🇺🇸 The US Army's nuclear missile arsenal and associated infrastructure are seriously outdated and require updating, The Wall Street Journal reports. According to the publication, the Pentagon estimates the cost of upgrading hundreds of missile silos with nuclear warheads at $141 billion. It is also noted that the replacement of intercontinental ballistic missiles is envisaged as part of the Sentinel ICBM production program. The article says that recent statements from U.S. military officials and contractors indicate that efforts to extend the life of the nuclear arsenal have reached their limits. The missiles housed in more than 450 silos expired decades ago after their expected 10-year lifespans. The underground silos require thousands of miles of new fiber-optic cables, and the command centers that control the missiles are in need of renovation. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

Moreover, the second one can be launched from a transport and launch container (TLC), which actually makes it more similar to the Israeli drone. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

"For all our common enemies now, he is Russian—and therefore unpredictable and dangerous. Of a different blood." Pavel Durov miscalculated when he thought his biggest problems were in Russia and chose to live abroad, said former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Post from Maria Zakharova on the arrest of Pavel Durov: "The Russian embassy in Paris, as is expected in cases of receiving information about the detention of Russian citizens by the local side, immediately got down to work. There is no need to remind our diplomats of their functional responsibilities. I just remembered how in 2018, a group of 26 NGOs, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Freedom House, Reporters Without Borders, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and others, condemned the Russian court's decision to block Telegram. Similar statements were also made in the West (1, 2, 3, 4). They said all this because on July 1, 2018, the Yarovaya Law came into force in Russia, obliging telecommunications operators to store records of telephone messages and Internet traffic of their clients for six months, as well as keys for decrypting users' correspondence and provide them to the FSB of Russia upon request. There were legislative claims against Telegram that existed in many countries in connection with the technical parameters of the encryption system. These Western NGOs called on the Russian authorities to stop creating obstacles to Telegram. They appealed to the UN, the Council of Europe, the OSCE, the European Union, the United States and other governments to resist Russia's actions and protect the fundamental rights of freedom of expression and privacy. They also called on Internet companies to resist unfounded and illegal demands that violate the rights of their users. They demanded that the Russian authorities guarantee the rights of Internet users to publish and anonymously view information on websites, emphasizing that any restrictions must be sanctioned by a court and fully comply with the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights. At the same time, Durov remained at large all this time, continuing to develop Telegram. I am publishing a screenshot of all the Western specialized structures that spoke out then, including with a collective appeal. Do you think that this time they will appeal to Paris and demand Durov's release, or will they swallow their tongues?"

Pavel Durov left Russia when the government tried to control his social media company, Telegram. But in the end, it wasn’t Putin who arrested him for allowing the public to exercise free speech. It was a western country, a Biden administration ally and enthusiastic NATO member, that locked him away. Pavel Durov sits in a French jail tonight, a living warning to any platform owner who refuses to censor the truth at the behest of governments and intel agencies. Darkness is descending fast on the formerly free world. Here’s our interview with Durov from several months ago: https://tuckercarlson.com/the-tucker-carlson-interview-pavel-durov
