To Lose A War.

 And no--this is not April's Fool joke. 

Sharmine Narwani and Yours Truly ...

 ... discussed the situation couple of hours ago. 

Do Not Forget SMO.

While the world's attention is naturally focused on the Middle East, the annihilation of the NATO's best troops continues in 404. 

Strykers and M1 Abrams tanks are having a very difficult time surviving the modern battlefield. Why those are called "meat storms". Simple--all for PR. Here is the fate of yet another meat storm--an attempt at, of all places, Krasnoarmeisk (Pokrovsk). All for PR, here is the result:

Meanwhile, Russian forces are deep inside Konstantinovka. This is for those people who love to draw all those "arrows" of 404 "counter-offensives" on the map. This is how they all look like. 

"Tactical" Nukes.

 To those who continue to bring here all kinds of "tactical nukes" BS just because they saw a "mushroom cloud".

1. Tactical nuke is defined as such NOT because of its yield, but because of its utility, that is--for solving tactical tasks. If the enemy's brigade spreads over large area and 2 to 5 kilotons are not enough, nobody prevents you from using 100kT device. It still will solve tactical level task only. Here is an example--Motorrifle Battalion attacking in one echelon with tactical nuke. 

Tactical being for achieving the tactical objective. It could be 2 kT, it could be something much more potent if, say, strong point is in the deep bunker. 

2. You cannot use nuke and not be immediately detected and identified by, say, Russia who has an advanced sensor network, including space-based Kupol which can see not only the flash (easily) and will know the nature of the charge, but it will know its yield but sensors will register all damaging factors of nuclear explosion ranging from flash to EMP, to radiation to a seismic event. The US knows this. Its use of nuke will be immediately detected and the user identified. What follows next--even majority nutjobs in D.C. can imagine. 

So, please, stop dragging here all kinds of hysterical X twits by some morons stating that because they saw "mushroom cloud" it is nuke. 

Finland Is Now On Notice.

And this is a "party line" now. 

Finland, in fact, allowing Ukrainian drones flying to Russia through its territory, joined the war with the Russian Federation. Moscow has reason to shoot down drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine right over Finland. The same applies to the Baltic countries. About this "Gazeta. Ru" said the First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Vladimir Dzhabarov. "The fact is that Finland allows drones that fly to Russia through its territory. In fact, it thereby joined the war with Russia. Yes, indirectly, but nevertheless, when letting these drones pass, it must understand that they can cause damage to our country. People can die, so Russia has every reason to shoot down these drones on the territory of Finland," he stressed. According to Dzhabarov, this issue is very serious, but Helsinki does not understand this. "This applies not only to Finland, it applies to all three Baltic states too," he said.

Yep, the preparation has started. This is from the upper chamber of Federal Assembly and senators are usually very reserved in their statements. Well, especially when one considers Dzhabarov's background and his FSB counter-intel rank. Newly reconstituted Leningrad Military District has all means to "correct" the behavior of nutjobs in Helsinki and those who they protect on their territory. Russia knows that Finland allows launches of 404 drones from its territory. NATO? There is no NATO anymore--it is all fiction. 

Township Yarovaya ...

 ... after it was liberated by Russian Army. This is how 60th Motorrifle Brigade of VSU dealt with those civilians who refused to "evacuate" with VSU. First--torturing, then--knives. This happens all over the place in VSU's zone of responsibility--mass atrocities. 

These are darlings of the combined West. That's how they have been "trained" by NATO. In the same time, in the act which defies any logic and morality: 

The finance, energy and central bank governors of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom held an emergency virtual meeting on Monday to discuss measures to stabilize the situation in the Middle East. As a result of the discussion, it was decided to appeal to Russia and China with a request not to restrict the export of fossil fuels, since the war between the United States and Israel on the one hand and Iran on the other is beginning to significantly affect oil prices. Officials attending the meeting expressed deep concern about the uncertainty of the duration of the conflict. They fear that further export restrictions could exacerbate the economic crisis. At the same time, EU policymakers face difficulties due to the need to save in the face of several crises at the same time. No sooner had the meeting participants completed the discussion than US President Donald Trump made contradictory statements on his social networks. He reported on ongoing peace talks with Iran, which at this time continued to bomb gas plants in the Middle East, including Ras Laffan in Qatar, where a fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas is produced.

How typical of the West. No honor, no integrity. Nope, Russia IS NOT coming to save Europe again--let it decompose. 

Wanna energy? Crawl back to Russia and beg her to sell anything at a premium. No sympathy here. Japan? Well, Russia may think about it.
