Russia Signals U.S. by Deploying the Satan II Nuclear Missle System

No doubt, it sounds scary, and it is, but is there a chance it will blow up during launch.

It can reach the United Kingdom in three minutes — in theory. No one knows for sure, and we, of course, don’t want to find out. Russia has reportedly put the Satan II missile system on “combat duty,” which means it is moved a step closer to being deployed and pushing the world toward a nuclear holocaust.

The missile, which is also known as Satan II, has a range of 18,000 kilometers (11,000 miles) and can deliver between 10 to 15 nuclear warheads at a hypersonic speed. It is capable of reaching Britain in three minutes. The report added that it could also bypass most radar and missile defense systems.

Earlier, Colonel-General Sergei Karakayev, the commander of Russia’s strategic missile forces, also told Russian state TV that “there is no existing air defense for the Sarmat missile systems, and it will probably not exist in the coming decades (Putin Threatens to Deploy).”

The people making such decisions in Russia are not sane. A war started on false pretenses is slowly devolving Russia into a has-been power. The weaker and more chaotic Russia becomes due to its self-inflicted mistakes, the closer the world moves toward a moment of no return. Maybe it is a reason to stalk up on bottled water, batteries, and canned goods. But we still might have some time before things degrade to that point.

There is some hope that these missiles, for as advanced as they are in the world of military weaponry, might not work. It’s a big risk that no world leader should take without having much more information about the likelihood of failure upon launch. Still, Russia’s recent past, especially the present, offers us many well-articulated clues about future acts in Russia.

All of Russia is a Potemkin Village

There is nothing real in Russia. The “glory” of its so-called warriors is fake. There is nothing glorious about raping, murdering, and thieving slaves, and that pretty much sums up the entire Russian military today. The Russian soul lacks an understanding of honor. While there are undoubtedly many instances of good Russians, the moment they assume their “collective personality,” they lose any sense of morality or dignity.

If we are looking for proof that the Satan II missile could fail, we need look no further than the three-ring circus that is the Russian military today. Everything the world thought it knew about Russia’s military on February 23rd, 2022, has been proven wrong. Russia’s military is only strong because it is big; otherwise, the Swiss Guard responsible for protecting the Pope could beat a Russian regiment in a battle.

The following proof can be found in the recent crash of the Lunar-25 moon craft. Russia pumps a lot of money into Roscosmos. It aspires to be a world leader in space, and in many respects, before Putin seized Russia, it was. The joint space station (United States, Russia, Canada, and Japan) is still a feat of technology that can be a symbol of pride for Russia; the space station, however, was imagined and launched before Putin took over — before the virus was injected.

Why did the military turn out to be such a Three Stooges episode? Why did the Lunar-25 so ceremoniously blow up? Putin’s type of leadership punishes genuinely intelligent, loyal people and defaults to sycophants who accept their role as pawns in the vast system of legalized corruption. An incorruptible scientist, military officer, or university professor can’t be trusted. It is someone who is watching and keeping tabs on everyone else.

It is a person who can then point the finger of blame at the real cause of the problem — “The tanks didn’t work because so-and-so stole most of the money for the premium diesel. Instead, he used recycled fuel mixed with water and pocketed the leftover money.”

When seven people out of ten in the state’s employ are stealing, it’s the status quo. To not steal means that professionals dedicated to their craft often will not rise to leadership positions. Leadership could be overseeing a project such as the Lunar-25 or leading an army into a neighboring country. Political appointees exist everywhere. The ones put in place by Bush in Iraq and most of Trump’s aides were hacks who shouldn’t have been entrusted with hanging off the back of a garbage truck.

Nonetheless, the U.S. is a system that thrives on stimulating the best brains available. Leaders in the United States don’t fear an expert; they instead look at a genius as someone who helps them advance. The leader in the U.S. will do everything he can to support the expert, but in Russia, the leader will push aside and even fire the expert who speaks a truth that may contradict that of the president (or the boss, the director, etc.).

Putin wanted Kyiv in four days — of course, we can take it. However, the experts in the Army were more than likely stirring up a lot of commotion when Shoigu allocated 120,000 troops for the conquering of Ukraine — 120,000, as we now know, was about 880,000 troops too few to beat Ukraine in 2022. But Putin said, “Let’s do it,” they tried and failed. The same goes for the Lunar-25. The mission was put together in record time, and the hope was that it would distract the Russian public’s attention from the ass-kicking in Ukraine. Instead, the Lunar-25 went boom.

It starts early

I taught at a university in St. Petersburg for two years offline, and since COVID began, I have continued online. I recall what happened during my first semester after giving the student’s grades to the dean of my faculty. Five of my forty students had earned failing grades. Simply put, they never attended my lectures and only handed in the final project on the last day of class.

The dean told me I couldn’t fail four kids because their parents were too important to the university. The fifth kid, who was not paying for his education because his test scores were so high that his tuition was waived, could fail.

After digging, I learned that the parents of the four kids were paying tuition to the university and a little extra to the deans and the university rector to ensure that their kids “never failed.” The system needed them to graduate with the vaunted “red diploma,” which most people in Russia know is seldom earned without a bribe or parents paying fat tuitions.

This practice filters through the entire system in Russia, which is why, quite often, the best and brightest minds in Russia are, in theory, the worst students. My wife was a straight-A student for five years at the university but could not pay a bribe to her professor, so she did not get a “red diploma.”

The red diploma is the deciding factor when applying for graduate school or entering special higher-education programs like at Russia’s “Silicon Valley” knock-off in Moscow: The Skolkovo Innovation Center. I can tell you one thing about Skolkovo, an institute launched under Medvedev: nothing is innovative about this place. It is where innovation goes to die. The children of the sycophantic elite are the “best and brightest” of the country. They continue in the footsteps of their “dopey but politically loyal” parents and lead armies in ambushes and lunar crafts into oblivion.

If you try to do a good, honest job in Russia, you will pay for it. If you worship Putin and steal, you will be rewarded, but you also build a shelf-life for yourself. By taking, you are signing over your rights to live, and when the system deems it necessary, you will be discarded without hesitation.

This is the lay of the land, and this is why so little actually ever works in Russia the way it is advertised it will.

Will the Satan II missile make it to London in 3 minutes? To be honest, I have my doubts.
