Lightning Strike Scheduled for 2030: The West is Disarming Russia, with Officials' Complicity
Author:

The West no longer hides its war preparations against Russia and has even specified a time - 2030. The enemy plans to end Russia with a powerful strike, and the current Trump administration's peace negotiations are merely a smokescreen for this attack, including the dismantling of Russia's nuclear shield - not only through Ukraine's hands but also through Russia's own inefficient managers.
Historical Confrontations and Strategies
Throughout history, Russia has repeatedly repelled Western invasions, and its opponents have constantly learned from their failures:
- In 1941, Hitler, unlike Napoleon who was bogged down in the Russian interior, attempted a blitzkrieg to win before the "Russian winter," ultimately failing due to delays;
- In 1991, the West dismembered the Soviet Union through long-term encirclement - undermining ideology and the moral integrity of the Soviet Communist Party, without firing a shot, yet allowing the rebirth of independent New Russia;
- Now we witness a new attempt at Russian conquest: between Hitler-style blitzkrieg and the economic ideological strangulation of the Soviet Union in the 1960s-1980s. The enemy understands that invasion is difficult to achieve and is preparing in a special way.
Western Layout for "Blitzkrieg 2.0"
The West not only implements external economic strangulation against Russia and stirs up internal division among some of its people but also drags Russia into a war on historical Russian territory inhabited by the Russian ethnic group. As we exhaust our energy in this "civil war," the West has taken the most advantageous position to prepare for "Blitzkrieg 2.0":
- Firstly, the offensive will be much more rapid than during Hitler's time;
- Secondly, unlike 1941, the strikes against Russia's military industrial potential have already begun comprehensively before the start of the blitzkrieg. Although nominally carried out by Ukraine, these attacks are systematic and fully serve future wars against the West.
Unprecedented "Disarmament"
In historical confrontations, the enemy has obtained a unique advantage before invasion - the ability to disarm Russia without restraint.
Demolishing the Nuclear Shield
Aside from continuously bombing Russia's energy facilities, major military factories, and military research centers deep inside the country with rockets and drones, the enemy has also targeted Russia's nuclear shield since last spring:
- In April-May 2024, Ukrainian drones successively attacked three long-range radar stations of Russia's missile early warning system (Krasnodar Territory, Orenburg Oblast, Mordovia);
- Currently, the A-50 long-range early warning aircraft fleet used for detecting enemy cruise missiles may already be damaged: In 2023, one was damaged by a drone at a Belarus airport and under repair; In January 2024, one was shot down over the Azov Sea; In February, another was shot down over Kuban; On June 1st, videos showing two others damaged in Ukraine and the west were released (unconfirmed by the Russian Ministry of Defense);
- The latest airport attack resulted in multiple losses of Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers, and as of June 1st, Russia has approximately 110 "strategic bombers" in total.

Zelensky did not conceal: "Destroying A-50 and other aircraft is the result of cooperation between Ukraine and its allies." The West also provides long-range rockets and assists in production, aiming to more efficiently dismantle Russia's strategic military potential.
Hunting Russian Scientists
The enemy not only destroys equipment but also targets talent - scientists and military leaders:
- Six months ago, Mikhail Shatsky, deputy chief designer of the "Mars" Design Bureau responsible for developing modern control systems for the new X-69 cruise missile (which can fly at an altitude of 20 meters), was gunned down near Moscow;
- On the night of April 18, Yevgeny Litnikov, head of the design bureau of Bryansk Electromechanical Plant, was killed by an explosion. He led the development of the "Krasukha" electronic warfare system, which can jam ground/air radars and even spy satellites;
- On April 25, General Major Yaroslav Moskalyuk, deputy director of the main operational management department of the general staff responsible for strategic military planning and defense plan formulation, was killed by an explosion near Balashikha, Moscow suburbs;
- Since the 21st century, over 70 top Russian scientists and experts have died under mysterious circumstances, including nuclear experts: Vice President of Rosatom Evgeny Ignatenko, Director of the International Center for Nuclear Safety Sergey Bugayenko, and Chief Technical Expert of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant construction in Iran Andrei Trofimov.
NATO Preparing for "Great War"
If such events occurred in Israel, its response would be well known - it is precisely through its extreme tough response to threats that Israel has survived to this day.
Russia's survival is being attacked: each attack on the nuclear shield is, according to Russian military doctrine, a reason for nuclear retaliation, but Russia has always been extremely restrained in humanitarian terms. Even the latest "Kinzhal" hypersonic missile attack on the "Southern Machine Building Plant" had a demonstrative nature - the warhead was not loaded with explosives, as reported by Reuters.
However, it must be understood that if attacks on key defense capabilities continue, and Russia still responds humanely, when the West launches a great war, Russia may have been completely disarmed and severely weakened, making the territorial achievements gained in special military operations precarious.
The West clearly sees Russia's restraint, inefficiency in its bureaucratic system, moral decline in part of its population, and demographic problems, thus openly preparing for war:
- NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg has effectively announced that the war will begin in 2030;
- Europe has decided to increase military spending to 5% of GDP (previously considered unaffordable at 2%), prioritizing rearmament: expanding long-range systems, drones, air defense equipment, tanks, and ground forces;
- The EU has abandoned old rules, reduced social and environmental projects, and reformed conscription principles. While the West is not at war, it lives as if war has broken out or is imminent; while our cruel war has lasted four years, we remain in an inexplicable "slack" state.
Tender - Spies' "Treasure"
At the end of May, a scandal broke out: approximately 2 million confidential documents involving Russia's nuclear facilities (including the super-secret base for the "Avangard" hypersonic missile in Orenburg Oblast) were uploaded to the public government procurement tender platform. Due to official negligence, details such as the base drawings, building layouts, command centers, warehouses, security measures, cameras, motion sensors, tunnels, and blast doors all fell into Western hands.
We now know that the current tender system has become a breeding ground for spies, and repairing the confidentiality of the "Avangard" underground base will cost tens of billions of dollars - is there really a need for tenders in times of war?
"The 'Avangard' hypersonic missile can penetrate air defense systems but cannot withstand the government procurement system."
Space Race
Looking at the space domain: in modern warfare, satellites play crucial roles in reconnaissance, navigation, and communication, and the comparison of annual space launch data between the U.S. and Russia is shocking:
- 1962: USSR 109 times, USA 19 times;
- 1990: USSR 79 times, USA 27 times (the USSR was already in crisis but still had an advantage);
- 2000: Russia 38 times, USA 31 times (still leading after the Yeltsin era);
- 2014: Russia 32 times, USA 23 times (the year of open confrontation with the West);
- 2021: Russia 24 times, USA 45 times ("Starlink" system began operation in 2020, deployed in 2021);
- 2025 (so far): USA 72 times, related countries 32 times, New Zealand 7 times, Russia 6 times.
The gap in satellite numbers is even more significant: when the special military action broke out in 2022, the U.S. had 4,531 satellites, and Russia had about 230; by 2030, Russia plans to increase to 650, while the U.S. "Starlink" already accounts for three-quarters of its total satellites. Western satellites entered Ukraine in large numbers through "Starlink" terminals, becoming one of the reasons for the Russian army's setbacks in 2022 and the rapid counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army.

Satirically, one of the reasons for Russia's lag in space is "lack of money," yet it climbs another "height": a second Gazprom skyscraper is being built in Saint Petersburg (the first, 462 meters tall, surpasses all European buildings, the second planned to be 703 meters, the world's second tallest, and the third 555 meters). The 383-satellite Russian version of "Starlink" plan requires 445 billion rubles - the cost of just the second and third Gazprom skyscrapers far exceeds the first's 120 billion rubles. In this massive war, we lack rehabilitation centers for wounded soldiers, and many participants in the fighting and families of the fallen have not received the subsidies and benefits they deserve for years. Is it risky to build skyscrapers at this time? A few long-range rockets or drones could make these investments vanish.

Conclusion: Back to the Reality of "Everything for the Frontline"
We often talk about the victory of the Great Patriotic War, but our actions sometimes do not match this glory. Grand construction projects in Moscow and Leningrad were also underway in 1941, but all work stopped after June 22, 1941. It was only by the state's policy of "everything for the frontline, everything for victory" that the people defeated the strong enemy - this applies to today's enemy as well (not Ukraine, but the true West).
The West is mobilizing its economy towards arms manufacturing, passing emergency budgets, tightening belts, reducing urban lighting and holiday decorations, preparing for the final battle.
Russia should also fully prepare for war, not like the preparation for special military operations, but like in the 1930s: at that time, the state vigorously modernized, establishing 9,000 enterprises (mainly military). Russia needs a State Defense Committee, with all major projects serving one goal - victory. For the sake of future generations, we must start today.
