Little Engines ...

The End Of ...

 ... ArcelorMittal Krivoy Rog--404's main metallurgical (foundry) plant. 

For now they merely "paused" production. Russia likely will make this pause permanent. A reminder about some guy saying this: "we haven't started anything yet." 

Well, It Is Not Wrong.

 And it is a cold hard truth. 

And if that hasn't been enough, get this from Bild)))

NATO is preparing for a possible attack by Russia in the Baltic States with a new land war concept. There are detailed plans on how to stop rocket fire, stop Putin's troops at the border and weaken supply routes deep in Russia. Drones, autonomous combat zones and special forces operations play a key role in this.

Here is a gist of those strategies. 

According to the publication, the plan to counter Russia consists of three main strategies. It is noted that Major Andrew Pingree of the U.S. Army played a leading role in developing the concept. 

▪️ According to the first point, NATO intends to stop Russian missile strikes. To achieve this, NATO's fighter jets, missiles, and drones will need to destroy Russian missile complexes. One of the targets will be Kaliningrad, where a large number of air defense systems are located.

▪️ According to the second point, an "autonomous zone" is planned to be created along the borders with Russia and Belarus, which should serve as a protective barrier. Within this zone, only drones and unmanned military vehicles will operate against Russian forces. No NATO personnel are planned to be stationed there.

▪️ In the third phase, NATO intends to strike targets within Russia itself. To do this, special forces will need to destroy important military and logistical facilities. These include airfields, defense industry enterprises, bridges, and railways used by Russia to transport troops and equipment to the front.

The publication also notes that NATO intends to try to destabilize the situation directly within Russia.

This is a fucking circus. And don't give me this shit that Bild is a tabloid, every mainstream media in the West is tabloid. 

Joe Kent Doesn't Understand ...

... the subject matter--expected from a guy whose "knowledge" of Russia is that of, indeed, warrant officer who never saw anything beyond counterinsurgency (yes, he tragically lost his wife to suicide bomber) and degree in "strategic studies and defense analysis" ONLINE from Norwich University, that is the degree mill for NCO level guys from special forces. 

The gap becomes immediately obvious. Same one-liners, same platitudes which distinguish US military-intel personnel whose ideas about war and warfare are that of the expeditionary force whose main task is regime change in third world shitholes. You cannot bridge this gap, especially when clueless Joe Kent speaks about "Putin". 

Ian and Me.

Last week, about the fate of Europe (and the West in general) and about how Russians view Europe.

Russians, Of Course, "Cannot Fly Formation"(c)/s

Senator and astronaut Kelly, of course, never understood what he was dealing with, when he uttered this, now a meme, idiocy.   

Here, four SU-57s are just maneuvering for Egorov and his TV Zvezda show "Military Acceptance". 

In related news. We all know that Victor David Hanson is a credentialed cretin (as is Pierce Morgan). Here is how this "warfare expert" knows shit about world outside. 

West's media continue the rotation of the same morons like VDH non-stop, and for some reason expect to learn something of substance. No, it is all to create a low-brow show. These all are the signs of decomposition of Western societies and a complete enshittification and uglification of what passes for culture today in the West. 

Yes, one has to be "confident". Being normal and competent? No. 

Why US MIC ...

 ... is helpless. That's what privatization of strategic assets gets you.
