Har ju med spänning följt turerna kring Rysslands domedagsmissil Burevestnik ("Stormsvalan") under några år. Så jag kan lika gärna länka till detta (innan artikeln blir låst, vilket jag gissar att den kommer att bli). Rysslands konventionella armé verkar ju vara lite ringrostig, men deras nukleära förmåga verkar det (ännu) inte vara något fel på. Tyvärr!
OK, this was unusual. The content-creator actually *debunks* an apocalyptic rumor, specifically the Russian claim that they can hit the Yellowstone caldera with a nuclear-armed missile and trigger a new eruption of the super-volcano, which would then devastate all of North America.
In reality, even a direct hit with such a missile would at most devastate the Yellowstone national park. But sure, maybe that *is* worth massive MAD-type retaliation? I mean, we can´t let the Rooskees nuke our bisons and wolves, can we now? :D

A breaking story. Most of the GOP don´t seem willing to spend more money on Ukraine. Is this another faction trying to put pressure on the quasi-isolationist House Republicans?
According to Wiki, Mike Turner (also GOP) has connections to the US military and NATO. He is also a de facto lobbyist in Congress for the Baltic republics! I had no idea there was a bipartisan House Baltic Caucus?!
So the answer seems to be "yes": Turner is absolutely attempting to influence the other GOP Congressmen in a more pro-Ukrainian direction.
What´s much less clear is what the Russian threat could be. Could it be some kind of AI capability? My guess would be nuclear-powered cruise missiles, since even a certain Mr Trump considered them a threat, even to the point of bragging that the US might have something similar...
Developing.
