Voices Of Sanity?

Mike Krupa sent me link to this twitter from Bundestag. Ah, they remember (some of them) where Russian tanks (or Hussars) end up when Russia is attacked.  

Not all german politicians have forgotten history.

As I pointed out yesterday in a discussion board, Rammstein meeting turned out to be primarily a nothing-burger and, again, the already collapsing globalists' narrative will collapse much faster with the images of NATO super-pooper tanks burning in industrial quantities in 404. 

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AP) — Defense leaders meeting at a U.S. air base in Germany on Friday failed to resolve divisions over providing advanced battle tanks to Ukraine after more than five hours of discussions about sending more military aid to the embattled country in its war with Russia. The defense minister of Poland, which has pledged a company of 14 Leopard tanks on condition that other countries also supply them, said 15 countries that have the German-made Leopards discussed the issue but no decisions were made. Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak called the meeting a “good discussion among allies” and said the matter would be discussed again at future talks.

As I state constantly--there are people in Pentagon left who can and do calculate the real required force to change anything in favor of 404. Without going too much into criteria of efficiency and serious datasets for computers, I can repeat what it would take. It would take all NATO countries armies, headed by the US, all their Air Forces and navies, with draft introduced in all those countries, and then about a year of uninterrupted prepositioning of the forces--good luck with that--and a preliminary agreement with Russia that all this is merely a sport competition, in order for Russia not to flatten by conventional weapons London, Brussels and Washington, to have any effect at all. Then, maybe, especially if Russia fails to mobilize around 2.5 million personnel--also good luck hoping for that to happen--there could be some talk of "changing dynamics" in 404. In layman's lingo it is called a wet fantasy. 

As James Kunstler noted today:

Ukraine did not have to become a geopolitical hot-spot. We made it a problem on-purpose. The strategy, if you can call it that, was stated explicitly by SecDef Lloyd Austin: “to weaken Russia.” That was based on the NeoCon game theory that the USA had to maintain at least the appearance of dominance over as much of the world as possible — a.k.a. hegemony — at the very moment in history that America’s economy, culture, and institutions had entered a state of collapse, visible to everyone in the world. By the way, our efforts in Ukraine against Russia have only strengthened Russia — its currency, its balance of trade, its own internal political security, and its military defenses.

Well, Ukraine HAD to become a hot-spot as not just laundromat, but as, as one Russian observer noted--the goal of prestige of a losing team which loses with a huge score. Never underestimate the ignorance and incompetence of neocons and their former Pentagon lap-dogs. They do not even know how to properly war game anything, because they live in a virtual reality and they needed badly to cover up Afghanistan humiliation and economic depression of likes we never saw before. All this neocon blob and hawks are the products of a fraudulent US Ivy League machine in "strategic studies", political "science" and foreign relations, which continues to churn out US petulant childish "elite" which played America to the precipice of a complete meltdown. And here is your Friday primer.

Russians Love Rammstein. (Friday on Saturday).

I am OK with Rammstein music wise, not so OK with some of their practices, but Rammstein's leader Till Lindemann is a whole other story altogether and considering a number of tours and visits to Russia, Till did what no Russian ever expected but once he did it--he did it so well, so profoundly and so beautifully that even Russia 1 TV Channel had to report on it. But first, here is the original, which since then became truly a people's song, by immortal Mark Bernes from 1939 prewar movie Fighters (Fighter-pilots). 

Till's version is for another fighter-pilots' movie (by Timur Bekmambetov), this one is brand-new and has a title of Devyataev, about a legendary Soviet pilot and POW. And, boy, did Till deliver. German, singing Soviet song which became everybody's beloved war-time song in USSR.

Russian reception is enthusiastic to put it mildly, and yes, these are Lend-Lease American Bell P-39 Airocobras you see in clip, the fighter plane beloved by Alexander Pokryshkin, who Devyataev knew personally. So, enjoy. This, however, is not the first time German rock-stars sing Russian songs, enough to recall a wonderful collaboration between Russian power metal stalwarts Aria and legendary Udo Dirkschneider of Accept (and U.D.O.), doing dramatic Shtil by Aria.  

BTW, Till also did Shtil. 

 Enjoy.
