I got this very nice map from Larry Johnson:
Larry presents a slightly alternative view on the significance of the US strikes on Russia’s early warning radars. Don’t kid yourselves—these were not Ukrainian strikes, and Russia isn’t kidding itself, either. The drones were made by Portugal and paid for by the UK, but I simply don’t accept that these attacks could have been launched without US permission and involvement.
I draw your attention to the Armavir radar, the first one targeted. It’s the one that covers the Arabian Sea, bottom middle of the map. That was followed by the attack on the Orsk site, which also covers a portion of the Arabian Sea. The reason that’s important is because the US has nuclear missile subs in that area.

Bryen’s view conflicts in a few respects with others I’ve read—mostly in technical aspects, such as whether these radars can pick up ATACMS missiles. I’m not in a position to decide on such technical matters. The major strategic points remain and Bryen’s article is well worth your time to digest. These strikes are taking us into uncharted waters, and we have no idea where they could lead. This is the first time ever that any nation has attacked any other nation’s defenses against a nuclear attack. It’s concerning that it’s the Anglo-Zionist empire that has taken this step.

Former US President and current Republican candidate Donald Trump has told campaign donors that he “would have bombed” Moscow and Beijing if they’d attacked Ukraine and Taiwan respectively on his watch, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing sources.
According to numerous donors, advisers and other people close to him, the former president has ramped up his fundraising campaign rhetoric ahead of his likely rematch with incumbent Joe Biden in the upcoming November election.
Trump, who regularly addresses foreign policy topics at such events, reportedly claimed that he would have bombed the Russian capital in response to its Ukraine campaign, and prescribed the same response to a hypothetical Chinese move to assert its sovereignty over Taiwan. These remarks “surprised” his donors, according to the Washington Post.
Is it me, or has anyone else noticed the following. That radar site area of coverage was primarily the Israel, Syrian, Iraq and Western Iran Area of Operations. What I am getting at is "airspace". The Air Space containing the routes needed to be used by Israel for an attack on Iran were specifically monitored by that site. Tonight the Israelis hit targets "deep inside Syrian territory". May be this is all interconnected. The preparation for an attack on Iran? Or maybe just a precautionary strike to ensure the Russians could not monitor "any" Israeli Air operation.
