Immediate Flaw ...

 ... which shines through in this video:

And this is what happens when you have a degree in ... English Literature instead of military science and military technology. 

1. Jiang Xueqin strangely doesn't talk about what is being done to Israel, which is a devastation, to put it mildly and as the result ...

2. He merely re-narrates Israeli "plans" and views not pointing out that without the West Israel is but a shithole with a pathetic army capable only of punitive and genocidal actions. Good luck creating Greater Israel with that and Israeli "economy". 

3. Parallels to Vietnam are wrong--Iran is not Vietnam and it has a direct geographic link to Russia, albeit North Vietnam has the common border with China. As Eric correctly pointed out about Vietnam War, Jiang Xueqin will be best advised to freshen up on his history (after all he teaches history, right?) and see for himself who has been doing the bulk of fighting and dying in Vietnam War and that wasn't the US. Correct, it was ARVN. The US did the only thing it can do well--bomb. 

The only bright spot in his statements was correct pointing out that the US didn't fight the real war in decades. Right. In fact, culturally, resources-wise, operationally and socially the US cannot fight real combined arms operations of scale--it simply doesn't have military DNA for it. Nor, presently, economy is even remotely comparable (adjusted for time period) to the US massive industrial output in 1965-1975. And even then, inability to sustain the war forced Nixon to abandon gold standard. He talks about it all as if this is not happening, but it is ...

Every day and there is panic in D.C. none of them knows what to do. I want to remind AGAIN ... 

Each war represents an isolated case, requiring an understanding of its own particular logic, its own unique character (c) A.A. Svechin. Strategy. 

Memorize it, internalize it. 

A Little Bit With Jackie Venson ...

Moscow proposed a quid pro quo to the U.S. under which the Kremlin would stop sharing intelligence information with Iran, such as the precise coordinates of U.S. military assets in the Middle East, if Washington ceased supplying Ukraine with intel about Russia. Two people familiar with the U.S.-Russia negotiations said that such a proposal was made by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev to Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during their meeting last week in Miami.

Read my lips. It never happened. Simple as that. Moscow didn't propose anything like this. Cope harder, losers. 

MOSCOW, March 20. /TASS/. Kirill Dmitriev, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, head of the RDIF, called the publication of Politico that he allegedly handed over to the United States Russia's proposal to stop the transfer of intelligence to Iran in exchange for the cancellation of assistance to Ukraine. "Fake," Dmitriev wrote in X, citing a Politico publication. He also thanked Rep. Anna Pauline Luna (R-Fla.) for warning in advance of a "massive media fake news campaign" aimed at undermining "progress."

"Free Press" is a collection of prostitutes--literally. 

Nima, Larry Johnson and Colonel Wilkerson.

Excellent discussion.

Delivering FABs with UMPK ...

 ... do you remember those statements that RuAF is essentially grounded? Well, this is grounded RuAF delivering goodies. Su-34.

Su-25s are rotating non-stop, with insane operational tempo. 

In related news, Lord have mercy on me, Japan continues to produce ugliest EW planes ever. Here is the newest on, EC-2, plane of the long-range EW. 

If you think Japan did it the first time. Well, here is an older version of early warning thingy. Granted, Japan flew one, while the design was ... Israeli. EL/M-2075 Phalcon. As you can see yourself--it was a maimed B-707. 

Yeah, I know.
