Russia could provide its most advanced hypersonic missiles to Venezuela, amid frayed relations with the United States amid ongoing military attacks from Trump

We’ve been telling you for some time now, that Trump’s oddly-timed ‘war on drugs’ in Venezuela is really just cover for ramping up military action against Venezuela in order to conduct regime change with Maduro. Trump has been able to conduct operations with seeming impunity, and now, Putin is going to raise the ante just a tad by supply Venezuela with hypersonic missiles. This ought to be good.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6 (KJB)

For a man who markets himself as the ‘president of peace’, Trump is sure looking to get into a lot of military ‘conflicts’. We have Venezuela, Mexico, Nigeria overseas, and at home, Trump wants troops on the ground in every major city in all 50 states. It’s a good thing we now have a Department of War, looks like we’re really going to need it. That’s the memo.

Russia open to sending hypersonic missiles to Venezuela

FROM THE TELEGRAPH UK: Alexei Zhuravlyov, the deputy chairman of Russia’s parliamentary defence committee, warned that “the Americans may be in for some surprises” as he opened the door to a weapons transfer to Venezuela. The Kremlin claims the Oreshnik missile is impossible to intercept and can carry conventional and nuclear warheads.

“I see no obstacles to supplying a friendly country with new developments such as the Oreshnik or, let’s say, the well-proven Kalibr missiles,” Mr Zhuravlyov told the Russian news website Gazeta.Ru.

The Oreshnik missile, translating as “hazel tree”, is capable of striking any target across the European continent in under an hour if launched from Russia or Belarus, according to Moscow. Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, has insisted that the missiles are so mighty that using several of them in a strike with conventional warheads would be just as catastrophic as a nuclear attack.

The Oreshnik was first used in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro in November 2024 in what Putin said was a reprisal to Ukraine’s use of long-range weaponry hailing from the US and UK, including Storm Shadow missiles, to hit targets inside Russia.

It is understood Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan president, reached out to Putin personally to plead for military assistance amid increased US military presence in the Caribbean.

Mr Maduro asked for Russia to boost air defences, including restoring Russian Sukhoi Su-30MK2 aircraft already in Venezuela’s possession and acquiring 14 sets of missiles, The Washington Post reported last week.

In a letter to the Russian president, Mr Maduro reportedly said that the Sukhoi fighters were “the most important deterrent the Venezuelan national government had when facing the threat of war”. Caracas also reached out to China and Iran to upgrade its military capabilities and expand defensive ties, according to the paper.

The US deployment in the Caribbean Sea has been swelling for months as Washington dispatched fighter jets, warships, bombers, marines, drones and spy planes in a move that the US president claimed was necessary to sever the flow drugs into the US. More than a dozen US strikes on alleged drug traffickers, most of whom departed from Venezuelan shores, have killed more than 60 people since September. READ MORE

Putin Enters Venezuela’s War Officially? 5,000 Russian Missiles To Defend Maduro From Trump’s Plan

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has announced that his country possesses over 5,000 Russian‑made Igla‑S man‑portable surface‑to‑air missiles, deployed across key air‑defense zones to counter what he described as “imperialist threats” from the United States. Speaking during a televised military ceremony, Maduro claimed the missiles—comparable to U.S. Stinger systems—are positioned “from the last mountain to the last city” to guarantee Venezuela’s sovereignty and peace. The declaration comes as U.S. President Donald Trump intensifies naval and air operations against drug‑trafficking networks in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, actions Caracas has condemned as a prelude to regime‑change. The Russian‑supplied Igla‑S systems can strike drones, helicopters, and low‑flying aircraft within a 6‑kilometer range, making Venezuela’s stockpile one of the largest in Latin America.

Prepare for Russian kamikaze drones to swarm skies above Britain, gov warned as Iranian weapon is unveiled in Parliament

The other day a shocking expression was used to describe the current conflict in Ukraine and Europe, Phase Zero, and it send palpable electricity across the internet. What is Phase Zero in relationship to WWIII? When people talk about ‘Phase Zero’, they’re borrowing a term from U.S. and NATO military doctrine and applying it to the current global tensions. In simpler terms, we are rapidly approaching an inflection point from which there may be no return. Ready or not, it’s coming and that’s the memo.

“Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:” Joel 3:9 (KJB)

The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on now for 1,300 days, and if you’ve been following it, it’s a strange little war. It’s almost the kind of war that you would wage if your real target was something bigger than Ukraine. And I believe that’s what we’re seeing. Putin is waging a war he never seems to actually be trying to win, but instead wants to keep the conflict humming along with the dial perpetually set to ‘medium’. Why would he do that? He might do that if he was using Ukraine as the bait for an all-out war with NATO. I’ve been saying that for nearly two years and today it rings truer than ever. What about that ‘peace in the Middle East’? Hamas has already violated the agreement, has begun executing Gazan civilians, and seem to be rearming for more war.

Putin could deploy 2 MILLION reservists to meatgrinder war with law change – as Trump mulls sending Tomahawks to Ukraine

FROM THE SUN US: It comes just weeks after Russian drones violated Polish airspace and after repeated sightings of unidentified drones in NATO’s skies. Relatively cheap, lethal, and widespread, the drone has become Russia’s weapon of choice against Ukraine. One Shahed-136 costs up to £38,000 – a huge contrast to the cost of a 9M728 Iskander K cruise missile at up to £1.5million.

Since the start of the year, Russia has fired more than 38,000 Shahed drones to wreak havoc in Ukraine – causing devastation on the battlefield and raining hell on civilian targets. With a maximum speed of 180km/h and a range of up to 2,500km, the drones explode when smashing into targets. But officials today warned drones like these could be headed for the UK’s airspace.

MP Tom Tugendhat, senior advisor to United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) and former Minister of State for Security, told The Sun: “That’s exactly what we were preparing for and I’m sure that the current government are continuing to prepare for.

“The reality is these weapon systems are not just targeting Ukraine, they’re not just targeting Poland. They’re being built to intimidate us.

Last month, NATO allies sprang into action after drones from Russia violated Poland’s airspace – an incident Mr Tugendhat believes was no accident. Meanwhile, Denmark, Norway, France and Germany are among the NATO countries where rogue drones have been spotted – sparking massive security concerns. Radek Sikorski, foreign minister and deputy prime minister of Poland, said it exposed a gap in Europe’s defences – and a further incident could have more disastrous consequences.

RUSSIA is preparing to deploy two million reserve soldiers to fight in the meatgrinder war in Ukraine

The Kremlin is planning to change a Russian law that would allow Vladimir Putin to send hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die on the battlefield. It comes as Putin’s battlefield casualties have soared past the bloody one million milestone after 44 months of meatgrinder war. Ukraine’s fierce resistance forced Russia to pay a mighty toll for every inch of land it has taken, and its advances remain painfully slow. The staggering milestone includes troops who have been killed or wounded so severely that they cannot fight on. Despite the devastating losses which have already ripped a scar in Russian society, Putin is preparing to mobilise more men.

The rule change, which is expected to be backed by the Russian parliament, would allow the country’s reservists to be called up for duty even during peacetime. The amendment is being done because Moscow still calls its invasion of Ukraine a “special military operation” and not a war. This currently restricts the Russian military to using up the two million reservists it has, which Russian defence bosses say are “professional soldiers”. Alexei Zhuravlev, deputy chairman of Russia’s parliamentary defence committee, said the force of two million reservists were “professionals in their field” but were currently being unused. READ MORE

Putin Sets The Record For Trump On Syria? Al-Sharaa’s Stunning Video Hints At New Russian Alliance

A new video message from former Syrian Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa has stirred speculation about a deepening Moscow–Damascus axis and a potential signal from President Vladimir Putin to President Donald Trump. In his remarks, Putin stressed that Russia’s stance on Syria is shaped by “the interests of the Syrian people, not politics,” prompting analysts to view it as both a diplomatic assertion and a message to Washington amid shifting Middle East alignments.

Europe on edge as Putin’s forces gather for huge Zapad 2025 war games feared to be potential rehearsal of invasion as UN security council holds emergency meeting following Poland drone ‘attack’

Europe is holding it’s breath right now, and so is NATO, as together they watch a very energized Russia getting ready for their anti-West war games held every four years known as Zapad. Putin sent up a trial balloon earlier this week by launching a fleet of drones over Poland which, of course, were shot down by the Polish army. Russia is threatening war, and Europe believes him. Wars and rumours of wars everywhere you look, welcome to Zapad 2025 that starts today. That’s the memo.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6 (KJB)

Vladimir Putin could have easily won his war with Ukraine, years ago, but that was never his goal. His goal has always been to use the conflict with Ukraine as the bait on the hook to lure NATO into WWIII. While all the other nations, including the United States, plays the ‘short game’, reacting to every nuance, Putin is playing the steely-cold long game, and it is serving him well. If you have ever studied WWI and WWII from a biblical perspective, then you know why WWIII must come. The word ‘Zapad’ means ‘West’, as in the western nations of Europe and the United States. So the ‘Zapad 2025 War Games’ is preparation for war against the West. This is what Russia and Belarus are preparing for, and it’s right in front of your face, clear as day. WWIII is  right around the corner.

NATO’s eastern flank is preparing for Russian war games on its border – with Europe still on high alert from an unprecedented intrusion of drones this week.

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The Kremlin will hold its sabre-rattling Zapad 2025 exercises with Belarus near Poland and Lithuania from Friday until next Tuesday, September 16. The drills come around roughly every four years. The last, in 2021, led to a massive buildup of forces in Belarus that were used to attack Ukraine several months later.

A former NATO official warned this year’s drills ‘could serve as a cover’ for a military build-up, with tens of thousands of troops expected to attend.

Germany’s chief of defence Carsten Breuer said that NATO would ‘be on our guard’ around the drills as NATO chief Mark Rutte said Russia was rapidly rearming. Rutte warned that coordinated attacks from Russia in Europe and China in Asia could trigger World War Three, Putin distracting NATO with an assault in Europe.

Zapad – meaning ‘West’ – is formally a defensive drill. Troops are expected to prepare repelling an attack, including airstrikes and sabotage, per official reports.

But Russia is expected to bring potentially tens of thousands of troops to rehearse, among other things, using its new nuclear-capable missile on Europe’s frontier.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk closed the border with Belarus over the ‘very aggressive’ nuclear drills. Some will take place just a few miles from NATO borders. Poland is still scrambling to respond to an incursion of 19 Russian drones that crossed over into its airspace overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tusk invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty for the 8th time since NATO’s inception on Wednesday.

It serves as a starting point for major operations and will pave the way for consultations around the perceived threat to territory, independence or security. The U.N. Security Council will also hold an emergency meeting at Poland’s request to discuss the drone incursion, the Polish Foreign Ministry said on Thursday. READ MORE

Zapad 2025 Exercises: Poland Closes Border, Shoots Down Russian Drones

Poland is closing its border with Belarus at midnight on Thursday in response to the Russian-Belarusian “Zapad-2025” military exercises, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced. The drills, starting Friday in western Russia and Belarus, involve tens of thousands of troops and include simulations of nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile use. The move comes amid escalating tensions, with Belarus condemning the closure and Lithuania strengthening its border security. Poland has also engaged Russian drones violating its airspace, marking the first direct involvement of Polish and NATO forces. Airports were temporarily closed and debris from downed drones was reported in eastern Poland. NATO and EU officials are monitoring the situation closely as Europe braces for further provocations.
