- Putin threatens the West with total nuclear destruction leaving ‘no chance of survival’ in the event of a strike on Russia as he warns his ‘Satan-2’ and ‘Flying Chernobyl’ missiles are ready for use in ranting anti-US speech
- President Vladimir Putin has threatened the West with total nuclear destruction, leaving ‘no chance of survival’ in the event of a strike on Russia.
- In a ranting anti-US speech, the dictator said his powerful ‘Satan-2’ and ‘Flying Chernobyl’ missiles are ready for deployment in an ominous doomsday warning.
- Putin told a conference in Sochi: ‘From the moment the launch of missiles is detected, no matter where it comes from – from any point of the world ocean or from any territory – such a number, so many hundreds of our missiles appear in the air in a retaliatory strike that there is no chance of survival there will be no single enemy left, and in several directions at once.’

- Putin asked the West to understand that threats against Russia are ‘absolutely unacceptable for any potential aggressor’.
- He also repeated that Moscow may withdraw from the nuclear test ban treaty.

- Nuclear war is the ‘inevitable’ conclusion of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a Russian general who wrote the nation’s ‘war bible’ has warned.

Important Takeaways:
- The BRICS grouping of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa will add six nations to its ranks next year, as Beijing and Moscow push for the loose collection of emerging economies to evolve into a robust counterweight to Western global dominance.
- Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will join as members in January
- For Beijing and Moscow, adding members is part of a long-running — and often frustrated — effort to turn a largely symbolic grouping into a vehicle for remolding international trade and finance structures to protect their interests against future sanctions from the United States and its allies.
- Sanctions targeting Russia over the war in Ukraine have added urgency to China’s effort to create alternative global financial structures and supply chains resilient to Western disruption.
- China and Russia have found some developing nations more receptive to their concerns about American dominance, which is part of the motivation for more members
- The war and China-U.S. trade tensions mean that Washington has shifted its focus to the Group of Seven and is less interested in the Group of 20, creating an opportunity for BRICS to become a better platform for large developing countries to speak up
- The “China-U.S. contest may still be locked in a stalemate, but the end result is inevitable”

Important Takeaways:
- With Prigozhin’s death, there’s no sign Putin is losing control
- Putin’s longtime associate and the leader of the mercenary Wagner Group, was most certainly eliminated on the orders of the Godfather of the Kremlin.
- Prigozhin and Chekalov, were both listed on the manifest of the doomed flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg, where the Wagner Group is headquartered, that killed 10 passengers.
- There are reports that the plane was shot down
- Prigozhin may or may not actually have been on the plane, however. He, and perhaps Chekalov as well, may simply have been assassinated elsewhere. For convenience sake, a plane crash would have provided excellent cover for their elimination.
- Yevgeny Prigozhin’s death hardly comes as a surprise; the only issue was when it would occur.
- It perhaps it is no coincidence that, a few hours before Prigozhin’s death, the Kremlin announced that General Sergei Surovikin (whose nickname is “General Armageddon”), viewed by many observers as a Prigozhin ally, had been fired as head of Russia’s Air Forces.
- The combination of Prigozhin’s death and Surovikin’s firing are certainly a message to Putin’s potential internal opponents that they should think twice before acting against him.
