'Not Playing Games': Trump Responds To Putin Testing 'Invincible' Nuclear Cruise Missile

'Not Playing Games': Trump Responds To Putin Testing 'Invincible' Nuclear Cruise Missile Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday touted a successful test of his military's new "invincible" nuclear-capable cruise missile, which means a next step of actually deploying the doomsday weapon as part of Russia's strategic arsenal.Putin oversaw the test in a video released by the Kremlin while dressed in military fatigues, which included him ordering his top general to start preparing the Burevestnik missile for integration into active forces. "We need to determine the possible uses and begin preparing the infrastructure for deploying these weapons to our armed forces," Putin sated.President Donald Trump has reacted to the announcement in an early Monday statement, saying it is "not appropriate" amid ratcheting tensions between Moscow and Washington and as peace talks have stalled.Trump described that Putin should focus on ending the war with Ukraine rather than testing missiles. He was pressed on the issue by reporters on Air Force One regarding the nuclear test."They know we have a nuclear submarine, the greatest in the world, right off their shores," Trump posited in response. "We don’t need to go 8,000 miles. Putin ought to end the war — a war that should’ve taken one week is now in its fourth year," he continued. "That's what he ought to do instead of testing missiles."But he also noted of the US military, "We test missiles all the time." He said this to perhaps downplay the seriousness of the event in the exchange with reporters:"They are not playing games with us. We are not playing games with them either. We test missiles all the time," he said.While Russia first disclosed the test on Sunday, it actually took place on October 21 according to the Kremlin announcement.Russia conducts test of new 'invincible' nuclear-capable cruise missile https://t.co/dcM93yJGBG pic.twitter.com/zuW95DETGk— New York Post (@nypost) October 26, 2025Citing Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, Russian media describes:The missile completed a multi-hour flight that covered 14,000km, though he stressed that this is not the range limit for the Burevestnik.“The technical characteristics of the Burevestnik missile make it capable of striking highly protected targets at any distance with guaranteed accuracy,” Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov stated.“During the test flight, the missile successfully performed all designated vertical and horizontal maneuvers, demonstrating its strong ability to evade anti-missile and air defense systems.”Below: audio of the Trump exchange with reporters...Reporter asks Trump about Russia testing a missile with 8,000-mile range.Trump:They know we have a nuclear submarine, the greatest in the world, right off their shores.

Gerasimov additionally described that no other nation in the world has such a 'unique' weapon which is practically invincible. "It is undetectable by conventional radar and can only be tracked by specialized spacecraft during the launch and acceleration phases," Russian media has additionally claimed.The Burevestnik project was first publicly disclosed during initial development by President Putin in 2018, when he said that a one-of-a-kind weapon with unlimited range and extreme maneuverability was being worked on.

mRNA Vaccine For Birth Defects Didn't Work Well, Won't Be Continued: Moderna

mRNA Vaccine For Birth Defects Didn't Work Well, Won't Be Continued: Moderna

mRNA Vaccine For Birth Defects Didn't Work Well, Won't Be Continued: Moderna Moderna - which has been around less than 10 years and 'somehow' convinced the government to mandate their mRNA jabs for hundreds of millions of Americans to participate in normal life during the pandemic - announced this week that its vaccine for birth defects did not perform well in a clinical trial, so they're scrapping it. A sign marks the headquarters of vaccine maker Moderna in Cambridge, Mass., on April 28, 2022. Brian Snyder/ReutersThe company's mRNA vaccine for cytomegalovirus (CMV) did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint in preventing CMV infection in healthy females of childbearing age (16-40) in a phase 3 randomized trial involving around 7,500 women. Pregnant mothers can pass CMV to their babies - with about 1 in every 200 born with CMV and around 20% of babies who contract it suffering from birth defects or long term health problems, including hearing loss. As the Epoch Times notes further, Moderna’s CMV vaccine utilizes messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology, just like its only approved shots, which target COVID-19.Moderna executives said in January that the trial for the CMV vaccine, mRNA-1647, needed to keep going because interim results did not show enough efficacy, but expressed optimism that the shot would ultimately be successful, noting it could be the first such vaccine on the market because no others exist as of yet.The efficacy of the shot turned out to be between 6 percent and 23 percent, depending on the case definition.“We are clearly disappointed by the failure to prevent primary infection because it means there is still no vaccine for the prevention of congenital CMV despite the many decades of work by the field,” Dr. Stephen Hoge, Moderna’s president, said in a statement.The company has decided to discontinue its CMV program.Moderna said that the vaccine was “generally well-tolerated ... with a safety profile consistent with earlier studies.” It will continue studying mRNA-1647 in bone marrow transplant patients.“CMV does cause significant disease in other contexts, including reactivation of the latent virus in those undergoing bone marrow transplantation, and we will continue to explore the potential of mRNA-1647 to suppress disease associated with reactivation in those high-risk patients through our ongoing Phase 2 study,” Hoge said.That study started in 2023 and is scheduled to be completed in 2026. About 224 people were set to receive the vaccine or placebo after ceasing prophylactic treatment for CMV, including the drug letermovir.Moderna said its 2025 financial outbreak is not expected to be impacted by the trial failure.“Moderna anticipated minimal initial revenue contribution from mRNA-1647 given necessary investments in market building and launch,” it stated.Moderna still expects to break even in 2028.

NPS sees $630 mn loss tied to MBK-owned Homeplus; vows GP selection reform

The National Pension Service (NPS) has estimated potential losses of about 900 billion won ($630 million) from its investment in MBK Partners-owned retailer Homeplus Co. and pledged tighter oversight in the selection of external managers and the monitoring of fund managers' operations.Homeplus, which entered court-led restructuring in March, is frequently cited in South Korea's political and labor circles as a case of profit-driven management by buyout firms, prioritizing short-term gains over long-term business growth.“We invested 612.1 billion won (in Homeplus) including equity, and have so far recovered 313.1 billion won,” Kim Tae-hyun, chairman of the South Korean pension scheme, said at an annual audit by the National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee audit on Friday.“The fair-value estimate of what remains to be collected is around 900 billion won. Considering the current status (of Homeplus) in the corporate rehabilitation process, recovery remains uncertain," he added.NPS has invested 612.1 billion won in Homeplus, including 582.6 billion won through redeemable convertible preferred shares (RCPS), to back MBK's 7.2-trillion-won acquisition of the retailer from Tesco in 2015.SUSTAINABLE GROWTH OVER ASSET SALESAsked whether NPS would reconsider its private equity investment approach, Kim said the fund will strengthen evaluation standards of general partners, or external investment managers.“When selecting fund managers, we will set the evaluation criteria based on whether past profits were generated by selling assets or by growing the business," he told lawmakers.Baek Hye-ryun, a lawmaker of the ruling Democratic Party, criticised the NPS of entrusting citizens’ retirement money to “a predatory private-equity fund,” referring to its new mandate awarded to MBK in February.In September, MBK issued a public apology over the financial crunch at Homeplus, saying it failed to fulfill its social responsibility for the South Korean hypermarket chain. It marked an unprecedented move for the private equity firm in the country.Meanwhile, the NPS chairman signaled a potential shift toward higher domestic equity exposure, citing the recent pension reform that raises contribution rates and delays projected fund depletion. “It’s time to reassess our domestic equity allocation,” he said.But he cautioned that any adjustment must account for the possibility that the absolute investment volume could still rise, even if the proportion of equities declines.

Maduro Boasts He's Moved Thousands Of Russian Anti-Air Missiles To Venezuela's Coast

Maduro Boasts He's Moved Thousands Of Russian Anti-Air Missiles To Venezuela's Coast Venezuela’s president has been warning that his armed forces have deployed 5,000 Russian-made Igla-S anti-aircraft missiles across its territory, at a moment President Trump has ordered an unprecedented force build-up in the Caribbean."Any military force in the world knows the power of the Igla-S, and Venezuela has no less than 5,000," Nicolas Maduro said during a televised address to military personnel.Illustrative file imageThe Pentagon confirmed Friday it has redirected a carrier strike group from the Mediterranean to the Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) are of operations to join the significant amount of warships already patrolling waters of Venezuela's coast.On Friday, Trump was asked about recent reports that Maduro offered "everything in his country, all the natural resources" to ease tensions with Washington. Caracas has denied these reports.But contradicting the denials, Trump said at the White House that Maduro had offered "everything" because "he doesn’t want to f**k around with the United States."Weekend reports say that the Venezuelan military continues to deploy additional arms to its coast, in anticipation for possible US military action. Trump has said that "land" targets are an option on the table.It's unknown whether Venezuela's military actually has thousands of Igla-S systems. The weapon is typically compared to the US Stinger missile, as it can hit low-flying aircraft, drones, and helicopters at ranges reaching a little less than four miles.Maduro orders 'ALL' Russian arms to coast opposite Pentagon mass buildup pic.twitter.com/wFvvHxBw0P— RT (@RT_com) October 25, 2025The source Army Recognition writes:President Maduro’s focus on MANPADS (MAN-Portable Air-Defense missile System) SA-24 Igla-S fits a broader picture of Venezuelan point-defense layers built over the past decade, in which shoulder-fired systems complement legacy short-range air defenses and anti-air artillery. Recent technical reviews describe an inventory that pairs MANPADS such as the Russian Igla-S with Sweden’s laser-guided RBS-70, backed by mobile batteries and radar coverage designed to complicate any attacker’s route selection at low altitude. The concept is not to defeat a modern air force outright but to raise attrition and force higher-risk flight profiles.But these short-range missiles will be no match for large American warships, and certainly not the Ford Carrier Group - said to now be en route.

China Envisions 'Dry Canal' To Compete With Panama Canal

China Envisions 'Dry Canal' To Compete With Panama Canal Authored by James Gorrie via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),In response to the Trump administration’s new U.S. policy of reasserting control over the Panama Canal, China and Brazil are exploring the possibility of building a transcontinental railway to provide an advantageous alternative to the Panama Canal. The proposed rail system would potentially run from Brazil’s Atlantic coast, perhaps Ilhéus, Bahia, to Peru’s Pacific coast at Chancay.Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (L) talks to Chinese Ambassador to Brazil Zhu Qingqiao at the Palacio do Planalto in Brasilia on Feb. 3, 2023. Sergio Lima/AFP via Getty ImagesThe project, known as the Central Bi-Oceanic Railway Corridor (CRBC), has been in consideration since at least 2017. Other proposed projects of a similar nature and objectives have been considered since at least 2013. There are other terms applied to the transoceanic railway project, but essentially, the system would cut across the Amazon rainforest and go over—and likely tunnel through—the Andes mountain range, linking Atlantic and Pacific port facilities.Many Obstacles and Risks to OvercomeOf course, there’s often a wide gap between planning a project and actually doing it successfully. There are certainly formidable obstacles that would have to be overcome for the project to move forward to completion. The geographic and topographic challenges are considerable. Clearing a path through the Amazon rainforest or tunneling through the Andes mountains aren’t easy engineering feats.There would also be legal challenges over land rights and environmental resistance to the project and against the development of the necessary supporting infrastructure along the way. The initial costs incurred by each country would also be a significant challenge, as would be establishing a sustainable debt service and maintaining the political will to stick to the plan when these and other obstacles arise.The Trade Advantages Would Be SignificantAlthough it would be a complex, multi-year project with significant costs and engineering challenges, there would also be several advantages in doing so. For one, proponents estimate that it would cut shipping time to Asia by 10 to 12 days. With shipping costs rising and economies struggling, those factors aren’t easily ignored.View of the Chancay "megaport" in the small town of Chancay, 78 kilometers north of the Peruvian capital Lima, on Oct. 29, 2024. The port will be inaugurated on Nov. 14, 2024, by Peruvian President Dina Boluarte and Chinese leader Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima. Cris Bouroncle/AFP via Getty ImagesBut it’s not just a railway system that would be built. The system will be a key addition to the deep-water port that China is building in Chancay, Peru, on the Pacific Ocean. Deep-water ports enable the largest cargo ships and container vessels to dock and transfer their goods quickly and easily, without the complications of moving through various locks and channels that come with relying on the passage through a very crowded and slow Panama Canal transit.A similar deep-water port would be constructed on Brazil’s Atlantic coast, with both ports providing a much smoother and more economical way to move goods around the world.Much More Than Just a RailroadChinese planners envision the CRBC as a comprehensive project that serves the entire trade and transportation cycle. This “dual-track” logistics corridor—combining port infrastructure, rail links, logistics hubs, and industrial zones to permit transit from Pacific to Atlantic (or vice versa)—could well prove to reimagine and redirect global and regional trade flows.It would also reduce the canal’s chokepoint dependencies and potential vulnerabilities. Compared to all of the benefits the proposed railway, the Panama Canal would become seen as more burdensome—not less—to global trade, rendering it a less-desirable, more costly and time-consuming option.The transformative potential of the CRBC project cannot be overstated. It would be a continuation of China’s role as a major player in ports, dams, energy, and other infrastructure in the region.Gaining Strategic Regional Leverage While Avoiding US ControlFrom China’s perspective, the proposed transcontinental rail system is a way to minimize or even eliminate U.S. dominance of interoceanic trading in the region. The proposed overland route would significantly reduce Beijing’s vulnerability to U.S. control, blockades, and trade leverage over canal access.That alone is a compelling reason to pursue the project.But developing an economically superior alternative to the Panama Canal also gives Beijing more leverage and influence over their Latin American trading partners. That influence would largely come at the expense of U.S. influence, thereby diminishing American power in the region. It would also add proof of concept and gravitas to China’s Global South initiative and help expand the BRICS currency influence and use in the Americas.All of these factors would give China added leverage over its Latin American partners. Those countries helping to build and host parts of the railway system will certainly gain strategic importance. At the same time, their dependency on Chinese capital, products, and technical assistance would expand, allowing Beijing to embed itself into those regional governments and economies more deeply.Furthermore, the development of deep-water ports in both Brazil and Peru will give the Chinese regime safe havens to park its rapidly expanding navy, and the pretext to establish and maintain a large and adversarial naval warship presence in America’s backyard. A regional threat on such a scale would have been unthinkable even a few years ago. It could reasonably be compared to the re-colonization of the region.A Multidimensional, Long-Term ImpactBeijing’s plans for the CRBC are as expansive as they are threatening to U.S. regional hegemony and beyond. The resulting impact of the CRBC would be transformational in a multidimensional context, and for the long term. Beijing would reasonably be able to shape trade terms, shipping standards, customs operations, and logistics norms in the region, and much of the rest of the world.If Beijing succeeds in its CBRC plans, it could elevate the blighted Belt and Road Initiative up to a new level and lift China to the pinnacle of global power. The United States, on the other hand, would find itself out-hustled, out-traded, out-funded, and out-gunned by China in the Americas.Let’s hope that the United States has plans to preempt or prevent China’s big move in America’s backyard.Views expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times or ZeroHedge.
