... but it shows you what modern war looks like. These guys shouldn't be driving tanks anymore, because the weight of their balls of steel will make those tanks really immobile and there is no new engine yet which would be able to move such a tank.
Also shows what T-90s really made of, as well as counter-drone support from the troops of the unmanned systems. That's REAL war.
... real economics, physics and math. Most of this ruling class in the West is a collection of incompetent ideologues who continue to fuck things up non-stop because none of them ever worked real job in productive capacity and all of them will run profitable 7-11 into the ground within two weeks of their "management". Add here a chronic hatred of everything Russian multiply it by egos larger than cathedrals and voila'.
... that is economics which is based on producing REAL things and critical services, like math and physics, doesn't give a flying coitus about smartass speculators who are produced in bulk at Ivy League degree mills and then write books on how to become a millionaire by specu ... pardon me--investing. Keep in mind--none of them has any clue about real mechanism from which money derive power. Throw away good ol' tale about donkey loaded with gold which opens gates to any fortress. Not really, it is hit and miss.
Oil prices from Russia’s Pacific coast are climbing as Chinese refiners intensify their purchase of spot cargoes due to limited supply options. This development reflects a tightening oil market, driven by increased Chinese demand for Russian crude. The surge in demand is likely affecting global oil price dynamics, particularly as geopolitical factors and supply constraints come into play. Market participants are closely monitoring these shifts, as they could influence the probability of crude oil reaching new all-time highs.
Or, as Roger wrote for the greatest album ever created.
Money, get back
I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Ah, don't give me that do-goody-good bullshit
Hands off of China's and India's stack, because the stack accumulates because of energy--the real mover of everything in Universe. Money is just avatar, you cannot produce shit with money alone. You also cannot buy everyone, as they thought you could. Naive petulant children, evil children. Some things are not for sale, unlike US Congress and the White House. Russian stack--yeah, they tried and failed yet again. They may still steal whatever frozen funds they keep, likely already, but cold hard barrel of Russian Stechkin is already pressing against the backs of their heads.
... defeated, confused and humiliated--this is how the US faces 25th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy and of the so called GWOT.
... from West's media-herpes, Putin is "humiliated" and "isolated" at BRICS. They invent all kinds of BS pulling it out of their asses, but we knew that about them, didn't we? So,
The BRICS countries have reached a banking agreement on BRICS Pay, which will actually become a payment system for the states of the association. This was announced by the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev. "We are focusing on the financial track. We lead the financial engagement group, and payments are very important here. And today we will announce a banking agreement on BRICS Pay, in fact, a payment system for the BRICS countries," Dmitriev said.
What can I say, just WOW! Cannot find shit on who this Elofson guy is, but he is sure dumb as fuck because the whole damn world operates on not just algebra, algebra is easy-peasy, but on trigonometry, calculus, differential equations et al.
... but not only. It is on war, a real one. Incompetence of the American "elites" is stupefying.
... VSU collects trash. Russians take this trash out.
3,5 thousand Colombian and Brazilian women have signed contracts with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, following in the footsteps of their husbands. The majority of these mercenaries have been convicted in their home countries for drug trafficking and prostitution. According to SHOT, hospitals in South America have begun granting their female employees leave to serve in Ukraine. The main reason for this mass exodus is the death of their mercenary husbands or those who are being held captive, awaiting an exchange. In addition to medical personnel, women snipers and scouts with no combat experience are also joining the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. These are primarily Latin American women who were involved in illegal activities in their home countries. The Ukrainian Armed Forces regularly replenish their ranks with mercenaries from other countries, but they are also dying at the same rate in battles with the Russian Armed Forces. For example, near Kupiansk, approximately 5,000 foreigners have been killed since the beginning of 2026. Their primary motivation for joining the front lines is money, which they often do not receive, nor do their relatives, even after their death. One of the most recent groups of Colombian assault troops was left to die by Ukrainian soldiers without water or food.
"Illegal activities", of course, being prostitution and drugs trafficking. Here are some examples.
... away from Twin Towers. Yet, somehow he was saved there.
... are irrelevant--a bunch of decomposing states with pathetic militaries, with degenerate cultures and political elites. Cowards and terrorists to boot; so, as was stated by Mr. Lavrov himself--there will be no Europe at the table where conditions will be imposed on NATO.
... submersible. I doubt it contains anything outstanding in terms of secrets and technology (Russia operates similar systems) but still a good catch, literally, by Iranians.
So, looks like demining of Hormuz Strait is also not progressing that well.And Kiev is receiving a round of fireworks today.
... talking on Friday. Roger Waters was supposed to join but he got stuck in traffic. Our best wishes and Happy Birthday to the founding member of Pink Floyd.
Russian "militarism" which is finally back. Zarnitsa 2.0 bigger, better and growing real men from the school desk. Zarnitsa is a patriotic war game for schoolchildren.
... "disclosures" anyone with a basic knowledge of math and Pentagon's MO could figure out that the US was in a sustainment debacle.
Pentagon investigators administered polygraph tests to dozens of military officers and civilian employees in August as part of an investigation into disclosures about the nation’s dwindling weapons stockpiles. The polygraph tests, first reported by The New York Times last week, followed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s announcement in July that the Pentagon was forming a joint task force with the Department of Justice to identify and prosecute what he called the “unauthorized disclosure of sensitive” information to the press.
It doesn't take a genius, especially after observing US military-industrial complex convulsions with supplies for 404 that the US cannot sustain a serious war with the opponent such as Russia for more than a month. After that it will collapse. While Iran is certainly not Russia it is still the first serious opponent the United States military encountered in the mano a mano mode and it buckled after roughly two months.
The other critical tell-tale sign is that the whole foundation of the US war-fighting capability was and is "shock and awe" with coming in with massive strikes trying to overwhelm the enemy because the US military is not built for sustained large scale operation. Famous "counter-offensive" in 2023 in 404 anyone? The whole thing bears the hallmark of the US military planning--rushed, oblivious to COFM and lacking the grasp of a composition of modern battlefield. Yet, very sure of own invincibility, despite all indications to the contrary. So, after basic counting it was clear that the Pentagon will run out of "ammo" really fast. And it did. This whole thing with polygraphs is more for rooting out Hegseth's opponents in order to do the only thing this "officer" can do--manage perceptions of himself as a great military leader and possible candidate for the POTUS run, than managing organization properly. The fact that he is uneducated and incompetent dumbass is a secondary consideration in the American military-political circus.
... of State Department says things we all know now about Minab.
It was deliberate, as was an attack on children in Starobelsk--three waves of drones to finish off survivors and rescuers. That's US "tactics", that's how US military "fights" stand-off "shock and awe" against civilians, especially children. That'll show them damn Iranians, Russkies and others, as long, of course, as nobody shoots back--then it is a different matter.
