The Salty Bear,
Got all your books. ( twice…it’s a long story.)
What you said a few years ago is all coming true. I studied the dreaded humanities at university. In 1978 in a tutorial I predicted the collapse of the USSR. Also said that when Ford and GM goes broke so America goes broke and collapses. They all laughed at me.
Both went broke from corruption and economic incompetence. When the Berlin Wall fell l was shocked. On reading your books l realised the secret sauce of Americas final days. It’s coming.
Dear Salty keep up the education videos and articles..
With the continuing shelling of the Donbas civilians by Ukraine Forces Russia will need to take all of Ukraine quickly or no civilians will be safe.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue shelling on civilians in the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. On July 3, the total number of civilian casualties from the attacks of the AFU is 18 people. 5 civilians were killed and 13 others were wounded.
According to the DPR representative in the JCCC, as of 11.30 pm local time, the Ukrainian military fired 248 ammunition of various types, including with the BM-21 Grad MLRS, as well as artillery ammunition of 155, 152 and 122 mm caliber. Information about the consequences of the shelling continues to arrive.
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
Just waved goodbye to the brother-in-law, a pharmacist with several shops in Nu Joisey, USA. As daft as a brush, fallen hook line and sinker for the MSM narrative regarding the SMO.
I informed him that everything he’s heard on CNN, CNBC , FOX, is all garbage.
Shocking is his level of naivety.
Still he brought me half a dozen shirts and a few bottles of perfume/aftershave, so I wasn’t too hard on him.
Seriously, if they can wrap this guy around their finger, then the brainwashing techniques on your average American Joe must render them imbeciles.
Andrei deserves a medal if he’s putting up with 24/7 that which I couldn’t handle for 4 hours.
Sadly, I think that the only Russian way to put and end to Europe and American war mongering and pillaging is to strike them with conventional missiles that they have in the thousands.
Nothing will ever change in America unless a force from outside causes mass uncontrolled protests and chaos. It will take less than a dozen to hit them and all hell will break loose.
Since all protest movements n the west are bought out, these inconsequential movements mean nothing.
Even the Homo, LGBT, abortion rights, eco concerns and BLM are all smokescreens to keep the public away from the harsh economic reality. Since the very same people financiers control all the media, the lies will always be paramount.
The attack on Belgorod in Russian border will get a rely. Both the Russians and Chinese told them; they are playing with fire and I really think that both don’t want to destroy them.
However they seem hell bent on suicide. That was always coming even without this war. A western world completely controlled by Zionists, screwing everything that was ever good, destroying these countries with filth. Dragging down the west by a financial greed of a printing press running out of ink.
re-Mass uncontrolled protests:
With the rapid disappearance of cash (banknotes and coinage), only i-phones and plastic will give access to bank accounts. Therein lies POWER.
Protesting Canadian truckers were denied access to their bank accounts.
I read somewhere that something similar happened to protestors in parts of Russia.
In Cyprus, some years ago, the government reduced everyone’s bank account by 10%.
India, also, has largely demonetised.
Access to one’s accumulated wealth (money) is as necessary as oxygen.
I have long argued that peace will come ONLY when the dollar is ditched and mainland USA suffers massive bombardment of the sort they delivered to North Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Syria, among many others.
Gosto muito do The Saker, que sigo há 10 anos. Mas os comentaristas do tal “ocidente” se referem ao Imperio das Mentiras como “América”. Sou brasileiro e, acredite, somos uma côlonia de merda, da qual me envergonho’ (Isso aqui é um ninho de traidores, que defendem caninamente os interesses europeus e estadunidenses). O complexo de cachorro sarnento, é tão grande, que as mulheres loiras da zona sul do Rio de Janeiro estavam querendo importar ampolas de esperma dos EUA para engravidarem. Por isso, sinto-me humilhado quando vocês chamam o Império das Mentiras de américa. Se vc olhar um mapa irá constatar que há América do Sul, do Norte e america Central. Nós existimos, somos um povo de merda, que elegeu nazifacistas que defendiam que a terra é plana e batiam continência para a bandeira estadunidense. Mas, apesar vocês, mesmo sem saber, tentarem nos cancelar simbolicamente, eu grito: ESTAMOS AQUI NA AMÉRICA DO SUL.

Google-translate from mod:
I really like The Saker, which I have followed for 10 years. But the commentators of such a “West” refer to the imperity of lies as “America.” I am Brazilian and, believe me, we are a shit neck, of which I am ashamed ‘(this is a traitory nest, who can be canine the European and American interests). The Sarnento dog complex is so large that blond women in the south of Rio de Janeiro were wanting to import US sperm ampoules to get pregnant. Therefore, I feel humiliated when you call the Empire of America’s lies. If you look at a map you will find that there are South America, North and Central America. We exist, we are a shitty people who elected Nazifacists who argued that the earth is flat and continued to the US flag. But although you, even without knowing, try to cancel us symbolically, I scream: we are here in South America.
I just want to add: I think what Antonio wants to say is that:
“America” is a continent, consisting of South, Middle and North America.
The USA is hardly “America”. It is only a small part of America.
Calling the USA “America” (as the US Americans do it themselves) is a colonial practice: it “forgets” that there are other native people all over Americas. It screams “only USA is important, the rest is invisible and unimportant”.
This is the reason why I trained myself to *never* call USA “America”. Otherwise it’s playing into their narrative! I call them USA.
Agree.
I appreciate those commenters here, who use the word USA consistently, and some form of “USA-nians” for the citizens (unfortunately no really catchy term for the US people has appeared yet….).
@KRL
There is a word in Spanish “estadounidense” that refers to anything or anyone of the USA in a non-derogatory sense. But yeah, a proper English term has yet to appear.
My often repeated observation is that busy, certified professionals are the least likely to question the dominant MSM/government narrative for the following reasons.
a) They are busy, they do not have time to investigate alternative facts and opinions.
b) They are certified professionals and trust the opinions of other similarly certified professionals
c) Questioning the official narrative could harm their business and professional standing.
The present Ukrainian leadership is made up by low specimen of humanity…..
When Andrei talks about the “institutional blackmailing of its own allies” by the USA, I am reminded of the expression by Henry Kissinger: “To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.”
Shelling civilians, using them as shields is a war-crime.
Now I don’t here the UN/ faux International Freedom Brigades like Amnesty screaming blue murder.
All a bunch of Western whores.
No doubt Russia are recording these among other crimes, however, Zelensky & Zaluzhnyi and their handlers on the ground have rubber stamped these crimes.
Given the power, I’d level every Government/NATO building in Kiev & Lvov tomorrow, no warning.
At 33 minutes:
“some suicidal maniacs, which you have many of inside decision making circles in the United States and NATO”
and then,
“the absolutely unthinkable, which is of course nuclear war”
With respect to conventional modern weapons (hyperwhatevers) there are numerous criminally insane people involved in decisions, while that is the only bulwark against what is even more unthinkable, despite that it has been very thoroughly prepared to happen.
I find little solace in that.
Thanks Andrei!
But Andrei is only talking about military missile attack and defence weapons. What everybody forget is that America has other hidden possibilities for the defences of America.
We have the Corona virus weapon which so far only have been used in an Emergency Response Exercise.
We have psychological warfare in MSM and Western NGO’s which continue to make results. We have a Secret Space Command Centre with high precision energy and laser weapons, and we have nanobot boosters which can make Europeans into zombies marching against Moscow, antrax infected mosquitoes and flies, and white micro worms we put into the enemy’s food circuit everytime they eat a hamburger.
Therefore we have to see the full spectrum hybrid picture before anybody make any conclusion about America’s default, and Putin know it.
Your MSM warfare is only working in USA and the dumb brainwashed West. Despite your free service outside, nobody is listening.
For COVID you lost a million, but I am sure it is much higher and you still talk of your evilness as a boast. You actually have what is published, because all your military is private companies beholden to investors. Your military hypes be to get more money from your idiot governments.
Your space program is entirely privatized and you simply have no idea what Russia or China has; with highly intelligent and motivated people to beat you into the ground.
The only thing you ever had was a bulling force against defenceless people, but even after you destroyed their countries, they found a way to kick you out.
Go back and watch Hollywood & Netflix’s as you live in a fantasy.
At first Martyanov insisted (till Feb., “but not quote me on this”, hahaha), Russia would never attack Ukraine. Then he wrote, March 15, 80-85 % of the Ukro-military were destroyed in 2 weeks. And you still consider him Leonardo da Vinci of the Military Science? Well hello – kmon, folks ))))
But Russia never attacked the Ukraine. The Ukraine has been attacking and killing Russian speaking Ukrainians for the past eight years. Fourteen thousand dead Ukrainians killed by fascist neo Nazi’s, the dregs of the world come to kill Russian speaking Ukrainians. They won’t be missed, celebrating death is ugly, inhuman, but when the occasion calls for it ParTay.
Hmm, I’d have to agree with Andrei, the majority of the Ukraine’s army was destroyed in the first few weeks, that they now need NATO weapons, pregnant women, grandmothers and pre pubescent teens to woman the ramparts speaks volumes as to the mighty NATO armed Ukrainian Army.
What type of spineless pussy asks civilian women to fight, only a spineless keyboard pussy would even contemplate that?
Cheers M
Well a chosen one who does not consider nonchosen as people.
All Ukrainians are just tools for them to be used just like in afghanistan
or syria or yemen. The superrich dont consider the normal people to
be part of the same race. They think of themselves as some kind of
deities just look up some comments of soros on the net.
This is rather shocking or maybe I am too naive. OSCE has been collaborating with Ukrainian SBU.
How much worse can it get?
https://russian.rt.com/ussr/article/1021876-rosgvardiya-sbu-dokumenty-obse
Thats normal. They gave targets to nato when they were in Kosovo back in the day.
Red cross/ Red Crecent delivered ammo or transported militants in mulitple conflicts.
Every international organisation is compromised. Russia will have to rebuild the world
from scrach if they win against the usa. They cannot use anything that allready existed
in the US Era.
Just consider the USA and NATO’s record: 90% failure since 1945. The only successes they have had in the last nearly eighty years has been in “push over” conflicts like Grenada and Libya. Every other military adventure has either ended in failure or at best, stalemate as in the case of Korea. Any real conflict between NATO and Russia will be over quick for many reasons. The USA is no longer the “arsenal of democracy”, they do not have the industrial capacity to continue a REAL war beyond six months. They do not have the internal support for such a war either, as the people would demand peace SOON. And they do not have reliable reserves to call up either. What reservist would answer the call once it becomes obvious the war has become just a meat-grinder?
Andrei
If the super powers go nuclear, how is it that the USA can reliably launch nuclear missiles snd destroy Russia if Russia has fundamental superiority with conventional and nuclear weapons?
To me it sometimes sounds like the USA would not be able to reliably launch or even reach Russian decision centers?
Confused.
Russia has this great challenge hanging over it. While making nice with China today, it knows that some day, and maybe not so far in the future, it must’ve cede vast swaths of its country to China or go to war with that southern neighbor. It could even effectively lose access to the pacific.
It is sad, to say the least that the west is so craven and corrupt that this current conflict could not be avoided. I wonder whether Putin sees gains made in the west, will help to solidify Russia’s position in a future where the Russian East is largely ceded to China.if you look at the numbers, it’s clear that this must happen.
That’s just silly jew propaganda. The adults that run Russia and China know how to solve problems lawfully and diplomatically.
“Russia will cede over vast lands to China” shows how ridiculous nonsense is being brought forward, as many see their chaos collapsing. MOA is overun by these people and seem to revel in allowing them to spew nonsense.
Wind forward just 2 months and see the result of their superior power. Already in Canada no new goods are coming in and even basics things like an Ikea coat rack or any new shoes.
China will do this, Russia, Iran, Venezuela etc..will do this and that to you, while you continue to try and destroy these countries. What a sick world we live in.
Princeton’s Plan A analysis pictorially represents an all out nuclear war. ABM systems do not even enter into consideration, likely for all the reasons Andrei mentions.
https://sgs.princeton.edu/the-lab/plan-a
So everybody shoots and nobody misses, they presume. The scary thought is that some might think they get to shoot first and other side won’t get a reply, if they destroy the enemies missiles at the launch sites before they get launched.
But anti-missile missiles are not economical. More offensive missiles are manufactured more cheaply than any anti missile system, barring some major technical innovations that they won’t tell us about. But anybody who thinks that a nuclear war can be won is dangerous.
US defense to its workforce: Nuclear war can be won
Feb 2, 2022Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev once said that “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought,” and five major nuclear weapon states, including the United States, repeated this statement earlier this year. Yet many in the US defense establishment—the military, government, think tanks, and industry—promote the perception that a nuclear war can be won and fought.
https://thebulletin.org/2022/02/us-defense-to-its-workforce-nuclear-war-can-be-won/
“In order to preserve a balance, while we aren’t planning to build a missile defence of our own, as it’s very expensive and its efficiency is not quite clear yet, we have to develop offensive strike systems. They [U.S.] should give us all the information about the missile defence, and we will be ready then to provide some information about offensive weapons.”
Wikiquote
Putin said that arms control talks between Moscow and Washington were proceeding in a positive way. (December 2009)
“However, in this case I would like to speak about the most serious and sensitive issue: international security. Since 2002, after the US unilaterally pulled out of the ABM Treaty, which was absolutely a cornerstone of international security, a strategic balance of forces and stability, the US has been working relentlessly to create a global missile defence system, including in Europe. This poses a threat not only to Russia, but to the world as a whole – precisely due to the possible disruption of this strategic balance of forces.”
VVP – Wikiquote
4 December 2014, The Kremlin Moscow
“We are improving our attack systems as an answer to the United States building its missile defense system… Clearly, we have overtaken all our, so to speak, partners and competitors in this sphere, and this fact is acknowledged by the experts. No one has a high-precision hypersonic weapon…So, we feel confident in this sense.“

Valdai Discussion Club: 15th Plenary Session (18 October 2018)
“Our nuclear weapons doctrine does not provide for a pre-emptive strike…. there is no provision for a pre-emptive strike in our nuclear weapons doctrine. Our concept is based on a reciprocal counter strike. We are prepared and will use nuclear weapons only when we know for certain that some potential aggressor is attacking Russia…Only when we know for certain – and this takes a few seconds to understand – that Russia is being attacked we will deliver a counter strike. This would be a reciprocal counter strike. Why do I say ‘counter’? Because we will counter missiles flying towards us by sending a missile in the direction of an aggressor. Of course, this amounts to a global catastrophe but I would like to repeat that we cannot be the initiators of such a catastrophe… any aggressor should know that retaliation is inevitable and they will be annihilated. And we as the victims of an aggression, we as martyrs would go to paradise while they will simply perish because they won’t even have time to repent their sins.“
Valdai Discussion Club: 15th Plenary Session (18 October 2018)
Ray McGovern: Let me just start with Putin’s major address [1 March 2018] … It was really something. Not only did he advertise a whole new generation of strategic weaponry, which he claimed, and no one has disproved, would render the billions of dollars that we have wasted on antiballistic missile defenses useless. They’re useless to begin with, most scientists and engineers say, but these new weapons that he advertised, and some of which he said are operational, would upend that… he also said, Now, we tried to get you to listen to us. You wouldn’t listen to us. Now, hopefully, you will listen to us. Let’s get together at the appropriate time with experts and figure out how we address these problems, in other words, talks on arms control …
from Wikiquote (Vladimir Putin)
Putin’s willingness to talk arms control is ignored by our leaders, as well as Putin’s concerns about Russian, European and world security from nuclear war, while it’s made out to be all about regime change in Russia.
We need democratic regime change of western leaders to those that have more sense, except for all the nonsense that media gives us about Putin, such that even all of the opposition has few to no reasons to believe otherwise.
So it doesn’t matter where we start. Wherever. We can start anywhere.
Are there any laser weapons that could defend against hypersonic missiles? That appears to be the only possible solution. I’m sure both the Russians and the Americans have these in development or already developed. It would be good to hear your opinion on such laser based anti-missile systems.
The US will defeat incoming missiles with laser-directed high-speed bullshit.
They’re working on it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/SEQ-3_Laser_Weapon_System
“ The LaWS is a ship-defense system that has so far publicly engaged an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV or drone) and a simulated small-boat attacker. LaWS uses an infrared beam from a solid-state laser array which can be tuned to high output to destroy a target or low output to warn or cripple the sensors of a target. One of its advantages over projectile weapons is the low cost per shot: Each firing of the weapon requires only the minimal cost of generating the energetic pulse; by contrast, ordnance for projectile weapons must be designed, manufactured, handled, transported, and maintained, and takes up storage space.
The LaWS is designed to be used against low-end asymmetric threats. Scalable power levels allow it to be used on low power to dazzle a person’s eye non-lethally to turn away a threat, and to be used at high power, up to 30 kilowatts, to fry sensors, burn out motors, and detonate explosive materials. By lasing a vital point, LaWS can shoot down a small UAV in as little as two seconds. When facing small boats, the laser can target a craft’s motor to disable it, then repeat this against other boats in rapid succession, requiring only a few seconds of firing per boat. Targeting the platform is more effective than targeting individual crewmembers, although the LaWS is accurate enough to target explosive rockets if on board, whose detonations could kill the operators. Against a larger aircraft like a helicopter, LaWS can burn through some vital components to cause it to crash.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peresvet_(laser_weapon)
“ According to the military expert Igor Korotchenko, director of the Center for Analysis of the World Trade in Arms, the Peresvet combat laser can be successfully used against unmanned aerial vehicles. At the same time, its effectiveness directly depends on environmental conditions: in good weather, it works perfectly, but fog, rain, snow and other adverse weather events can interfere with the passage of the laser beam. The expert also added that such installations consume a lot of electricity, so using them as a portable tool is unlikely to succeed; in the future they will be able to protect military bases and other locations from penetrations of UAVs into their territory.[10] The system can also blind enemy satellites in orbits of up to 1,500 km and “disabling them during their fly-past by means of laser irradiation”, according to Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Yury ”
And that’s just what we are allowed to know.
“Are there any laser weapons that could defend against hypersonic missiles?”
No there aren’t and there likely won’t be any in the foreseeable future if ever.
In french but interesting (animations) on hypersonics:
https://youtu.be/WvHExSSwEZo
Russia announced on Friday the commissioning of these hypersonic devices, capable according to it of surpassing any existing anti-missile shield.
Abroad, eyes are still focused on this dangerous game between Ukraine and Russia. At the same time, Vladimir Putin is trying to maintain his inner power and the arms race is part of this path he has been charting for 22 years, with a novelty: hypersonic weapons. Decryption in augmented reality.
The Russians currently have at least two types of hypersonic weapons. The first is intended to carry a nuclear payload, to strike any target on the planet. “Avangard” is its name, looks like a ballistic missile, classic, 27 meters long. But in his headdress is a glider, a kind of drone five meters long. Launched by the missile, this glider, made of composite materials, could fly up to 27,000 km/h in the upper layers of the atmosphere, protected from the air heated to 2,000 degrees by its heat shield.
A nuclear charge equivalent to 130 times that of the Hiroshima bomb
Where a classic missile rises in space and follows a bell-shaped trajectory, predictable for the enemy defense, “Avangard” remains at a lower altitude. It can change course, its point of impact is unpredictable. The missile can carry a nuclear charge equivalent to 130 times that of the Hiroshima bomb. The Russians have also developed shorter-range hypersonic missiles, such as the “Zircon”, designed to sink aircraft carriers or destroy targets within 1,000 kilometers. Russia is sending a very clear signal to the world: a new arms race has begun.
Moscow deploys its “absolute weapon”, the Avangard hypersonic missile
This system is part of a new generation of missiles capable, according to Moscow, of reaching a target almost anywhere in the world.
Russia announced Friday, December 27 the entry into service of its first Avangard hypersonic missiles, one of the new weapons developed by Moscow and touted by President Vladimir Putin as “virtually invincible”.
This system is part of a new generation of missiles capable, according to Moscow, of reaching a target almost anywhere in the world and of surpassing any existing anti-missile shield, such as the system deployed by the United States in Europe.
“Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President Putin the commissioning at 10:00 Moscow time (07:00 GMT) of the first regiment equipped with the new Avangard hypersonic strategic systems,” the ministry said in a statement quoted by Russian agencies. . Sergei Shoigu “congratulated” the Russian military, judging that the deployment of the missiles was “a fantastic event for the country and for the armed forces”.
In December 2018, the Russian army indicated that the first Avangard missile regiment would be deployed in the Orenburg region of the Urals.
33,000 kilometers per hour
Vladimir Putin had compared the Avangard missiles, successfully tested in December 2018 with a range of 4000 km, “to the creation of the first artificial satellite of the Earth”, a reference to Sputnik launched in 1957, which had symbolized the technological advance of the Soviet Union over the United States in the midst of the Cold War.
“It’s an intercontinental missile system, not a ballistic one. It is the absolute weapon”, welcomed the Russian president in June 2018. “I do not think that a single country will have such a weapon in the years to come. We already have it”, he added, while relations with Westerners are at their lowest.
intercontinental missile system
According to Moscow, the Avangard flies at a speed of Mach 20 and is capable of reaching Mach 27 – twenty-seven times the speed of sound and more than 33,000 kilometers per hour. It is capable of changing course and altitude, according to Mr. Putin.
These weapons are touted by Russian President Vladimir Putin as “virtually invincible”. Moscow announced on Friday, December 27, the commissioning of its first Avangard hypersonic missiles.
This system is part of a new generation of machines capable, according to the Russian authorities, of reaching a target almost anywhere in the world and of surpassing any existing anti-missile shield, such as the system deployed by the United States. in Europe.
A reference to the Sputnik satellite

@Andrei,
I don’t know if you have ever read it but a book was written and published by a former Conservative (iberal Party) Prime Minister of Australia, after he left office, which is titled “Dangerous Allies”. It is definitely worth a read if time permits as it shows that there are members of the Western Elite, who once out of positions of power, will, if courageous enough, speak truth about power relationships to those who bother to go looking.
Thanks you as ever for your work in bringing knowledge to those interested in seeking out information to form their own critical views.
Kind regards.
I’m curious if anyone has info about this report. Interestingly, two newly imported French CAESAR self-propelled 155mm howitzer’s changed hands, and have been transported back to Russia. There’s word of an investigation about $120,000 USD changing hands with a former SBU officer, and a Ukie unit commander…If this indeed is true, the Ukie weapons trafficking business is rife!…
Lone Wolf might know…
Z
2 have been seized by Russian army or ‘sold’…at least 4 are destroyed. One shooted on RU small contingent on Snake Island(reason why they lesft for the moment), in total Macron sent 16.
There ukrops training in the south of France somwhere as it ended up in the news because they missed one of their training strike and a civil place took fire (lol).
Himars were used tonight against Donetsk again(4 killed + 12 + wounded very big fires).
They trained in Germany in a US base for the himars.
Security council of RF today (urgent): ”big decisions” taken in regard to strikes on Russia this week-end, but will be announced Tuesday….hopeffully they finaly decided to strike back on ‘decisions’ centers it is about time.
Андрей. I would prefer that Uncle $hmuel get what’s coming to him. If he goes down, what will Israhell do?
Russia has S-300 and modern variants, S-400,S-500, S-550 and modern powerful ABM. Why is it that Belgorod is being constantly attacked and people and infracstructure is being destroyed ? Ukraine attacked Crimea-based oil and gas company Chernomorneftegaz twice why? After all there K300-P , Bastion-P with Oniks/Yakhont supersonic anti-ship missile defence complex in Crimea. I have read somewhere that state -of -the art S-400 anti-missile defense systems were also deployed in Crimea and why not in Belgorod too? Just last week Israeli German Saar-6 covette with Iron C-Dome and Gabriel V anti-ship missile defense system intercepted four Hezbolah drones as they approached Israeli oil rigs in the meditteranean.
