Why doesn’t Putin relocate Russia’s central command outside of America’s reach to destroy?

24 September 2024, by Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/)

Right now, there is the real prospect of America locating (as its Government hopes to do) its nuclear-tipped missiles in Finland a mere 500 miles away from blitz-destroyng The Kremlin, or else in Germany a mere 900 miles from blitz-destroying it, and maybe even ultimately in Ukraine a mere 300 miles from it; but, if Russia’s central command (now in Moscow) were relocated to Novosibirsk in Russia’s center, this would instead be around 2000 miles away from being attacked by America or anybody; and, so, no such blitz-destruction of Russia’s central command would be even possible. Relocating it to Novosibirsk would give Russia vastly more safety than, say, adding an additional trillion dollars to its defense budget over the next decade would achieve, but would cost far less than a hundred billion dollars, and so save around a trillion dollars in ten years merely by the added international security to the Russian people. And this plan for Russia’s national security would also achieve many other permanent benefits for Russia, on top of that roughly trillion dollars saved. Moscow doesn’t need the federal Government to be located there, it’s losing many hundreds of billions of dollars of otherwise-unnecessary military costs in order to stay there, and Novosibirsk would boom from relocating the capital there. It’s a no-brainer. So, why isn’t it being done? Why hasn’t it already been done?

Russians need to recognize that unless their capital city will become relocated far away from Moscow — toward which America’s NATO has extended its borders closer and closer and will soon be less than a thousand miles away from its missiles — relocated its central command to or near the center of Russia, such as to Russia’s third-largest city, Novosibirsk, which would be around 2,000 miles away from NATO or from any other U.S. colony (such as South Korea and Japan to the east), the U.S. is likely to become able fairly soon to post its missiles within less than a 30-minute missile-flying-time of blitzing and decapitating Russia’s central command — grabbing Russia. From a national-security standpoint, this situation is intolerable; and, so, the risk of WW3 has never been as high as it now is.

I had headlined on 3 March 2024, “Finland’s New President — a CIA Asset — Invites U.S. Nuclear Missiles Into Finland 500 Miles From Moscow” and reported that Finland’s new

President, Alexander Stubb, who is a CIA asset, took office and delivered his first speech as President, and said to journalists “I would start from the premise that we in Finland must have a real nuclear deterrent, and that’s what we have, because NATO practically gives us three deterrences through our membership. … The first is military, i.e. soldiers, the second is missiles, i.e. ammunition, and the third is a nuclear deterrent, which comes from the United States.” He gave as his reasons for Finland’s need of that, “Human life does not seem to have any kind of significance to the current Russian leadership.”

That’s a common viewpoint among the leaders of America’s colonies. And Finland is only 507 miles away from The Kremlin.

So, the handwriting is on the wall, and it is telling Russians that only by relocating its capital to such a place as Novosibirsk can they finally prevent the hyper-aggressive U.S. empire from coming too close to their central command.

Here is a partial list of capital cities that have already been relocated:

U.S. — The U.S. Capitol moved from Philadelphia to Washington DC in 1800.

Finland — Helsinki replaced Turku in 1812 during the Grand Duchy of Finland.

Russia — The original capital, Moscow, was switched to St. Petersburg in 1712, then switched back to Moscow in 1918.

Brazil — Brasilia replaced Rio de Janeiro in 1956.

Pakistan — Islamabad replaced Karachi in 1961 to represent the country’s diverse population.

Belize — Belmopan replaced Belize City after a 1961 hurricane destroyed the city.

Libya — Benghazi to Tripoli in 1963.

Malawi — Zomba to Lilongwe in 1965.

Belize — Belmopan replaced Belize City in 1970 after a 1961 hurricane destroyed the city.

Tanzania — Dar es Salaam to Dodoma, in 1973

Ivory Coast — Yamoussoukro replaced Abidjan in 1983 to serve as the economic capital.

Germany — Bonn to Berlin in 1990.

Nigeria — Abuja replaced Lagos in 1991 due to Lagos’ economic expansion and overpopulation.

Kazakhstan — The capital moved from Almaty to Astana in 1997, to decrease the likelihood of any invasion.

Malaysia — Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya in 2000. Cost to move the capital was $8.1 billion.

South Korea — Seoul to Sejong is in process.

Indonesia — Palangkaraya is planned to replace Jakarta. The estimated relocation-cost is $33 billion.

Egypt — A new administrative capital is being built 30 miles east of Cairo on a 270-square-mile area.

Myanmar — Naypyidaw replaced Rangoon (Yangon) in 2005 so as to be safer against a foreign invasion.

Nineteen countries have done it, and Russia is one of them. So, why not do it yet again?

On 5 April 2023, I headlined “Russia’s only safe response to Finland in NATO is to move Russia’s capital to Novosibirsk” and gave many reasons why that needs to be done. (It should have been done soon after the first of the post-1991 expansions of NATO occurred in 1999.)

Doing this would transform the “Cold War” that we’ve had ever since 1945, greatly reducing the likelihood of a WW3, and only Russia (which is almost twice as large as the world’s second-largest country) is big enough to do such a thing to protect itself from the ferocious imperial appetite of the world’s most aggressive, most hyper-dangerous, nation, the U.S. Doing this might even force an end to the “Cold War,” peacefully. It might even cause the U.S. stock market (which is so dependent on ‘defense’ stocks) to collapse from the huge decline in ‘Defense’ stocks. And then lots of people who now are making weapons to destroy the world, could become freed to make things that will instead improve the world.

So: why hasn’t Putin done this? What is more important to him than Russia’s national security? Probably nothing. So: why hasn’t he already done it? I’d ask him, if I could.
