Massive Explosion in Russia!

Nothing to celebrate.

As near nuclear as you can get without it being nuclear?  https://x.com/i/status/1836285908691357898 Explosions have been reported at a military base and an ammunition storage facility in Russia's Tver region, according to eyewitness reports. 18.9.2024

Well inside Russia! :

That was two days ago in Toropets, the depot was used to house North Korean missiles and some of Russia’s most advanced weaponry, including guided bombs, artillery and S-400 air defence systems.

Plumes of smoke rising from the fires were so large that they could be seen from space. The explosions also triggered seismic activity measuring 2.8 points on the Richter scale.

Well inside Russia and a long way from Ukraine. Begs the question where the drones came from although stated to be from Ukraine. Was this a Ukrainian attack or a NATO attack?  I think we and importantly Mr Putin, know the answer to that one. Despite the size of the blast and the inferno that followed, covering 5 square miles, only 13 people were injured according to Russia (via Wikipedia) which is hardly credible. It goes without saying, that the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East pose the biggest danger to Western civilization since the Cuba stand-off in '62. They also share common participants and creators.  America and its western allies claim to be anti-world-war but in reality everything points the other way.

Ukraine’s drone attack succeeded in “wip[ing] off the face of the Earth” a major Russian weapons depot in the Tver region, Ukrainian intelligence sources said.

Sources in Ukraine’s SBU security service told The Kyiv Independent that “an extremely powerful detonation began” at the Russian defence ministry’s warehouse in Toropets following a drone strike.

The depot is believed to have housed Iskander and Tochka-U tactical missile systems, guided aerial bombs and artillery ammunition. The attack “literally wiped off the face of the Earth a large warehouse of the main missile and artillery department of the Russian defence ministry,” the source was quoted as saying.

In Kyiv last night, president Volodymyr Zelensky hailed the outcome of the attack without directly referring to the incident. “A very important result was achieved last night on Russian territory and such actions weaken the enemy,” he said. “I thank everyone involved. Such precision is truly inspiring.”

Meanwhile, Mr Zelensky is expected to meet with US Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris when he visits Washington next week, according to reports. Republican nominee Donald Trump has also said he will “probably” meet the Ukrainian president.

Comment:

Can you believe it? There are those in our government, not content with all the domestic financial and social problems, who actively promote WAR in the Middle East and in Eastern Europe?

What sort of madness is this: an undeclared war between NATO (for which read America and Britain (again!)) and Russia?

It means an escalation destructive of lives and property, producing only hatred and division.

Are we prepared for rockets raining on London?

The Ukraine war was created and maintained by the Pentagon, and Europe could be devastated by it.

The destruction in Gaza should be a warning but is it?

There has long been a Pentagon view that Russia could be defeated militarily. (See: https://veaterecosan.blogspot.com/search?q=russia+america ; https://veaterecosan.blogspot.com/search?q=ukraine )

The world is destroyed by war mongers. They are a political cancer.

The latest decision to use British and American rockets inside Russian territory can only spell disaster for the region.

Yet the British public is kept comatosed of the impending disaster by a complaisant and biased media.

George Galloway predicted that within six months of Starmer being elected we would be at war with Russia. Sadly, as with a lot of other things, he could be right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE7zr_MHUMs ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkfPyHSr1h0 ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LpbrwpXZUE)

Do you see how no one in the West is prepared to CONDEMN izrael for its latest state terrorism, causing mobile phone explosions with no regard to public safety or targeting. Imagine the reaction if this was done by China in Taiwan. Has the West lost all semblance of right and wrong in its slavish support of that rogue state? https://veaterecosan.blogspot.com/
