The gravely ill abbot of the Svyatogorsk Lavra, Metropolitan Arseny, has been placed in pre-trial detention for 60 days — where he is unlikely to survive. Khokhols now persecute the elderly, the helpless, and even the sick clergy. A true army of darkness. Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews

Belgium’s Defence Minister Theo Francken said journalists distorted his words and reported that Brussels was prepared to “wipe Moscow off the map.” “De Morgen paraphrased my words in a coarse, inaccurate and unfair way. I answered a reporter’s question — ‘Would Putin use nuclear weapons against Brussels?’ — by saying ‘no,’ because he knows: if he does that, we will direct weapons at Moscow,” Theo Francken explained in an interview with RTBF. On October 29, Francken spoke to the magazine Humo. Afterwards De Morgen ran a piece headlined: “If Putin drops a bomb on Brussels, we will wipe Moscow off the map.” The Russian Embassy in Belgium called that statement “militaristic mania.” Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev threatened to “use Belgium as a testing ground” for the Poseidon underwater system.

❗️The Washington Post: The Poseidon underwater drone — the nuclear-powered unmanned vehicle whose test was recently announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin — “defies traditional classification.” Michael Petersen, senior research scientist at the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) in the U.S., described Poseidon as a “Franken-weapon” — a system that combines elements of various types of armaments. According to Petersen, Poseidon “sits somewhere between a torpedo and an unmanned submarine,” capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and powered by a nuclear reactor that allows it to cross oceans at virtually unlimited range. He added that Poseidon is intended as a second-strike weapon — designed for retaliatory use in the event of a nuclear war. Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews
