Let Them Eat Cake(c)

No, this is not collision. This is stumping a real hyena of Europe. Many attribute this epithet to Poland when Churchill mentions Poland's "appetite like hyena's" prior to WW II in his memoirs. Reality, however, is different--WW II was Germany's "product" and Third Reich's appetites have been global. Germany learned absolutely nothing and in the post-WW II period and in its EU phase successfully stripped many European countries of their wealth and industries. Now, Germany, through Nazi offsprings, controls also European Commission. Unlike Germans, Russians learned their lessons and they now know that Germany is an existential enemy of Russia and no normal relations can exist between the two countries. 

Kazakhstan, meanwhile, for some reason decided that she can play, while being in Russia's underbelly. You have to also take numbers in this video with the grain of salt, especially since it originated in Reuters. However, the news for Kazakhstan (and Germany) are somewhat worrying. 

ASTANA, April 22 - RIA Novosti. Kazakhstan has not received official information from Russia about the termination of the transit of Kazakh oil through the Druzhba pipeline to Germany, said the Minister of Energy of the Republic Yerlan Akkenzhenov. Earlier, Reuters reported thatRussiawill allegedly stop the transit of Kazakh oil toGermanyon the Druzhba oil pipeline from May 1 of this year. Press Secretary of the President of RussiaDmitry PeskovThe day before, he indicated that he was not ready to answer this question and needed to contact the "appropriate companies".

But then, RIA continues: 

"There have been no official statements from the Russian side yet. But according to unofficial sources, we know that this is true. For the month of May, we have transit through Atyrau-Samara, then the Druzhba oil pipeline and then goes to the Schwedt plant (refinery in Germany - ed.). We have zero in May," Akkenzhenov said.

Russia doesn't want to kill Germans. But Germany is existential enemy of Russia and is doing all it can to unleash another war on the continent apart from SMO. In this case, in order to not physically annihilating Germany, the other, more humane way is to choke off Berlin until it either removes its political regime and comes to its senses, or ... well, you know the drill or as Vladimir Putin stated, and I quote, this is full quote unlike snippets from Western media whores:

"We are not going to fight with Europe, I have already said this a hundred times. But if Europe suddenly wants to fight and starts, we are ready right now. With Ukraine, we are acting there surgically, carefully, so that... well, I understand, right? This is not a war in the direct, modern sense of the word. If Europe suddenly wants to start a war and starts it, then a situation may very quickly arise in which we will have no one to negotiate with"

While there is a talk of Kazakh oil being "redistributed" and that it "doesn't affect" anything and is "purely technical issue", the message is clear--Russian can make Europe's life miserable even without weapons. In related news:

Garland and Me ...

 ... live in 30 minutes. Yes, I do look like Dick Cheney, LOL)) 

Since Dubai Issue ...

 ... has surfaced. Well, sand castles do not last, especially selling BS "luxury" to nouveau riches riff-raff and other wannabes. One needs not only money but taste and class. 

Happiness in life is not just the function of money, it is way more complex than that. But then again who of them ever read Chekhov's The Bet. And yes, sometimes the view of the snow-covered mountains and crisp fresh air are worth more than all "luxury" in the world. 

This Is Not Necessarily Surprising.

This was known for a long time. 

Soldiers from the UK’s elite SAS force are resigning in significant numbers over fears of prosecution following human rights investigations into alleged war crimes, British media reports. The probe largely focuses on British special forces operations in Afghanistan from 2010 to 2013, as well as missions in Syria and Northern Ireland. A public inquiry is examining claims that troops carried out extrajudicial killings during night raids, including the shooting of detainees and unarmed civilians, and whether evidence was falsified and senior officers failed to investigate or concealed wrongdoing. Members of 22 SAS, the British Army’s elite special forces unit, have applied for “premature voluntary release,” multiple outlets reported on Monday, citing insiders. The exact number of departures has not been disclosed, though at least two squadrons (D and G) are understood to have been affected.

SAS reports that: “Morale is s**t at the moment,” one insider was quoted as saying. Another source described “considerable disquiet” within the regiment. Lieutenant Colonel Richard Williams told LBC radio on Tuesday the growing number of departures from 22 SAS was driven by concerns among serving troops that actions during operations could later lead to investigations or potential arrest under human rights law. I have news, "morale" will remain shit because it cannot be high even for guys who get themselves into all kinds of special forces in UK (or US) thinking they will be cool, because, apart from SAS getting killed in 404, none of them really knows what it is to actually carry out missions which benefit the country of origin, other than some vague tactical objectives, which in the end serve the government of corrupted perverts. Unless, of course, they are so dumb (I doubt they are--you have to be sharp) that they don't read media. 

Having said all that, killing unarmed civilians is so ... cool in their minds that they will continue to serve the amoral, corrupt regime pretending that they are on service of His Majesty. Sure. Now you understand well where VSU got its "training" from--excelling primarily in atrocities and other shit of this nature. In related news, Odessa (among others) was having a very bright night today:

While bussification of the remnants of the male population of 404 continues. Guess who is in charge now? Right--British generals, who never commanded anything larger than the battalion. 

See the pattern? 

Groundhog Day.

 Medvedev warns. France is delusional. 

Ian Proud And Yours Truly

Discussing things and the "event" you may not know yet but was funny and has shown a lot what you need to know about Europe in general, and UK in particular. 

I am talking about this. 

And how somebody (wink, wink) organized attitude adjustment session for Oxford and how this institution chickened out. We already had plans for Ian, Alexander Mercouris, Steve Jermy and me to have a get together in London. Well, I doubt Oxford will invite me again, so I will have to go to meet my British friends on my own). 

This Is NOT A Joke.

I repeat--this is NOT a joke. This is 404 "unique documentary" on how they shoot down hypersonic ... Kinzhals. 

This is, most likely, the video-confirmation based on which Captain Mitchel concluded in 2023 that: 

The May 4 interception of a Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile by one of Ukraine’s Patriot air defense systems in Kyiv has caused a significant stir in the international missile defense community. The ensuing saturation attack against Kyiv on May 16, which according to Russian sources was specifically aimed at knocking out a Patriot system, has only further underscored the significance of advanced missile defense systems in today’s evolving security landscape. This dramatic first-ever engagement between modern Western air defense systems and the hypersonic weapons specifically designed to defeat them was marked by contrails streaking the skies over Ukraine, literally and figurately underlining the significance of this latest technological revolution.

Physics, of course, is for losers. Real winners study political "science". Of course, there are many other documentary videos from 404, how about single VSU soldier killing 200+ Russians. 

Or Russians "not advancing", or the US "defeating" Iran. There are very many similar documentaries and, believe me, attendees of the premier of the Top Gun: Maverick will believe this ignominious end of Kh-47M2 Kinzhal after being shot down and ...

Yes, this is exactly how M=9 missile falls. Many in 404 (and evidently in Pentagon) believe it. After all, what could possibly compare to the best anti-missile system of them all. 

It is a freak show now.
