I listened to Postel only yesterday, his counsel was wise shall we say, as was his praise of Putin compared to the maniacs in DC, Brussels and London.

I heard little from him about Russia's latest anti-ballistic weapons platform, which officially entered service this year in very limited numbers, i.e., no more than 5 or 6 units, these units comprise one missile launch unit comprising two tubes, unlike the S-400 that has four tubes. Further, a minimum 4 other radar units are deployed, each platform as large as the S-500 platform. This new system is able to counter hypersonic missiles, nuclear warheads from MIRVs and space-based systems.

Whilst the present S-400's are competent and are known to be superior to the US Patriot system, i.e., they actually work, a more credible deterrence would be available if far more of the new systems were operationally deployed to protect key military infrastructure.

In reality, its lunacy to think of entertaining war with Russia, never mind China, given the destruction of any serious manufacturing process to support warfare as witness in Ukraine by the combined West, meaning, Western planners from the onset are looking at a limited nuclear strike, which Putin has stated repeated would lead to an actual nuclear annihilation and he ain't shitting around. China too is not sitting back and its navy is already larger than that of the USA, although much of this is outdated - they are presently changing this fact rapidly, something not lost on the USA. God knows why South Korea or Japan would want to associate with NATOstan maniacs given the disrespect they have for Asians in general.
