The Only Site Which Might Have Been Attacked...

 ... there...

Ukraine attacked the southern Russian port city of Taganrog with missiles early Wednesday morning, acting Rostov regional governor, Yuri Slyusar, has said. “An industrial site has been damaged,” Slyusar wrote on Telegram, adding that “15 cars were burned down in the parking lot.” “Early reports indicate that no people were harmed,” he wrote. Taganrog, a city of 242,000 people, is located on the coast of the Sea of Azov. It belongs to the Rostov region, which, like other regions bordering Ukraine, has been subjected to frequent drone and missile attacks.

... is a Beriev plant. What and how missiles have been launched we will know pretty soon--but that is the MO of NATO cowards trying to, like a hysterical woman being taken to asylum by orderlies, scratch whatever she can reach. As I say ad nauseam--NATO military "education" and training is a joke.

Looks Like I Have To Repeat...

 ... almost indescribable. Remarkably, it was Hollywood action comedy which captured all that. I will repeat--not a single US military or intelligence personnel knows what real war is.  They don't grasp what that is when the real war comes, Russians will not come to rape their wives and execute their children--this is what US military teaches others to do (some of the US military are having a kick out of it--killing civilians), Russians have honor and dignity of real warriors (unlike some low lives like Anthony Beavor), they will simply kill them all and it will be really fast--they will not suffer the horror and will not expose it to them and make them suffer. Russians don't kill women and children, unlike US and UK "special forces" do just for the sake of some BS "operation", but they should understand this... 

Russian Army is trained to fight NATO with its forces hiding behind civilians. These are the protocols since the Cold War. But what do I know--Washington is filled with cowards who cannot face the real deal. They are very good, though, in rewriting the history.

American Bible Thumpers...

 ... have NO relation to actual Christianity. Evangelical fundamentalists are what amounts to Christian Zionists, that is to Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) based death cults, and, considering US population's lack of any comprehension of war and its consequences--they don't care.  Most of them anyway, because they worship Israel. 

That's US Bible Thumpers condensed to wonderful 2 minutes 31 seconds and it is not surprising that "prosperity Gospel", Christian Zionism and all other manifestations of disgusting circus passing for Church of Christ developed in the US.
 

Should I say more? After all, we know--Jesus Christ was an American. Granted, Scofield perversion of Bible came from Oxford, England first publishing of this abomination.

Life Didn't Stop With Syria's Mess.

In fact, world continued to spin and events in 404 only belay the catastrophe of the West, which increasingly will be pushed towards the natural MO--indirect strategies, terrorism, sabotage. It is too cowardly (and impotent) to fight real opponent. Putin announced the arrival of the new age of warfare, of which yours truly wrote for decades--it was coming and now it is here. 

 

And Then Add Columbia and Venezuela))

This is bordering on fantastical. During his first term he wanted to buy Greenland. Now this))

US President-elect Donald Trump has suggested that Mexico and Canada become US states if they want substantial subsidies from Washington to continue flowing. The incoming US leader made the remarks to NBC News in his first Sunday talk show appearance since winning the presidential election in November. Last month, Trump pledged to impose a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada unless they stop the flow of migrants and drugs to the US. He defended his stance on tariffs to NBC News ‘Meet the Press’, saying that the US subsidizes Mexico by almost $300 billion annually, while Canada gets around $100 billion per year. “We’re subsidizing Canada to the tune over $100 billion a year. We’re subsidizing Mexico for almost $300 billion. We shouldn’t be – why are we subsidizing these countries? If we’re going to subsidize them, let them become a state,” Trump said.

Looks like it was not tongue in cheek, but an idea. Somebody has to inform him that Canada's aluminum production alone dwarfs that of the US and it is a strategic material for aerospace industry. In fact, Canada produces almost 3.5 times more aluminum than the US. Per Mexico, LOL.

For People Who Still...

 ... cannot find the emotional balance. Here is a simpler demonstration of what global power balance is and how it is formed--I will be making a video about it (with Syria's slant, of course) tomorrow:
