Putin dice che la <<mobilitazione parziale>> finira entro due settimane - Il Post
Carne da macello russa insomma?
non male se ce la fanno:
Kiev annuncia: siamo pronti a liberare le zone occupate di Zaporizhzhia - Mondo - ANSA
un perno su cui far leva in meno.
poi, la democratica e, cito, "miglior alleato economico e politico" Russia la prende bene per il no del direttore d'orchestra:
Nega il concerto ai russi, ucciso il direttore dell'orchestra di Kherson - Mondo - ANSA
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
I had a funny feeling in my gut, I didn’t want to make a mistake. I made a decision, and that was it - Stanislav PetrovIt was Sep 26th, 1983, and the Cold war was at its peak. Just 3 weeks earlier, the Soviets had shot down a commercial flight killing all 269 people on board, including a Congressman from Georgia. President Ronald Reagan had declared the Soviet Union an “evil empire” and had announced the Strategic Defense Initiative which aimed at shooting down missiles before they reached the U.S (mockingly dubbed “Star Wars”).
Stanislav Petrov, a 44-year-old lieutenant colonel in the Soviet Air Defense Forces, was in the middle of his shift as a duty officer for the Soviet early warning system for Nuclear launch. The system could predict with “high reliability” if an American intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) had been launched and was headed toward the Soviet Union. Suddenly, the alarms went off and the system reported that a total of five Minuteman ICBMs had been launched by the U.S against the Soviets.
Petrov had an important decision to make - Report the attack to his superiors virtually guaranteeing a full-scale Nuclear counterattack or, go with his gut decision that it was probably a false alarm by the newly deployed system. He went with the latter and even as the computer alerts in front of him changed from “launch” to “missile strike,” and insisted that the reliability of the information was at the “highest” level, he stuck to his gut and did not report it.
In the end, Petrov turned out to be right - It was a false alarm and was triggered when Soviet satellites mistook the sun’s reflection off the tops of clouds for a missile launch. It’s estimated that he prevented more than 2 Billion deaths with his action. The probability of a full-scale nuclear war is extremely low but, the consequences, if it happens, are unimaginable.
Even though he was right, he was relentlessly interrogated and was never rewarded for his decision by the Soviets. It took more than 20 years for the world to know his story.
Petrov’s story means all the more with nuclear tensions today between the US and Russia maybe as high as they’ve been since some of the darker days of the Cold War. If anything, today’s nuclear calculus is even more complex — if Russian President Vladimir Putin decides to use short-range tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine out of desperation, it isn’t clear how the US will or should respond. Fail to react, and the world may see that a nuclear arsenal can be used as unbeatable cover for aggressive military action. React in turn, and no one knows how Putin might respond, or what could happen next.

Se Cina, Bielorussia, Serbia e Kazakistan ed altri satelliti russi chiudono improvvisamente l'ambasciata temo qualcosa succederà nei prossimi giorni

A quanto ne so cinesi e kazaki non hanno chiuso nessuna ambasciata (dove?) ma dato indicazioni ai loro cittadini di lasciare l'Ucraina nei giorni scorsi, cosa che peraltro hanno fatto praticamente tutti, stante la recrudescenza di bombardamenti da inizio settimana. Tralasciando la questione cinese (chi è satellite di chi?) mi guarderei bene dall'elencare il Kazakhstan come paese amico della Russia, dal momento che Tokayev (che fa l'occhiolino agli USA ma ha la sponda più solida proprio nell'appoggio dei cinesi) è ai ferri corti con Putin dall'inizio di quest'anno e che il governo kazako sta dando accoglienza ai cittadini russi che vi si rifugiano per sfuggire alla mobilitazione "parziale".
Altra mattinata terribile per l'Ucraina, sotto ennesimo attacco missilistico e con droni.
Esplosioni a Kiev e a Sumy, allarme aereo in tutto il Paese.
