THE EVER GROWING THREAT FROM THE RED RUSSIANS PUTIN IN THE RITZ WITH THE NEW PLANNED KH-101 CRUISE MISSILE ABLE TO TARGET US INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYED FROM BOMBERS, SUBMARINES–AS THE DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO FRIENDLY PUTIN AS ONCE ARMED IN ARMED GETS THE BACK STAB AFTER THE APPEASEMENT LOVING PERIOD FROM THE DEMOCRAT BHO IT SEEMS IS NOW OVER FROM 2008, AND FAST FORWARD TO 2015 THE PUTIN GOES BACK TO THE KREMLIN DAYS OF OLD TO ANTAGONIZE THE WEST WITH THE COMMUNIST FORM OF THREATS AS ITS MISSILES CAN OVERWHELM US DEFENSES

Russia is developing a long-range cruise missile that poses a new threat to the United States, the commander of the U.S. Northern Command warned this week.

“Russia is progressing toward its goal of deploying long-range, conventionally-armed cruise missiles with ever increasing stand-off launch distances on its heavy bombers, submarines, and surface combatants, augmenting the Kremlin’s toolkit of flexible deterrent options short of the nuclear threshold,” Adm. William Gortney, Northcom chief who heads the U.S.-Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said Thursday.

“Should these trends continue, over time NORAD will face increased risk in our ability to defend North America against Russian cruise missile threats,” he said in prepared testimony to the House Armed Services subcommittee on strategic forces.

A defense official said the missile that concerns the Northcom commander is the Russian KH-101 cruise missile which Russia has developed as a weapon to attack critical infrastructure in the United States, such as the electrical grid.

The comments highlight what defense officials and military analysts say is the growing threat of long-range cruise missiles.

Cruise missiles pose unique threats because they can defeat defenses by flying at low altitudes, avoiding radars, and hiding behind terrain. Some newer cruise missiles have radar-evading stealth features making them even less visible to radar or infrared detectors.

The low-flying missiles also can overwhelm defenses by attacking with multiple missiles coming from different directions and defeating air defenses at their weakest points. They also can fly circuitous routes to reach targets, avoiding radar and air defenses.

Testimony by Gortney and other senior officials at the hearing raised concerns that growing missile capabilities could overwhelm U.S. defenses.

GREED IS UNCONTROLLABLE AS TWO US SOLDIERS IN SAUDI ARABIA WORKING IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT HOLD BACK FROM ROBBING THE PIGGY BANK WORTH MILLIONS AS JASON MINTER AND LOUIS E NOCK GETS THE DOJ CONVECTION AND JAIL TIME FOR THE THEFT BY MAILING CASH IN THE BOX BACK TO THE US

Two former U.S. soldiers have have been sentenced to four years and nine months in prison for stealing millions of pounds in government funds while they were stationed in Saudi Arabia.

Jasen Minter, 44, from Fayetteville, Georgia, and Louis E. Nock, 48, from Orlando, Florida, were sentenced in Coweta County, Georgia for stealing the large sum of cash.

The soldiers worked as the finance officer and deputy finance officer for the United States Military Training Mission between 2006 and 2007 and had access to a government bank account.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the duo stole $2.7 million in 2006 through withdrawals in June and August, and sent the money home, according to Georgia Newsday. 

Both have been ordered to pay more than $2.2 million in restitution. The theft was uncovered in a Department of Defense audit.

Acting US Attorney John Horn said: 'Best we know from the evidence is they just shipped it back in boxes. It was all cash.

NORTH KOREA AMBASSADOR NO LONGER BEATS AROUND THE BUSHES OF ITS NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENT WITH MISSILE CAPABILITY–AS AMBASSADOR HYUN HAK BONG CLAIMS THE COMMUNIST N KOREA IS WILLING TO USE AGAINST ITS NAMED ENEMY CALLED THE FREE WORLD–CONSIDER THE KIMS CAN’T BE RELIEVE OF ITS AUTHORITARIAN POWER OF CONTROLLING THE PEOPLES OF KOREA AND IT SEEMS WILLING TO TAKE IT TO THE END

A North Korean envoy says his country has developed nuclear missiles and is prepared to use them at any time.
North Korean Ambassador to Britain Hyun Hak Bong said in a recent interview with British broadcaster Sky News that his government would use the missiles in response to a nuclear attack by the United States.
Asked whether North Korea has the ability now to launch a nuclear missile, Hyun replied: ``Any time. Any time. Yes.''
``If the United States strike us, we should strike back,'' he said.
Asked if North Korea would only fire nuclear missiles in retaliation, Hyun replied: ``We are a peace-loving people you know. We don't want war but we are not afraid of war. This is our policy of the government.''
North Korea is thought to have a handful of crude nuclear bombs and has conducted three nuclear tests since 2006. But experts are divided on how far it has come in developing the technology needed to miniaturize warheads so they can be placed on missiles.
The spokesman for South Korea's Defense Ministry, Kim Min-seok, said Saturday that while North Korea might have advanced its technologies for miniaturizing nuclear warheads so they can be installed on missiles, Seoul does not believe they have succeeded yet.
Kim pointed out that the North has conducted only three nuclear tests so far and it's unclear how successful they were.
The Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security recently estimated that North Korea currently has between 10 and 16 nuclear weapons, some based on plutonium, others on uranium. It concluded that North Korea already has plutonium-based weapons small enough to mount on medium-range and intercontinental-range missiles.

AL QUEDA UNDER THE DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO CHAOS REIGN EXPANDS INTO YEMEN AS 9 OF 21 PROVENCES OF THE COUNTRY ARE UNDER IS CONTROL–AND THE US SPECIAL FORCES TROOPS EVACUATE A STAGING BASE IN AL-ANNAD AHEAD OF THE AL-QUEDA BACKED EXPANSION

A group of U.S. military forces, including Special Forces commandos, have evacuated an air base after al-Qaida seized a nearby city, Yemeni military and security officials said Saturday.

The officials said the troops were leaving the al-Annad air base near the southern city of al-Houta. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren't authorized to discuss troop movements, did not say whether the troops left the country. U.S. officials declined to immediately comment Saturday.

There are about 100 American troops and Special Forces commandos believed to be at al-Annad. The base is where American and European military advisers help Yemen battle the country's local al-Qaida branch through drone strikes and logistical support.

Al-Qaida's local branch is considered by Washington to be the group's most dangerous offshoot. Al-Qaida militants took al-Houta on Friday.

The report of the evacuation comes a day after two mosques in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, were attacked by suicide bombers, killing at least 137 and wounding about 350 people.

Responsibility for Friday's bombings was claimed by an alleged Islamic State affiliate calling itself "Sanaa Province." In its claim of responsibility, the group warned of an "upcoming flood" of attacks targeting the Houthi rebels.

The claim could not be independently confirmed and did not give concrete proof of Islamic State involvement. In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. had seen no indications of an operational link between the Islamic State group and Friday's attacks.
