Japan's Defense Minister says he believes North Korea has developed small nuclear warheads designed to fit on ballistic missiles that could reach the country.

Hamada said North Korea has made considerable progress with its nuclear weapons program. The defense minister said he believes the North has miniaturized warheads that can be mounted on medium-range ballistic missiles, such as the Nodong and Scud-ER, which can reach Japan.

Hamada said it has become increasingly difficult to detect signs of the launches of ballistic missiles and shoot them down.
He added that he is giving realistic consideration to the issue, and is not ruling out any options, including the acquisition of counterstrike capabilities.

NATO’s ANNUAL NUCLEAR EXERCISE GETS UNDERWAY:

Air forces from across NATO will exercise nuclear deterrence capabilities involving dozens of aircraft over north-western Europe starting on Monday (17 October 2022). The exercise, which runs until 30 October, is a routine, recurring training activity and it is not linked to any current world events.


Exercise "Steadfast Noon" involves 14 countries and up to 60 aircraft of various types, including fourth and fifth generation fighter jets, as well as surveillance and tanker aircraft. As in previous years, US B-52 long-range bombers will take part; this year, they will fly from Minot Air Base in North Dakota. Training flights will take place over Belgium, which is hosting the exercise, as well as over the North Sea and the United Kingdom. No live weapons are used.

Same thing u denied b4, using the standard of the West to compare to others is slave mentally, the Russians are well aware of the lifestyle of the West, they refuse to live that lifestyle or practice their system. Mater of fact they hate it.

Even if minimum wage is lower In Russia the purchasing power is not the same with the West, Russia has almost all natural resources plus agriculture so things are cheap and others like medicals, housing etc are subsidized. I know pple in Nigeria on 50k salary building house.

Minimum wage in d West is high because, the tax is high, electricity, water, gas bills are all high. Including housing, medicals, education. etc.

I repeat West is not the standard. Remove that mentality from ur brain. If u want to talk about war let's talk about war forget minimum wage
Clearly, the attached pictures in his post shows some European countries in Eastern Europe that are not part of the western bloc paying better than Russia but you ignore that and said they were all West. Even if the wages were adjusted to PPP, majority are still doing better than Putin's Russia. There is a reason Eastern Europeans from places like Hungary, Czech, Romania e.t.c move to other Europe for work and not to Russia. (That is if you have ever travelled to Europe before).

Replace Russia with Nigeria in this your post above and you would see the two countries are very similar. Two corrupt resourve rich countries with a few controlling the oil and gas wealth. How many people in Nigeria are building houses on 50K salary? Lie kill you there.

Truth be told, majority of Nigerians are not very intelligent aside doing yahoo yahoo and you are not an exception. Minimum wage discussion is world affairs. You said another person has a slave mentality yet you enjoying licking Putin arse on this thread.

Even when this results in a nuclear war, the damage that would be inflicted on western nations will be less. Russia will end within 24 hours. Imagine USA, France, Germany sending nukes at the same time to Russia. It will be a total disaster for Russia.


China would be tough but they can be taken down easier than Russia. The US is trying to eliminate the growing influence and significance of Russia and China. Look at it this way, the influence of Russia is been tackled, this is proven by the votes in the UN. Its significance has been reduced when Europe rejects its gas.


The world will surely get used to surviving without Russian fuel and gas and that's the goal of the US.

People are striking in UK and in France. Soon Europe will come back for Russian gas. I only give it this winter.

100% correct.
That's the more reason the war is senseless.
Instead of improving standard of living, the close-to-grave madman Putin is trying to blackmail Europe with gas and redraw some old map.
That's like Nigeria ignoring the poverty capital title ravaging her and then try to invade Benin republic to save Yoruba speakers or Cameroun to save Hausa/Fulani people.

The reason sane folks with no good jobs ran off to smaller countries around Russia to escape being drafted forcefully. They easily make Russian minimum wage of 200 USD in those countries.

If the minimum wage in Russia is $200. Then most Russians are supposed to be homeless by now. Accomodation in Moscow alone is around $200 dollar or more in a month.

Unfortunately, there are no homeless people in Russia. Although, average wages in Russia is very low compare to the West. But their standard of living is almost the same. Average wages in Moscow and St Petersburg is around $800. But PMS, gas (well subsidised) and grain (and other agricultural products)) are extremely cheap compare to the West. In fact the Govt subsidised almost everything in Russia except accomodation in the major cities like Moscow , St Petersburg and Krasnodor.
Thanks for the reply. I appreciate those that don't post without insults. I have not replied the poster saying I have a slave mentality when he himself is slaving to Russia. Pot calling kettle black. grin

See graph of wages across Europe normalized to PPP below. We can learn alot of we put emotions aside. Afterall, there are no Russians or Ukrainians on this thread. Despite gas and maybe food being subsidized and cheaper in Russia, the map below shows one would still be way ahead if they move to those countries with higher income. This is the major reason why you will find lots of Eastern European (Polish, Romanians, Hungarians, Serbians and so on) moving to Places like UK, Germany, Belgium e.t.c for work. They save more and send money back home to family.

Russians know better. The next mobilization will not be announced as the mass desertation of Russia revealed the opinion of the people about that stupid war.
Heard they are forcefully taking immigrant workers to conscription offices. No more grandpas and convicts?
Or is nuclear threat not achieving the disired result.
