Fighting Instructions ...

 ... and why they are too little, too late. 

Here Is What Expects ...

... those "International Legionnaires" in real war. That is why they are so upset, well--welcome to hell. 

Firefight of the XXI century. 

Per Political Aims Of SMO ...

 ... and why Russians are just in the pop-corn mode. As Lavrov stated, Trump's proposal was "raped" by Europeans. It was totally expected. They are still recovering from this:

And Macron tries to do a very French thing with Russia, but as has been stated numerous times (yes, I also am getting tired from repeating the same thing over and over again)--all political aims of SMO will be achieved. One way or another (BTW, the title of the first song on the last Uriah Heep's album with David Byron--High and Mighty). Remarkably, all indications of a complete civilizational breakdown are in place but many people still cannot make a connection between pieces to see the full picture. I want to reiterate--yes, I am saying this for decades--real power rests not with money, which are merely a tool, important, but one of many tools in a tool box of developed nations. The tool box is known as power and it is ALL about the balance of it. One of the symptoms of the combined West's decline are military affairs and the documents, even when conceived by otherwise competent people, which begin to be read as a wish list for Santa, such as Fighting Instructions by CNO, Admiral Caudle. I discuss it in my today's video. 

P.S. Just a reminder of Joseph Stalin's response to Churchill about Pope: "And how many divisions does the Pope have?" 

Garland and Yours Truly ...

 ... live in 25 minutes. 

Not For The Faint of Heart.

That's how VSU deal with their 300s (wounded) in order to not carry them. 

Russian recon drone documented it. This is NOT one off--it is VSU tradition to do so and they have been doing this for as long as SMO lasts. Speaking of which--the US slowly disengaging from NATO command structures appointing to a number of posts ... British guys, LOL)) 

But here is interesting thing of which I write non-stop. 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Navy’s top uniformed officer wants to convince commanders to use smaller, newer ships and other assets for missions instead of consistently turning to huge aircraft carriers — as seen now in the American military buildups off Venezuela and Iran. Adm. Daryl Caudle's vision — what he calls his “Fighting Instructions” — calls for the Navy to deploy more tailored groups of ships and equipment that would offer the sea service more flexibility to respond to crises as they develop.

Admiral Caudle has some good ideas (or desires, if one wishes) but when he asks the question what modern US Navy "delivers" he omits, albeit implies, that modern US carrier-centric Navy delivers a lot of fat prestigious targets which are indefensible in REAL threat environment. What REAL stands for is the new (and even older) generation of anti-shipping missiles which are either supersonic or hypersonic and are matched by recon complex such as Liana and this types of weapons (with the exception of hypersonic ones) continue to propagate. 

In conclusion: 

In early February of this year, it was 81 years since the uprising of Soviet prisoners of war in the Austrian Nazi camp "Mauthausen". In an interview with RIA Novosti, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova spoke about how Moscow is fighting attempts to falsify and distort the truth about World War II, why EU countries do not support Russia's resolution against the glorification of Nazism in the UN, and how Vienna preserves the memory of the dead prisoners of war.

EU countries ARE supporters of Nazism, just in a slightly different form. Albeit they still found some humanity in them in condemning Israel's genocide of Palestinians, but when it comes to Russians--most of Europe wouldn't mind concentration camps for them. Here is example--Estonian designer with her latest products. 

I am sure it will be a popular product not just in Estonia. 

Lavrov Gives ...

... proper definitions to the West. US Navy thinks (wrongly) it can control SLOC--it can't. It can sink gloriously, of course, if it comes to, God forbid, to real war.
