FYI: Planes That Flew Moscow to Ural Mountains DID NOT Return

At about 7:00 PM eastern US time last night, which converts to about 2:00 AM in Moscow, Russia, 12 military aircraft took off from Moscow, heading toward the Ural Mountains.  That number increased to 17 planes by 8:39 PM EDT.

The Ural mountains are where "Continuity of Government" facilities are located for the Russia Government, including numerous reports dating back to the 1960's of a complete underground city.  The story about this from last night is HERE

None of us know exactly what was going on.  We know that the number and type of aircraft WERE sufficient to carry the entire Russian government out of Moscow, including the entire Russian Duma (Parliament).

Many speculated that this was, perhaps, an exercise.  

As of 11:31 PM eastern Daylight Time here in the US on Sunday night, those planes have still not returned to Moscow.

Whoever they took out to the Urals . . .  are still there.

So it appears something rather large is going on.

There is additional speculation.  For instance, the Israel-Iran thing.

Israel has been talking loud about attacking Iran nuclear sites.   Iran has made clear they are entitled under the nuclear non-proliferations Treaty which they signed decades ago, to have Uranium and the ability to enrich that Uranium up to 3.75% purity for use in nuclear reactors for peaceful electric energy generation.

It is alleged that the USA - at the whining of Israel -- does not want Iran to have __ANY__ enrichment capability for fear that Iran would mis-use that capability to make nuclear-bomb-grade Uranium.

The Iranians have said that they are already fully capable of building a nuclear bomb, but they don't want them!

Israel doesn't trust this, and Israel's bought-and-paid-for mouthpieces in the US Congress, who sold their souls for campaign money,  are dutifully spewing the Israel line.

Iran has a point: They are already permitted this by Treaty and they will not give up this right.

As of his past Friday, word leaked out from Iran that discussions with the US regarding Iran's nuclear program had "decelerated" and it did not look good that any agreement would take place.

Then, today, word leaked out from the US saying there __was__ progress with Iran and that a deal may be possible!

Israel jumped right on the possibility that there would be no agreement and immediately started talking about striking Iran "within days, not weeks."

Iran reiterated that if they are attacked, they will launch against the attacker with a deadly barrage of ballistic missiles.

So that's where we are as of Sunday night - and the Russians are in Bunkers.   Why?

Well, Iran is a strategic ally of Russia, and a fellow BRICS member to both Russia and China.

POSSIBLE SCENARIO:

Israel commences an attack upon Iran and, detecting it, Iran launches their first salvo of about three hundred (300) ballistic missiles at Israel.   Israel cannot successfully intercept such a volley, so there would likely be severe damage inside Israel.

Then, as the attack upon Iran continues (Israel suggests it would go on for a week) Iran would have launched more and more missile salvos, perhaps crippling Israel.

AT THIS POINT, does Israel nuke Iran?   

If so, what does Russia do?  Nuke Israel?   What does China do?  Nuke Israel?

If either Russia or China nuke Israel in retaliation for Israel nuking Iran, what does the United States do?

If the US retaliates against Russia or China on behalf of Israel, we're in immediate nuclear, world war 3.

So maybe this is why the Russians are in the Ural Mountains?

Again, this is just SPECULATION.  It's one possible scenario out of very many.   But it is also the only scenario where Russians would see the need to be in bunkers.

Head on a swivel, folks.  Keep abreast of what's taking place, and draw your own conclusions about what it could escalate into.
