(End of the American Dream)—For a moment, I would like you to imagine what the perfect cruise missile would look like. It would have to be so evasive that no missile defense system on Earth could intercept it. It would also have to possess unlimited range so that it could hit any potential target on the entire planet. In addition, it would also have to be capable of carrying a nuclear warhead so that it could serve as the ideal nuclear deterrent. What I have just described may sound like a fantasy, but now it actually exists.
Needless to say, the United States does not have such a weapon.
But the Russians do.
According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, his military has just successfully tested a new nuclear-powered missile called “the Flying Chernobyl”…
VLADIMIR Putin claims Russia has test-launched a new nuclear-powered missile dubbed the “Flying Chernobyl” – and has vowed it will soon be ready for war.
The Russian president said his menacing 9M730 Burevestnik missile – assigned the codename “Skyfall” by Nato – was a “weapon of unlimited range powered by a nuclear engine”.
This isn’t just another missile.
Once you understand what it is capable of, you quickly realize that it has the potential to change everything.
The 9M730 Burevestnik looks like a normal cruise missile, but inside it has a compact nuclear reactor which could allow it to remain in the air “for weeks or even months without refueling”…
Visually, the Burevestnik resembles a traditional cruise missile, with folding wings for compact launch storage. It launches from a ground platform using a solid-fuel booster, then switches to an air-breathing nuclear-powered jet engine once it reaches cruising speed. In theory, this engine heats incoming air via a compact nuclear reactor, allowing the missile to stay airborne for weeks or even months without refueling.
Sources estimate the missile’s operational range at 22,000km, though in practice it may be virtually unlimited. Such a missile could patrol potential conflict zones indefinitely, awaiting launch commands. Upon receiving orders, it could maneuver toward targets from unpredictable vectors, making interception extraordinarily difficult.
You can’t destroy a missile before it is fired if it is never on the ground.
And a missile that can stay in the air “for weeks or even months” could theoretically attack from any direction. That is a nightmare for military planners.
And it would be exceedingly difficult to perform a successful surprise first strike on an adversary that already has “a guaranteed retaliatory strike” already in the air…
During the October 21 test, according to Russia’s top brass, the missile remained airborne for several hours, covered 14,000km, and executed vertical and horizontal maneuvers associated with defense evasion profiles.
Effectively, the Burevestnik is designed to serve as a ‘doomsday weapon’ – a guaranteed retaliatory strike platform in the event of nuclear war.
The 9M730 Burevestnik flies so fast and it is so evasive that it would be almost impossible to shoot it down.
So we are talking about a weapon with unlimited range that can hit us from any direction and that we have no realistic hope of intercepting.
One Russian official was certainly not exaggerating when he called it an “absolutely new class” of weapon…
The Russian leader also claimed it was invulnerable to current and future missile defenses, due to its almost unlimited range and unpredictable flight path.
Kirill Dmitriev, a top Putin aide who was in the U.S. as the video surfaced, said his delegation informed U.S. colleagues of the “successful testing” of the Burevestnik, which he said was an “absolutely new class” of weapon.
Of course this is not the only thing that the Russians have been working on.
Less than a year ago, we saw what the new Oreshnik missile is capable of doing.
And according to leaked documents, the Russians have recently placed large production orders for a number of other highly advanced missile systems…
The report lists the following procurement data:
303 Iskander-K (9M728) cruise missiles.
1,202 Iskander-M (9M723) ballistic missiles in multiple variants.
18 new 9M723-2 missiles, possibly the “Iskander-1000”, with a range of 500–1,000 km.
95 9M729 missiles, featuring an extended range of over 2,000 km.
690 Kalibr (3M14) missiles ordered between 2022–2026, including 56 special 3M14S nuclear variants.
1,225 Kh-101 air-launched cruise missiles.
188 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles.
Up to 240 Zircon (3M22) hypersonic missiles scheduled for 2024–2026.
32 “Product 506” (Kh-BD) next-generation cruise missiles.
In total, the leaked records indicate that Russia plans to field around 2,500 new missiles by the end of 2025, confirming a sustained and methodical expansion of its strategic and tactical strike capacity.
The Russians are clearly preparing for the kinetic phase of World War III.
Are we?
On Russian television, pundits are constantly talking about conducting missile strikes on western targets. Here is just one example…
Russia has issued an urgent warning to the UK over the potential of an “overwhelming” nuclear strike if NATO countries supply Ukraine with long-range weapons. A journalist made the stark warning on Russian state media, explaining that the attack would involve air and sea-launched cruise missiles on a “massive scale”.
A video posted on the Russian Media Monitor YouTube page, which supplies clips broadcast by Russian state media, shows military expert Mikhail Khodaryonok outlining the potential Russian response if Western European nations supported Kyiv with long-range weapons. He claimed that the West is “forcing” the Kremlin into taking extreme measures.
We would be wise to settle the war in Ukraine peacefully while we still can.
Unfortunately, President Trump has accused Vladimir Putin of “wasting his time” and is refusing to even meet with him until the Russians are willing to make the sort of compromises that western leaders want…
DONALD Trump is “disappointed” in Vladimir Putin and has ruled out meeting the tyrant until he stops “wasting his time”.
The US president says there will be no in-person summit unless the Russian despot can prove he is serious about wanting peace in Ukraine.
Of course the Russians are not inclined to make major concessions because they are winning the war.
In fact, there are reports that thousands of Ukraine’s best troops have just been encircled, but the Ukrainian government is disputing this…
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy refuted Russia’s information about the encirclement of 5,000 Ukrainian servicemen in the Kupyansk and Pokrovsk directions, calling it a lie aimed at the United States. He noted that enemy activity in these directions this week was lower, and Ukrainian troops are in control of the situation.
If this war continues to drag on, it is just a matter of time before Russia and NATO are directly fighting one another.
Once we reach that stage, we will literally be on the verge of nuclear war.
President Trump must not allow that to happen.
Speaking of nuclear war, three citizens of China have just been arrested for trying to illegally purchase 4.4 pounds of uranium…
Three Chinese citizens have been arrested in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi, while attempting to illegally purchase 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of uranium, the country’s State Security Service said Saturday.
The suspects planned to transport the nuclear material to China through Russia, the security service said in a statement, while also releasing video footage of the detention operation.
“Three Chinese citizens have been detained in Tbilisi while attempting to illegally purchase 2 kilograms of nuclear material — uranium,” the agency said, adding that members of the criminal group planned to pay $400,000 (344,000 euros) for the radioactive material.
Wow.
Were these three individuals working for the Chinese government? And why were they planning to transport this uranium to China?
Even more importantly, what did they plan to do with it?
For decades, we have been warned about the dangers of nuclear weapons. Sadly, I believe that we live at a time when they will actually be used.
The clock is ticking my friends, but for the moment ignorance is still bliss for the vast majority of the population.

Why the National Debt Is the Looming Threat to Your Retirement Plans
The Hidden Crisis No One Is Talking About
Every day, headlines warn about inflation, market volatility, and global instability—but the greatest looming threat to your retirement might be something far more fundamental: America’s skyrocketing national debt.
You can learn more about how the national debt affects you by reading this 3-minute report titled, “Debt Will Hit $40T in 2026: Prepare Your Retirement Now“.
With debt growing faster than most Americans can possibly fathom, the government’s borrowing habits have reached historic—and dangerous—levels. To cover spending, Washington is making moves with their budget packages, tariffs, and taxes. Is it enough? No. It’s not even close to what would be necessary to stop out-of-control debt, let alone reverse it.
How Debt Erodes Your Nest Egg
There are only so many levers government and the Federal Reserve can pull to try to protect Americans, assuming that’s even a top priority for them. Unfortunately, pulling one level to relive one pressure invariably adds pressure from another direction. This is why prices keep going up even as inflation reportedly slows.
For retirees and pre-retirees, that’s a perfect storm. The dollars you’ve worked hard to save lose value, and your cost of living increases while your investments lag behind.
If you’re relying solely on paper-based assets—stocks, bonds, or mutual funds—you’re essentially tied to the same system that’s creating the problem. It’s a system that was designed to work well in the 20th century, not in today’s world with people living longer and the dollar rapidly losing value.
This is why the 3-minute report, “Debt Will Hit $40T in 2026: Prepare Your Retirement Now,” is so important.
The Precious Metals Hedge
Thousands of Americans are looking for a tangible, time-tested hedge: physical gold and silver.
Unlike paper assets, precious metals aren’t dependent on government policy or the stock market’s mood swings. They’re real, finite resources that have maintained value for thousands of years through wars, recessions, and inflationary periods.
In fact, during times of high inflation and fiscal instability, gold often performs its best—because it’s seen as a store of value when faith in the dollar weakens. This is why prices have skyrocketed this year and are expected by many economists to continue going up in the future.
Take Control with a Gold IRA
One of the most effective ways to protect your retirement from national debt fallout is through a self-directed Gold IRA. This IRS-approved account lets you hold physical gold and silver within your retirement portfolio, giving you:
- Direct ownership of your assets
- A hedge against inflation and dollar decline
- The control to diversify beyond Wall Street
Augusta Precious Metals specializes in helping Americans just like you take this step with confidence. The company has earned a strong reputation for transparency, education, and personalized service—making it one of the most trusted names in the industry.
The Next Step: Secure Your Financial Future
Augusta Precious Metals has helped thousands of Americans with at least $50,000 to invest from their IRAs, 401(K)s, TSPs, and other retirement accounts safeguard their savings through precious metals.
If you’re concerned about what the rising national debt could mean for your future, now is the time to act.
Read this 3-minute report titled, “Debt Will Hit $40T in 2026: Prepare Your Retirement Now“ and learn the simple steps you can take to protect your retirement.
So…like many russian claims…it runs on hot air?
We claimed within 2 months of the war that Russia was running out of fuel and rations, and that Putin would be removed.
Russia should be treated with respect, instead of encircled and harassed.
Yes, it is a very odd fact that Americans and Europe are determined to have war with Russia when it has done nothing but act peacefully and look out for its own security interests. The Soviet Union, home of communism, collapsed decades ago and the Russians are all now inoculated against it because the lived the nightmare. Meanwhile, Americans and Europeans led by Ivy League and Frankfurt School metrosexual dimwits lust to turn their countries into the New Communist Soviet Union. Putin is the wisest and most serious leader of all the nations in the world now. I hope he wins.
ALERT!: CLICK BAIT FEARMONGERING for AD REVENUE.
The Russian version of project Pluto, with the same drawbacks, it irradiates all it flies over.
Interesting that you say that when you have zero knowledge of it. Do you always do that?
unless the Russian despot.” Might I remind you, you’re calling the #1 military power in the world names?
Go Putin. Now take Europe and destroy NATO. America leave Europe to Russia and Asia to China. Perhaps then we’ll just have to pick fights with South America. Venezuela, anyone?
What a complete load of manure
Hmm, since it doesn’t have a nuckear warhead, but is nuclear powered, it becomes a dirty bomb upon impact…
i heard the global satellite string can track it via its radiation signature, some unknown source will bring the cruise missile down and the west will have a good look at it
“You heard”. Therefore, whatever follows is pure BS.
If the whole world was destroyed, it would be by the hands of the Russians, and or the communist Chinese, they have a mad man mentality.
You fall for the Russian propaganda all the time. Don’t you read Russian history?
