They Really Wanted It.

But that is just the warmup. 

Or this:

You may ask--Pavlograd? Sure, ammo depots hidden in civilian warehouses is nothing new. And they should be destroyed. Here is Pavlograd on the map:

It is a short distance from Dnepropetrovsk. But it is also a critical supply hub to Slavyansk-Kramatorsk Festung, which NATO so carefully built for the last 10 years.

There is very little after Slavyansk and Kramatorsk on the way to Pavlograd and, consequently, left bank of Dnepr. Medvedev was pretty explicit in describing the situation: 

KOKOSHKINO (Tver region), July 30 — RIA Novosti. Russia is now at a very important point in the completion of the special military operation, said Dmitry Medvedev, chairman of the United Russia party, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council.

See highlighted in yellow? I talk also about the 3rd grade math in my today's video. 

Typical Medvedev.

LOL)) Now imagine this guy becoming the President of Russia. 

His chances are very high, not to mention the fact that he knows the job well, he used to be the President himself and he is a second man in hierarchy in Moscow. The only thing which we have to expect is the endorsement by Putin before the next election cycle. 

Speaking of which--announcement: for people who continue to bring here all kinds of fantasies by Helmer. I will start banning people, Helmer sells a complete BS about Russia's military-political power of whose MO he knows nothing but whatever rumors he collects hanging around some people of note. There are no "Peskovites" in Kremlin--Peskov is nobody but a talking head who says whatever is told him to be said. He has no political clout, no real power and could be replaced the moment he stops saying and doing things which are in line with a strategy of military-political top (Военно-Политическое Руководство) of Russia. For those who still don't get the message--here is the list of people in Russia's Security Council from Kremlin. You may notice that Sergei Ivanov is not there anymore, yes--he was removed. But that is where political and strategic decision-making power of Russia is concentrated. 

That's The Only Language ...

... combined West, and especially Europe, understand. Dmitry Medvedev knows it well. 

The ruling European dimwits want a war in Europe after all. It’s been said a thousand times: Russia won’t accept any European or NATO troops in Ukraine, but no, Micron keeps peddling this pathetic bullshit. Well, come on then. This is what you’ll get:

There are still people who do not understand what is happening. Reports from Kiev indicate that the city is paralyzed--no water, heat, rolling blackouts et al. And this is just Kiev, same is happening in other major cities in 404. I want to stress--as impressive as Oreshnik's effects are, do not forget that Russia unleashes daily salvo after salvo of such stand-off weapons as Iskander-M (with the range of 1,000 + km, surprise-surprise), hypersonic Kinzhal and 3M22 Zircon and a variety of 3M14 Kalibrs and long range Geraniums. This will continue, until 404 is brought back to its original pre-Russia state.

Meanwhile, about REAL military education:

The Chelyabinsk Higher Tank Command School will resume its operations after a 19-year hiatus and will be one of the three military universities planned to be reopened in 2026. Alongside it, the Ulyanovsk Higher Military Aviation School for Pilots and the Novocherkassk Higher Military Command School of Communications will also begin operations. The revival of the educational institution is part of a large-scale program of the Ministry of Defense to expand the military education system until 2034, according to media reports citing sources in the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Yep, 6 academic years, heavy STEM, engineering schools with young officers who are graduated with a specialist degree in STEM (from system integration to weapon systems design) and an equivalent of Bachelor of Science in Military Sciences. This list is just the beginning of a return to Soviet system of military education of officer corps. Larch sent me today an article in Izvestiya. And here is an advertising for legendary Moscow Higher Military Combined Arms Command School (MVVOKU), aka Kremlin Cadets.

I cannot stress enough the academic and experience abyss separating NATO's officer schools and that of Russia. There is no comparison.

Reading And Hearing ...

 ... "comprehension". Mr. Medvedev lives in a free country and he merely reminded the US that, in his own words:

Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10… He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don't go down the Sleepy Joe road!

But Donnie and Washington are very sensitive and are on the brink of nervous collapse:

Obviously Trump, being a crybaby and a narcissist bordering on a complete psychiatric case, is incapable to grasp modern world and now that the US military was paraded as a paper target and numbers of KIAs from 404 reach 1.8 million--Donnie, this is YOUR war. You and of your master in Israel. Yes, Gaza too--a crime against humanity. Hence the hysteria.

 

I made a video today about a way strategic missile submarines operate--it should be up shortly--but:

India has not issued any directive to its oil refiners to halt purchases of Russian crude, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The decision comes as the Indian government navigates its energy security needs while managing diplomatic ties with Moscow and avoiding further tensions with US President Donald Trump. 

One cannot constantly lie, blatantly, as Trump does. And the issue here is not just India, it is the fact that intellectual and professional level, or rather lack thereof, of the US military-political elites is that of the worst cases of the so called Third World. Moral and intellectual decomposition accelerates. 

Larry wrote an excellent expose': 

The latest issue of American Thinker just published a piece that puts moron in the term, oxymoron. The piece is titled, Perpetual Russian Wars, and is written by Jacob Fraden, who was born in Russia and arrived in the United States in 1977. I am taking a wild guess here, but I suspect that he is Jewish and that his parents left the Soviet Union as part of the Soviet Jewry Movement. The Soviet Jewry Movement emerged as a global campaign in support of Soviet Jews (“refuseniks”) who were denied the right to emigrate, facing both official restrictions and persecution. The movement gained international attention after high-profile events such as the 1970 Leningrad hijacking attempt, in which Soviet Jews tried to draw the world’s attention to their desires for emigration by attempting to commandeer a plane to escape to the West. Why am I focusing on this guy? The lies in his article are breathtaking. I think he has a clear agenda… Promote a war to destroy Russia.

Correct, always a lie. But yes, Russia is the only country on Earth which can wipe the US off the map. Just the cold hard fact. 

Excellent From Larry ...

 ... and Medvedev))

Sometime in the next decade, I think the publishers of Roget’s Thesaurus will include, “Trump” as a new synonym for erratic. Trump executed another of his signature volte face during a meeting with his cabinet.

Former Russian President Medvedev, wasted no time skewering Trump with this post:

Read the whole thing at Larry's blog. 

For Those Who Still Can Not Grasp ...

 ... the scale of the event. 80th is more than just Victory Day, it is pinning Europe (original West) down where it belongs--as the generator of aggression and genocide in the 20th Century. When I say that SMO is the final salvos of WW II I mean it. What is happening in Moscow today is formalization of the historic fact of civilization shifting to the East. The excitement, the emotion can be seen here in Myanmar (Burma) company singing Katyusha, in Russian no less, before entering the Red Square for rehearsal. The atmosphere is electric ...

I am sure Kiev was warned, including through the statement of Dmitri Medvedev, that if any attempt will be made on Parade, Kiev will cease to exist, including all political top of 404 and scumbags from London who prop this neo-Nazi regime up. Per General Kartapolov, Oreshnik should be on the Parade. We'll see soon enough. 

This Is Absolutely One Of The ...

 ... most important statements from Putin not that it is new but in its openly aggressive repudiation of what has been done to Russia by the parasitic strata of thieves and degenerate "creative class" which serves them. 

"What ... b... ' (he almost says this-blyat') elites', they stole money somewhere, fan their fingers and call themselves elite? What elite? Those who defend Motherland--that's the people, that's the elite. Future belongs to them. And it will not be scary to leave the country to these people." The passion in this statement, the openly expressed contempt to a huge portion of the so called liberda and those who continue to work for them, especially "creative" class. This short 20 second segment is one of the most powerful POLICY statements from Putin in a long time. 

Meanwhile, while Russians have been blessing and eating their kulichi with all kinds of people: 

Dmitry Anatolievich Medvedev prepared his kulich. 

NATO, European especially, should pray for the health and longevity of Vladimir Vladimirovich, because the guy who comes after him ... boy, I wouldn't want to be a globalist or neocon shill. And yes, these people who come (already are coming) as new Russian real elites--they are not coming unlike victorious Red Army soldiers in 1945 to hungry and utterly demolished country. Nope, these guys are already the part of thriving economic and military superpower. And as Daniel correctly noted today during our conversation--when even fanatical neocon Keane recognizes what has happened, that tells you something. The next few days will tell us if DJT will use the offramp which is now ready, now is the time to take it. 

Medvedev In His Parting Words To Biden ...

 ... allows for this, after describing a complete degeneration of his Admin. The Walking Dead, The End of the Season. 

Lately, he clearly did not fully understand what was happening. Yes, it must be admitted that such a war is beneficial to the US economically. But the political costs and the real threat of a fatal conflict are much more serious. But the old man was not ready for this. This is the case when the head of the world's largest power completely failed to cope with the situation. As a result, the Democrats lost the election miserably. If Biden's problem is his inadequacy, then his Administration's fault is that on the Russian track it deliberately left a very difficult crisis legacy for its successors. The harmful bookmarks of Biden's decisions will take a long time to manifest itself. And therefore, it will be extremely difficult to communicate. Full normalization of Russian-American relations will take decades.  Although, in my opinion, in the current reality it is basically impossible. And quite frankly, it is unclear whether it is needed at all...

Here, the highest political level of Russia talking. And if to prove these points:

МОСКВА, 19 янв — РИА Новости. От системы SWIFT надо отказаться, чтобы избежать утечек информации, заявил глава ВТБ Андрей Костин в интервью, которое журналист Павел Зарубин опубликовал в Telegram-канале. "SWIFT надо убить просто-напросто, в хорошем смысле слова, отказаться от него и больше с ним не работать. Это прямая утечка информации к нашим недругам <…> и главное, что это настолько просто решить — это чисто административное решение, договоренности двух сторон и немножко технологических решений, вот и все", — сказал Костин. Несколько лет назад SWIFT была главной системой для обработки платежей — через нее проходили почти все банковские операции в мире. Но в 2014 году, когда западные страны впервые пригрозили отключить Россию от системы, крупные страны стали создавать альтернативы. В России появилась Система передачи финансовых сообщений (СПФС).

Translation: MOSCOW, January 19 — RIA Novosti. The SWIFT system should be abandoned to avoid information leaks, VTB CEO Andrey Kostin said in an interview that journalist Pavel Zarubin published on his Telegram channel. "SWIFT should be simply killed, in a good sense of the word, abandoned and no longer used. This is a direct leak of information to our enemies <…> and the main thing is that it is so easy to solve — it is a purely administrative decision, an agreement between the two parties and a few technological solutions, that's all," Kostin said. Several years ago, SWIFT was the main system for processing payments — almost all banking transactions in the world went through it. But in 2014, when Western countries first threatened to disconnect Russia from the system, large countries began to create alternatives. The Financial Message Transfer System (SPFS) appeared in Russia.

As Medvedev pointed out (collective) Biden had no clue what he was getting the combined West into. Many still don't, including in this blog, continuing to discuss things which are not there, such as totally made-up (in their vivid imaginations) intentions of Russia and her military-political top. But never mind, now this creep from Biden's NSA (likely an illiterate "intel" asset), Eric Green, does what all of them do best--lies.

“We were deliberately not talking about the territorial parameters,” says Eric Green, who served on Biden’s National Security Council at the time, overseeing Russia policy. The U.S., in other words, made no promise to help Ukraine recover all of the land Russia had occupied, and certainly not the vast territories in eastern Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula taken in its initial invasion in 2014. The reason was simple, Green says: in the White House’s view, doing so was beyond Ukraine’s ability, even with robust help from the West. “That was not going to be a success story ultimately. The more important objective was for Ukraine to survive as a sovereign, democratic country free to pursue integration with the West.” 

The CYA (Cover Your Ass) has started in earnest. Washington is seeded with credentialed cretins who do not understand the scale of crime against humanity and war crimes they committed. And this is a rare point where I and Scott diverge--Russians have no reverence for war criminals be them from CIA or political top and here is someone who stands by her words, since this is the official Moscow's position. 

Официальный представитель МИД России Мария Захарова заявила, что виновные в зверствах против жителей Курской области будут наказаны, но на международные структуры в этом вопросе надеяться не стоит. Международные организации, по ее словам, продолжают игнорировать массовые убийства мирных граждан, совершаемые украинскими неонацистами, и отказываются от расследования преступлений киевского режима, передает РИА «Новости». Захарова отметила, что Запад, поощряя киевский режим, делает вид, что не замечает грубого нарушения международного гуманитарного права и Женевских конвенций. «Это именно то, что государства коллективного Запада ждут от бандеровцев. Цинично отводят взгляд от их преступных деяний», – заявила она. Российские следственные органы проведут все необходимые действия для выявления виновных, и они понесут заслуженное наказание. Захарова добавила, что это будет происходить аналогично многим другим выявленным преступлениям киевского режима. «Мы сделаем это сами», – уверенно заявила она. 

Translation: The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated that those guilty of atrocities against residents of the Kursk region will be punished, but there is no point in relying on international structures in this matter. According to her, international organizations continue to ignore the mass murder of civilians committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis and refuse to investigate the crimes of the Kyiv regime, RIA Novosti reports. Zakharova noted that the West, encouraging the Kiev regime, pretends not to notice the gross violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions. "This is exactly what the states of the collective West expect from the Banderites. They cynically look away from their criminal acts," she said. Russian investigative bodies will take all necessary actions to identify the perpetrators, and they will receive the punishment they deserve. Zakharova added that this will happen similarly to many other crimes of the Kyiv regime that have been identified. "We will do it ourselves," she confidently stated.

Identities of people, from the top military-political echelon down to ground level "advisers" from MI6, CIA, Polish orgs etc. are largely known--they aided Nazis and atrocities, and I don't buy for a second those stories about super cool CIA or Special Forces dudes who can face down the "toughest" enemies. They can't. This issue will be (with a very high probability) discussed between Russia and the US, or rather for starters with this Kellogg dude who knows about real war as much as I know about Chinese choreography. I am sure he will watch Rambo movies prior to talking to Russians to update himself on current events.

Well, Well, Well...

 ... not only him, but that's a good start;)) 

МОСКВА, 20 мая. /ТАСС/. Президент Украины Владимир Зеленский после капитуляции Киева должен быть арестован и предан суду либо же ликвидирован, как террорист. Об этом заявил ТАСС зампредседателя Совбеза РФ Дмитрий Медведев. "Дальнейшая (после капитуляции Украины - прим. ТАСС) судьба Зеленского нам не безразлична. Он должен быть пойман и предан суду за преступления против граждан России и украинцев. При невозможности доставки такого преступника должны применяться правила, практикуемые для террористов", - подчеркнул Медведев. "Именно такая судьба постигла духовного учителя Зеленского - Степана Бандеру", - напомнил он. 

MOSCOW, May 20. /TASS/. After the capitulation of Kyiv, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky should be arrested and put on trial or liquidated as a terrorist. This was stated to TASS by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. “The further (after the capitulation of Ukraine - TASS) fate of Zelensky is not indifferent to us. He must be caught and put on trial for crimes against citizens of Russia and Ukrainians. If it is impossible to deliver such a criminal, the rules practiced for terrorists must be applied,” Medvedev emphasized. “This is exactly the fate that befell Zelensky’s spiritual teacher, Stepan Bandera,” he recalled.

For those who still don't get it--Medvedev IS NOT a "bad cop" in tandem with a "good cop" Putin. Medvedev is the SECOND in power in Russia's Security Council after Putin. Russia's Security Council is the MAIN strategic organ of Russia, a STAVKA of Supreme Command and State Defense Committee wrapped into one. What Medvedev states usually happens and he uses his massive media capabilities to convey what Russia REALLY thinks is going to happen. So, run Ze, run!Well, on the other hand--not gonna help, he is a dead man walking. Poroshenko, Avakov et al--get ready.

On A Lighter Note...

 ... meme. Good one))

Zakharova refuted information that her boss called Western journalists imbeciles. Nobody called these dumbfucks imbeciles, clarified Zakharova. 

Very true, I would say))

Meanwhile Roskosmos continues to publish the work of its satellites. Now it is latest Resurs-P. Dallas, TX. 

Just for shits and giggles. Make your own conclusions. Especially against the background of this really heavy blow. 

Пособниками и международными спонсорами террористов Медведев назвал «высших должностных лиц стран НАТО». Он счел, что риторика и действия президента Франции Эммануэля Макрона, а главное – его санкции на тайные операции с бандеровским режимом вполне могут быть расценены как пособничество в теракту в «Крокусе». «Очевидно, что Макрон и ряд других западных руководителей – спонсоры этого ужасного теракта. Этому нет прощения. Здесь не прикрыться иммунитетами. И отныне они не просто враги России», считает зампред Совбеза.

Translation: Medvedev called “senior officials of NATO countries” accomplices and international sponsors of terrorists. He considered that the rhetoric and actions of French President Emmanuel Macron, and most importantly, his sanctions for secret operations with the Bandera regime could well be regarded as complicity in the terrorist attack in Crocus. “It is obvious that Macron and a number of other Western leaders are the sponsors of this terrible terrorist attack. There is no forgiveness for this. There is no hiding behind immunities here. And from now on they are not just enemies of Russia,” says the deputy chairman of the Security Council.

Just think for a minute about what has been said. And that is not on a "lighter note". This is not good cop-bad cop play. There is a good chance that this is the future (again) President of Russia speaking. Think about why Lecornu called Shoigu. Also the hysterical reaction of Macron.

A Monday Primer.

Andrei Raevsky posted the transcript of Nebenzya's speech at the UNSC today. It is about dirty bomb and Russia calling everybody on this hugely important issue. Nebenzya opens with this:

First I want to express my bewilderment. We do not quite understand which added value other than a time extension of today’s meeting, carries the inclusion in the list of the speakers representatives of Slovakia, Poland, Germany and Greece. We’re not having a debate today, we are conducting a briefing. These countries’ position we already know very well. It could be nicely summed up by a [single] representative of the European Union. Nothing, but a desire to be featured on national TV screens, can we see in that. In the future, Mr. Chairman, we would like to ask you to be more careful when compiling the list of the speakers for the UN meetings on this subject.

Read the whole thing at Saker's blog. It is extremely important.  

As you may expect, the stalwart of American faux-diplomacy, Mr. Blinken continues to dismiss Russia's warnings about dirty bomb as transparently false allegations. One would expect such a reaction from people "populating" Biden's (and Obama's) Administration, because any allegations about integrity and professional competence of American "diplomats" are transparently false, hence the US being both non-agreement capable and, de facto, ungovernable, increasingly so with Midterms approaching. But then again, and I touch on this subject periodically, they don't teach Moliere and they do not attend either ballet or dramatic interpretations of his immortal comedy Le Bourgeois gentilhomme in D.C. because it hits too close to home with its message that you cannot buy class, especially in current US "diplomacy". Blinken should have concentrated on practicing law in NYC and should have never tried to become Mr. Jourdain. 

The desperation before Midterms is palpable in the US and for people who say that I "interpreted" Hu Jintao's exit from XX Congress was wrong--it is fine with me, I constantly stress that I am no Sinologist and if Comrade Hu was simply having a bout of dementia, it is fine with me. What I know for sure is not wrong is the fact of a massive purge of the top political and economic echelon of China of Komsomolets (Youth League) faction in CCP which was a radically pro-Western (pro-American) fifth column. For the most part it is over now and Xi solidified his power with far reaching strategic ramifications. Mr. Hu, however, was a direct offspring of the Chinese Komsomol. So, the whole event was emblematic, no matter how one views it. Ramifications are simple though, China now openly admits the possibility of the military solution around Taiwan and that means a serious geopolitical split for the US which is already now out of resources. 

That brings us to the issue of 101st in Romania. I think the United States has been put on notice by Russia that Syria and Ukraine are not the same game. Unlike illegal occupation of parts of Syria by the US, Odessa is historically Russian city and in WW II Red Army, first defending it from Axis in 1941 and then liberating in in 1944  shed so much blood--it is beyond experiences of the American military. If, as some observes speculate, 101st is ordered to repeat Al-Tanf thingy with further "de-conflicting" scenario while maintaining some kind of "exclusion zone" in and around Odessa--they need to understand that 101st will be annihilated. I am sure this was conveyed by Shoigu to Mr. Austin and by Gerasimov to Mr. Milley. Unlike Blinkens or Sullivans of Biden's cabinet, no matter what one says about Milley--he is still a military professional and he has a grasp of such things. I repeat again--I can imagine what is being talked about when Gerasimov and Milley speak. I cannot imagine Lavrov communicating with this schlimazel Blinken without Lavrov chain-smoking because he has to talk to an amateur. Mr. Jourdain, that is. 

Per this.

Moscow and Tehran have struck a deal that will see the Islamic Republic selling 40 domestically produced gas turbines to Russia, Reza Noushadi, the CEO of Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company, told the Iranian oil ministry’s news agency Shana on Sunday. According to Noushadi, Iran is currently capable of independently producing “85% of … the equipment needed in the gas industry.” This capability allowed it to sign the contract with Moscow, he added. The CEO did not reveal when exactly the deal was struck and when the turbines are to arrive in Russia. Russian officials have so far not commented on Noushadi’s statements. The development comes as the sanctions policies of the US and its allies have hit industry ties between Russia and its Western equipment suppliers. Earlier this year, state energy giant Gazprom had to gradually reduce gas deliveries to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline due to technical problems related to servicing turbines.

Is it possible? Sure. Iran was in the oil and gas business since the start, so this part of Iranian industries surely has some competencies in extraction and processing and it is purely non-military peaceful technologies. We just need to wait for confirmation from Russia on that and on the nomenclature of such turbines, if the deal was, indeed, struck. As per Russia military industries, as usual Western intel failed miserably.  

Russia is about to greatly enhance its military arsenal, the country’s former president, Dmitry Medvedev, said on Monday, adding that output of tanks, high-precision missiles, drones, and artillery pieces is growing “multifold.” He made the statement after inspecting the production lines of Russia’s leading arms manufacturer, the Uralvagonzavod tank plant. Medvedev, who is currently the deputy head of the Russian Security Council, posted a video on Telegram showing him touring the production halls of the plant together with a delegation of government officials. The video also featured dozens of modern T-72B3 and T-90M battle tanks under construction at the facility, including ones that appeared to be in the final assembly stage. The official said he has repeatedly seen claims by Western analysts “that Russia will soon run out of military equipment and weapons.”

I see these claims all the time and my only suggestion to those who make those claims in the West is to throw away their useless degrees in social and political "sciences" and pseudo-economics, communications and "international relations" and get to some serious schools to study industries, technology, math and, maybe, try to get to some War Colleges, especially Army and Naval--that may help. Other than that, as I am on record for years--the West's crisis is systemic and that means it cannot be fixed without changing the system itself. I don't have the recipe for fixing it, I just know that this is the end. Enjoy your Monday.

Somebody, Stop Medvedev, LOL))

But he is right, that is why it is so funny--he minces no words and calls it as it is. 

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said the new UK prime minister, Liz Truss, will continue the “tradition” started by her predecessor Boris Johnson by finishing her tenure “in disgrace.” Truss, formerly the foreign secretary in Johnson’s Conservative government, officially became prime minister on Tuesday. Taking to Telegram on Wednesday, Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, commented on the succession of governments in the UK: “Out goes the freak guy, in comes the freak lady.” He described the new PM as “an incompetent and mediocre thermonuclear Russophobe who has no elementary ideas about politics, history, geography, but wants to defeat Russia in everything.”

Western "elites" are a freak show. Wherever you look nowadays you see only one human pathology after another both in moral and even physical terms. With the exception of Bearbock, who compensates acceptable physical appearance with being an ignorant fanatic, and, to a certain degree Ursula von Der Lugen, most what we see nowadays is down right repulsive. Western women in politics are now nothing more than holographic projections of the third wave feminism which is a euphemism for turning modern woman into a bizarre male units with vaginas. But then again, after this:

No comments. After BoJo, however, one should not be surprised with anything or anyone getting on top of British political Parnassus, because it will be a guarantee of having ignorant, and, frankly, very unattractive person. 

But then again, at least Buckingham Palace has an antidote now with definitely a truly beautiful woman. 

And I am sure that Duchess of Cambridge is aware of this obvious disparity, precisely because she projects a true femininity, motherhood and being a wife, gorgeous at that. Only Royal Status prevents her from being "cancelled" in the times when being a freak is viewed as an achievement.

It Is Friday.

Thank you Mike H for making me (and my wife)  laugh hysterically for the last 48 hours)). It is a hard combat work at front-lines in Ukraine, but one needs a minute of relaxation to get a pure genius of this)). It is especially hilarious because it is so true. 

In related Friday thingy which we didn't do in a long time. Bones will love it--what's the deal with these Japanese girls? Senri Kawaguchi--Good God!! 

Is she a genius? Yep! She is. So, Japanese girls carry on with a proud tradition of a real fusion, which is a euphemism for jazz-rock.

 

I don't have enough vernacular to describe the goodness of this. 

It Is Hot And Humid.

In San Juan and I am trying to stay on top of the events. It is not easy, considering the fact that since our arrival yesterday we were involved non-stop in pre-wedding proceedings which we have to. Anyhow. It is a different world we live in now. And since I am limited in my communications I can only suggest to you guys to get sitreps from the list of my blogs, especially by Andrey Raevsky and MoA. In related news, Patrick Armstrong, who, like me, ended up in the hotel when the real shock and awe unfolded, noted:

Being in a hotel, I have the opportunity to waste my time watching CNN. I am truly fascinated by how completely clueless the so-called experts, generals, politicians, that they have on are about this. They have no understanding of the Russian motives, they have no conception of what is actually going on, and they can’t see what is in front of their faces. My personal favourite is the US senator that says Russia is running out of food because it’s a communist country and therefore needs to conquer more agricultural land. This is a man whose office is bigger than your house, has a staff of dozens with a huge budget and that’s what he thinks is going on. The new new world order was born two days ago.

They ARE that ignorant and incompetent. Including top military brass who was spoiled rotten by the "lessons" of Gulf Wars and carpet bombing of a third rate Iraqi military. Let them watch and learn, hopefully. But I don't hold my breath. One thing, however, is clear--the United States got itself Europe. Good luck to Europe. But combined West has nothing left but to admit that it sure as hell "lost" Russia which was in the mode of breaking off with the West for a while. If anyone ever doubted it--read today's response by none other than Kremlin's liberal-designated Dmitry Medvedev. So, for now that is my word, I need to survive the wedding and I'll post as much as I can if it will be warranted.

Wrapping Tests Up For 3M22.

Yet another Zircon has been launched in the White Sea by Admiral Gorshkov and it hit the target more than 400 kilometers away (in Russian). The missile is already in serial production so the Russian Navy has many New Year presents coming its way. TV Zvezda already reported on it:

But this is not what is interesting in Russia nowadays. Dmitry Medvedev (remember him?) stated something which Russians want to hear, and, if fact, already see the government reacting to ethnic crime--primarily by Russia's Muslim Caucasus "representatives" and Middle Asia migrants who are being now shown that Sharia and unmotivated aggression are not practiced in Russia proper. Some people speculated that this Medvedev's statement is an attempt to put himself back on the electoral map of Russia. I don't think so. I think he is just trying to do his job.

МОСКВА, 29 ноября. /ТАСС/. Российские власти не должны допустить возникновения на территории страны этнических анклавов. Об этом на совещании о проблемах реализации миграционной политики РФ и задачах по повышению ее эффективности заявил заместитель председателя Совета безопасности РФ Дмитрий Медведев."Нужны дополнительные меры, которые позволят иностранцам лучше адаптироваться в нашей стране. Нельзя допускать их изоляции, как это, к сожалению, происходит во многих странах мира, и маргинализации, возникновения на территории нашей страны этнических анклавов", - подчеркнул Медведев. Заместитель председателя Совета безопасности констатировал, что "примеров такого рода анклавов в мире предостаточно". "И все они являются рассадниками преступности", - подчеркнул он.Он призвал уделять внимание диспропорциям, возникающим в связи с внутренней миграцией населения между регионами РФ.

Translation:  MOSCOW, November 29. / TASS /. The Russian authorities must prevent the emergence of ethnic enclaves on the territory of the country. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev stated this at a meeting on the problems of implementing the migration policy of the Russian Federation and the tasks of increasing its effectiveness. "Additional measures are needed that will allow foreigners to better adapt in our country. We must not allow their isolation, as, unfortunately, in many countries of the world, and marginalization, the emergence of ethnic enclaves on the territory of our country," Medvedev stressed. The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council stated that "there are plenty of examples of this kind of enclaves in the world." "And they are all breeding grounds for crime," he stressed. He urged to pay attention to the imbalances arising in connection with the internal migration of the population between the regions of the Russian Federation.

First and foremost: ANY ethnic enclave is always in part or whole is involved into ethnic organized crime. Always, 100% of the time. It is especially true for Muslim population which is first generation from their native lands and are transferred from some village (aul) with its tribal culture aggravated by Sharia to such country as Russia. For some Tajik labor-immigrant or Dagestani (even if Russian citizen) 18-20 year old transplant from primitive conditions of mountain village appearing in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg or Vladivostok with their liberties, nightlife, urbanizm, glitz and many beautiful seemingly available (meaning not-dressed into burka) girls often is a cultural shock of massive scale. But old traditions die slow and here is the example. Few Dagestani "men" beat the girls in Astrakhan after they pointed out to them that putting their feet on the table is wrong. They beat them severely. 

You don't need to know Russian. 

Now look at how Russian Police deals with these people when taking them in. Guess what? Public support is overwhelming.

You just don't beat women because your custom tells you that they are below you--not in Russia, where women are revered as wives, mothers and friends and, frankly, have more rights than men. It is all good. Evidently, Russian government, not to mention an overwhelming majority of Russia's populations, had it and they act. Remarkably, in my life I had a variety of positive experiences with Russian Azeris, Dagestan natives (there are many ethnicities there), Chechens and others who were transplants to Russia but who were fully integrated, spoke excellent Russian, worked in respectable jobs (doctors, teachers), loved Russian culture and were for all intents and purposes Russians who didn't lose their ethnic flavor. 

That what Medvedev's statement is all about. You want to live in Russia? Well, when in Rome do as Romans do. And Russians, unlike French, German and other EU lefty traitors of their own culture and nations are ready to enforce their way of life in their own country which is the way of civilized modern society which also loves own culture. You don't see the United States in this list for a reason--it is both blessing and tragedy of America, which was consumed in cities by homicidal "progressive" lack of culture but whose country-side (America which I personally love) is armed and still holds some natural values dear to them and is ready to shoot. Maybe there is a hope in this readiness, even when it is sometimes somewhat misguided.

Happy Birthday, Medvedev--Here Is The Present For Ya.

It was Dmitry Medvedev's, Russia's incompetent liberal Prime-Minister (lawyer by trade), birthday yesterday. I wouldn't even pay attention to this hack's 51st but it was the present which was made to him by Vladimir Putin which really struck me, and very many others, as both a huge hint and, let's face it, affront. The present was also a huge policy statement. Putin gave Medvedev a picture titled "In The Industrial Shop". 

      

Happy BD, Mother Fucker.

The art piece depicts a large industrial machine-building plant and its message is unmistakable--re-industrialization must accelerate. This Putin's gesture is especially significant against the background of two competing economic programs which must be presented to Putin in the nearest future.  One is by Alexei Kudrin--a shill for globalist elite and a financier who has no idea about anything but bookkeeping and monetarism. The other--is by Stolypin's Club and this one is the program of massive, state-driven re-industrialization while liberalizing small and middle-size business--the program I wholeheartedly support with one huge caveat, however. 

So, Russian PM Medvedev was given, as I think, the last (not-Chinese) warning--to shape up or... Well, who knows, Putin is an extremely loyal friend--sometimes at his own, and nation's, peril--but the events of the last 3 years may change his approaches to personal relations. After all, he has a huge country to run and Russian are ready, nay--yearn, to get back at what Russians are known for--making things. As for the present? Putin never makes hollow gestures...
