Ok. WTF is going on in Russia? Now I see something called the "Avangard"???
This is the translated caption...
In Russia, the production of hypersonic combat blocs "Avangard" began. The trajectory of the flight of the planning combat unit passes below the minimum height of the interception of the ABM air defense missile systems.Ok. What's going on in Russia? Why are we getting a sudden flurry of combat systems being revealed now?
Details on the site tvzvezda.ru
Are they trying to send a message or is this coincidence?
Sidenote; Still going thru my internet spin around the globe and NOW I read that the Samat ICBM has completed testing. I mean seriously! WTF is going on in Russia!!! What's with this blast of news about new systems?
Sidenote 1; Just found this puppy....
The question remains....WTF is going on???? This means something doesn't it or am I just misreading the whole thing????
Sidenote 2; Finally this thing....
Ok I'm done. Unless they roll out a new tank, helicopter or similar piece of gear I'm not posting it.
Any ideas on why the news dump regarding new weapons?
Russian "ocean multi-purpose system Poseidon".
That is one big ass torpedo!

Buried News. FBI Director: Chinese espionage "most significant" spy threat facing the US
via Free Beacon.
China, rather than Russia, is the “most significant” long-term threat to the United States, FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday.Find the link for yourself to read the whole thing.
During an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt at the Aspen Ideas Forum, Wray said that the FBI has economic espionage investigations in all 50 states that trace back to Chinese activity.
“It covers everything from corn seeds in Iowa to wind turbines in Massachusetts and everything in between,” said Wray.
My point?
The ground where I plant my flag?
This Russia thing is child's play. The serious threat is being ignored. We have a chance to do the work necessary to win the coming fight but instead are distracted by foolishness.
Historians will call us silly and foolish and they'll be right. This is the real news from Wray's talk at the Aspen Ideas Forum but few will report it.
Think about that.
The vaunted FBI Director has told the nation that we face a more serious spy threat from China than Russia and it's not page one news.
We're screwed.

America better get ready for when Russia takes off the "espionage" kit gloves....
So the latest is that the FBI arrested some low level Russian chick for failing to register as an agent for a foreign country.
Awesome.
Low level crime and NOT part of the espionage code. In other words she's not what they're categorizing her as...a spy.
But it does make clear that anyone that has ties to Russia is now a target...how we can not be looking hard at the Chinese is beyond me but politics has its own particular flows I guess...
The point is this.
As much as they like to call the bullshit stuff that Russia did in the run up to the Presidential election an attack they ain't seen nothing yet.
IF the Russians determine that better ties are impossible. IF the Russians decide that they will be treated as a category 1 enemy for the foreseeable future then boy and girls you better saddle up for a real rough ride.
Ask some of the old skool spy guys that sometimes frequent this blog...intel officers but you get the point...
If things go off the rail and if those reasonable folks that know history don't step up and moderate this shit then you will literally start seeing people die some weird deaths. I'm not talking about the Novacheck idiocy in the UK but real deal we don't know how they died killings in and around DC.
I won't even ponder the fate of personnel stationed in Russia.
My bigger point is that this is fun and games but could turn deadly serious in the blink of an eye unless cooler heads prevail and quickly.
Do I fear the Russians?
Nope. Not at all.
Do I respect them as potential foes?
You bet your ass. In a conventional war we would win. But this won't be conventional and we'll be fighting on ground that they're the master of. It will be messy chaotic and depending on how it plays out it could escalate to levels that we're not ready for.
You heard it here first.
