The West flirts with Armageddon like it’s a NATO dinner party. But Russia doesn’t do empty threats, it does calibrated warnings backed by unstoppable weapons that don’t miss and can’t be stopped. That’s not escalation. That’s deterrence, Russia-style.

Today, Vladimir Putin made it crystal clear:

“If Russian territory is hit… the response will be very serious, if not outright overwhelming.”

His words weren’t bluster. They were doctrine, a final warning of its ultimate red line.

The context? Zelensky begging for Tomahawk cruise missiles, weapons with a 2,500 km range, enough to strike deep into Russia’s interior. A move so reckless, even Trump hesitated. But the warning from Moscow is unambiguous: if these are used to strike Russian soil, the gloves come off.

And just as that warning echoed across the wires, a subtle reminder dropped — a new video of Russia’s Oreshnik missile, the latest addition to the Kremlin’s real-time escalation toolkit.

The Oreshnik isn’t theory. It’s combat-tested. It flies beyond Mach 10+, with maneuverable hypersonic re-entry. It carries multiple warheads (MIRVs) and evades every Western ABM system. It redefines what “overwhelming” means.

The West still thinks in Cold War terms, deterrence through volume. Russia thinks in speed, precision, and quiet confidence. One Oreshnik strike isn’t just destruction, but a message. A surgical, unstoppable, “we warned you” moment that can erase targets before CNN gets the chyron ready.

So let this be clear: Russia doesn’t want escalation. But if pushed, it will end the game before Washington knows it started. Trump seems to quietly understand this post Alaska, but neocons remain very much in control.

The Oreshnik does not ask permission. It reminds the world that history is written by those who cannot be intercepted. This is less about Ukraine. It’s about the end of Western impunity in a multipolar age where Moscow redraws the map with silence, speed, and sovereign precision. Let's hope sanity prevails!

Medinsky confirms Ukraine body exchange under Istanbul agreements

Vladimir Medinsky, assistant to the president of Russia and head of the Russian delegation in negotiations with Ukraine, confirmed that Russia has transferred 1000 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers to Ukraine as part of the Istanbul agreements.

Quite the ratio 1000 Ukranian dead to 31 Russian. That is telling of what the ratio could be these past few months on a global scale of the conflict.

"Today, under the Istanbul agreements, Russia has transferred 1000 bodies of fallen Ukrainian soldiers. The Ukrainian side has handed over 31 bodies of Russian soldiers. This is the current tally," Medinsky wrote on his Telegram channel.

🤔 Are US legislators hell-bent on NATO-Russia confrontation?

In a move to steer NATO right up to Russia’s borders, US lawmakers are advancing new legislation dubbed the Eastern Flank Act to "strengthen strategic defense cooperation"

How does the bill pave the way for NATO’s eastward expansion?

The Eastern Flank Strategic Partnership Act, unveiled last week, targets nine NATO allies — Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia — to "deter" Russia

These allies were picked based on their “direct geographic proximity" to Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine

They would get priority access to surplus US weapons and for “participation in bilateral and multilateral military exercises, interoperability training, logistics, and forward mobility planning.”

Spotlight on Romania and Moldova

Romania’s Mihail Kogalniceanu Base on the Black Sea coast is set to become NATO’s largest in Europe and host up to 10,000 troops and civilians by 2030

Despite Moldova's constitutionally-mandated neutrality, which bars it from joining the alliance, NATO chief Mark Rutte revealed close cooperation between the two earlier this month

Moldova's new security strategy envisages transition to NATO standards, beefing up the size of the National Army by a third, upping the defense budget to 1% of GDP while pointing to Russia as the main security threat.

The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) stated in September that NATO forces:

are being concentrated in Romania near the Moldovan border

started deployments in Odessa to intimidate Transnistria

could occupy Moldova possibly during Transnistria's Supreme Council elections on November 30

NATO’s inimical Baltic and Black Sea ring, peddled as ‘deterring’ Russia

Over the last few years, NATO has boosted its forward presence with multinational battlegroups in Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia

NATO is tightening Baltic Sea control through the Baltic Sentry initiative and aims to "reinforce" Black Sea security

The Eastern Flank Strategic Partnership Act coupled with NATO deployments in Romania, Moldova and Ukraine creates an uninterrupted belt of bases and munitions stockpiles in Eastern Europe extremely close to Russia

🇧🇪Frozen assets were not confiscated even during World War II — Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever

- "If we take 'Putin's money,' he will take ours" — the prime minister complains.

- "I want the risks to be fully shared because this is a big risk. So if you want to take such a step, we will have to do it together," he said at the EU summit in Brussels.

- He emphasized that he will do everything at the European, national, political, and legal levels to stop this decision if the EU does not share the responsibility.
