For years now NATO forces have been deploying ever closer to Russia\u2019s Western-most border. Despite repeated protests and warnings from Moscow this has continued to the point that NATO forces are now within sight of Russia.<\/p>\n

It has been some time coming but Putin\u2019s response to this is to deploy new Oreshnik missiles (pictured above) to Belarus.<\/p>\n

These are hypersonic, intermediate-range (3,000-5,000 km, 1,864-3,418 miles) missiles, which will enable Moscow to strike into the heart of Western Europe with a weapon that:<\/p>\n

-> cannot be stopped by western air defences<\/p>\n

-> and which have the destructive force of a nuclear weapon \u2013 minus the radiation<\/p>\n

In effect, the world is back to where it once was during the height of the Cold War. Little has changed except for the weapon\u2019s technology, which is now more sophisticated and potentially far more destructive.<\/p>\n

One other thing that has changed though, and this is just a hunch on the part of this website but it’s crucial, and that is that Russian now has the advantage in terms of weaponry, manpower, motivation and historical momentum.<\/p>\n

None of which matters to the Western politicians who are paving the way for a wider, more destructive clash with Russian and its allies. Ed.<\/p>\n
