This Is One Of The Major ...

 ... reasons why official London suffers from fanatical hatred of Russia.

Of course, we can expand Starmer's statement even further, but I let it slide this time. 

Again About Fire ...

... impact. No, this is not Russian rah-rah, this is merely a representation of REAL war, not even Iranian strikes on US bases, or heroism of US Marines at Khe Sahn under the most adverse conditions, none of it comes even close to a density and fire impact (огневое воздействие) of the combined MLRS strike.

You can theoretically survive the artillery strikes, especially when you have with what to respond and suppress--your combat aviation, your own artillery et al. Here, you can do nothing even in dugouts, especially when you get "warmed up" with some thermobaric nightmare from 100 + km away by Tornado-S and Smerch with Grad following suit with "polishing" of the area. The level of casualties in this case is counted in 50%+ of the personnel on company to battalion (depending on area), with wounded wishing they were dead and the rest completely demoralized and shell-shocked reducing combat value of the unit to about zero. 

They really don't teach this in the US military academies because they are still discussing how F-18 with AIM-9 Sidewinder in Top Gun: Maverick shoots down SU-57 with ... well, let's not go there. But that's the reality of the modern combined arms. No NATO serviceman has experience with this on a prolonged basis--they are either killed or do not want to return to a deadly task of "studying" Russian way of war. But then again, no US War College can even conceive the fact that in real war with Russia operational and strategic depth is no obstacle for Russian stand-off weaponry dealing with HQs anywhere and disrupting Command and Control completely. In conclusion, here are some sounds from Kiev last night. 

This ain't Hollywood. Enjoy. 

Kiev Had A Very ...

 ... "active" night. If you know what I mean. Even underground stations have been shaking.

All kinds of things have been flying in. 

And the morning picture is telling. 

Good News.

People wrote me in the comments--the father of that poor girl has been released from TTzK due to public outcry, including from Russia. That's really good news. Poor child. 

It Was Such Fun ...

 ... to kill Russians. Until they came and showed the real war. 

This Is How ...

... all journos should be handled. Thomas Massie just gave some example:

I was writing about it for a long time. Yes, this is an acrobatic ad hominem. Here is one my note on that from three years ago. 

And that's the point I make for years--one cannot continue to merely challenge the BS fountaining from the deep recesses of US "academia" and think-tankdom, one has to challenge qualifications, that is to say start operating in the ad hominem mode, when dealing with a cabal of uncultured, unread, illiterate Ph.D shysters who toil for the benefit of America's homicidal foreign policy and military adventurism.

I use this myself, but Massie took it even further--so, when communicating with some scumbag from BBC or CNN you should always ask them questions like that: how many pedophiles do you have in you staff, or--I heard you abuse your husband (wife). The best is to ask Ben Shapiro if he is angry because, I heard, he has a child's penis? That's how it should be handled. Those people are not normal humans--they are sociopaths with no morality or even basic understanding of right from wrong. And you cannot reason with them. 

When I Say ...

 ... that the West is complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity in 404--this is not a hyperbole. Average NATO general, who participated in planning of war in 404 is a criminal. Here is a practical representation of these crimes. A number of high ranking US and UK generals and media-political figures called on what amounts to non-stop mobilization of everyone in 404. You all saw what TTzK does but here is a new one. 

A child with ONLY father (no other living relatives) left as a parent ... well, TTzK kidnapped him and poor girl now has nobody. Kindergarten teacher had no other option but to take the girl home after their attempts to learn the fate of girl's father at TTzK facility failed. No US serviceman understands realities of what NATO cowards have done. No US servicemen ever lost wife, children, father, mother to war. NONE. But here is one little peek into how NATO "fights". As one American general stated "to the last Ukrainian". That's what they want, this is what they got, after that they will lie to themselves for the rest of their lives that they had great "strategies" but somehow ... well--not enough Ukrainian cannon fodder.
