Russia shows US that 2 can play the ABM game: Russian Lawmakers Approve Satellite Navigation Hub in US backyard in Nicaragua

Greetings,

This has major geostrategic implications. If the latest move by Russia goes forward as planned, Russia will have a “Satellite Navigation Hub” in Nicaragua. This “Satellite Navigation Hub” in Nicaragua could also be used to relay data in the Western Hemisphere .I.E… in America, in real time back to Russian military and defense bases.

This is to be watched closely. If one where to look at it’s location, you would see that this base is right in what has been considered for decades “America’s untouchable backyard”!

This can at anytime deemed necessary by Russian officials, be turned into part of a strategic global missile defense shield. So you see where I am going? It is clear.

I think since America and NATO continues with their pushing of a missile shield right up to Russia’s borders ,and their heated threats and rhetoric over Ukraine, this has exposed their true intentions against Russia and is not falling on deaf ears.

Russia sees the build up. They see the positioning of forces and bases surrounding them. They saw America turn Syria into a hell hole in an effort to force Russia to lose her naval facilities in the Mediterranean, under the guise of chemical weapons attack.

They saw the NATO alliance overthrow a staunch Russian trade partner and ally in Colonel Ghaadfi of Libya ,in an effort to try to further weaken Russia’s military potential and economy. These things were not lost on Russian officials and military officers.

Since America refused to listen to Russia’s national security concerns, they are now pushing back to say in words….”what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”

So the two powers are after each other. Tit for tat moves in the geostrategic sphere is going on. They are closing in on war with each other. The two super powers are after each other and God in person is steering both towards conflict and disagreement, which will push them into a head on military collision.

Russian lawmakers have endorsed draft legislation to allow the country to set up a satellite navigation monitoring system in Nicaragua, a Cabinet committee said Tuesday.

“The agreement is aimed at creating an organizational and legal framework for mutually beneficial partnership between Russia and Nicaragua in terms of exploring and using space for peaceful purposes,” the official statement explained.

Under the agreement, Russia would set up a network of land-based control stations in the Latin American country to monitor and augment the accuracy of navigation satellites in Earth orbit.

It is hoped the system will boost Russia’s GLONASS satellite navigation system, the only current alternative to the US’s Global Positioning System (GPS) to feature global coverage and comparable accuracy.

The Nicaragua accords also propose to establish a more general cooperation program on space exploration between the two nations, including the allotment of intellectual property rights and procedures for customs controls.

In 2010, Russia finished the deployment of the full GLONASS constellation of 24 satellites, enabling complete global coverage. Since that time, the design of the satellites has undergone several upgrades, with billions of dollars spent on supporting the system.

Above all, the Russian government expects the agreement to require no additional funding. “All costs of setting up and equipping protected sites where technological knowledge can be tested in total security will be covered by partner organizations,” the legislative committee that drafted the bill said.

The draft law has been passed on to the government and is set to be debated in the near future.
