Russia has deployed Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad, escalating regional tensions and signalling a serious shift in military posturing in Europe. Strategic implications are concerning

Well the US is about to be engulfed in either a civil war or the installation of a dictator and may not have the will to fight for Europe.
Wouldn't be shocked to see China to increase the sabre rattling again over Taiwan. Where I have doubts the US would actually do much if push came to shove.
China gets the control of East Asia.
Russia gets Europe.
The US gets control over North America and as much of central America as it wants or can hold under its influence.

I think if the US goes to war that both a dictator and a civil war will be at the very least postponed I think this because of what happens in general when the US goes to war
PlayNicePlayCrazy@reddit
Lol. In general war in the US means clamp downs on rights, more power in the presidency and you think calling people traitors and anti American will go away?
revan12281996@reddit
It also means a increase of propaganda from both the left and right and people are dumb
Holdim@reddit
Nope, this is fake. It was debunked. It's an old video from 2018...
pittbiomed@reddit
This is what we need more of! I appreciate you clearing that up so i wasnt news surfing to see what bullshit is going on in the world
QHCprints@reddit
Except it’s not fake…
Bubbelgium@reddit
Do you have a link of the debunking?
I cannot find any trace of this video before today.
The police car seem to be a Haval F7, which according to Google (I know...) was only adopted by the Russian police in 2024.
The car was posted several times on r/PoliceCars within the last 12 months but I can't find it before that.

Bubbelgium@reddit
Thanks.
Not sure how reliable google translate is but that article doesn't seem to flat-out debunk the claim. It says "most likely from 2018".
What about the police car? Isn't that a Haval F7? It seems it was only adopted in late 2023 by the russian police?
Cute_Still_6657@reddit
Yeah I'm with you, that looks really similar to the trim of a 2024 Haval Jolion. That combined with google reverse searches bringing up no mention of this video before September 2025, I don't think this is an old video from 2018. The Milbloggers would have for sure spotted that by now, or would have been posting about it in 2018. The Iskanders may have been in Kaliningrad, which is nothing new but this is very much a video from Zapad 2025. They are not regularly parked in the middle of the highway. And Because I do suspect Holdim of posting misinformation I would like to ping u/pittbiomed and u/IDontKnowBut235711 to see the full picture rather than taking one comment at face value.
Holdim@reddit
Hmmm well not sure if miss information, this is what state news agency reported
Cute_Still_6657@reddit
Russia is absolutely lapping the west on Information Warfare, American politicians have also been quoting or spreading Russian misinformation... just because one state news agency said "maybe it's from 2018," it doesn't change the fact that OSINT would disagree with that. I'm not sure how a car that didn't go into production until 2024 would get in a video from 2018.

This supports your clame
Holdim@reddit
Hmmm dammn. It's like a news article from a national news agency from Lithuania. So you have a true video said to be a fake video? Some double agent shit...
Odd_Blood5625@reddit
Yeah, I’m calling bullshit.
Holdim@reddit
I think maybe the confusion is between this video of iskander positioned on highway during zapad 2025. And statement "deployed" as they were deployed far back not this year. Maybe that's the actual difference?
IDontKnowBut235711@reddit
Tx for clarifying
Syst3mN0te_12@reddit
And just to add a follow up, here’s an additional article saying these missiles were moved there as early as October 2016.

WayAdmirable150@reddit
Nobody gives a fuck about thinga russia deploys. Iskanders was always in Kaliningrad.
nw342@reddit
Exactly, I dont see why this would be a big deal.
Everyone is worried about russia attacking nato, which would never happen. Russia cant defeat a neighboring country with outdated nato/soviet weapons and half trained troops, how are they going to attack nato with advanced weapons? Russias military is mostly conscrips with no training or gear, and they're running low on nescisary tech like radars/presision missles.
syynapt1k@reddit
Russia does not stand alone, which is the reason for concern. China, Iran, North Korea, and now India are showing solidarity with Russia, which we can thank the current US president for.
GenerationNihilist@reddit
This.
Russia is a has been. Weak. Their constant threat of using nukes telling of this.

arbuzuje@reddit
My dear friends, I suggest you might want to stop refering to this place as Kaliningrad, and use our Polish Królewiec or Königsberg.
Thank you and have a great day!

Quaghan29@reddit
I'm just wondering why did they name their missiles after a Turkish kabab dish? 😅😂
DanielGoon69@reddit
Iskanders have been stationed in Kaliningrad since they entered service.... Decades and decades.

They're getting ready for America to collapse
stygg12@reddit
It’s an old video, Russia ain’t going to do shit
Cute_Still_6657@reddit
Yeah the zapad Exercises this year for sure rhyme with the Allied Resolve 2022 before Ukraine was Invaded. That combined with repeated probing of NATO airspace testing air defense and response times, I'd reckon it's not a great time to be living in the Suwałki Gap.
