This Is Surprise ...

 ... only for elves and sublime. In reality, the whole system is collapsing. 

MOSCOW, October 8 - RIA Novosti. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is inside Ukraine's corruption schemes, and the purpose of his recent visit to Kyiv was to discuss the further distribution of money, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. Merz and Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Germany Katharina Reiche arrived in Kyiv on October 4 on an unannounced visit. As Reuters reported, during the trip, the chancellor promised to allocate a billion euros for military support for Ukraine.

It was money laundering operation from the get go. And if the US can still crawl away from this debacle, humiliated and exposed as a paper tiger, EU cannot--they bet the house on this whole thing. That is why what is happening may come across as a circus. But this circus has its own logic which is unsustainable and unsurvivable historical turning point for Europe and its "elites". 

Here is Paris. 

Now, to those naive who still populate this forum--only ignorant people can draw parallels with 1968 riots which have been inspired by the CIA to remove De Gaulle. This one is different--it is the collapse of France as such. Anybody who believes that this is about idikeishn (yeah, right) I have a bridge to sell you. These are convulsions of a failed country which cannot and will not exist as unified one. Now, indigenous French suddenly "support" Marine Le Pen. I have a very bad news for them--France will die either with a whimper of a political theater, but if bang comes in a form of mass violence, the weapons will appear really fast and these will not be indigenous white French who will have them. 

Yandex data-center was hit in Ryazan Oblast by 404 drones. It caught fire, Yandex started switching to their other data resources. PR stunt. Well, Russia turned lights off for the whole of Kiev. Two can play the game, guess who wins. 

So, now to laughing at Rubio's speech)) 

Garland Nixon and Yours Truly ...

 ... live in 40 minutes. 

Middle Finger ...

Kiev, meanwhile, is without lights. While birds like this continue to arrive non-stop all over 404. This one is in Dnepropetrovsk. 

Even Financial Times admits that railroads of 404 are effectively paralyzed because most of the engines have been destroyed. Here is a whole train with fuel meets Geranium in Kirovograd Oblast and ...

Rumor has it, Europeans are now trying to establish contacts with Moscow, I see no point in talking to them. 

When Real History ...

 ... catches up with you. 

You Can Immediately ...

 ... spot wishful thinking and coping from this: 

WARSAW, Poland — Ukraine’s drone and missile maker Fire Point is developing an extended-range tactical ballistic missile after its FP-7 weapon was used in combat for the first time on Oct. 1, the company’s CEO Iryna Terekh said during this year’s Helsinki Security Forum. As European nations are bracing for intensified Russian hybrid attacks, defense companies are pitching products for different capability gaps, with European and American producers partnering rather than working in isolation, industry representatives said during the event over the weekend.  ... “Yesterday we launched our ballistic missile onto Russian territory for the first time. It is a tactical ballistic missile for [a range of] 300 kilometers maximum. We are working on a longer [range] version that will also come this year,” Terekh said. “We were able to make this missile in two years as a private company.”

This report is from Poland by a Pole and is along the lines which became so familiar--spread 404 bullshit under the guise of serious military news. For those who are experiencing the onset of dementia I may remind them about this fanfare: 

All the known facts point to so-called Flamingo being the already known FP-5 cruise missile from Milanion Group. In both range and warhead weight it's twice as powerful as Tomahawk but most importantly, it's optimized for mass production. 

That was in 2025. Since then, this wunderwaffe had one or two hits on targets, the rest of this "mass produced" item ended like this. 

Or like this:

While "mass-production" facilities for this Flamingo (Russians call it Hlamingo, Hlam in Russian means rubbish, trash) met its fate here:

Moreover, Pentagon and CIA, who live vicariously through 404 Nazis in their desire to kill Russkies and compensate for a string of military humiliations, continue providing targeting to VSU. Well, everybody has their own coping mechanisms, but it is especially difficult to explain to people who have no clue about real air defense that all Russian AD complexes, including even S1 Pantsir and Tor-M2, not to speak about anything starting from Buk-M2, for which any ballistic targets are standard targets, have shown outstanding interception rate against ballistic targets. But in the end, the fiery end for this production facility, if it ever materializes, is guaranteed.
