Russia could provide its most advanced hypersonic missiles to Venezuela, amid frayed relations with the United States.
The Kremlin claims the Oreshnik missile is impossible to intercept and can carry conventional and nuclear warheads.
Alexei Zhuravlyov, the deputy chairman of Russia’s parliamentary defence committee, warned that “the Americans may be in for some surprises” as he opened the door to a weapons transfer to Venezuela.
“I see no obstacles to supplying a friendly country with new developments such as the Oreshnik or, let’s say, the well-proven Kalibr missiles,” Mr Zhuravlyov told the Russian news website Gazeta.Ru.
The Oreshnik missile, translating as “hazel tree”, is capable of striking any target across the European continent in under an hour if launched from Russia or Belarus, according to Moscow.
Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, has insisted that the missiles are so mighty that using several of them in a strike with conventional warheads would be just as catastrophic as a nuclear attack.
The Oreshnik was first used in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro in November 2024 in what Putin said was a reprisal to Ukraine’s use of long-range weaponry hailing from the US and UK, including Storm Shadow missiles, to hit targets inside Russia.
It is understood Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan president, reached out to Putin personally to plead for military assistance amid increased US military presence in the Caribbean.
Mr Maduro asked for Russia to boost air defences, including restoring Russian Sukhoi Su-30MK2 aircraft already in Venezuela’s possession and acquiring 14 sets of missiles, The Washington Post reported last week.
In a letter to the Russian president, Mr Maduro reportedly said that the Sukhoi fighters were “the most important deterrent the Venezuelan national government had when facing the threat of war”.
Caracas also reached out to China and Iran to upgrade its military capabilities and expand defensive ties, according to the paper.
The US deployment in the Caribbean Sea has been swelling for months as Washington dispatched fighter jets, warships, bombers, marines, drones and spy planes in a move that the US president claimed was necessary to sever the flow of drugs into the US.
More than a dozen US strikes on alleged drug traffickers, most of whom departed from Venezuelan shores, have killed more than 60 people since September.
On Saturday, Maria Zakharova, the Russian foreign ministry spokesman, said that Moscow condemns “the use of excessive military force in carrying out anti-drug tasks” by the US, reiterating its “firm support” for Venezuela’s leadership.
Russia and Venezuela have celebrated close ties over the past two decades and signed a strategic partnership treaty in Moscow last year.
Mr Zhuravlyov, describing Russia on Tuesday as “one of Venezuela’s key military-technical partners”, said that it “supplies the country with almost the full range of weaponry”.
On Tuesday, Putin announced that the Sarmat intercontinental heavy missile will enter Russia’s combat service from next year.
The nuclear missile, nicknamed Satan II, has been touted as the “world’s deadliest weapon”.

Unseen Interview of Giuffre Says Andrew ‘Passed Her Around’ While Maxwell Was ‘Much More Violent’ Than Epstein
Story by Thea Felicity • 13h
• unseen footage from a BBC Panorama interview has resurfaced, featuring the late Virginia Giuffre as she dropped bombshell on experiences with Prince Andrew and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
The interview aired as public scrutiny continues regarding Andrew’s ongoing transition into private life, following the removal of his royal titles as ordered by King Charles.
Giuffre Describes Being Treated as a ‘Toy’
In the interview shared by The Independent, She said she was treated as something to be ‘passed around’.Giuffre pointed out the emotional contradiction of knowing that Andrew was a father to daughters, but still, according to her, had participated in behaviour that caused her great harm. She expressed the distress the situation created, explaining that she was young, vulnerable, and aware of her own fear and confusion
and very afraid of the threats.
She added that interactions with Maxwell was more aggressive than convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in certain situations, and the girls lived in fear of her
In the footage, she explained that while Epstein played a central role in controlling the environment, Maxwell held strong influence and enforced the behaviour expected of her. Giuffre said this dynamic made her feel trapped, with limited autonomy or ability to refuse what she was told to do.
he said girls were tricked into going for what they thought would be highly paid modeling shots, not to be secretly filmed for Mossad blackmail
Andrew has consistently denied all allegations. His representatives have maintained that events described by Giuffre did not happen and that he has never met her in the circumstances she alleges.
Ex-Prince Andrew’s New Life After Allegations
The release of the footage comes soon after reports confirmed that Andrew will receive an annual allowance from King Charles to support his relocation and living arrangements as a private citizen. The stipend is projected to be £100,000 ($130,000) per year, drawn from the King’s private funds
This follows the formal removal of Andrew’s remaining royal roles and the completion of his status change to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
Andrew’s financial support from the King has been met with criticism from members of the public who question why an individual associated with such high-profile child abuse continues to receive substantial private funding linked to royal wealth and estates.
The list of those blackmailed is extensive, mostly Americans but Brits too,
in the USA many now want to drop links to israel
((( The Daily Telegraph.co.uk ))) !!! Who’d be bothered ?
37,000 US troops in Germany have been advised on how to apply to foodbanks if come mid-November they no longer get paid due to the possible continued government shutdown in which case they’ll not be paid. But this must also mean that all those troops currently off the Venezuelan coast might not get paid. Those aboard ship will still eat of course but many of them must have family back home who won’t get paid either. Imagine having to fight a war unpaid. I would also be suspicious that anybody injured during a government shutdown might have problems claiming compensation for their injuries. Those sharks in insurance may claim they were not fully covered, or at least they may force some people to sue in court.

Russia should do it whether we send Tomahawks or not..Playing nice hasn’t gotten them anywhere..drones that can hit Moscow aren’t much better..
Some Americans who have their own vlogs and whose comments are featured on some of the economic programs I watch believe the US government won’t open again. They think it’s actually broken. Even if it does open again it’s unlikely it’s in a position to continue war against Venezuela for any length of time.
Several people complain of the massive increases in their health insurance premiums, with one tearful woman saying hers has increased by 160% and she just can’t afford it. Another woman warned the end of SNAP benefits also brings with it the end of subsidised prescriptions, and she said she gives it just two to three weeks when the country will face psychotic episodes from people who need mental health meds but can no longer get them.
The habitually violent criminally insane Jewnited States massing another force for murder and destruction on the steps of Venezuela that the “US president claimed was necessary to sever the flow of drugs into the US.” Yeah sure sure, it’s to protect Americunts from the “flow of drugs”. The thing is, many dumber than dog shit and criminally gullible Americunts will actually believe that…as they’re dosed to the eyeballs on highly toxic and drastically overpriced pharmaceuticals, slathered in the psychological and societal degradation, and raped and robbed blind by the criminal regime posing as “their” government.
The Jew-run USA will be in for a big surprise if they attack Venezuela!
Trump is a Crypto-Jew punk. The Jew-USA ain’t kickin’ nobody’s ass! It’s the epitome of a paper tiger. It’s cruisin’ for a major bruisin’!
I do not seek out the Telegraph’s opinion: Alex Jones likes the Trump attitude to Venezuela
rixon probably has a portrait of putin in his house
US Government Shutdown: A Crisis of Leadership
The ongoing government shutdown in the United States has become the longest in history, lasting over 36 days. This unprecedented situation has left countless government workers without paychecks and millions of Americans without essential services. The impasse between Democrats and Republicans highlights a significant failure in leadership and governance, as both parties struggle to reach a consensus on funding legislation necessary to keep the government operational.
As essential services dwindle, the impact on everyday Americans is profound. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced plans to cut air traffic by 10% at major airports, further complicating travel for many. The shutdown not only affects federal employees but also has ripple effects on state budgets and discretionary programs that millions rely on.
Understanding the 2025 U.S. Government Shutdown and Military Pay
As the U.S. government faces its longest shutdown in history, initiated on October 1, 2025, many federal employees, including military personnel, are grappling with the implications of this funding lapse. While military members are required to continue their duties, they will not receive paychecks until Congress passes a continuing resolution or appropriations. This situation raises significant concerns about the financial stability of those serving our nation.
During previous shutdowns, military personnel have often been assured of receiving retroactive pay once funding is restored. For instance, the Trump administration indicated that military members would receive their pay despite the shutdown, thanks to an anonymous donation to the Defense Department. However, the uncertainty surrounding the timing of these payments can create financial strain for service members and their families.
PS: Trump lost to Mamdani. Not hard to figure out why.
Voting for anything American these days however might be a waste of time and counter productive. Federal government is broken, this is MAGA for ya…
Is Trump going to attack Venezuela?
Is he that stupid?
PS: Putin might be prepared to give Venezuela missiles if Trump arms Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles. Who knows, Putin might supply Venezuela with missiles if he believes Trump is going to attack Venezuela.
China might also have something to say in defence of Venezuela.
If god is willing! It’s a Scary thought but according to the book it’s looking inevitable. Even new born babies are now being touted as a potential threat to the future of humanity in the mind games of the so called polite society. I wish this website had a larger audience and bigger presence.
