895!

No, not factorial--just 895)) He did it. 

Now, to a more serious affair. As you might expect, sore losers from all kinds of military porn sources bad mouth 2S43 Malva self-propelled gun. What they do forget that modern Malva has a new barrel, can shoot at 70 km and has a very good accuracy. Against this background, somebody comes up with a larger picture. 

This news was backed by images shared on a military-focused Telegram channel called BTVT.INFO. The photos showed a train moving at least eight of these powerful weapons across the country. This happened in February, and it signaled something important: Russia’s weapons factories are not slowing down, even under heavy international sanctions. These sanctions, mainly placed by the United States and NATO allies, were meant to weaken Russia’s military industry. But the picture of those Malva howitzers on the train tells a different story. Instead of shrinking, Russia’s artillery output appears to be growing. This raises serious questions about how effective the sanctions really are.

I can tell you immediately (again)--not very effective at all. What has been sanctioned by the West Russia simply substitutes domestically. It is like explaining to all kinds of nanometer fanboys that the fact that Russia created own 350 nm lithography means only one thing--next year it is going to be (getting ready) --130 nm and 90 nm (overwhelming majority of the industrial and military applications) and then onto 65, 12 etc. It is akin to explaining to fanboys why serial production (ongoing as I type this) of MS-21 was delayed--Russians completely russified this plane. Many people still cannot grasp global (yes, global) significance of all that. And PD-35 is coming ... 

Weekend ...

Time for high quality corn. 

Mesmerizingly beautiful.  
 

You Don't Have To Be ...

 ... an intel professional to recognize that National Security Adviser Waltz is a neocon and not very good at national security advising. WSJ (this other neocon globalist central) laments:

Americans are trying to absorb President Trump’s tariff assault on world trade, so few may notice this week’s White House firings at the National Security Council. The impetus appears to be fear of disloyalty, but the bigger worry should be the risk that Mr. Trump surrounds himself with yes-men.

It has to be noted that if there is a "yes-men" phenomenon in the so-called national security circles than it is certainly not people like this dude, who was removed among others. 

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), who sits on both the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees, said it “raises eyebrows” when “there is a firing of people on the National Security Council or their staff, particularly people that we have respect for, who were part of the Intel community to begin with here in the Senate,” according to The Associated Press. Particularly strong criticism has been aired over the firing of Haugh, who had led the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command since 2023.  Haugh oversaw the agencies’ significant roles in U.S. cybersecurity — the NSA collects and analyzes huge amounts of information to support the military and other federal national security agencies, while U.S. Cyber Command plans offensive operations against enemies and defends U.S. networks. 

US presstitudes blame those firings on the activity of the "far-right activist" Laura Loomer, and that even may be so, if not for, indeed, interesting background of Haugh who increasingly looks like a globalist (a euphemism for DNC) asset from his appointment by Mark Milley (a real yes-man for Biden) and then such details about this NSA guy as this quip from WaPo:

He ran Cyber Command’s half of the “Russia Small Group,” a joint effort with the NSA to defend the 2018 midterm elections from Russian interference. The NSA portion was led by Anne Neuberger, who went on to serve in the Biden administration as a deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies. During the election defense effort in 2018, Haugh led offensive operations against Russian trolls and launched initiatives to disclose publicly Russian spy agency malware and to conduct “Hunt Forward” missions to boot Russian intelligence from Eastern European government networks, recalled Jason Kikta, who was at the time lead defensive cyber operations planner for Cyber Command.

Ah, you see--he "fought" those proverbial Russian trolls, who, as we all know, are the "real threat" to the American democracy. Well, I guess if I were Trump, I also would have had serious questions to this cabal's (Sullivan's leftovers) loyalty and actual work in defending the US against real threats.  The removal of DNC assets continues. Russian trolls exhale in relief.  

Give Wayne The Credit ...

 ... where the credit is due. Yes, he made some statements at the start of SMO which do not do him the honor, however, throughout the whole affair he was magnanimous and a class act. Nobody disputes Wayne's status as The Great One, he surely is, but for a moment--enjoy two legends being ... legends. In other news, Ovi did for Russian-American relations so much that I cannot even put it in words. Think about it--he is the Captain of the US Capital's team. He is also a vocal supporter of Putin--let it sink. 

Here, Wayne speaks about his Russian ancestry. Verbatim. 

RAND Gives A Decent Primer ...

 ... on Russian view on COFM (Correlation of Forces and Means) --it is not horrendously difficult to understand--and COFM has a good correlation with combat losses. Well, evidently Mr. Cavoli and US Army discovered a new math in which Russia is both winning and losing to NATO (and their 404 thugs) simultaneously. Great Alexander Svechin's truism that the plan should be based exclusively on reality is simply disposed of in favor of kindergarten level BS designed to cover up a catastrophic defeat of NATO. 

Krivoy Rog ...

 ... yesterday. One of the targets hit--a restaurant with 80+ NATO and VSU officers. 

But according to General Cavoli, Russia, while regenerating her military at an astonishing rate, still loses the SMO by a gigantic margin because the astonishing rate is not astonishing enough. You know, this classic example of doublethink: it is the act of holding, simultaneously, two opposite, individually exclusive ideas or opinions and believing in both simultaneously and absolutely. Doublethink requires using logic against logic or suspending disbelief in the contradiction. The three slogans of the party — "War Is Peace; Freedom Is Slavery; Ignorance Is Strength" — are obvious examples of doublethink. The act of doublethink also occurs in more subtle details throughout the Cavoli's written statement to the Senate Armed Services Committee. I deal with it in my today's video, evidently the US military made a new discovery in math. 

He Did It!

 One of the greatest moments in sports.
