentry vehicles and hypersonic targets at altitudes of tens of thousands of kilometers."

According to the source, the new system becomes a part of Russia's comprehensive missile and air defense, comprised by Pantsir systems (low-altitude), long-range S-350, S-400 and S-500 systems and S-550 (in space).

A new documentary has accused the US intelligence agency of supporting experiments on several hundred Scandinavian children

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) allegedly backed secret experiments into schizophrenia on 311 Danish children, many adopted or from orphanages, during the early 1960s, according to a newly released documentary.

Danish Radio's documentary 'The Search for Myself' accuses the US spy agency of supporting the experiments at the Municipal Hospital in Cophenhagen. The studies were reportedly investigating the link between schizophrenia and heredity or the environment.

Secret Fauci memo - How the game is really played

Just for the record, here is the secret memo that Tony Fauci sent to world leaders clearly explaining the Ground Rules of the pandemic response. Revealed here for the first time.
Ground Rules
© Steve Kirsch Newsletter/Substack
This is just my educated guess on what Fauci probably told world leaders about how to deal with the COVID pandemic. A lot of people have told me this is the best piece I've ever written.

1. NEVER allow a proper autopsy by people who are capable of making a vaccine determination. If an autopsy can't be avoided, make sure the coroner is under staffed, lacks the proper skills and tests, and doesn't have the time to do it right. Also, offer the family to pay for the funeral expenses if they skip the autopsy.

2. Never allow anyone to do an analysis on what is in the vials. In the rare event an analysis happen, we have your back. We'll claim that these are anti-vaxxers who deliberately contaminated the vials before they were analyzed.

3. Ensure that the drug companies have complete immunity from prosecution. Otherwise, we're totally screwed.

4. Label anyone who opposes us as "anti-science." This works really well. Even Senator Johnson doesn't like this.

5. Make sure that the vaccine injury program (the CICP) never pays a dime to COVID vaccine victims. Even paying out a dime would be an acknowledgment that the vaccines aren't safe. That would cause vaccine hesitancy. We cannot have that.

US will keep warships in Mediterranean to "reassure" Europe amid NATO instigated Ukraine crisis

The Pentagon has ordered the aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman, and other warships, to remain in the Mediterranean region rather than sail as previously planned towards the Middle East, Western news agencies claimed on Tuesday.

The reports cited an unnamed "defense official" who said the move was due to tensions with Russia over NATO expansion and Ukraine.

The carrier strike group was apparently ordered to remain in the Ionian Sea by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, according to AP, Reuters and others. It was originally expected to leave the area between Greece and Italy this week, to transit through the Suez Canal and to continue towards the Persian Gulf region.

Comment: Is it any wonder that Russia is sounding the alarm that the West is agitating for a war? Not that it will happen, but the above announcement is hardly an appropriate response to Russia's security proposals that seek to deescalate the situation: Also check out SOTT radio's:

US doesn't want Iran to have missiles, Saudi Arabia can though

Iran says it needs its ballistic missile force to deter US and Israeli aggression, an argument rejected by consecutive American presidents. But the US silence over Saudi Arabia's effort to build its own missiles is deafening.

Recent news reports, based on analysis of high-resolution photographs, conclude that Saudi Arabia has purchased from China the technology necessary to manufacture solid-fuel ballistic missiles.

This news comes at a time when the US is seeking to ratchet the pressure up on Iran in an effort to compel it to eliminate its own indigenous ballistic missile production capability, which America and its allies have labeled a threat to regional and global security.

The Covid narrative is insane and illogical...and maybe that's no accident

Maybe forcing people to believe your lies, even after you admit you're lying, is the purest form of power.
Covid Narrative
© Off-Guardian
Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.

George Orwell, 1984
The "Covid pandemic" narrative is insane. That is long-established at this point, we don't really need to go into how or why here. Read our back catalogue.

The rules are meaningless and arbitrary, the messaging contradictory, the very premise nonsensical.

Every day some new insanity is launched out into the world, and while many of us roll our eyes, raise our voices, or just laugh...many more accept it, believe it, allow it to continue.

Take the situation in Canada right now, where the government has enforced a vaccine mandate on healthcare workers, meaning in British Columbia alone over 3000 hospital staff were on unpaid leave by November 1st.

How have local governments responded to staff shortages?

They are asking vaccinated employees who have tested positive for Covid to work.

Whether or not you believe the test means anything, they notionally do. In the reality they try to sell us every day, testing positive means you are carrying a dangerous disease.

So they are requesting people allegedly carrying a "deadly virus" work, rather than letting perfectly healthy unvaccinated people simply have their jobs back.

This is insanity.

But could anything more perfectly illustrate the priorities of those running the game?

As the unv'd are locked out of farmers markets and grocery stores, so too are unv'd farmers precluded from selling their grains. Ministers who warn of impending food shortages are promptly removed from office. The mainstream food supply is now in full collapse, and we must be creating ALTERNATIVE food supplies.
