Meanwhile in Polish News.

 LOL)) We all need a comic relief. 

The record holder of the Małopolska Road Traffic Centre in Tarnów has passed the theoretical driving test - informs the local radio RDN Małopolska. He managed to achieve this on the 139th attempt, which took a total of nine years. The director of the Małopolska Road Traffic Center in Tarnów, Paweł Gurgul, said that the man, when taking the theoretical exams, did not have the appropriate training materials. The record holder of the center has been facing the exam since 2017. - This person did not let go of taking the exam. This shows that she needs this driver's license very much. This person passed the theoretical exam for the 139th time. Now he is waiting for the practical exam - Gargul said on RDN Tarnów radio. He added that the representatives of the Tarnów center only recently realized that "in a conversation with this person, that he used the demo version of the tests that they prepare for the theoretical exam".

I am not laughing, I am moaning)) 

The "Winning" Continues.

 I am sure air travelers are grateful for Trump's non-stop victories. 

(The Associated Press) — Jet fuel prices are rising as the war in the Middle East disrupts global oil supplies, putting cost pressure on airlines as the busy summer travel season approaches. Experts say it’s not a question of if airfares will go up, but when, for how long and by how much. The impact may be felt most on long-haul international routes, which burn significantly more fuel than shorter flights.

Who would have thought/s. Here are some insights. 

Here is a long term evolution. 

There will be, for sure, now some fanboys of laissez-faire and of the Wall Street, pointing out that whole two dozen people will get richer from it and that they will pay taxes (granted none of those profits get to the Cayman Islands, yes, sure, sure) and that will heighten everything like in height, widen in width, deepen in depth and capitalization will grow. In reality, that means a severe impact on both airlines and aerospace companies, such as Boeing. Domino effect, which is already in progress, will expand. I am talking here about REAL economy, not this Wall Street BS. This is a warmup. We ain't seen nothing yet(c). 

Washington's "War Plans" ...

 ... and tragicomic analogy)

Today analogies and memes literally make themselves. The absurdity of this all grows from the contemporary Western ruling class' "logic" or rather lack thereof due to extremely low educational and cultural levels but with enough useless "credentials" which are bordering on Gogolesque or Kafkaesque absurdity. Morons with Ph.Ds. So, are we now into "Saving Private J.D. Vance" territory? Likely yes. But the US cannot anymore vote herself out of this--one after another American myths have been blown out of the water and it remains to be seen if the US will put to good use its remaining "intrinsic wealth" (quoting Garland) or will it be the roll down the slope in gurney while being on the way to ICU. 

P.S. Per General Aguto and his drunken escapades, he is the guy together with current USAREUR-AF Donahue and their group in Wiesbaden who gave us a "masterpiece", exemplary really, catastrophe of the "2023 counter-offensive"--I am sure they will teach it in the USMA at West Point and the US Army War College, right ... right? /s

"Enormous Costs"?

Does he even understand what those costs could be? 

He still lives in the la-la land of the Desert Storm, where the US operated essentially unopposed in its assembly areas, but even in Vietnam, the US Army never experienced a fire impact (maybe Khe Sanh) which would compare to daily "deliveries" Iran can provide against any troops. These will not be some artillery and mortar impacts, that will be stand-off weapons, some of them with warheads measuring in hundreds of kilograms. This is a different game, and then there are recon and targeting ... but I said it before--the US doesn't have relevant experience with this. 

 

So, what COULD be the "costs" if the US decides to do "ground operation"? Depending on the scope (the US doesn't have required resources for large scale op, McCaffrey should know this) it will range anywhere between 10,000 + KIAs within limited scope op to hundreds of thousands KIAs if the US bogs down (which it will) in case of the "full scale" invasion of Iran in the first couple-three years. Vietnam War will look damn good compared to this. 

Asymmetry Tropes.

That is a euphemism for not having a clue. China's "oil maneuvering". 

Oh, No!

It is not going to be "another Vietnam", it is going to be much-much worse. 

But Donnie wouldn't know anything about it--he is a 7-times draft dodger. 

A Reminder ...

 ... from Russia's VKS. 

MiG-31 aircraft with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles "Dagger" carried out a planned flight in the airspace over the neutral waters of the Sea of Japan. 

Keep in mind that hypersonic Kinzhal has a range of 2,500 kilometers. What it means on the map. 

These are forbidden waters and no navy can go in there without being sunk. Also a reminder that it is not just MiG-31K who carry Kinzhals, Su-34s can do it too now. And I am not even talking about Russian Navy's Zircon carriers.
