Semantics.

Recall Orwell, newspeak--it is all about neurolinguistic programming. The removal or obscuring the meaning. 

"He slammed", "she scorched", "they annihilated" and on, and on, and on. This is how not only herpes of American legacy journalism talks using aggressive militant rethoric, this is how US top brass expresses itself. It is a pathetic attempt at hiding own impotency and failure. Remarkably, real military professionals in Russia continue to express themselves even at the highest political level in dry, precise military terms. If misunderstood--they will give you a precise definition, a meaning that is, of the terms they use. Here Commander of CENTCOM Admiral Brad Cooper is being brought back to reality in purely linguistic terms. 

The Visit Has Officially ...

 ... begun. Now to real work. 

Let Me Tell You ...

 ... immediately comes to mind ... Chicago, 1979, American Airlines Flight 191. DC-10. Now ... same type of plane MD-11, exactly same horror--losing engine at the take-off. 

The reasons for two crashes are different of course, in case of AA Flight 191 all possible instructions during servicing and reattaching left engine have been violated, including forced tightening of the the bolt. Here--metal fatigue.

Financial Times ...

President Xi Jinping told US President Donald Trump during their high-level summit last week that Russian President Vladimir Putin may ultimately end up regretting his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The revelation, first reported by the Financial Times citing officials familiar with the US assessment of the Beijing summit, comes at a delicate diplomatic moment. The information surfaced just as Putin is about to arrive in China for a critical bilateral summit with Xi.

But then ...

Well, from the boss' mouth, verbatim. Real boss meanwhile ...

For simpletons who believe that Putin's visit is somehow related to Trump's--I have a bridge to sell. This visit has been in preparation for a long time and 40+ contracts are to be signed and communique to be issued including declaration of the fait accompli of multipolar world. In related news, Boeing confirmed contract for 200 aircraft, primarily B-737 with the option of additional 750. It will be interesting to see what will be agreed upon between China and Russia in this sector.
