Yes, but it is a program shrouded in secrecy. Nuclear propulsion can have many applications.

Thanks for recommending the article... very interesting indeed.
What is nuclear propulsion and is it for military use? I assume it's newer and not covered in the article i.e., it's not another way to propel a missile to its target?
Edit: @Cosmos beat me to the question!!!
Yes, but the missile can fly ''indefinity'' as stated by Putin in his 2018 speech.
It uses a mini nuclear reactor. These energy generators also power the laser weapons Russia is developing. These are not the same laser weapons you see on some US warships. Instead of melting/burning the target, they blow you to pieces.

Okay, so basically Russia has weapons that mean the West can never attack it militarily. So we can see that the West will try to destroy it a different way now. I still do think that Russia's biggest weakness is the fact Putin is getting old - will the next leader be as good? The West could employ a strategy of planting seeds now to reap them when Putin finally retires or dies of old age.
It is clear that the US won't surrender its unipolar standing willingly and so it looks like a direct clash will be inevitable? I can conceivably see a situation where the US decides to blow up the whole planet if it sensed it can no longer enjoy the status it thinks it should have.
@bjorn is there a weapon in development that can stop all the nuclear bombs on the whole planet from exploding? Imagine that...

This is what Putin is taking into account and preparing for.
From Naill's article:
The S500 and S550 are said to be capable of downing ballistic missiles. Thus, Russia is keen to protect itself from an all-out U.S. nuclear attack.
What article are you referring to?
Putin Delivers Landmark 'State of The Union' Speech: Puts The Smack Down on US, Shows Off Latest Russian Nuclear Weapons
Russian president Vladimir Putin today delivered a landmark address to the Russian Federal Assembly - a joint session of the two chambers of the Russian Parliament - in what is the Russian equivalent of an annual 'State of the Union' speech....

Although not all Western geostrategists will see it, partly because of their pathological wishful thinking, the moment when Russia got hypersonic missiles in its arsenal marked a Sputnik moment.
And given the developments underway in Russia's military-industrial complex, there will be many more SPUTNIK moments in the near future. OSIT.
Guess the Globalists couldn't resist a chance at lowering the health of its enemies...and making a profit at the same time. If I were a Russian I'd stick with borscht and grass-fed butter.

I want to be clear that I was just making a joke.
That article is from Aug. 13, 2019. Putin revealed nuclear propulsion in his Mar. 1, 2018 speech:
There were these from Nuclear-powered aircraft wiki:
I'm thinking the power-plant in these missiles are nuclear-electrical rather than 'nuclear-heated', but it sounds like the propulsion system still needs some atmosphere (air) to produce thrust because of the turbofan... unless they've done away with that all together and then the sky's no longer the limit because it's a completely new propulsion system that doesn't need air. If the MiG-41 can actually get into space and not on the edge of space then that's a total game changer.
Sorry for the noise diversion.

So, I think, you still don't know about another Russian weapon -- Poseidon. Sorry for Google translate.
The article in Russian is here:
https://topwar.ru/172081-rossijskij...ompleks-kotoryj-ne-imeet-analogov-v-mire.html
The importance of Poseidon for the defense of our country can be evidenced by the fact that for the first time the complex was presented two years ago not by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and not even by the Minister of Defense, but personally by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Unique engine and the possibilities it provides
Some media have already dubbed the Poseidon the “torpedo of the apocalypse”, although in fact it is not a torpedo, but an autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicle (AUV). The characteristics of the underwater vehicle are impressive: the speed under water is up to 200 km / h, as for the depth of immersion, it can be up to a kilometer. The Poseidon's "cruising" range will be 10 thousand km, that is, it will be able to reach the coast of virtually any potential enemy.
Unlike Russia, no other maritime power, including the United States, has yet created such a device. One of the main reasons for the lack of analogues is the unique nuclear power plant used on the Poseidon. The Poseidon reactor is more powerful than any existing nuclear submarine, but at the same time a hundred times more compact.
The transition between low-power and high-power modes in the reactor is 200 times faster than in the latest generation of nuclear submarines, while the liquid metal is able to withstand overheating without strong thermal expansion.
The ability to quickly switch the power of the reactor is necessary for the device in order to quickly exit the "sneaking" mode, where low noise plays the main role, into the cruising speed mode. This may be needed when avoiding attacking enemy torpedoes and enemy submarines.
The range will allow you to sneak up to the coast of the United States
The ability to dive to a depth of about 1000 meters makes the Poseidon virtually invulnerable to torpedoes, even if detected. By the way, if we talk about the stealth of an underwater vehicle, then special attention was paid to stealth technologies during its development.
The main factors of the invisibility of the device include, firstly, its small size, which makes it possible to reduce noise from water flow around, and secondly, the presence of a silent cooling system for the LMC reactor. Since there is liquid metal in the circuit in LMC reactors, it is set in motion by a magnetohydrodynamic pump. It has no mechanical parts capable of making noise, so the engine is silent, unlike nuclear submarines, in which the rotating turbine of the cooling circuit acts as a very serious unmasking factor.
The unlimited range makes the Poseidon a threat to coastal cities like New York and Los Angeles. The Russian Department of Defense describes it as a multi-purpose weapon and suggests that it may also be intended for US Navy battle groups,
- writes the American analyst H. Sutton (H.I. Sutton).
The use of Poseidon, according to the expert, can radically change the tactics and strategy of modern submarine warfare.
The absence of torpedoes in the US and British navies capable of hitting the Poseidon renders the latter invulnerable and renders Western fleets virtually defenseless against new Russian weapons.
In an explosion off the east coast of the United States, a nuclear warhead could create a tsunami wave tens of meters high, in addition to the damage caused by the nuclear explosion itself,
- emphasizes The Moscow Times.
It is clear that the United States will inevitably begin to develop means to counter Poseidon, but this will cost a lot of money, says H. Sutton. That is why, with regard to Poseidon, today we can confidently say that it has no analogues in the world, no matter how hackneyed this phrase may be.

Sometimes a little humour is welcome. The video has been floating around for a while, but has been repurposed for the current political situation. It made me smile.
"Ahahaha!!!

I'm confused here. Are you trying to give a run-down of the narrative of the PTB media, and how this narrative would affect the 'hearts and minds' of the general population? Or are these your own thoughts on the matter?
At any rate, I'm pretty troubled by the phrasing in this post, as well as the subject matter. The use of language, in particular the repeated use of the word 'you', raises a red flag. I don't know whether you're aware of it or not, but it reads as if you're inviting others to see, think, and feel in a very pessimistic and dark manner, and join you on a doom-and-gloom train to nowhere. At worst, it reads like a case study in fearmongering nudge psychology. But I may be over-interpreting.
It would have been a much, much different post if you were to have used the first person singular pronoun. 'I feel this, I think that, I am concerned about such and such'. Then your post would have come across as a much more genuine attempt to share your own inner turmoil.
From what I've understood, the purpose of shadow work isn't to 'shake off' the shadow. We can't do that emotionally or mentally any more than we shake off our own physical shadow. The purpose of shadow work is to face 'it', to make our darkness conscious, and use it to generate an internal friction in the Work, and as such integrate it in a healthy way. This includes the shadow of our own mortality.
I know that we're living through difficult times, and it can be a shock to see war footage and dead bodies. But that's reality. And Work principles still apply - perhaps now moreso than ever. We can all make the choice to maintain good media boundaries, an attitude of faith, and a reasonable perspective, particularly about death. Or we can let the chaos in and invite it to run amok inside us, which is exactly what the PTB wants.
