Open Thread.

Very busy today. 

It Is No Surprise ...

 ... and I am on record, terrorism is the weapon of the weak. 

MANILA /Philippines/, July 22. /TASS/. The United States is not just helping, but directly involved in directing Ukrainian weapons at targets, including civilians, on Russian territory. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov following his participation in ASEAN events in the Philippines.

I understand how difficult it is for decent people inside the US military to accept the fact that they are not the best, they are involved directly in terrorism and war crimes and that most of what they know about themselves is primarily from internal propaganda. So, what's left? Well, let's kill some civilians. The desire to "kill some Russians" is deeply ingrained in the US military-political top because of complex of inferiority, being not in the same league and recognition of what I speak about non stop for more than a decade--the US lost the arms race, it is all about spite and racism. But then again, US military for all intents and purposes is an Israeli military and has no a single serviceman, top-bottom, who would be able to coherently state when did the US military actually defend the US and her actual national interests. 

These are all hallmarks of a decomposing empire. Here are some results of the activity of the "finest fighting force in history".

The "most moral" military force of IDF looks at their apprentices from Pentagon with approval.

Gloves Off ...

 ... and why. 



This Is Not ...

 ... how I imagined the fight between PLAN and Philippines' Navy, but this is tense but still funny. 


But reality, of course, is much more serious and the US will continue its, however useless, buildup in the area and use its vassals, I mean "allies", to provoke China. I am not going into the legal aspect of all those waters and all those Spratlys and all that, but here is a delusion on part of "intellectual" (I elaborate on this in my video today) Kazianis who lives in 1965 or maybe, indeed, in his 1945 outlet and never heard of antishipping missiles. 

China Is Building Toward Nine Aircraft Carriers. America Has Eleven — and Can’t Replace Them Fast Enough.  

Why China builds them is clear--it is symbolic because China has a monstrous shipbuilding industry which dwarfs that of the US and China leverages it, but also because she still copies very many views on war, in this case naval one, from the US. What many people still cannot grasp--China doesn't have strike weapon systems which guarantee sufficient number of leakers to stop US CBGs. Anybody who continues with a delusion of Chinese "hypersonic" weapons--I have news, China doesn't have them. Calling ballistic missiles which enter atmosphere at hypersonic speed a "hypersonic weapon" is the same as calling Packard autos the same generation as 2026 Honda Accord. 

This is the reality which very many people who do admire (I do it too) Chinese achievements (not least through first Soviet aid and then the US transplanting here manufacturing to China) cannot accept--in terms of naval warfare China is not in the same league because for all of its huge issues, including WW II based fighting doctrine of the US surface navy, China is nowhere near in terms of submarine component of the US or Russian Navies. Plus, the issue which many want to ignore but which Iran learned the hard way--Chinese AD turned out to be not what was promised. Russia warned Iran, but China outbid Russia. Well ... That's the reality and it is much more nuanced than merely proclaiming existing capability which is a much more inferior copy of original. Just to demonstrate:


I forestall many China fanboys who will rush to defend China while having no clue about realities of technological dimension of modern warfare. I repeat again, Russia "helped" (euphemism for built) Chinese missile attack early warning system. Get a hint and a clue.

Correct!

And he is saying nothing new. Schumpeter anyone? He also forgets to include "economics" into this, because these are precisely "intellectual" ideas by modern economists who drove the combined West into the ground.  


And then comes this fact--so called "intellectual elites" everywhere possess absolutely zero grasp of how societies operate, be that on lower level of interactions or in such highly complex fields as engineering, warfare, medicine et al. 

Numerical view of the world? 


I wouldn't put lawyers in this list, despite the fact that it is definitely necessary occupation and it is a hard one. Recall what type of "degrees" dominate American politics. Correct--lawyers. Senate alone has 50% of senators who are lawyers. However, Law Degree is not enough for navigating complexities of the modern world at legislative and executive levels. You all know how the US Congress "operates". 

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda.

This is for people who still cannot get the obvious answer to question of Why Now. Why now Russia dropped the gloves. Let me explain again, which is difficult for Western audiences to accept because it all lies beyond their political and life experiences. So, why now this:


Or, in other words why not only Kiev is being denied the remnants of its industry and in parts begins to look like this:


But the whole of 404 is being turned into the barren land and is being isolated from the Black Sea. You don't need to physically take Odessa to do so, you just need to stop shipping to and from Odessa and Nikolaev--Sea Denial smoothly translating to Sea Control. 

Starobelsk? Sure, NATO terrorism is good enough casus belli for wiping out the remnants of the cancer combined West created. But for those people who do follow actual state of Russian society--granted, impossible to do if you consume Western media propaganda--it is incomprehensible to accept that Russian society is extremely sophisticated in terms of war and understanding the nature of the conflict, because it is in a cultural genetic code. Combined West doesn't have this cultural DNA, especially the US. Obviously, all kinds of fake Western "academicians" may bloviate about "support" or lack thereof of American people for some military adventure, but there is NO cultural and spiritual connection between average Joe and TPTB because it cannot exist--there are no conditions for it. 

In Russia, especially today, this connection is profound and Russian political power is well attuned to the mood of the average Ivan, and Ivan now wants blood and 404 gone. In fact, average Russian Ivan today wouldn't mind Berlin, Brussels and Paris with London be gone too--a dramatic shift from the earlier phases of SMO with "they are still our people" moods being prevalent. Those are over. And Kremlin reacts, because REAL wars, unlike post WW II adventurism of the US in Vietnam and elsewhere, are not fought by public opinion polls and media propaganda--they are fought by a synapse between society and TPTB. 404 must and it will die (that is cease to exist in its present form) and if it takes the suffering of whatever remains of this political nation--Russia gladly provides it already. Russia could have done this earlier, but the most important element was still missing--a sense of justice shared by the whole of Russian society. Now it is in place and operational tempo increased dramatically and it will increase even more in coming weeks. All conditions are finally in place. Wait, where did we encounter it before? Ah, yes ...

“Yes, yes,” answered Prince Andrew absently. “One thing I would do if I had the power,” he began again, “I would not take prisoners. Why take prisoners? It’s chivalry! The French have destroyed my home and are on their way to destroy Moscow, they have outraged and are outraging me every moment. They are my enemies. In my opinion they are all criminals. And so thinks Timokhin and the whole army. They should be executed! Since they are my foes they cannot be my friends, whatever may have been said at Tilsit.”

But then again, what do those Russians know about the war. They are not "the finest fighting force in history"(c). /s

I Actually Agree ...

 ... Dostoevsky is not for everyone and he is definitely not my favorite Russian writer. So one British dude contemplates ...

On the back of my copy of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s 1869 novel The Idiot, there’s a quote from the English philosopher A.C. Grayling that tells you what to think of it. “One of the most excoriating, compelling and remarkable books ever written,” it reads, “and without question one of the greatest.” That “without question” bothered me. Why assume that every classic deserves its reputation? We should make up our own minds after having read one, as we do with any other book.  

That wasn’t the only reason why I treated Grayling’s claims with skepticism as I edged my way into this gargantuan novel (I can’t remember exactly when that was, but I know I was a much younger man at the time). Having kicked and dragged myself through the same author’s late “masterpiece” The Brothers Karamazov (1880) last year, I knew what I was in for. And now, having almost finished The Idiot, I can say with confidence that Dostoevsky is a dreadful writer. Dreadful.   

Obviously he didn't read Solzhenitsyn in original, Russian language, version--this is the rape of taste and mind 101, while there is a lot to be said about Nabokov. I would suggest Mark Nayler read Sholokhov's Quiet Flows the Don (that will blow his mind). But, I want to remind you about Sir Michael Caine (as the last vestige of an English culture, euphemism for England, we all used to love and admire--not anymore). 


And his story telling which is exemplary. 

Sea Control 2.0.

 Or release rapists and pedophiles. 



If You Think That This Photo ...

... is unremarkable and is nothing more than some groceries--you are wrong.  


These are Russian foods from Russian Far East's farmers in grocery stores in Pyongyang. Recall, when Russia broke through blockade, signed REAL allied treaty with DPRK and that stunned the world? Including China, whose relations with North Korea have always been strained. Now, the economic dimension of it becomes increasingly visible. It will only grow and good for Korean people who in 1990s and 2000s went through horrendous famines. Consumer variety, especially in food, matters a great deal, to put it lightly. 

MOSCOW, July 19 — RIA Novosti. President Vladimir Putin met with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hi in the Kremlin. He noted that relations between Moscow and Pyongyang are developing in all directions, and once again expressed gratitude to the DPRK for support for the special military operation"The valor, bravery, courage and heroism of your soldiers have been awarded state awards of the Russian Federation. We will never forget their feat, we will honor Korean heroes on an equal basis with our compatriots," the head of state said. Choe Son-hi, for her part, stressed that the DPRK will continue to support Russia's efforts to defend sovereignty, security interests, territorial integrity and eliminate the root causes of the crisis in Ukraine.

Yes, the relations will continue to grow. So will North Koreans' standard of living. They proved themselves real friends of Russia and there are huge benefits which come with that.

Open Thread.

 Busy today. Go at it. 

Ah, OK.

Sure, there will be takers. This is how low he stooped.

US President Donald Trump’s social network Truth Social will start selling investors early access to posts from prominent accounts, most likely including his own, the holding company has announced. Critics argue that the move could create an unprecedented new way for the president to profit from his office, given his family controls Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the platform’s publicly traded corporate parent. The move was announced on Thursday, when TMTG unveiled Truth API, a business-to-business data feed providing “real-time access to posts from the highest-ranking Truth Social accounts.”

He really is not governing (he and his ilk do not know how) he is fleecing. The only thing they know is how make money by selling BS.


He is NOT the most powerful man in the world(c), neither is the US a premier military power--it is an obsolete force. Doctrine-mongering is no substitute for modern TOE and effective fighting doctrine. Yep, here is Jordan and American air defense in (lack of) action. 

But no worries, Hollywood will produce Top Gun-III and even IV.

WC 2026.

The Third Place match tomorrow)))



Sea Control ...

 ... and how "sunk" Russian Black Sea Fleet chocked 404 shipping. 



No, He Is No "Loyalist".

And he never was, the only loyalty this creep had was to his pocket and ego. 

A former loyalist blogger turned fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin has been detained and accused of spreading false information about the armed forces, state media reported Friday. The news came just as a court hearing was being held for another Kremlin critic and opposition politician, Boriz Nadezhdin, in a sign of an intensified crackdown as Putin faces mounting internal dissent over the war in Ukraine and its impact on Russian life. The blogger, Ilya Remeslo, stunned many in Russia when he published a scathing manifesto against the Russian leader that went viral in March.

Remeslo, apart from obvious host of mental issues was deep into business of voenwhores (aka military bloggers) and with his degree in law he provided an excellent channel for GUR/MI6/CIA fake information about SMO and finally the award found its "hero". Next in this position should be a shadow GUR asset and BSer Mr. Svinchuk, aka Rybar, who for years provided his "analysis" shaped by VSU propaganda. There are many of those people, especially from 404 who, having zero serious military expertise, continue to abuse informational sphere of Russia, while also collecting donations for Russian Armed Forces with questionable accounting. 

Per Nadezhdin--a complete scumbag, with ties to unsavory people in the West. Traditionally, prostitutes at NBC lie--"mounting internal dissent over the war" is primarily in sexual fantasies of low lives who write this drivel, while if there is a dissent (and it does exist) it is on the level of some people Russia who, should their wishes have been granted, would launch Bulava, Oreshnik and Kinzhals with nuclear ordnance and would turn most of Europe and 404 into the glass parking lot. Thankfully, they are not at the helm. Yes, there is that type of "dissent" among some Russians. But NBC editorial board's  supporters of pederasts, Nazis and other types of perverts wouldn't allow honest reporting on SMO. 

Here is another demonstration of "dissent" by the ass-hole with rather average writing ability (he didn't bring the Soviet Union down) but who was praised universally ... by the West. 

And who served in Russia as a sort-of trip wire by the oligarchic class until events of 2014 and especially of SMO completely disabled oligarchic class and with it the necessity for people to read his BS, instead of dedicating time to real history of Soviet Union, Stalin, purges and GULAG. Solzh is totally germane to Remeslo (and others) because this is "anti-regime" propaganda 101. Opportunism.

Some Food For Thought ...

 ... about one of the major reasons why Old Europe is not recoverable. It cannot be saved. 


Its population cannot be saved because it largely does share this insanity with their "elites". This statistics is directly related to dying out of indigenous white Europeans and utter cuckoldization of its male population. Many still cannot grasp the metaphysical nature of the conflict between Russia and the West. 

Yes, Absolutely!

Wonderful gains. Everywhere. 

European Commissioner for Defence Andrius Kubilius said that Ukraine's recent advances targeting Russian maritime vessels and energy infrastructure is putting Kyiv in a position of strength — and should hopefully force Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table. "It's remarkable what Ukraine managed to achieve during the recent half a year with deep strikes," he said on the Europe Today programme.

It must be noted that Kubilius is an Exhibit A of what even trashy Russian rag Gazeta notes (while missing the main reason) by asking a legitimate question: 

Why Western Europe keeps producing weak leaders. From Boris Johnson to Emmanuel Macron: why Western Europe’s political class appears less capable than previous generations. 

The author also missed on proper title of why the combined West produces dumbfucks as leaders. But even in this form it will do. Meanwhile, Russians continue to do what Russians do: 

Russian fighters reached the outskirts of Sloviansk and began to enter the city. This was told by the deputy commander of the 9th Engineer Regiment of the 25th Combined Arms Army of the West group with the call sign Gagarin. According to the officer, the main efforts of the Russian army are now aimed at hindering the movement of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and mining the roads. "We have already reached the outskirts of Sloviansk. There, the enemy prepared the roads, covered with nets," Gagarin explained.

You see, this is a Russian method of demonstrating "weakness" and getting ready, per this Lithuanian cretin from European Commission, to get themselves to "negotiating table". Or rather, signing of capitulation table.

PLAN and Russian Navy ...

 ... concluded joint exercises Naval Cooperation 2026.

Then went to conduct joint patrols in the Yellow Sea. From Russian Navy missile cruiser Varyag, missile corvette Rezkyi, SSK Ufa and rescue ship Igor Belousov took part. 


By now these are routine exercises and they are not your proforma joint maneuvering and search and rescue missions, they always involve an extensive "combat" part such as ASW, AD and, judging by the presence of Belousov and Ufa, likely also trained rescue operations of submarine in distress. 

Garland and Yours Truly ...

 ... live in 40 minutes. 



When Even ISW ...

 ... cannot deny reality) 



Druzhkovka-Kramatorsk ...

 ... road. 

Completely choking off logistics for VSU, and Russian DRGs are already operating inside Druzhkovka in recon capacity. This is from 4th Independent Motor Rifle Brigade. This formation is one of a number operating already in and around Druzhkovka. NATO's "Maginot Line" is being disassembled block by block. Can you imagine the butthurt level in NATO? It is at 11.

They Say It Originated In ...

 ... Poland. 


Russia fights for us against banderites. Strangely enough, but it is true. 

In Theory I Should ...

 ... say Hooray, gallic pride (LOL) is back and people are protesting. Nah, it is all BS. 

French citizens expressed mass indignation at the appearance of soldiers of the Kyiv regime at the solemn procession in honor of Bastille Day. Residents of France reacted harshly to the publication of President Emmanuel Macron on the social network X (formerly Twitter, blocked in the Russian Federation), RIA Novosti reports. The French leader posted video footage of the march of Ukrainian units at the main national holiday. "It's a shame to see the French armed forces marching alongside the Banderites. Russia is the only bulwark against fascism and Western decline," wrote one of the commentators under the post of head of state. Other users noted the inadmissibility of the presence of an army sympathetic to Nazi collaborators on the Champs-Elysees. Some users advised Macron to seek medical help because of his pride in such an event. Earlier, the leader of the right-wing Patriots party, Florian Filippo, also called the participation of the Ukrainian military in the celebrations on July 14 a disgrace.

Oh, come on, France--you voted for that, consistently. Enjoy.


No sympathy from me--your destiny is to march with Nazis and then disappear as people (the process is long under way). So, it doesn't matter who and how "protest" on X--the world saw the opening ceremony of Paris Olympics.

When I State ...

 ... that professional level of NATO's top brass is appalling, I mean it. Here is French Admiral Vandier living la vida loca in La La Land. If he believes this amateurish BS he spews, what can I say ... 


Somebody has to tell him that his "exquisite" high precision weapons are outranged and outpaced by any modern strike weapon in Russian arsenal (we omit here comparison of numbers--the difference is two orders of magnitude) and that if he still thinks that Russia wants to invade Europe--thanks, but no thanks. If he wants to invade himself--his kindergarten military concepts are not going to help--he and his country will cease to exist. As Stalin once said about Soviet writers: "I have no other writers for you". I will rephrase--I have no other top brass for you. 

In Continuation Of ...

... statistics issue. Keep in mind, just for understanding what is going on--UK produces the best AD missile Europe managed to develop, Aster-30, at a rate of ... one per month. France and Germany do not fare much better. 

PARIS, July 13 (Reuters) - Ukraine and key Western allies on Monday announced an air-defence coalition that would include jointly developing a new anti-ballistic missile system as an alternative and cheaper solution to the U.S. Patriot system. With Ukraine increasingly exposed to Russian ballistic missiles, ‌leaders gathered in Paris for a summit, where 10 countries, along with about a dozen firms from the defence sector, met to press on with ‌what they called the Integrated Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition.

Considering a very low professional level of European militaries and R&D sector, apart from economic woes, it is difficult to explain that wholesale damage to NATO stooge in 404 is produced by what is called combined (комбинированные) strikes which include in themselves (in fact--majority) such means as drones, cruise missiles (including hypersonic 3M22 Zircon and supersonic P-800 Oniks) AND what amounts to quasi-ballistic maneuvering Iskanders. 

Europe has neither technology nor capability to do anything about it and so the whole "plan" here is for Europe to drown herself in debt and then start buying crappy American systems such as Patriot PAC3. SAMP-Ts, this euro AD complex was produced in "massive" numbers such as ... ahem ... 15 (fifteen) in total. So, well ... this is called defeat and Russians, contrary to Mearsheimer's amateurish concepts of "quick victory", will continue steam-roll NATO's arsenal while choking any attempt, however delusional, on narrowing the gap. Zugzwang. 

Statistics of Failure.

Giving a taste of scale for people who still cannot grasp a clear picture of the US military decline. 

Even theoretical probabilities bankrupt the US, practical ones? It is a race to the bottom. 

Yeah, And?

 As if it is something new. 

Oil prices jumped more than 8% on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the United States would reinstate its blockade on Iran, forcing traders to once again price in the risk of prolonged disruption to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude climbed above $82 per barrel during afternoon trading, gaining more than 8%, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) surged past $77 per barrel. Monday’s surge wiped out most of the losses that followed last month’s ceasefire, pushing Brent back above $82 and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) above $77 as traders responded to the renewed fighting.

I am not a specialist in oil, but even I can grasp consequences, especially considering military dynamics in the Gulf where the US is stuck in the trap and cannot free itself from the inexorable march of history. The signs are clear, especially considering an appalling "effectiveness" of the US so called air (lack of) defense. 

Meanwhile, Russian and Chinese navies train. 


People asked me to comment on CNO Admiral Daryl Caudle's ideas about US Navy in his interview to Bloomberg. I will.

Larry Counts Hours ...

 ... as a former CIA analyst is supposed to. 

Let’s follow the timeline. According to the official story: 911 call from his DC residence at 8:30pm ET on July 11 for suspected cardiac arrest. He “died at home.” This is total bullshit! So let’s go thru the timeline. Senator Graham arrived in Kyiv between 09:45–10:45 local on July 10th. The train he took from Poland departed Warsaw at 18:15 hours local on July 9th. It was an overnight train. To arrive in Poland in time to take the 18:15 train, Lindsey would have departed Dulles International Airport at around 0700 local on July 9 — the flight from Dulles to Warsaw is 9 hours. So Lindsey Graham arrives in Kyiv by 11 am Friday morning. He meets with Zelensky and tours a drone factory. Then we are asked to believe that he returns to Washington, DC after spending less than 24 hours on the ground. Again, I call bullshit!! 

The earliest train back to Warsaw departs Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi at 07:40–08:00 on the 11th and arrives Przemyśl Główny in the afternoon (~17:00–18:00). That is at least nine hours. That would make it roughly 1100 hours in Washington, DC. Let’s assume he has an hour to get to the airport and the plane takes off at 1900 hours local from Poland. The flight going west takes 10 hours… This means the earliest the plane could have landed at Dulles is midnight on the 11th. That is 3 ½ hours after Graham reportedly died at home. As I noted at the outset… The story of Lindsey Graham’s death at home is BULLSHIT!

I agree with Larry--the timeline issue is critical here. Could it be that Lindsey met his end in Kiev? I am not saying it is 100% but the probability is very high that he died in Kiev. Was he an accidental (or maybe deliberate?) victim of Russian strikes at the drone factory he visited or was something else involved in his demise? Who knows. But there is very little doubt that he was a war criminal, warmonger, supporter of terrorism and genocidal maniac. Good riddance. 

Remember The Title ...

 ... of my first book? 


Well, I was wrong--it is not a myopia, it is an utter, sheer lack of vision and grasp of what strategy is. Strategic planning? What planning? 
Key US weapons stockpiles remain significantly depleted and will come under even more intense pressure if strikes against Iran continue at the current rate, as President Donald Trump reiterated Friday that the ceasefire in the conflict is “over.” The situation with armaments could impact the American military’s ability to fight a potential future war with China or even North Korea, experts told CNN. “If the war continues at the rate it’s been going for the last [five] days … it would reduce stockpiles enough that there would be a new, higher level of risk … with the Indo-Pacific,” said Mark Cancian, a retired Marine Corps colonel and defense analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank. The early phase of the Iran conflict, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, saw the US military expend thousands of key missiles used for long-range precision strikes and to defend against enemy air and missile attacks, according to analysts and previous CNN reporting.
Now they say that it may take between two to five years to "replenish"--it is akin to stating that I am between four to seven feet tall. 
But replenishment rates are low for key missiles, Cancian said — according to current fiscal year delivery schedules, the Pentagon is receiving roughly 15 new Tomahawks and 20 new Patriot missiles per month. There are no THAAD deliveries forecast in 2026. CSIS estimated it would take three or more years to rebuild those inventories to pre-Iran war levels.
Well, "pre-Iran levels" is an indicator that the US is incapable to fight even single medium-intensity conflict against subpar opponent and, most importantly, SUSTAIN it, period. This is not to mention the fact that it doesn't matter how many missiles for Patriot PAC3 or THAAD the US produces--the combat effectiveness of these systems is laughable. Are they that incompetent? Yes. Across the board. This is what happens when one gets too high on own supply of a second-rate militarist propaganda and military fairy tales. To illustrate, from three years ago:

This is the expenditure of the Patriot PAC3 missiles by a single battery before being wiped 
out (aka "slightly damaged" in Pentagonese) together with its combat crew by a single Kinzhal missile. This is half of the monthly production of these missiles by the US in a single tactical episode which lasted less than a minute. Count yourself.

Lindsey Kaput.

I am sure on his way to hell to reunite with his buddy John McCain. 

Lindsey Graham, longtime South Carolina senator, dies at 71. The staunch ally of President Donald Trump died Saturday night after a sudden illness, his office said.

Pretty young, I would say. 

Mearsheimer, As Always ...

 ... has no clue. 

His ideas about "two conditions", especially about drones, are those of the amateur in warfare and its specific field of Air Defense. But then again, where can he get his data from? Of course from same amateurs as he is and they take it from visuals and 404 propaganda. Yet, this guy remains in continuous rotation in every media and delivers platitudes time after time. He was wrong about Russia so consistently, so outlandishly bad for the last 10+ years, that I don't even know how to explain to him what REAL air defense is and how it operates. He will not grasp it. He will not listen anyway. 

For Mearsheimer it is advised to get acquainted with Russia's Military Doctrine and to look up real situation on the battlefield and then try to figure out what are the objectives of Russia in SMO, and not from merely statements of Russian officials but based on verifiable data. I have news for him--and videos and testimonies, such as deputy commander of the 4th Brigade of the 6th Motor Rifle Division responsible for UAV systems and their operations (among many others) who actually implement daily what amounts to anti-drone measures, effectively UAV air-to-air combat in the tactical zone.
While REAL number of UAV leakers into Russia is expressed in SINGLE digits, but Mearsheimer knows nothing about. For the US those things are beyond the grasp, including this thing: 
This was in 2024, since then the production increased a number of times. Russia outproduces whole of combined West (NATO and shit) by an order of magnitude in all types of drones. Now let's get to 2026. This is Mr. Manturov:
For arithmetically challenged (forget about combat models used for planning of operations against NATO's aerial terrorism) this means: 365 x 15,000 = 5,475,000 drones per year. Combined West's economies will choke trying to match this. But then again, one must be situationally aware--a novelty thing for Pentagon, CIA and so called "analysts" such as Mearsheimer. And so he continues with platitudes. 

Now to the crux of the matter--Russia MAY strike Europe, and among targets could be some of those UAVs-producing facilities, but if it happens, it is going to be NOT the main consideration, and NATO's UAVs could be used MERELY as casus belli. Already now Russia blunted and mitigated all this "wall of drones"--yet another pathetic moniker for NATO's military impotence--if Russia will be striking Europe she will come in hard and main targets will be the remnants of NATO's industrial plant, thus solving a strategic task of a complete demilitarization of Europe. But here we enter the sphere of a strategic ambiguity which plays extremely well for Russia, who knows about herself and combined West orders of magnitude more than Mr. Mearsheimer. 

P.S. You all know that 404 "struck" today ... drum roll ... 46 "Russian tankers" in the Sea of Azov. I was incensed--why such a low number? There should have been at least 250 tankers hit and another 50,000 Russians killed around Moscow, which is about to fall. This "quick victory" thing becomes nauseating. 

SitRep ...

 ... and Patrushev. 



In Columbia They Burn ...

 ... 404 flags and demand government stops recruiting cannon fodder for 404. 


Here is a gruesome fate of one such Columbian "volunteer" who didn't do his homework on the abyss separating "operations" of cartels and lefty guerrillas and fighting the best army in the world.  


It is too late now for learning. 

Hell, NO!!

Seriously? They still believe it? Europe is Russia's EXSISTENTIAL enemy and there will be no lifelines. Europe as it exists today must die--it is Satanists and pedophiles' playground with brainwashed population (majority of it, anyway) and an economic basket case. 

In Ankara, Trump gets everything. But Russia is Europe's only lifeline. The main European governments absurdly continue to hurt themselves, not understanding who the enemies are and who the potential allies are. 

Nice try, but no. Europe must be completely removed from the new world order as a subject and must be kept demilitarized and under the constant threat of punishment. It must be allowed to consume herself in internal squabbles, warfare, multiculturalism, Islamization and degeneracy until no threat (to the rest of the world) of war originating there remains. Russia, of course, will continue to maintain contacts with normal Europeans but their chances of getting to power and changing anything in Europe are approaching zero and there should be no trust anyway. The US is a separate matter.   

Something To Consider.

This is the graph of a number of 404 refugees in Europe. 


Of course, not all of those refugees are necessarily horrible people but very many end up not only demanding "respect" from Europeans but are involved in abuse of welfare systems and demand more privileges. There is also a substantial contingent of the organized crime with many participants having experience in combat. So, EU police will have (already?) a jolly good time handling those guys. 

Meanwhile, Russia released a video dedicated to Volyn tragedy--a massacre of more than 100,000 Polish, primarily women and children, civilians by banderites. FSB also released some NKVD documents on this matter. Guess the reaction from Poland. 


Well, too late for Poland to have objections and hysterical reactions. The deed was done. Poland supported the butchers of her own people.

That's How Nolan ...

... can save his clusterfuck of Odyssey and make it into a global phenomenon, because people will go for this version big time. 


I would pay to watch it))

Turkish Hurriyet Dropped ...

 ... a massive bullshit bomb yesterday that Turkey is ... selling her S-400 to Qatar, LOL)) Well, Mr. Fidan, Turkey's Foreign Minister, was forced today to explain things.

It is from the same opera as Trump "giving" a license to produce Patriot missiles to 404. Trump cannot do that (apart from the absurdity of this whole Kabuki theater), neither can Turkey sell S-400 without explicit permission from Russia. Some in Turkey are so desperate to get F-35s, LOL). 

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".
