A Very Good Text ...

 ... on Thatcher (in Russian). Use google translate. 

Thatcher's witchcraft continues to rule Britain. Right-wingers and libertarians celebrated the 100th birthday of their beloved Maggie with pomp. I have never understood the love for her of people who do not have at least ten million pounds in papers and property in London. I'll congratulate her too. On April 13, 2013, when Thatcher died, hundreds of thousands of Britons took to the streets. The song Ding-Dong! "The Witch Is Dead" (a song by the Wizard of Oz) peaked at number two in the UK and number one in Scotland. The north of England, Wales, mining towns, Scotland rejoiced at the death of a politician who changed their fate. It was not personal hatred, but a reaction to a structural upheaval: the completion of the post-war compromise between the upper class and the lower classes. Thatcher restored wealth to the elite, freeing them from social obligations. It did not revive the empire, but found a way to extract rent from it for several more decades.

Yes, that's the new rentier class in the West--incapable of creation and building anything, only being a parasite.

Once in a blue moon an indispensable book comes out making a clear case for sanity in what is now a post-MAD world. That’s the responsibility carried by “The (Real) Revolution in Military Affairs,” by Andrei Martyanov (Clarity Press), arguably the most important book of 2019.

Saker's Review.
The above summary does not do justice to Martyanov’s truly seminal book. I can only say that I consider this book as an absolutely indispensable “must read” for every person in the USA who loves his/her country and for every person who believes that wars, especially nuclear ones, must be avoided at all costs.

Asia Times About The Book

Asia Times About The Book
In Losing Military Supremacy, his latest, groundbreaking book, crack Russian military-naval analyst Andrei Martyanov deconstructs in detail how, “the United States faces two nuclear and industrial superpowers, one of which fields a world-class armed forces. If the military-political, as opposed to merely economic, alliance between Russia and China is ever formalized – this will spell the final doom for the United States as a global power.”
