In the last 24 hours, The Buzzer—Russia’s infamous UVB-76 shortwave station—has blasted out four rapid-fire coded messages, marking its busiest burst of activity since the Cold War era.

China has near-monopoly power over elements essential to modern US technology and defense industries.

Over past days European leaders have adopted increasingly stark language, reflecting how the drone incursions and other hybrid actions are being interpreted as part of a broader escalation cycle. Several key threads stand out.

Few fully grasp the gravity of the phrase “existential threat.” It denotes an extinction-level event—and Russia now views the escalating series of developments around its borders as precisely that. This framing is not simply rhetorical; it aligns directly with Russia’s nuclear doctrine, which permits the use of nuclear weapons in response to conventional attacks that threaten the survival of the state.

We are in the midst of one of the most perilous escalations between nuclear powers in decades. The real weapon may not be the drones themselves, but the uncertainty they sow—forcing adversaries to make decisions in the dark.

Imagine looking up from your home in Miami, Chicago, or anywhere in hometown America—and seeing Russian drones or MiG fighter jets overhead. That unsettling scenario is now a daily reality for many in Eastern Europe.

Drs. James Lacatski and Colm Kelleher framed the assessment of UAP threats around two central concepts: capacity and intent. Both concurred that UAPs possess the capacity to pose a national security risk, yet neither identified conclusive evidence of hostile intent—they did however stress their apparent ability to manipulate human perception. In this context, AATIP would transcend AAWSAP in analyzing the specter of a national security threat.

Twice in the last century, world war has erupted in Europe during this season. The events of recent weeks and months serve as a sobering reminder that history often echoes itself in unsettling ways.

“The Cold War remained largely cold because rational leaders, on all sides, remained rational. We may now be in a new age.”

Quote from—"The Sword of Damocles: Our Nuclear Age," by Michael and James Hall (Audible, Kindle & Amazon Books)

The central takeaway from this hearing—after four years of consistent bipartisan interest by Congress—The US and its foreign adversaries are in a race to master and control this technology. Whoever succeeds first will hold a decisive advantage over the world..

We are the White Rabbit!— and we can do anything.

We as a community of souls can do anything!

The question was raised: how many times in eighty years must UAP fly over nuclear or military assets to satisfy their curiosity?

As one observer put it, “These things are not just doing routine reconnaissance. They are flying training sorties! Yet—who and what are they?”

“She’s not just speculating — she’s saying this is based on classified imagery and credible witness testimony she’s personally reviewed in a SCIF.”

As fragile hopes for a Russia–Ukraine peace deal build around Friday’s Alaska summit between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, it’s timely to revisit a passage from “The Sword of Damocles: Our Nuclear Age”—now available on Audible.

“I have the report of the Montana crash . . . Out of the scorched and twisted wreckage the authorities picked certain remains of a human being. This human being must have been a child . . . It remains to be worked out.”

What Kelly Johnson and his Lockheed engineers saw in 1953 bears a striking resemblance to today’s Northrop B-2 Spirit bomber.

When will humankind stop walking into the face of Armageddon?
