PUTIN ON A SHOW: Russian warships fire missiles in massive show of strength as Putin sends chilling warning to Japan amid WW3 fears

RUSSIA has staged a military show of strength by firing missiles off its warships near Japan after Tokyo claimed sovereignty over the disputed Kuril Islands.

The Kuril archipelago was grabbed by Stalin at the end of the Second World War - but Japan refuses to accept Moscow’s jurisdiction.

“It is necessary to resolve the issue of territories, not leaving it to the next generations.”


Video has emerged of Russia’s Pacific Fleet highlighting its firepower in the Sea of Japan - a display seen by some as a “welcome message” for the new Japanese leader.

Others see it as Vladimir Putin sending a chilling warning to Tokyo following Kishida's remarks - and if Russia and Japan did come to blows it would risk drawing in the US and triggering World War 3.

Russia said the war games by the fleet flagship Varyag missile cruiser and anti-submarine destroyer Admiral Tributs were “planned".

They unleashed a battery from their Fort, Osa and Kinzhal missile systems at high speed aerial targets, reported the fleet’s press office.

In total, 10 missile launches were carried out as part of practical actions,” said a spokesman.

A dozen warships and support vessels were involved in the drills.

"In the course of the missile firing exercise, air defence crews from the Varyag detected, locked and downed a cruise missile,” the source added.

“The Varyag and the Admiral Tributs destroyed the other targets, using Osa and Kinzhal air defence missile systems and artillery.”

Officially Japan and Russia have still not signed a peace treaty ending the Second World War due to the territorial dispute.

Kishida, who assumed office last week, told parliament that he wants to sign a “peace treaty with Russia”. Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has been invited to visit Japan.

Lavrov said last week that Russia had “constructive, frank relations” with Japan, but the prospect of the islands returning to Tokyo are seen as highly unlikely while Putin remains in the Kremlin.

Meanwhile, Putin’s top weapons designers are developing a 4,000mph hypersonic nuclear missile that is capable of reducing a city anywhere on Earth to ashes within minutes.

The nukes will be fired from fifth-generation fighter Su-57 and travel five times faster than sound — making it almost impossible to shoot down.

LEGENDARY BOB MARLEY DROPPED THIS ONE YEARS BACK.


Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another inferior
Is finally and permanently
Discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war
Me say war

That until there no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war

That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day, dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained
Now everywhere is war
War

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola
In Mozambique, South Africa
Sub-human bondage have been toppled, utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war
Me say war

War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
War, war

Rumours of war
And until that day the African continent will not know peace
We Africans will fight, we find it necessary
And we know we shall win, as we are confident
In the victory

Of good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah

THE CASUALTIES BY, JOHN PEPPER CLERK.
The casualties are not only those who are dead.
They are well out of it.
The casualties are not only those who are dead.
Though they await burial by installment.
The casualties are not only those who are lost
Persons or property, hard as it is
To grope for a touch that some
May not know is not there.

The casualties are not only those led away by night.
The cell is a cruel place, sometimes a haven.
Nowhere as absolute as the grave.
The casualties are not only those who started
A fire and now cannot put out. Thousands
Are burning that have no say in the matter.
The casualties are not only those who are escaping.
The shattered shall become prisoners in
A fortress of falling walls.

The casualties are many, and a good number as well
Outside the scenes of ravage and wreck;
They are the emissaries of rift,
So smug in smoke-rooms they haunt abroad,
They do not see the funeral piles
At home eating up the forests.
They are wandering minstrels who, beating on
The drums of the human heart, draw the world
Into a dance with rites it does not know.

The drums overwhelm the guns…
Caught in the clash of counter claims and charges
When not in the niche others left,
We fall.
All casualties of the war.
Because we cannot hear each other speak.
Because eyes have ceased the face from the crowd.
Because whether we know or
Do not the extent of wrongs on all sides,
We are characters now other than before
The war began, the stay-at-home unsettled.

By taxes and rumours, the looters for office
And wares, fearful everyday the owners may return.
We are all casualties,
All sagging as are
The cases celebrated for kwashiorkor.
The unforeseen camp-follower of not just our war.

With all that is happening live before our eyes, it is Clearly Clear that we are at the Verge of Something Huge.

Bible Endtimes Prophecies are being Fulfilled and Re-Fulfilled right before our Eyes to the full.

The Coming of JESUS is so close!
Ladies and Gentlemen wake up and be Prepared!
It will be a Catastrophic Calamity to Miss the Rapture! JESUS is Coming!! Be Ready!!

No one has a monopoly of violence...and no such thing as a victor in any 21st century war between heavyweights. I believe Russia is wise enough to know the basics.

Na war games like this start second world war which now turn to bombing of Pearl harbour.

Japan were bullied over a lot of territories after the second world war due to fear of another atomic bomb attack after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. The fear that US or Russia will throw another bomb make them say YES SIR to their demands as terms of surrender and some of them is to lose sovereignty and grant independence over other territories they governed.

Make all men just calm down. Before world war II, France was the world power. The German army that had been reduced to a very little number defeated them strategically without France being able to lunch reasonable attack until they were invaded completely.

USA had the most sophisticated weapons but almost lost to Japan. Luck worked in favor of the USA. So if there's anything I learnt from the second world war history, it's the fact that no nation can predict the outcome of war from the beginning.
