For Parrots ...

 ... the "experts" who are parroting the same thing over and over again--some are genuinely stupid and are incapable to learn, others are simply malicious trolls. I repeat, to those who still cannot grasp fundamentals of operations and strategy--before calling on Russia to "strike" with extreme prejudice, or "hammer" 404, or strike at NATO--pray to God that there are top notch professionals occupying critical government positions in Moscow and that it is because of them your sorry asses are still alive together with your relatives, children et al. 

Now back to media whores and propaganda. Here is my dear friend Vera arranging Q & A with an officer of Special Forces who gives a "spread" (very professional) on SMO and other things (in Russian). Pay attention of this frontline high level officer saying it all about media, including Russian ones, brainwashing public in terms of 404 strikes on Russian civilians and infrastructure. Including by NOT reporting what is happening in 404 which is burning. 

He also talks about drones. But that's just one topic. At 29:00 he explains in strictly professional military terms for lay people about why "the front doesn't collapse" and repeats what any REAL military professional knows--it is not about territory, it is about annihilation of the enemy within the framework of operational sufficiency. What is this--that's why people get military education. 

To demonstrate the power of BS of media, here is yet another Crimean girl showing you how Crimea is without ... everything. No electricity, no water, food ... ah, wait. 

Meanwhile, in Novosibirsk--a complete collapse, on one of the gas stations there was no ... air. Oh my!

Putin is now isolated and is about to be removed. Russia is about to collapse. 

Never Allow Your ...

 ... couriers to deliver orders through public places with street entertainment. Like in Tula)

But then again, while Kazan is drowning in the summer storm, heroic Kazan delivery drones overcome the elements with flying colors, or rather antennas))

That's my kind of robots)

Oh, The Horror!

Manstein and von Bock are spinning in their graves. In general, Prussian officer corps is dying the second time after observing the mighty Bundeswehr on the march)

If anyone thinks that marching is not important (aka marching drills--строевая подготовка), I have a bridge to sell you--it is a stepping stone to a unit cohesion and part of military culture. Of course, it is just one element of it, but an important one. 

So, judging by this particular formation of Bundeswehr (and Bundesmarine) marching, there are issues, alright. Being sharp not only in the uniform but in posture, poise and movement--this is how average people recognize military people, even when they are not in uniform. Obviously, the cliché that army's worth is known not from the parades but battlefield performance is known to many, but even real parade is a reflection of the army, not to mention the fact that many who never attended any sport before entering military often encounter some minor or even significant issues with coordination--marching in formation addresses it. This is not what you see in this video.   

So, you cannot judge the force on marching alone, but you MUST judge in conjunction with many other factors. Here is Belgian defense cadets (whatever that means) "marching":

They improved ... somewhat this year)) But yes, this is the same military whose Chief of General Staff assured poor dying out Low Countries that Netherlands and Belgium are "bigger than Russia" whatever that means. And I am not going to comment on the OTHER parade, last year, if you know what I mean.  

Oh, But That's How ...

 ... Pentagon and a bunch of amateurs with political pseudoscience degrees think. 

Matt Kroenig has wanted the U.S. to attack Iran for more than a decade. Now that he got the war he wanted and it failed, he is reduced to arguing this: 

To be sure, the United States did not register a knockout punch against the Islamic Republic, but to continue the boxing metaphor, it did win on points. 

War isn’t a sport, and there is no winning on “points.” The ghouls that cheered this war on treat war as if it were a video game where you get more “points” with every person you kill or maim. How many “points” did the U.S. get from massacring the innocent schoolgirls in Minab with missiles? If the U.S. won, as Kroenig insists, what did we win? What does the U.S. have now that it didn’t have before?

If anyone has any doubts about this approach (a euphemism for covering up humiliating losses), allow me to remind you this: 

During the Paris Peace talks to end the war in Vietnam, Col. Harry G. Summers Jr. told a North Vietnamese colonel, "You know, you never defeated us on the battlefield." After pondering the remark, the colonel replied: "That may be so. But it is also irrelevant."

This is exactly how the US views WAR. That is why it loses. One-liners such as "victory in war is determined by achieving political objectives of said war" are not enough for making conclusions on matters of strategy and especially so--operations. So, if some uneducated neocon moron who built his career in deep recesses of Pentagon's political fairy tales office, talks like this--know then, he is coping. But then again, US Ivy League humanities degree mills are an insult to real education in history, international relations and ... well, credentialed idiot Kroenig will not understand basic things about war, a real one.  

Poland Crossed The Point ...

 ... of no return a long time ago. FUD--the only thing NATO can conduct. 

These ARE European Values.

And some high profile arrests do not change the trend. 

A British businessman who became known as the country’s ‘first gay father’ has been charged with child sex offenses, according to media reports. Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, 57, was already facing a number of criminal allegations alongside his current husband, Scott Drewitt-Barlow, 32. The couple, who bought Essex-based football club Maldon and Tiptree FC in 2025, appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court on Monday. They were reportedly hit with 18 additional charges, including rape and child sex offenses. The new charges relate to offenses allegedly committed between 2013 and 2026. According to Essex Police, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow was also charged with two counts of sexual activity with a child, two counts of paying for the sexual services of a child, five counts of rape, and four counts of sexual assault, among other offenses. Scott Drewitt-Barlow faces two additional rape charges and one count of causing or inciting sexual activity.

Huge part of fanatical hatred of Russia among Western so called "elites" and large swaths of Euro societies is a wide spread of sodomy, pedophilia and of other sexual perversions there. As I repeat ad nauseam--the final objective of these people is institutionalization of pedophilia. It has sexual and economic dimensions which is one of the tools of globalists who long ago degenerated into pure Satanists. 

Thus, this whole clusterfuck around the globe has also a very strong religious aspect to it. It is the fight for the heart of civilization in general and Christianity in particular. I am an atheist essentially, but the contrast between Russian Orthodoxy (not without its problems) and the so called Protestantism cannot be starker. Including visually. 

Here is what Protestantism has become. 

But that's the whole other discussion on beauty. 

You Don't Need ...

... to know Russian to see how KP (Command Post) of one of the battalions of 4th Brigade works in support of its storm groups mopping up Konstantinovka.

Real time awareness, laser painting of machine gun ambushes by 404, constant supply of ammo, food and what's needed. There are some other things which the trained eye will notice.
