Russia probably IS at about DEFCON 1.5 with 0 being launch.
Defcon levels are not national in the U.S., if ONE base abroad goes to defcon 2 it does not mean Norad will. The U.S. still is officially at Defcon 3-4 despite some bases going to defcon 2. I don't know where Norad sits right now. I think the whole country should be at Defcon 2 but you know who's "running the country". OR NOT.
Russia does not use the DEFCON system, but if they did, that's approximately where they would be. However, IF it trips from 1 to zero that will happen instantly, there are no shades of gray.
More war updates
HALF OF CONGRESS HAS BUGGED OUT AND IS NOT IN THE COUNTRY. Where did they go? a lot of them, including Pelosi, bugged out to ISRAEL. AIPAC canceled their April 2022 meeting OVER A YEAR AGO. Why? was the entire scenario mapped out? Did the Corona plot expire a couple months early?? HOW DID THEY PULL THIS OFF? I HAVE SEEN NO NEWS ABOUT PELOSI BUGGING OUT, BUT RIGHT WHEN RUSSIA TOOK ACTION SHE HAD A MEETING SCHEDULED AT THE KNESSET AND SPOKE THERE. THIS SEEPED THROUGH THE CRACKS ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINMENT VESSEL.
The propaganda has gone SO over the top now that it's a subject in itself.
First of all, Putin is not weak, and Putin is not defeated. Word on the street is that Putin used his junk at first and will pull out the good stuff if NATO attacks. And it seems legit, there were a few good cruise missiles used but most of what got used really was not Russia's best.
I have seen lots of crap about Russian tech being "50 years behind the United States" and it is always from a war monger that probably wants Americans to believe victory will be easy. But even if America's tech is better, it is going to be used by a military that was recently maimed by a death vax. The playing field is probably quite level.
50 years is a lie to boot.Russia's tech would not be "50 years behind America" even if they never updated a Mig 29, which is their 80's plane that's damn near abandoned. Their tech in reality is a mix of "30 years behind" with a nice pile of "15 years behind" all the way up to "Ahead of the United States" when it comes to anti aircraft systems and cruise missiles. Does your 15 year old computer still do the job? With modern warfare systems, I don't think 15 years matters when the tools are in the right hands, 30 years does, but not 15. Lots of America's military stuff in use right now is a mix of the same - some of what America uses is 40 years old too. But it was so far ahead of Russia at that time that 40 years is not a deal breaker.
The bottom line is I don't think Russia's stuff is outdated enough for it to even be a factor. What WILL be a factor is how it gets used and whether or not it can be hacked.
SWIFT BAN TO COMMENCE AT 1 AM Eastern time if Russia does get banned.
The propaganda is in overdrive. I am trying to filter the BS. As usual I will correct any errors that are made.
American in Kiev hotel explains the B.S. in America's MSM from the perspective of being in Ukraine. 20 minutes, well worth it.
COMPLETELY UNCONFIRMED RUMOR: A large number of U.S. warships have entered the Taiwan strait.
Financial director for Gazprom - Russia's largest company - committed suicide???? DOUBT IT, but that won't make him less dead.
JIMMY SCHUTO TO WOLF BLITZER ON LIVE TV: WOLF: "The Ukranian forces are doing a great job of slowing down the Russian army" Jimmy: "Yes, it has caused the Russians to outrun their supply lines". You can't make this stuff up!!! When fighting a war, make sure you don't kick butt so bad your supply lines can't keep up!!! Yes, the truth has a way of seeping through the cracks.
Credit cards that draw from Russian banks have been reported to have stopped working abroad, but they still work in Russia.
TWO DAYS AGO REPORT THAT UKRAINE BLEW A DAM IN A FALSE FLAG BLAMING RUSSIA.
THAT WAS WRONG. RUSSIA BLEW THE DAM BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT FOR THE EXPLICIT PURPOSE OF CUTTING WATER OFF TO CRIMEA, WHICH DESTROYED THEIR AGRICULTURE AND LIMITED WATER USAGE IN RESIDENCES TO 4 HOURS PER DAY. So blowing the dam was GOOD NEWS and Russia took full credit for it.
There is a rumor that a Russian army major has been captured in an ambush, but the rumor might be morale boosting crap for Ukraine.
Two different journalists in different cities - a French journalist in Donetsk and a rumored second I have not been able to track down yet have witnessed Ukranians shelling their own people (what's new? That's a big reason why Putin went in) - - - NEW is that now they are blaming Russia because Russia is there to blame. REPEAT: This story is obviously true and is probably happening "everywhere" because Ukraine has been shelling it's own people for most of 10 years now. That's so "not new" that trolls claiming the reporters are lying look stupid.
Ukranian soldiers are blocking roads and preventing people from leaving some of the cities now. "Human shields??? or draft fodder?
