If They Believe That Even ...

 ... at the perceived (stress on perceived) strength GB could do anything about Russians--I am talking about the time of the Cold War 1.0--I have a bridge for sale. Yet, British tabloids continue to lament, having no clue about scale of things. 

Putin has weak, bankrupt Britain in his sights. 

It is difficult to explain to cretins from The Telegraph that Britain was, is and will remain "in sights" of Russia's Strategic Missile Forces as long as London continues with terrorism, false flags and its visceral hatred of Russia. Other than that--Russians do not give a flying fuck about this, indeed bankrupt shithole of a country, while all those cultural treasures of Britain, from Shakespeare to Gainsborough, from Benny Hill to Beatles are beloved in Russia and are kept close to the heart. But in the end, a funny feature of Oreshnik or 3M14M is that it can take out the British blob without touching a livelihood of Londoners and others on the island and allow UK to survive. I know, it hurts for them in all those "exclusive" degree mills and clubs in UK to resign themselves to the realization that UK is simply not significant in a larger scheme of things. 

Meanwhile, Valery Gerasimov gave some updates on SMO today:

Russian forces taken control of over 3,500 square kilometers and 149 settlements in the Ukraine operation since March, Chief of the General Staff General Valery Gerasimov reported in an update on Saturday. He noted that Russia has advanced along nearly the entire front over this time. Gerasimov, speaking at a Defense Ministry briefing in Moscow, also gave percentage figures for Russian territory liberated and outlined plans for further operations. According to Gerasimov, Russian troops “have liberated 99.7% of the territory of the Lugansk People's Republic (less than 60 sq. km remain) and 79% of the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.” He added that 74% of Zaporozhye Region and 76% of Kherson Region are now under the control of Russian forces. All four former Ukrainian regions voted to join Russia in referendums in September 2022.   

While Alastair Crooke correctly states what we all repeat ad nauseam--noises from Washington and EU are just noises. 

Everything is decided on the battlefield. Look at lovely detonations on this Pavlograd toys' factory. 

Evidently NATO's and 404's kids' toys have this propensity for detonation, same as coffee machines and vacuum cleaners at Hamburg's plant for household devices. What a shame, not.
