TV map reignites fears

On the weekly show Vesti Nedeli a map aired in 2019 highlighting potential US targets. Viewers were shown sites such as the Pentagon, the presidential retreat at Camp David, the Jim Creek naval communications base in Washington and McClellan air force base in California, which closed in 2001.

Rogozin's Greenland alarm

Dmitry Rogozin — former deputy prime minister, ex-head of the Russian Space Agency and once Moscow’s NATO representative — warned that plans around Greenland fit a so-called "Golden Dome" missile-defence concept linking space, AI and layered systems. He argued Greenland’s Arctic position and proximity to Russia offer "advantageous geography" for orbital sensors, ground interceptors and decision-making algorithms, and cautioned that such moves could make the US believe it had nuclear superiority. "This will be the beginning of the end of the world," he said.
