Russia's space agency published the coordinates of Western defence headquarters including the U.S. Pentagon and the venue of NATO's summit on Tuesday, saying Western satellite operators were working for Russia's enemy - Ukraine.
Dmitry Rogozin, head of Roscosmos, told the Russian RIA Novosti news agency: "The entire conglomerate of private and state orbital groupings is now working exclusively for our enemy."
"Today, the NATO summit opens in Madrid, at which Western countries will declare Russia their worst enemy," Rogozin wrote on his Telegram social media channel.
"Roscosmos publishes satellite photographs of the summit venue and the very 'decision centres' that support Ukrainian nationalists."
The posting included Russian satellite pictures of the summit venue in Madrid, the Pentagon, the White House in Washington, British government buildings in central London, the German Chancellery and Reichstag parliament building in Berlin, NATO headquarters in Brussels, and the French president's residence and other government buildings in Paris.
"At the same time, we are giving the coordinates of the objects," Rogozin added. "Just in case."
The coordinates, expressed as degrees of latitude and longitude, are freely available.
Russia calls its invasion a "special military operation", saying it had to act to protect Russian speakers from persecution and prevent NATO using Ukraine to threaten Russia's security. Kyiv and NATO dismiss this reasoning as a baseless pretext for war.
On the eve of the NATO meeting in Madrid, at which Russia is expected to be declared the most dangerous threat in the world, the Russian Space Agency made an interesting post to their web site: The GPS Coordinates of certain "decision-making centers" around the world.
While at the upcoming summit of the alliance, representatives of 30 participating countries and their sympathizers will declare Russia the number one evil, Roskosmos published entertaining satellite images - those same "decision centers" -- or rather, their coordinates -- just in case .
The coordinates are for:
- The White House in Washington, DC
- The Pentagon
- #10 Downing Street in London, England
- Le Palais d' Le Elysee in Paris, France
- The German Chancellery (Bundeskanzleramt) in Berlin, Germany
- NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium
Now, most reasonable people would view this as a terse reminder that Russia can reach out and touch anyone they want; especially folks who are being intentionally "unfriendly" or even hostile.
Of course, the political weaklings of the West will likely start whining that this is some sort of threat, while in actual fact, it is merely a statement of reality.
Before the west goes and declares Russia to be the most evil one, perhaps they should look in the mirror at their own actions: Financing, inciting and fomenting the overthrow of the Ukraine government in 2014. Installing a puppet regime in Ukraine. Moving to bring Ukraine into NATO for the purpose of placing US missiles (aimed at Russia) on to Ukraine soil with a flight time of only about 5 minutes to Moscow. Telling Ukraine to "ignore" Russia's pre-special military operation ultimatum, and now, supplying deadly weapons to Ukraine, to be used to kill Russians.
It is the West that has done all these things. It is the West who is the aggressor.
Russia is reminding the West that Russia isn't some backwards, third-world country like Iraq they're playing around with. Russia isn't playing.
