Another round of the "Russian #Carousel"- a regular whiplash from extra-heat to extra-cold, provoked by the disruption of the polar vortex (#PV) artificially repeatedly produced by Russia.
Naturally, the polar vortex disrupts once every 3 to 5 years. This year, it was disrupted several times, starting in November, which is a record early start, and there were double disruptions in April, which is also a record. It is interesting how meteorologists and AI adjust to the situation - to project confidence in an extra-wierd situation, they just normalize it, even not mentioning how far from normal it is and what the consequences are.
Every time a polar vortex is displaced from the Arctic to the US, Europe, or Asia, Arctic air is replaced by warm air from the region it moves into, leading to #Arctic #warming #intensification. Repeated several times per season, the imposed action leads to a record Arctic warming amplification, preventing the region from playing its role as a global air conditioner and altering the usual oceanic currents, which means the death of the global climate as we know it and apocalyptic consequences if Russia is not stopped.
Most don't even mention the abnormality of frequent polar vortex disruptions - just mention "Canada's cold" coming to the US. With such confused and non-transparent thinking and coverage, the situation will never be adjusted, but will have irreversible consequences for the global/#US/#Europe/#China #climate, incrementally turning them into uninhabitable territory, but turning 75 of Russia's unlivable territory into livable.
This is exactly what Putin's #climate #war is about. By frequently disrupting the polar vortex, Putin accelerates Arctic melting and heating, which is Russia's strategic goal, as it should, along with improving Russia's climate, make the Russian North Sea Route the main global transport artery, turning Russia into a great maritime power.
Frequent polar vortex disruptions #heat the mid-latitudes, damaging countries with the most favorable climates until now, while at the same time, creating an illusion of "global #cooling" due to periodic cold blasts, shocking the perception with whiplashes - sharp turns from extra-heat to extra-cold and back, where extra-cold is perceived as the dominating trend despite the prevailing opposite trend toward quickly intensifying #warming.
To anchor the illusion in the public and decision-makers' minds, Russians intensified propaganda as a part of climate war by spreading deceptive Russian narratives (under the false American flag) on FB and other social media platforms, imposing a strategic misconception under the guise of free discussion.
And it works as #Trump and #TrumpAdministration are too busy with war in Iran to pay attention to the global shift threatening the mere existence of the US.
It is interesting that Tulsi Gabbard, Russia's favorite in the Trump Administration, excluded altogether #climatechange (read "Russian climate war" against the US) from the threats to the US security, completely freeing Putin's hands. Nothing strange considering her main source of information is Russia Today (RT), Moscow's main propaganda weapon. As RT's chief, Symonyan mentioned in an interview several years ago, propaganda is more potent than nuclear weapons.
She is right. There is no need to use nuclear weapons when invisible climate war, combined with numbing the American political class, works better without provoking retaliation, as #nuclear #weapons would inevitably do.
