Dead man's switch.

Putin, via biometrics, has to tap a code in to stop an automatic launch of Russia's full nuclear arsenal.

Russians will have time for a couple of large vodkas and a dance, in the eight minutes it takes our missile to hit their targets.

We'll all be molten glass in half that time, when their hypersonic missiles send us to meet our maker.

China, too, has hypersonic missiles and Jinping likely has a similar set up, one of the benefits of being a dictator.

Putin, a few years ago, offered to share the technology with both China and US, during Trump's first stint, as president, in the interests of having a level playing field in weapons talks, but Trump declined, stating the US had it's own programme, which had resulted in successful tests.

It was a bluff, a stupid one at that, as both knew it was untrue and the opportunity passed into the past.

Shortly after that Trump pulled the US out of the arms talks.

Some seeming solutions just aren't.

Praying not! But far too many bad actors, some of whom will work their worst to establish more evil until the Lord returns.

This is a dangerous period of time.

Note: Armstrong Economic's Martin Armstrong has stated 'Socrates', his proprietary computer program with an excellent track record is flagging this time period in May as a starting point for hostilities to expand.

My opinion is there are multiple moving parts.

Neo-Nazis are still retain power in Ukraine.

The US needs to exit NATO (which ceased being relevant with the collapse of the Soviet Union) and cease all expertise-sharing with the Ukraine military. This will still leave the UK and France in a position to cause problems.

German participation is an issue. Apparently the Germans have placed troops in Lithuania. This is the first major deployment outside Germany since 1945. Afghanistan deployment with the US was not significant.

I have seen open source reports of fighter jets patrolling Polish air space in greater numbers than would be expected.

It is possible (likely?) capital controls are coming to the EU, a potential reason for movement of wealth (gold) from the EU putting it out of harms way. Expanded hostilities would create the need for such controls.

I would expect he Russian Federation to have increased security and be well-aware of the potential event(s) written here.

Kirillov warned about jabs. We've no weapons stocked or manpower either, unless they try something else.
