[Defcon Warning System] DEFCON Warning System - Update 3/13/22

[The DEFCON Warning System Mailing List]

This is the DEFCON Warning System. Alert status for 9 P.M. UTC, Sunday, 
March 13th, 2022. Condition code is Yellow. DEFCON 3.

There are currently no imminent nuclear threats at this time, however 
the situation is considered fluid and can change rapidly.

U.S. intelligence sees no force-wide nuclear change in Russia's nuclear 
posture that go beyond what has been observed in prior moments of 
heightened tensions. Nevertheless, Russia has said that the United 
States has declared economic war against Russia. In the Ukrainian 
theatre, the United States repeats its position that it will not send 
troops to Ukraine and has gone so far to include the prohibition even if 
unconventional weapons are used. Some express concern that this will 
remove a barrier for Russia to use such weapons. However, progress is 
apparently being made in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, 
although details have not been released. Nevertheless, Russia has asked 
China for assistance with its war in Ukraine. The United States warns 
China that China will face consequences if it helps Russia. China is 
unnerved by the strength of the world's condemnation of Russia over its 
invasion of Ukraine.

Iran has put a second military satellite into orbit. Importantly, Iran 
says it will not give up nuclear progress. Nuclear negotiations are 
stalled as Russia has introduced spoilers into the negotiations as 
Russia battles the West over its Ukraine war.

European Union leaders announce intention to collectively rearm in face 
of Russian threat.

Satellite imagery shows construction at North Korea's Punggye-ri nuclear 
testing site for the first time since it was closed in 2018 while South 
Korea's new president-elect pledges tougher stance on N. Korea.

The DEFCON Warning System is a private intelligence organization which 
has monitored and assessed nuclear threats by national entities since 
1984. It is not affiliated with any government agency and does not 
represent the alert status of any military branch. The public should 
make their own evaluations and not rely on the DEFCON Warning System for 
any strategic planning. At all times, citizens are urged to learn what 
steps to take in the event of a nuclear attack. If this had been an 
actual attack, the DEFCON Warning System will give radiation readings 
for areas that are reported to it. Your readings will vary. Official 
news sources will have radiation readings for your area.
