Oh, The Horror!

Manstein and von Bock are spinning in their graves. In general, Prussian officer corps is dying the second time after observing the mighty Bundeswehr on the march)

If anyone thinks that marching is not important (aka marching drills--строевая подготовка), I have a bridge to sell you--it is a stepping stone to a unit cohesion and part of military culture. Of course, it is just one element of it, but an important one. 

So, judging by this particular formation of Bundeswehr (and Bundesmarine) marching, there are issues, alright. Being sharp not only in the uniform but in posture, poise and movement--this is how average people recognize military people, even when they are not in uniform. Obviously, the cliché that army's worth is known not from the parades but battlefield performance is known to many, but even real parade is a reflection of the army, not to mention the fact that many who never attended any sport before entering military often encounter some minor or even significant issues with coordination--marching in formation addresses it. This is not what you see in this video.   

So, you cannot judge the force on marching alone, but you MUST judge in conjunction with many other factors. Here is Belgian defense cadets (whatever that means) "marching":

They improved ... somewhat this year)) But yes, this is the same military whose Chief of General Staff assured poor dying out Low Countries that Netherlands and Belgium are "bigger than Russia" whatever that means. And I am not going to comment on the OTHER parade, last year, if you know what I mean.  

Oh, But That's How ...

 ... Pentagon and a bunch of amateurs with political pseudoscience degrees think. 

Matt Kroenig has wanted the U.S. to attack Iran for more than a decade. Now that he got the war he wanted and it failed, he is reduced to arguing this: 

To be sure, the United States did not register a knockout punch against the Islamic Republic, but to continue the boxing metaphor, it did win on points. 

War isn’t a sport, and there is no winning on “points.” The ghouls that cheered this war on treat war as if it were a video game where you get more “points” with every person you kill or maim. How many “points” did the U.S. get from massacring the innocent schoolgirls in Minab with missiles? If the U.S. won, as Kroenig insists, what did we win? What does the U.S. have now that it didn’t have before?

If anyone has any doubts about this approach (a euphemism for covering up humiliating losses), allow me to remind you this: 

During the Paris Peace talks to end the war in Vietnam, Col. Harry G. Summers Jr. told a North Vietnamese colonel, "You know, you never defeated us on the battlefield." After pondering the remark, the colonel replied: "That may be so. But it is also irrelevant."

This is exactly how the US views WAR. That is why it loses. One-liners such as "victory in war is determined by achieving political objectives of said war" are not enough for making conclusions on matters of strategy and especially so--operations. So, if some uneducated neocon moron who built his career in deep recesses of Pentagon's political fairy tales office, talks like this--know then, he is coping. But then again, US Ivy League humanities degree mills are an insult to real education in history, international relations and ... well, credentialed idiot Kroenig will not understand basic things about war, a real one.  

Poland Crossed The Point ...

 ... of no return a long time ago. FUD--the only thing NATO can conduct. 

These ARE European Values.

And some high profile arrests do not change the trend. 

A British businessman who became known as the country’s ‘first gay father’ has been charged with child sex offenses, according to media reports. Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, 57, was already facing a number of criminal allegations alongside his current husband, Scott Drewitt-Barlow, 32. The couple, who bought Essex-based football club Maldon and Tiptree FC in 2025, appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court on Monday. They were reportedly hit with 18 additional charges, including rape and child sex offenses. The new charges relate to offenses allegedly committed between 2013 and 2026. According to Essex Police, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow was also charged with two counts of sexual activity with a child, two counts of paying for the sexual services of a child, five counts of rape, and four counts of sexual assault, among other offenses. Scott Drewitt-Barlow faces two additional rape charges and one count of causing or inciting sexual activity.

Huge part of fanatical hatred of Russia among Western so called "elites" and large swaths of Euro societies is a wide spread of sodomy, pedophilia and of other sexual perversions there. As I repeat ad nauseam--the final objective of these people is institutionalization of pedophilia. It has sexual and economic dimensions which is one of the tools of globalists who long ago degenerated into pure Satanists. 

Thus, this whole clusterfuck around the globe has also a very strong religious aspect to it. It is the fight for the heart of civilization in general and Christianity in particular. I am an atheist essentially, but the contrast between Russian Orthodoxy (not without its problems) and the so called Protestantism cannot be starker. Including visually. 

Here is what Protestantism has become. 

But that's the whole other discussion on beauty. 

You Don't Need ...

... to know Russian to see how KP (Command Post) of one of the battalions of 4th Brigade works in support of its storm groups mopping up Konstantinovka.

Real time awareness, laser painting of machine gun ambushes by 404, constant supply of ammo, food and what's needed. There are some other things which the trained eye will notice.  

In Order For Me ...

 ... to not respond individually to every message to me about NATO attacks on Russian infrastructure. Latest one being on Voronezh allegedly "destroying" some microchip factory. I repeat again--attacks on Russia will continue as will continue info (FUD) operations by all kinds of otherwise impotent NATO intel-military orgs. Here is an example:

The girl whose video from ... Saratov complaining about the state of the railroad station in Saratov was used by TSIPSO for illustrating its propaganda point that ... nobody can leave Crimea. That's MO, including MO of human herpes otherwise known as Western legacy media. Another example, in Voronezh there is a rationing of gasoline for city driving of 30 liters (roughly 9 gallons) per single filling. True, what is not reported is that this "rationing" is ONLY for Lukoil gas stations chain, due to planned maintenance of its refineries which is done every year or so. What are other options where there is no "rationing"? Well VTK, Rosneft, Tatneft etc. They try their utmost to sow the panic and FSB works overtime catching traitors recruited by GUR. Plus Russian gasoline "cartels" creating artificial deficit in some places. 

Killing civilians, derailing the trains--that's the only type of war NATO can conduct. OK. Here is yet another one willing to blow railroad tracks. But why such a media assault (especially in the West) all of a sudden. I repeat, again--this is Konstantinovka today, per reports--95% of it is under Russian control. 

Druzhkovka is next and that means the start of the Kramatorsk-Slavyansk Offensive Operation in earnest with elimination of the main forces of 404 there. Hence the hysteria in the West. I want to repeat--I DO NOT make any conclusions based only on some videos and social media posts, I try to get and distill available OPERATIONAL data to get a picture, as much as it is possible under present circumstances. 

Today is June 22. Anyone who has any brain knows what June 22, 1941 date is. As 85 years ago, the combined West tries to launch yet another Operation Barbarossa. They already failed and there will be no 1941 in Russian history again. Degenerate globalist "elites" are desperate to extend their life but their fate is sealed. And I want to remind, again, what this picture means:

It is just that this time it is Russian tricolor which is there instead of the Soviet flag--this is as relevant today as it ever was. This is also for all those "emotional" types who constantly listen to garbage by frauds such as Karagnov and his ilk and do not understand why Russia won the arms race. 

Remove One Scumbag ...

 ... get another to replace him. It doesn't matter who the UK's PM is--it is going to be a pompous corrupt hack with delusions of grandeur. 

Centuries of incest, physical and mental degeneracy and of negative selection doomed Britain and it cannot be saved unless the process of wholesale defenestration begins. In the end, UK's influence on world affairs is grossly exaggerated, to the point of a grotesque fantasy, supported to a large extent by media exploitation of England's massive contribution to human civilization in XVIII-XIX centuries in industry, arts and science. So, let UK stew in its own misery and die out together with its pompous and corrupt "elites".
