Newsweek 13.6.24 Russia's nuclear drills relocated closer to NATO borders this week, in a military district formed after Finland joined the alliance.

Moscow's second stage of drills began on Tuesday alongside Belarusian troops.

The district was announced in February in response to Finland joining the NATO alliance.

Ingress: "The US nuclear forces modernization program has been portrayed to the public as an effort to ensure the reliability and safety of warheads in the US nuclear arsenal, rather than to enhance their military capabilities. In reality, however, that program has implemented revolutionary new technologies that will vastly increase the targeting capability of the US ballistic missile arsenal. This increase in capability is astonishing—boosting the overall killing power of existing US ballistic missile forces by a factor of roughly three—and it creates exactly what one would expect to see, if a nuclear-armed state were planning to have the capacity to fight and win a nuclear war by disarming enemies with a surprise first strike."
