Putin's "Perfect Storm" Reaches New York
Lightning in New York, targeting the Statue of Liberty, in addition to anomalously intense storms, massive landslides, tornadoes, and hurricanes rattling the country, culminating in earthquakes in New York, on an intuitive level, felt like Putin's perfect-storm operation against the US in the making.
Russians realize they can't attack the US directly, as the comparison of Russia's military might with the US or NATO is not in Moscow's favor. So, Russians concentrate their efforts on covert ways to attack the US and its symbol - New York and the Statue of Liberty, using alternative kinds of weapons or geoengineering tools.
Russians have been bragging for quite a long time about "unique weapons," "without analogues in the world," capable of destroying whatever country Moscow wants, including the US.
Putin stated that Russia doesn't need tanks to defeat the US, alluding to some mysterious "military-technical" response, which the West routinely interprets as the use of nuclear weapons.
But nuclear weapons are neither "unique" nor "without analogs in the world," which means that Russia alludes to possession of a different kind of secret weapons, which are either banned or considered nonexistent. As the West is more prosperous and more technologically advanced, Russia can't compete openly. Instead, Moscow relies on creative asymmetric solutions to defeat the West without the West even noticing the attacks.
Climate Modification as Russia's geopolitical weapon
"The military-technical" or geoengineering tools are not as straightforward and effective as nuclear weapons. Still, they have a massive advantage over nuclear weapons as they let Russians attack the US or whatever country they want covertly and thus with impunity - avoiding any retaliation, hiding under the "Wrath of Mother Nature" pretense.
Russians weaponize nature, using geoengineering to modify the climate or big weather patterns. This allows for intensifying natural disasters characteristic of specific areas and rechanneling them to amplify their destructive potential for the attacked country.
For example, scientists noticed that tornadoes in the US had recently moved away from their usual paths and headed eastward toward more populated and industrialized areas.
Russia targets not only the US but also China. Typhoons, floods, heat waves, and freezing storms have intensified and multiplied, overwhelming China in recent years, causing huge losses, destroying infrastructure, and weakening the Chinese economy. Weakening of China makes it more amenable and compliant in relations with Russia. The status quo and dynamics explain the words of a Russian politician and a "whistleblower," Vladimir Jirinovski, who in 2009 said that China will soon cease to exist.
Putin's war of attrition against the West and China
Brainwashed by Russian anti-Western propaganda and exhausted by multiple "natural disasters," China turned into Russia's accomplice in the war against Ukraine, as now, China sees Russia not only as a source of minerals and as a market for its products but also as the most stable place and a potential future shelter in an increasingly calamitous world.
Ironically, China unknowingly produces for Russia geoengineering tools, which Moscow uses to terrorize China with "natural disasters."
The US, worn out by multiple storms, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and droughts, is also becoming more self-isolated and focused on resolving internal issues rather than defending the world order, as it faces challenges from Russia. Moreover, the US also sees Russia as a potential solution for climate-driven disasters that are increasingly devastating the US.
In an attempt to neutralize climate change intentionally caused by Russia, the US halted oil and gas production, which benefits Russia and keeps the US and Europe dependent on it, but doesn't improve the climate, as the decision is based on the wrong premises.
Mother Nature or Mother Russia?
Europe, in turn, has also been moving from one extreme weather crisis to another—from freezing cold and intense storms to floods, heat waves, firestorms, and droughts. And, despite all military crimes of Russian aggression against Ukraine, Europe, terrorised by "natural disasters," remains indecisive about countering Russia.
The Global South, including India, is the most affected and vulnerable to Russia-caused climate change, as they are first to face "Mother Nature's" blows, and are unaware that behind them is "Mother Russia."
Russia managed to create a false choice - the world should either counter Russia or fight climate change. However, Russian aggression military against Ukraine and Russian climate war seen as climate change are not two problems, but one - Russia.
Russian Efforts to Turn Russia into "New Mediterranean"
Despite extreme weather disasters around the world, Russia's climate is improving dramatically, making it potentially the most sustainable place for investment and living. Tundra is gradually turning into productive agricultural land. Russia invests massive effort in melting the Arctic Ocean and the seas near its coastline and along the Russian Northern Sea Route, turning Russia, with its soon all-year-round unfreezing ports, into the center of civilization—a "New Mediterranean," as Russians call it.
Russia does experience temporary setbacks and losses from the accelerating warming of the Arctic seas and the Arctic Ocean, but Moscow considers such collateral damage reasonable in a climate war. The losses, which the Western media likes to report, presenting Russia as the biggest victim of climate change, as the Arctic is warming up 4-7 times faster than the rest of the world, don't slow down Russian melting operations. The same way as huge losses in Russia's aggression against Ukraine don't stop Russia from attacking Ukraine. The advantages Russia envisages in both cases far outweigh the losses.
Putin is melting not only the Arctic inside the Arctic Circle but also the permafrost inside Russia's mainland, which underlies 65 percent of Russian territory. The most significant part of it is continuous permafrost, which layer reaches 1 km in depth - a frozen underground interconnected system of rivers and lakes, which, due to their interconnectedness, and the law of communicating vessels, could be entirely melted if only a few parts of it are defrosted and warmed up.
This explains the sporadic holes with nearly perfect geometric shapes that "suddenly" appear around Russia's permafrost as the result of intentional, in-depth melting efforts. Russians explain the holes as the result of spontaneous methane explosions caused by climate change, not as intentional efforts that cause climate change.

Sporadic methane blasts due to underlying methane released by melting organic matter could occur, but only if the protective layer is destroyed.

The Mystery of Siberia's Exploding Craters, Explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbqf_rRVLHQ |
The mysterious craters in Siberia are a result of Russia's efforts to defreeze permafrost to improve the Russian climate and expand habitable territory, turning tundra into productive land while leaving the rest of the world's territory unlivable. However, despite the evidence, Western scientists and journalists continue obediently and uncritically to repeat the Russian version.
Putin Accelerates Global Warming
Putin is not a young man. He wants to see the results of warming now, not in decades as is predicted. The Arctic's warming now corresponds to what was expected in the 50s. Nevertheless, Russia intensifies Arctic melting, continually adding new and more powerful "military-technical means" to its geoengineering arsenal, provoking a cascading effect on the global climate system.
Russia's goal is to weaken the Gulf Stream (AMOC), which acts as a thermostat for the global climate system, thereby making warm places warmer and hot places colder. As the AMOC weakens due to a warming Arctic, we see a distortion of the redistribution of heat between the tropics and the north, creating blockages and increasing the contrast between the cold North of Europe and the sizzling South, leading to intense storms, flooding, deadly heat waves, and firestorms.
Putin hopes that cooling in the North Atlantic will make Russia indispensable to the West, as the only country with a massive nuclear-powered icebreaker fleet (military-technical for melting the Arctic), able to break through the ice, and with vast energy resources whose demand should increase. In Putin's view, the West's dependence on Russia will subordinate the West to Russia to survive.
However, the weakening of AMOC affects not only the Atlantic but also the Indian and Pacific oceans, increasing severe weather crises in China and India, and provoking the melting of the Antarctic, as it should take more heat from the tropics due to the Arctic thermostat's inaction, and the global climate system is interconnected.
Putin's Ideology: Russia - New Noah's Arc, Putin - Scourge of God
The Russians expect that, due to their intense efforts to defreeze the Arctic, sea levels will rise and most of the world will go underwater, which won't affect Russia, as it is situated much higher than other countries.
The Kremlin even designed a new Russian ideology, positioning Russia as a biblical Noah's Ark - the "New Ark" that remains an oasis of good climate, able to save humanity from extermination due to global warming, but only for those who obey Putin.
To justify their actions, which intentionally distort the global climate system in Russia's favor, dooming the rest of the world to destruction, Putin positions himself as the Scourge of God, appointed by the Eurasian God to punish sinners and rebels - those who refuse to obey Russia, the natural ruler of the world.
The ideology is borrowed from Genghis Khan, who destroyed two-thirds of the existing civilisations then, and whom Russians secretly worship as their ancestor and a founding father of Russia. Putin considers himself a spiritual heir to Genghis Khan, or even his incarnation, due to the legend that Genghis Khan would return in 800 years.
Russia's Secret "Sovereign Climate War Doctrine"
To summarize, there is no global warming; there is an invisible Russian war for climate change in Russia's favor, turning the rest of the world into an uninhabitable place. To survive, the world should unite to stop Russia from distorting the global climate by thawing the Arctic and Russian permafrost, and from weaponizing severe weather against its adversaries and partners.
Putin insists that his actions are legitimate, as anything he does inside the Russian borders and inside Russian waters is a legal matter, be it melting the Arctic ice sheets or destroying Russian permafrost. This is what the Russians informally call a Sovereign Climate Doctrine, adopted in 2009.
Putin justified Russian actions in the Arctic at a press conference after the US-Russia summit with Biden in June 2021, when he feared Biden would discuss the issue. I already wrote about Russian actions in the Arctic then. The exposure bothered Putin, as a potential threat to their efforts and goals, but was utterly ignored by the Biden Administration. Climate was not discussed, or was discussed in a dogmatic way, earlier imposed by the Russians as a cover-up for their intentions to modify the global environment.
The US's lack of awareness and refusal to recognize the problem allowed Russia to continue melting the Arctic and even step up its efforts, which it had halted, in preparation for the US-Russia Summit. The result of intensified efforts after the Summit was immediate: a massive, tragic flood in Germany in July 2021. Massive Russian efforts to melt the Arctic have increased precipitation in Europe, leading to floods.
This case alone shows that mere awareness of Russia's intentional modification of the global climate in its favor could halt it, albeit temporarily. While a lack of awareness allows Russia to wage an unidentified climate war against the world, causing massive damage with full impunity.
