Russia's New Armata Tank Leaves Behind US, Israeli Analogues
Russia's T-14 Armata main battle tank leaves behind its US, Israeli and European analogues in terms of technical characteristics, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said.
The next-generation tank was first shown to the public last year during the May 9 Victory Day military parade in Moscow.
"Obviously, we have an advantage in tanks, because the tank, manufactured in Nizhny Tagil [by Uralvagonzavod (UVZ) machine building company] leaves behind its US, Israeli and, let alone, European analogues in terms of technical characteristics," Rogozin said Sunday in the air of Rossiya 1 television broadcaster.

The tank on the basis of the classified Armata Universal Combat Platform is operated by a crew of three, sitting in an armored capsule at the front, while the turret is unmanned. Its weapons include a 125-mm smoothbore cannon and a 7.62-mm remote-control machine gun.
Armata's operational engine has parameters of up to 1,800 horsepower, with the tank’s basic version equipped with a 1,500-horsepower engine. The tank is operated by a crew of three, housed in an armored capsule at the front. Its main armament includes a 125-mm smoothbore cannon and a 7.62-mm remote-control machine gun.
Earlier in February, UVZ CEO Oleg Sienko said that serial production of Armata tanks was scheduled to begin next year.

All Roads Lead to Pizzagate.......

Doug and Joe Hagmann interviewed Dave Hodges as he detailed his findings on the many roads that all appear to lead to perversion in DC – Sandusky, the strange disappearance of Ray Gricar – and many other issues too big to ignore.
All roads lead to Pizzagate, all roads. It is the center piece of conspiracies. It is the elite’s playground and it is crumbling under the intense pressure being placed on the topic from the independent media.
Fast moving action packed could describe this revealing discussion.

Which Nation Do Americans See As Their Greatest Enemy (Spoiler Alert: It's Not Russia)
Back to work 'deep state', neocons, and Clinton apologists, because America is not buying the narrative that Russia is their greatest enemy.
Americans have consistently identified ISIS as the biggest threat to their nation across multiple polls. Traditional foes, such as the countries making up George W. Bush's infamous "Axis Of Evil", have been pushed into the background by the rise of non-state actors like Al-Qaeda and ISIS. In recent years however, Statista's Niall McCarthy notes that the threat presented by some of America's traditional enemies has started to manifest itself once again. Russia's annexation of Crimea came as a reality check to the Obama administration while as recently as last Saturday, North Korea conducted a ballistic missile test.
YouGov conducted a poll to find out which countries Americans perceive as their nation's biggest enemies. North Korea has continued to make headlines even after that missile launch with news emerging earlier this week that Kim-Jong-un's half brother was allegedly poisoned in an airport in Malaysia. Both incidents have illustrated the unpredictability of the nuclear-armed regime in Pyongyang and it comes as little surprise that 57 percent of Americans consider North Korea their enemy.
Some of the entries on the upper portion of the infographic below are surprising. Iraq and Afghanistan were considered U.S. enemies by 29 and 23 percent of respondents respectively, despite their governments being key U.S. allies in the fight against Islamic extremism. Iran was labelled an enemy by 41 percent of Americans, even though a deal was signed last year to prevent Tehran developing nuclear weapons.
This chart shows the percentage of American adults considering these countries an enemy of the U.S.
