... and marketing are two things which shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
And these were Houthis. I don't use the term "paper tiger" lightly. When I use it--I mean it. But then again, I will not be able to produce a movie "Top Gun: Maverick". I do not have qualifications ...Thursday, February 12, 2026
Europe Learned Nothing ...
... from WW II. But there was a moment in space and time when Russians, Americans and Brits mingled together and believed that this should never repeat itself. Well...
This Is Not News ...
... really. It has been known for a long time and that is what has been considered by Russia's strategic planners since 2013 at least, in reality since 2008.
Former Texas Representative Ron Paul said the U.S. economic order rests on “fraud” rooted in the 1971 break from gold and warned that the current system is nearing its end, in a wide-ranging 90th-birthday interview on The Tucker Carlson Podcast released Thursday. Paul, a Republican-turned-Libertarian-turned-Republican, tied his warning to the end of dollar convertibility into gold under President Richard Nixon, calling it the nation’s “first declaration of bankruptcy,” and argued that persistent money printing and deficits have created a brittle order primed for a severe correction.
The US has been into FIRE economy transition since 1980s, but it was in 1990s when the process of deindustrialization and Wall Streetization of the economy went into the overdrive. Today we have economy of this type:
With a bunch of morons who continue to believe in gimmicks and the idea that you can "make money" which are not supported by anything other than zeros in computers. As long as "growth" was provided by inflating the capitalization of some pseudo-techno mambo-jumbo they thought they should be fine. Well, no. Ponzi schemes do not last long. For a country such as the US 50 years is a short time. So, the chickens are coming home to roost. That also has been demonstrated by SMO.
Meanwhile, 404 is now "drafting" ... midgets, FFS.
Meanwhile:
A majority of Germans support direct talks between German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Russian President Vladimir Putin on ending the Ukraine conflict, the DPA news agency reported on Thursday, citing a recent YouGov poll. Some 58% of respondents said they would somewhat or strongly support such negotiations, according to the survey. Just over a quarter of respondents opposed the idea. Support for direct talks was especially high among Merz’ conservative voters, with 64% responding positively. The YouGov survey was conducted online over four days last week among more than 2,000 Germans.
There is one, well--two problems with that. There cannot be a "dialogue" anymore, only reading of the articles of capitulation. But most important one--majority of Russians do not want this "dialogue", they didn't forget German Leopards in Kursk Oblast. It is all too little, too late. This doesn't mean that normal Germans will not be met in Russia with open arms when immigrating, but Germany as an entity and as a nation is Russia's existential enemy, as is most of Europe.

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?"
