• Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russia launched a hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile attack on a Ukrainian military facility, and warned the West that Moscow could strike the military installations of any country whose weapons were used against Russia.
  
  Putin said the West was escalating the conflict in Ukraine by allowing Kyiv to strike Russia with long-range missiles, and that the conflict was becoming global.
  
  Putin said Russia had conducted combat tests of the "Oreshnik" (the hazel) hypersnonic missile system in response to the aggressive actions of NATO countries against Russia.
  
  
  "In response to the use of American and British long-range weapons, on November 21 of this year, the Russian armed forces launched a combined strike on one of the facilities of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine," Putin said.
  
  "In combat conditions, one of the newest Russian medium-range missile systems was tested, among other things. In this case, with a ballistic missile in a nuclear-free hypersonic equipment."

January 20th can't get here fast enough.

Does any of the mainstream media even cover the fact that the U.S. opened a new missile base in Poland in the last 8 days, and that Russia considers it a furher escalaion?

.
And by the way, Russia has had hypersonic missile technology for years, and the U.S., incredibly, years later, still does not.
Catching up and achieving parity with hypersonic missile technology of Russia and China was never a priority during the Biden years.

But we are baiting Russia toward all-out war.

North Korea has supplied 10,000 troops fighing alongside the Russians in Ukraine.

Doomsday Clock stays at 90 seconds to midnight

• 23 January 2024
  by Jane Corbin, BBC News
  
  
  The Doomsday Clock - which shows how symbolically close the world is to nuclear Armageddon - is to remain at 90 seconds to midnight.
  
  Scientists have listed reasons for keeping its hands the closest they have ever been to "Doomsday" - but stopped short of nudging it further forward.
  The threat of a new nuclear arms race, the Ukraine war and climate change concerns were all factors, they said.
  The clock is set annually by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
  Since 2007, members have considered the impact of new man-made risks such as AI and climate change, as well as the greatest threat - nuclear war.
  In its 2024 announcement on Tuesday, the Bulletin said that China, Russia and the US were all spending huge sums to "expand or modernise their nuclear arsenals" - which added to the "ever-present danger of nuclear war through mistake or miscalculation".
  The war in Ukraine had also created an "ever-present risk of nuclear escalation", it said.
  A lack of action on climate change and risks linked to "misusing" emerging biological technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools were also cited.

A the link, BBC at the end shows where the nuclear clock has been across all decades since it was created.
It's been close to midnight since created in 1947.
It got a re-set and was scaled back a he end of the Cold War in 1991, pushed back to 17 minutes o midnight, the lowest it was ever scaaled since 1947.
And then ratcheted up closer to midnight by India(1998) , Pakistan (1998) and North Korea (2007) each getting nuclear weapons. Some questionable B.S. and agenda pushing with adding A.I. and "Climate Change"
And then since the beginning of the Ukraine-Russia war in 2023, the nuclear clock was moved up o 90 seconds before midnight, the closest to nuclear war the world has ever been.


I've posted it before, but here are the known arsenals of nuclear-armed nations :
