Celebrity Warriors.

This culture of bringing up celebrity warriors into the media sphere is not unique to the US only, but it is only in the US where this culture is brought to its grotesque and ugly conclusion. Here is one such example, among many. Here is the bio of Tim Kennedy. Keep focus on this part. 

Kennedy joined the Army on January 4, 2004, and completed Basic Combat Training, Advanced Individual Training, Airborne School, Special Forces Assessment and Selection and the Special Forces Qualification Course. Kennedy was featured in Dick Couch's book about Green Beret selection called Chosen Soldier under the moniker "Tom Kendall". In 2007, he completed Ranger School and was assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group. During this time he was also a sniper, sniper instructor, and the principal combatives instructor for C Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group. Kennedy deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). In August 2009, Kennedy transitioned from active duty to the Texas Army National Guard, joined 19th Special Forces Group and served in the position of Special Forces Weapons Sergeant, and has continued to serve with the Texas Army National Guard since then. On April 16, 2017, Kennedy announced his reenlistment into the U.S. Army Special Forces, praising the leadership of Secretary of Defense James Mattis and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster.

In other words--a biography of at best NCO lower tactical level soldier who, judging by his wide spectrum of interests, could possibly be also an astronaut, quantum mechanics theoretician and a superman. 

What he is not--he is not a high tactical (brigade) or operational (division and up) level officer with serious academic and service background which would allow him to pass judgements on operational, let alone strategic, planning and how it is integrated across C4ISR. But he passes his ridiculous ideas on warfare nonetheless. Needless to say his combat experiences in Iraq or Afghanistan are absolutely irrelevant to modern war and the thing US forces only now begin to experience, such as discreet fire impact from Iran. In the SMO zone US experiences are catastrophic due to extremely low professional level of top brass. 

Of course, he wouldn't understand what does it mean to be under the consistent fire impact, not from RPG or small arms fire, but from 152-mm artillery or FAB with UMPK. US Armed Forces have no experience with this:

This is what happens when you fight real enemy who outguns and outranges you, but Kennedy wouldn't know that. So, what's left?Become a celebrity warrior, speaking about things he wouldn't understand. 

For people who still cannot grasp the abyss separating cadre officers and celebrity warriors, let me explain on a practical and maximum humble example of myself. If to imagine that somehow my health is back, I am younger by about 20 years, just to explain to you what would it take for me to go through two--three months updates and study and I will able to get clearance for the command of this: 

Or carry out duties of Deputy Chief of Staff of the Separate Brigade of such ships. In terms of ground forces (remember--our graduates have a second specialty as marines), probably same level of Deputy CS of a separate Marines' Brigade. Maybe COS. Ah, yes--I am no sniper or MMA fighter. I just have some good ideas how combat is planned on a serious level and how command and control are done. I am no celebrity. 

Nicole Nailed It.

Especially considering the fact that Milei (Argentina's President) is a fanatical Zionist and Leo Messi did his part in indicating that he is an Israeli puppet. 

There is very little doubt that this WC has a political dimension and that Argentina is being pushed to the finals and probably setting up the rematch with France. For those people, btw, who still believe in objective refereeing, here is a trip down the memory lane.  

This time UEFA needed FC Barcelona in the finals and Ovrebo literally killed Chelsea. 

Disgrace continues. So does "explanation" effort on part of "interpreters" of the rules who worship their Israeli stooge Leo Messi and the country which seems to be strangely attuned to Israel's interests, as was FC Barcelona in 2010 with all this UNICEF BS and we are "the good humanitarians" image. 

Technical Glitch.

 Without my face today. You don't need to see my ugly mug anyway)) 

This Is Not NEWS!

 US commanders know only how to launch. 

US commanders ignored warnings before approving strike that hit Iranian school: Report. On the first day of the Iran war, a U.S. missile destroyed an unlikely target: a school for girls. Nearly 200 children and adults died. More than four months later, a new report claims that senior U.S. military commanders approved the target after disregarding warnings that intelligence about the site was years out of date. The allegation came in a CNN report this week about the Feb. 28 strike that hit Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab. The school sat next to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facility that the U.S. military was attacking. U.S. officials neither confirmed nor denied CNN’s reporting, although a White House official told the network that the investigation is continuing. “The United States does not target civilians,” CNN quoted the official as saying.

Well, the last statement is a wowser. I am sure this "official" was saying this with a straight face. I guess Belgrade TV station was swarming with "military" in 1999, or that executing civilian Vietnamese, Iraqis or Afghans are the facts from the parallel universe and have nothing to do with our reality, on this planet, where the US managed to kill through its wars ... 

The most severe of the US’ acts of aggression have resulted in some 13-23 million deaths in at least 28 nations. Direct US military actions in at least 16 countries have caused around 7-13 million deaths. US-supported or -instigated armed conflicts in 19 countries have led to some 6-10 million deaths. There are countries where the US has engaged both directly in combat and indirectly through active military support. These figures still do not include casualties from all the governments the US has supported militarily in their domestic conflicts against supposed insurgents and other political opposition. Many tens of thousands more have been killed by client states with US support and using US-funded and -supplied war materiel, such as in the Philippines.

For a military, which never defended its own country it is rather an "impressive" statistics. 

In other news, saved Sophia is now in safety in Russia and can start rebuilding her life. 

Maybe get back some of her lost childhood taken from her due to help from the most "moral" military which "does not target civilians". 

Nima and Me ...

The Best Summary ...

 ... so far))) 

Remarkably, I still think that USNMT had potential, but that was the moment when everything went bad and demoralization was complete. 

It Is Too Late, Radek.

 Your only skill is in giving BJs. So, you and your szlachta  ilk are now going to live with supporting the butchers of innocent Polish women, children and men. 

ANKARA, July 8 – RIA Novosti. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski advised the head of Volodymyr Zelensky's office, Kyrylo Budanov*, to "restrain emotions." On Monday, Budanov* said that he did not rule out a new escalation in relations between the Ukraine and Poland as the anniversary of the Volyn massacre approaches. "I spoke about this speech (Budanov * - ed.) yesterday with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. It seems to me that it is better for Ukraine to restrain emotions," Sikorski said.

Budanov, in this respect, is absolutely correct--404 will continue to do in Poland as it wishes and considering the "professional" level of Polish security apparatus (I read some of their "thoughts") Poland better brace herself for terrorism, lawlessness and national humiliation because this is what happens when you betray oneself. 

Scott reposted his piece from three years ago--at the time when the US Army finally revealed its pathetic level of operational planning and sheer unprofessionalism (Donahue, Aguto--yes, that's you, plus some others) with the vaunted "counter-offensive" it planned and conducted including even on the tactical level  of battalions and even companies. 

For Anne Applebaum, this offensive is an answer to her prayers. The Polish-American Pulitzer Prize-winning historian has for some time now been calling for such an action, a decisive blow by the collective west and Ukraine against a Russia she characterizes as autocratic and dangerous. The lessons of history have been shunted aside in favor of her feverish lust for Russian blood. Killing Russians, Applebaum believes, is the only way for the civilized west to show the Russian nation—autocrats and automatons alike—that the price for regional hegemony is too high for the Russian people and their government to bear.  

Applebaum is no historian--she is a fanatical Zionist ideologue, an academic fraud from Ivy League (Yale) degree mill(s), and she is the wife of Radek Sikorski. So, it is from this explosive mix of delusion and centuries old butthurt (and control by London) that Poland contributed mightily to a catastrophe which also is beginning to affect Warsaw on a personal level. And Warsaw will get more humiliating insults from her "ally" in 404 because official Warsaw deep down is fine with Nazis. 

Yes, Poland doesn't want to remember that Hitler and Pilsudski have been good buddies and the first Non-Aggression Pact in Europe was concluded between Poland and Germany in 1934, aka "Hitler-Pilsudski Pact". But let the bygones be bygones, right? As long as somebody kills Russians Warsaw will be fine, even if it has to perform a fellatio on genocidal maniacs.
