Madrid Is Beautiful ...

 ... in summer. They say it is Madrid. This might as well be Paris or Rome. 

And you all know by now what is happening in Ceuta. Here it is. 

In Spain they voted for that. This is civilization in a process of decomposition and it cannot be changed. In France it cannot be changed because a huge portion of French population is like that, but much of it was born in France and you can do nothing about it--they will vote for globalists. Euro militaries are emasculated and impotent and they cannot save their countries. Euromales have been also emasculated and care only about sports. 

Now, from the other fronts so to speak. 

The real number of Ukrainian servicemen out of action significantly exceeds the official statements of Kyiv, TASS reports. The Russian security forces noted that the statistics take into account both the killed and the seriously injured. ... "Zelensky again estimated the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at 50 thousand people. He made the corresponding statement in an interview with Fox News. Recall that the real figure, according to various estimates, has long exceeded 1 million people and today is up to 3 million people, including seriously wounded, "said the agency's interlocutor.

So, you see--this is how Pentagon generals "fight"--they don't know any other way.  As Gevorg Mirzoyan concludes (correctly) what is happening right now with Trump and Iran, where the US is stuck like that proverbial porn actress in a couch or a dryer, if you know what I mean, and why US cannot leave, is this:

Yes, it will be a humiliating defeat – but hardly less humiliating than after Afghanistan and even more so Vietnam. Yes, the value of the United States as an ally for the Middle Eastern monarchies will fall, but even after that, they will not look for any alternatives. Yes, Iran will remain nuclear – but it will be nuclear anyway. Yes, the departure will be a blow to Trump's rating - but if the US president, for example, is able to seize Cuba before the midterm elections, then he will win back all the rating losses. After all, for the American population, the capture of the Island of Freedom is much more important than some Middle Eastern stories. However, Trump dismisses this pragmatism. Not because he is stupid or stubborn, but because there is much more at stake in the Iranian campaign now than his personal status or even the Iranian atom. The stake in this campaign is the entire Western-centric world order. In the lid of the coffin, in which Iran is now hammering the third nail - after two Russian ones.

The fate of human civilization is at stake. The fate of combined West is sealed. 

About Credentialed Morons.

And BSers. Here is one. 

Fast talking bimbo, who is very credentialed from the system which cannot find its own ass with both hands in the brightly lit room.

Dr. Heinrichs served as a commissioner on the bipartisan Strategic Posture Commission, which was created in the Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act. She also serves on the US Strategic Command Advisory Group and the National Independent Panel on Military Service and Readiness. She is an adjunct professor at the Institute of World Politics, where she teaches nuclear deterrence theory, and is also a contributing editor of Providence: A Journal of Christianity and American Foreign Policy. Dr. Heinrichs earned her doctorate in defense and strategic studies from Missouri State University, where she graduated with distinction. She received her MA in national security and strategic studies from the US Naval War College and graduated with highest distinction from its College of Naval Command and Staff, receiving the Director’s Award for academic excellence. She earned her BA in history and political science from Ashland University in Ohio, was an Ashbrook Scholar, and currently serves as a member of the University's Board of Trustees.

In other words, she is a product and an exhibit A of US military degree mills where "strategery" is taught by such specimen as Sarah Paine and the whole thing is built around confabulated military history and operational data which even Hans Christian Andersen wouldn't use in his fairy tales. Defense and Strategic Studies, whatever passes under this title in the US, for decades have produced people, including top military brass, who wouldn't be able to fight their way out of wet paper bag. So, what's left? Correct--BS. And that's what Heinrichs delivers with flair and panache. Ask this "doctor" about operations and how they are planned in modern technological paradigm. Per nuclear deterrence she "teaches"--LOL)) She will not be able to make a connection between serial production of S-500 and 550 and US nuclear credibility, but what do I know. Rephrasing Stalin--I do not have other strategists for you(c). A freak show, really. 

It Was A Very Active Night ...

... in 404, if you know what I mean. Lvov, Kiev, Chernovtsy--you name it. Geraniums, Iskanders, X-101s, Zircons. The works. 

For some reason they closed the access to bomb-shelter (metro station likely) and the crowd was not happy. 

Meanwhile, France just lost the whole town Le Porge (that what is reported)--gone. Burned to ashes. 

My heart breaks for people there. 

GRAB Money and Run.

 Or how desperation looks like. 

Egyptian Port Damietta ...

 ... and the American LNG vessel (used as storage) is hit. 

Meanwhile battle for Slavyansk accelerated. Here is Nikolaevka. 

You see what is going on?

That is why Russia "is losing war" today especially badly. They know they lie, that is why it makes even worse for them--terrorists, war-mongers and losers, capable only of PR. After Slavyansk--it is a straight road to Pavlograd and Dnepropetrovsk. 

Nima and Me.

 Live in 10 minutes. 

It Is a Funny Sketch ...

 ... but creators of it are very light on history. 

20 millions, really? How about USSR alone lost 27. But here is another issue. 

This is Private Semen Konstantinovich Hitler (Hitler in Russian is Gitler).

From a Jewish family. Fought heroically (was a machine gunner), was awarded Medal for Valor. KIA in 1942 during defense of Sevastopol. Obviously, with the name like this he was known and still is known, as many heroes of that war. It is not the name, it is who bears it that matters.
