WOW! Not Enough ...

 ... personnel to commit a massacre against civilians--a euphemism for war crime and crime against humanity. 

Tough talk, tough guys. Right? A complete moral decomposition. Does General Kelly know what real war is? Of course not. He never saw one. 

Simple Comparison.

 Again, it is direct. 

And very imprecise when it comes to Russia, because Russia's numbers are much larger, plus it doesn't compare Combat Potentials and Combat Capability. Combat Capability is a REALIZED Combat Potential. Once qualitative measure is introduced, the whole NATO (US included) looks rather pale in comparison. To put it mildly. I see no point for Russia to have any meaningful relations with Germany (Europe as a whole) because this nation is an enemy of Russia and Russian people. Germany must be kept aware that if it does something stupid Russia can finish it off even without nukes. And yes--I am sick and tired hearing about successes of AfD. It changes nothing and AfD is a primarily former GDR's political power. Western Germans will go again and elect imbeciles and Nazis. Germany made her choice. So did Russia. 

VLADIVOSTOK, Sep 2 — RIA Novosti. Germany's decision on the Russian consulate in Bonn and the Russian House in Berlin jeopardized the work of at least the German diplomatic mission in St. Petersburg and the Goethe Institute, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said on the sidelines of the EEF. "Not only," Grushko said, answering the question whether Germany has created a threat to the work of its Consulate General and the Goethe Institute. He noted that Germany has embarked on the path of escalation, and did not rule out lowering the level of diplomatic relations with this country. Grushko said that a complete break in diplomatic relations with Berlin is not currently being considered, but there are no limits to degradation in this area.

Not just "elites", German people as a whole are enemies of Russia. Anecdotal evidence to the contrary is just that, anecdotal. 

A Reminder.

Vladimir Putin in 1999. 

Now his reaction to Zelensky's (I smell London and Paris behind it) promise to "close skies" over Russia and that flying commercial airplanes will be difficult because of 404 drones. In other words, they are ready (if they can) to attack commercial aircraft--sheer terrorism. Putin reacted in Bishkek today.

The gist--this is state terrorism. Russia doesn't negotiate with terrorists--she kills them. 

Meanwhile thugs from GUR and SBU decided to shoot each-other in Kiev today. 

Good. More, more, more! 

Here is, in the same time, the work of the US Air Defense at its base in Jordan at Camp Titin. Nah, I am screwing with you--what air defense? Iran responded.

More:

After that, intensive operations of medevac helos have been recorded there. Trump and Hegseth will say there were no casualties. 

"Little War"(c)

But the consequences are huge. 

And a reminder of West's approved and supported action in Beslan. 22 years today. 

Russian special services did all they could to save as many as they could. These are bodies of children killed by West supported terrorists. 

Then Gaza, Minab--the pattern is there. 

Naming Some Names.

 They will not be persecuted, sadly. 

Kinda Goes Now ...

 ... without a hitch. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that Moscow was providing Tehran with necessary assistance in its war with the United States, during talks at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Kyrgyzstan, Russian state news agency TASS reported on September 1. The meeting showcases the deepening alignment between two heavily sanctioned states, each fighting a war on its own front, as Tehran leans on Moscow for support and both press the case for a world order less dominated by Washington.

No, it is NOT about "heavily sanctioned", Russia doesn't give a fuck about sanctions--the posture which morons from D.C. will not understand--it is about what already is happening and was happening already since the end of 1990s under the aegis of Primakov's Doctrine. Former Foreign Minister, Prime Minister and Director of SVR--yes, that's Primakov's CV--already knew where this whole West thingy was going. Nowhere good. Plus, Russia, as USSR, traditionally had a massive military and economic footprint in Asia. 

After Putin's 2007 Munich speech Primakov's Doctrine was put into overdrive. After 2008 it became absolutely clear what West has become. After that it was just the matter of technique. Here is a demonstration whose immense significance professionals will grasp in no time. 

This is the second serial MC-21 for Aeroflot. As the first one, it will fly for final acceptance tests and will join the fleet. Same goes for IL-114, the first serial being transferred for local airline in Vladivostok. All Russian-made. Now imagine the scale of technological and supply chains. I'll give you a hint--Airbus, which does make excellent aircraft, requires several nations in Europe to cooperate. None of the Airbus planes are French-made, it is made in Europe, which is now being starved for resources. 

In related news:

US/Israeli military is in full disarray and incompetent. In essence it is a logical end for military which built itself on false narrative. 

P.S. Christian nationalists is a wrong term. 

By Now I Am Not ...

 ... surprised that it came down to this: 

The Pentagon has reportedly hired conservative military veterans with large social media followings to unspecified government positions. The Washington Post reported late Sunday that the Pentagon hired two conservative commentators—Rob Maness, a retired Air Force colonel with more than 135,000 X followers, and Kurt Schlichter, a retired Army colonel with 620,000 X followers—to work in Anthony Tata, the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness. The reports raise questions about transparency and Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's intentions in office. The former Fox News co-host has made efforts to influence the public's perception of the Pentagon, including hiring right-wing press corps to cover the government department while ostracizing other news outlets, leading to lawsuits.

As much as WaPo is a CIA dumpster, I can totally believe this--when one doesn't know how to fight a war (Pentagon doesn't) what's left is to BS people into believing that Hegseth is the second coming of Friedrich the Great. Or Zhukov. But he is not. 

Meanwhile, Banderols are "having an impact" on Odessa, among many other cities in 404, right this moment. 

The shelves of 404 grocery stores are getting emptied by panic rush  demand and catastrophic disruption of supply chains. 

I want to stress again, what I said at Daniel Davis' show today--morons in D.C. as always didn't understand what kind of people they decided to fuck with. Unsurprising for a system which has no Russia's experts and is amateur in matters of war. Anglo-Saxon world was given a chance in WW II to survive and correct itself. It learned absolutely nothing. Not surprising.
