The Art of War
Putin's warning:
The new Russian nuclear
weapons
Manlio Dinucci
The President Putin’s speech on the State of the Nation, dedicated to domestic and international issues,
aroused little political-media interest and some ironic remarks in Italy. Yet
it should be listened to with great attention.
Avoiding diplomatic roundabout
expressions, Putin lays his cards on the table. He denounces the fact that in
the past 15 years the United States fueled the nuclear arms race, trying to
acquire a strategic advantage over Russia.
This is confirmed by the
Federation of American Scientists: through revolutionary technologies, the US
has tripled the destructive capability of their nuclear attack ballistic
missiles.
At the same time - Putin
underlines - the US withdrew from the ABM Treaty and deployed a global system
of "missile defense" to neutralize the Russian ability to retaliate
against a nuclear first strike.
In the wake of NATO’s
expansion to the East, they installed missile sites in Romania and Poland,
while other launching systems (not only of interceptor missiles but also of attack
missiles) are on 18 warships dislocated in areas close to the Russian
territory.
Russia
had many times warned the United States and European NATO member states that
reciprocal measures would be taken in response to the deployment of the US
global missile defense system.
Russia has many times warned the United States and European NATO member states that, in response to this deployment, it would have taken counter-measures. "But no one was listening to us, so listen now," warned Putin. He then passes to the language of force, the only one evidently understood in Washington.

After recalling that after
the fall of the USSR, 44.6% of its military potential and that
the US and its allies were convinced that it would no longer be able to rebuild
it, Putin shows up, on two large screens, the new types of strategic weapons
developed by Russia:
- A cruise missile launched
from the air armed with a nuclear warhead, with practically unlimited range
being powered by nuclear energy, an unpredictable course and the ability to
penetrate through any anti-missile defense.
- Kinzhal and Avangard missiles with
hypersonic speed (over 10 times that of sound).
- The 200-ton Sarmat
intercontinental ballistic missile on a mobile platform, with a range of 18,000
km, armed with more than 10 nuclear warheads maneuvering at hypersonic speed to
escape interceptor missiles.
- A submarine drone faster
than a torpedo that, powered by nuclear energy, covers intercontinental
distances at great depths, hitting coastal ports and fortifications with a
large-scale nuclear warhead.
Putin reveals the
characteristics of these weapons because he knows that the United States is
developing similar weapons and wants to warn them that Russia is now at their
level or at a higher level.
This confirms that the
nuclear arms race takes place not on quantity but, increasingly, on the quality
of weapons, that is on the type of vectors and on the offensive capabilities of
nuclear warheads.
At the same time, it
confirms the growing danger we are running, because of U.S. nuclear weapons and
strategic stations, such as the MUOS and the JTAGS in Sicily, deployed on our
territory.
Russian Foreign Minister
Lavrov, denounces that "non-nuclear European NATO member states, in grave violation
of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, are trained by the U.S. in the use of tactical
nuclear weapons against Russia".
The warning is clear, for
Italy too. But none of the main parties took note of this, erasing any
reference to NATO and nuclear weapons from the electoral campaign, with a sort
of tacit agreement. As if this had nothing to do with our future and our life
itself.
