My Talking Head Expands On Sfera.

Here it is. 

But on a lighter note, LOL. I love this:
 

1st Pic. 

Doctor: What a strong organism!

Patient: I am hardening myself.

2nd Pic. 

Doctor: Under the cold shower? 

Patient: No. I put more ice in my whiskey. ))))

My Talking Head.

I was happily busy last 24 hours with my wonderful friend visiting me. But I recorded the video today which you may find... "encapsulating". So, enjoy. 

Candace's snippet is so precise.

My Talking Head On A Long War...

 ... and why those ignoramuses from RAND now spin the "Long War" issue. The issue itself is valid, actually. 

We are talking here about a complete epistemic closure in the US. The level of incompetence is shocking.

Trying To Get Meaning...

 ... into meaningless. My talking head about some basic tactical geometry and what all this PR action with tanks means. 

I do not even elaborate on the issue of tactical aviation which will feast on any VSU "counter-offensive" in a matter of a few days, until mop-up cavalry arrives, but it gives an idea on the issue of what I define as 100 APCs (such as Bradley) and 50 tanks such as mix of Leo-2 and Abrams, if they even get to the front-line. Never forget this thing:

Or things similar to it which can turn in one salvo, and they will not have issues with precise targeting, a few square kilometers into a glass parking lot with everything what was there, super-duper tanks included. I agree with Macgregor that now Washington wants to merely somehow prolong a bloodshed, because it is in a strategic dead-end due to incompetence and ignorance of Pentagon, "intel" community and court economists--all of them are professional failures. Meanwhile, Russian naval infantry is already fighting within Ugledar.

Well, It Is The Daily Beast...

 ... after all. In general, very few normal people work in Western media and especially ones which are tabloids. Most Western MSM today are tabloids. Larry takes a note. 

And the Western media train ride to crazy town continues to hurtle down the tracks and does not realize the bridge over the River Dnieper has vanished. That is the best poetic imagery I could conjure up tonight to try to capture that pathology of so-called journalists to publish nonsense. A new meme emerged today — the Wagner Group is being wiped out.  

He then proceeds to show some real facts on the ground and that tells us everything we need to know about Western media--people with skills and ethics need not apply. 

I also speak a little bit today about the travails of West's economics (or whatever passes for it) and warfare field. 

I am on record--most of the world-view forming, primarily humanities, academic field in the combined West is an academic fraud. The model as a whole sucks across the board. And naturally, when subjected to a real test by reality it crumbles. Now imbeciles from NYT worry about this:

A Hit French Novel Tries to Explain Putin. Too Well, Some Critics Say.

Two things come to mind:

1. French writing about Putin and Russia, LOL.

2. The success has illustrated the continued power of literature in France, where novels have long shaped public debate. Élisabeth Borne, the prime minister, said through a spokesman that she “really enjoyed his book, which mixes fiction and reality and echoes international current events and the war in Ukraine.”

LOL))) French already made a choice and it is a mix "of fiction and reality". Well, fiction primarily. Why don't French "public debate" shape itself on the issues of what used to be Europe and Western Civilization. But I doubt France will ever wake up for that--too late. 

My Talking Head...

 ... today. 

Just me talking...
 

My Talking Head Today.

Use also as the open thread, because I need to cook today and I am in the process of re-deploying to kitchen. 

217 kilometers is a warning and not to Ukraine only.
 

My Talking Head On Hypersonic Weapons Again.

My talking head on hypersonic issues and how they relate to policies.  

Pershing II was never a "hypersonic" weapon. Speed alone is NOT what defines a weapon as hypersonic. The issue of required force aka наряд сил. Believe me, Google translate will not provide a proper translation. 

My Talking Head For The Weekend.

It is Friday, after all. First, me talking about... things. 

I wrote a lot on netcentricity in this blog.
