         (A Political Commentary: Military-Political Blackmail)

              Two political analysts meet. One says to the other:
              - Listen, do you know what's going on?
              -I can explain it to you right now.
              -Explaining it, I can do myself. Just tell me what's going on!

       Today is November 21, 2024. The Ukrainian-Russian-American standoff is no longer a relationship—it's an all-out brawl that's long since hit a dead end. Big boys shouldn’t act this way. If you pull a knife, you better use it, or you’ll never get your street cred back in the yard.

       This nuclear brinkmanship has pushed everyone to the edge so hard that the "bad kids" are now laughing about it, yanking the bear’s claws just for fun. What is this circus, anyway?

          (Политреплика:Военно-политический шантаж)

              Встречаются два политолога. Один другому говорит:
              - Слушай ты знаешь что происходит?
              - Я тебе сейчас объясню.
              - Объяснить я тебе и сам могу. Ты мне скажи что происходит?
      

       Сегодня 21 ноября 2024. Украинско-Русско-Американские не отношения, а мочилово зашло давно в тупик. Так себя большие мальчики вести не должны. Достал нож - наноси удар, иначе свой преступный авторитет во дворе больше не восстановить.
       Ядерный шантаж всех уже достал до такого опасного момента, что "поцаны" стали над этим смеяться и дёргают мишку за когти! Это что вообще такое за "Шапито"?

        ORESHNIK* To intercept such a missile, traveling at speeds of Mach 10 (around 3 km per second) with a trajectory striking from space, is a monumental challenge. Hypersonic missiles like this are designed to evade traditional missile defense systems through sheer speed, maneuverability, and unpredictable flight paths. Here's an overview of how militaries are approaching this problem:

1. Advanced Detection Systems

Early Warning Satellites: Detect the launch of hypersonic missiles using infrared sensors that can spot the intense heat signature of a missile’s booster phase.
Over-the-Horizon Radars: Provide long-range detection capabilities to track objects beyond the line of sight, essential for hypersonic missile monitoring.

2. High-Speed Interceptors

Kinetic Kill Vehicles: High-speed interceptors capable of reaching the missile’s speed, designed to physically collide with and destroy it.
Directed Energy Weapons: Lasers or microwave weapons could potentially disrupt or destroy a hypersonic missile in its early boost phase, but these technologies are still in development.

3. Layered Defense Systems

A combination of ground-based interceptors, sea-based Aegis systems, and potentially space-based platforms to create multiple lines of defense.
Boost-Phase Interception: The most vulnerable phase of the missile's flight is during launch. Systems like drones, high-speed aircraft, or advanced anti-missile systems need to strike quickly during this phase.

4. AI and Predictive Algorithms

Since hypersonic missiles can maneuver mid-flight, traditional interception based on predictable trajectories won’t work. AI can analyze real-time data to predict the missile’s flight path and direct interceptors accordingly.

5. Space-Based Defense

Satellites equipped with sensors or even interceptor capabilities are being considered to counter threats directly in space, before the missile reenters the atmosphere.

6. Countermeasures and Deterrence

Enhancing cybersecurity to disrupt the control systems of such missiles.
Investing in offensive hypersonic capabilities as a deterrence measure, ensuring mutual vulnerability.

              The Bottom Line

Currently, no fully reliable defense against hypersonic weapons exists. Developing systems to counter these threats is an ongoing arms race, with leading nations like the U.S., Russia, and China competing to refine both offensive and defensive hypersonic technologies.

The focus is on combining early detection, advanced interception, and deterrence to minimize the threat. However, the speed and unpredictability of hypersonic missiles like Oreshnik make them one of the most formidable challenges in modern military strategy.
      
       The main thing. The strike on Russian territory was carried out by British and US military personnel. The Ukrainian military was unable to use these missiles, since they do not have satellite tracking. This is direct aggression by the US and UK against Russia. Russia fired a warning shot. "Oreshnik", filled with nuclear warheads, can cause damage equal to two hundred "Hiroshimas"
      
       The missile is quite modernized, good, with a range of about 6,000 km, with a separating warhead - 6 or 8, while each is capable of carrying a charge of hundreds of kilotons, which exceeds the total charge dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by 100-200 times. This was a demonstration of a blank that can be in a nuclear warhead. "Oreshnik" is already on combat duty.

              In Conclusion

       Some believe that Donald Trump will end the war. What a naive delusion! Donald Trump represents a kind of "benevolent" evil. (The Russian concept of "доброе зло" can be translated as "benevolent evil" or "virtuous malevolence." These expressions capture the paradox of something appearing well-intentioned or good-natured on the surface while being fundamentally harmful or deceptive in its essence).
      
       It was under his administration that lethal weapons were first supplied to Ukraine. It was he who refused to renew the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in Europe. It was during his presidency that the collective West began deploying depleted uranium munitions in Ukraine. It was Trump who kept the DARPA project alive in the United States. And it is Trump who now assures Americans he will end the war "at any cost"—but always from a position of strength.

       This is why the Russians unveiled their response to America’s veiled rocket "Palyanitsa"(AGM-158 JASSM) with a medium-range "Russian club," symbolically named Oreshnik (Hazel), delivering its non-nuclear strike to a missile factory in the city of Dnepropetrovsk. The colossal kinetic energy of a single missile left nothing but dust where a massive factory once stood.

       And in the aftermath, President Putin invoked the timeless biblical  words of Alexander Nevsky to warn Trump: "He who comes to us with a sword will perish by the sword."

       Many thugs have tried to do this. Surely Americans have heard of Napoleon and Hitler? During the Second World war, the Americans showed up with their material aid—first to Hitler, and then to Stalin, in exchange for gold! And you only rushed to the front lines after the Russians were already closing in on Berlin! Russia paid you back the debt for "material aid" during the war in gold until the end. Do you think that the Russian people have forgotten all this?

       Americans! It’s time for you to pack up and head back home to your own continent. Focus on making your land truly great again—tend to your own backyard. Let the Europeans build their own future, stretching from Lisbon to Russian Alaska!
      
       Do you truly believe that one can negotiate with the Russian people from a position of force?
