MOSCOW, February 28. /TASS/. Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu reported to Russia’s President Vladimir Putin that the alert teams of the command posts of the Strategic Missile Force, the Northern and Pacific Fleets switched to enhanced combat alert, the Defense Ministry reported on Monday.
"Defense Minister of the Russian Federation Army General Sergey Shoigu reported to Russian Supreme Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin that in accordance with his decree, the alert teams of the command posts of the Strategic Missile Force, the Northern and Pacific Fleets and the military command of long-range aviation had switched to enhanced combat alert," the ministry said.
The Russian leader said at a meeting with Defense Minister Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov in the Kremlin on February 27 that "top officials of leading NATO countries also allow themselves to make aggressive pronouncements towards our country" and thus ordered to put the Russian Army’s deterrence forces on high alert. The Kremlin meeting took place amid Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine. Moscow commenced the operation in response to a request from the heads of the Donbass republics for assistance.
The Russian strategic deterrence forces are intended to deter aggression against Russia and its allies and rout an aggressor in a war with the use of various armaments, including nuclear weapons. They comprise the strategic offensive and defensive forces.
The Russian strategic offensive forces armed with intercontinental missile and airborne systems are based on the strategic nuclear forces that embrace the Strategic Missile Force. They also comprise strategic conventional forces as dual-purpose troops: units and formations of strategic and long-range bombers, and also submarines, surface ships and Russian naval missile-carrying aircraft with long-range conventional precision weapons.
The Russian strategic defensive forces are based on combat-ready troops of the Aerospace Force that integrates the missile attack early warning system, the space control system, the anti-ballistic missile, space and air defense systems.
That rivalery and not so benevolent acts happens between even close allies. Like US spying on Merkel and so on.
Discussing the more shitty things that the PRC has done would get very political and heated super fast. So pass.
Suffice to say I don't find China's track record particularly impressive. Maybe a tiny bit better than the US one but that isn't saying much.
guess he does not have to worry since Russia will take care of it for them
LMAO didn't some fake news claim Valery Gerasimov got fired? This is either 4D chess from Putin to make them look like lying fools, or shows the limitations of Russian information management.

Yes, it is very very risky, I agree, and I even stated that in one of my previously posts.
However, Russia is a large nuclear power with a huge land mass and a traditionally very tenacious people. I think the war/operations of Putin is more of a complex geopolitical game. He saw his opportunities:
-> he saw Biden and Europe's willingness in NOT sending NATO troops to confront him in Ukraine.
-> he saw the US huge inflation problem, unprecedented debt level, as well as the oceans of printed dollars that is aching for aggressive quantitative tightening.
-> he saw forces and potentials in Europe for a right-leaning, away-from-internationalism-and-back-to-nationalism trend.
-> he saw China's assertiveness and ambitions both in the maritime Indo-Pacific as well as the Eurasian overland OBOR.
-> he saw the divided America, with a powerful internal voice for a neo-isolationism.
He saw all of these, and he dared to take the risk.
A great man he is, indeed.
