... Israeli and other lobbies who own Washington D.C. from Knesset 2.0, to CIA, to Pentagon, to media. This is who governs the US.
... goes with this, but as I stated many times before--Colonel Douglas Macgregor should go to Podolsk to see the real archives on WW II and not propaganda he was fed by his Bundeswehr curators who committed unspeakable crimes and then hid them behind propaganda. If his son, to his greatest credit, can grasp it--good.
Rachel interviews Douglas Macgregor:
Even against the raging economic crisis in the 1990s Russia and the chaos which ensued in the wake of the barbaric U.S.-directed economic reforms and the essential demolition of the Soviet Armed Forces, the military-technological heritage of the Soviet Union was preserved to a very substantial degree. This is precisely the point which the overwhelming majority of American geopolitical thinkers, even those who pass for the so-called realists with whom Brzezinski was mistakenly identified, cannot grasp because they do not have a proper background, reliable information, or both. Already in 1996–97 it had become clear that the truncated Russian military-industrial complex was still engaged with a backlog of highly advanced Soviet military R&D which was much more impressive than America’s “technologically peerless military establishment” as proclaimed by Brzezinski, in the wake of euphoria from beating a backward third world military. Russia in 1994–95 was already offering on the international market systems such as:•3M54 Kalibr anti-shipping cruise missile (NATO reporting SS-N-27 Sizzler).•S-300 PMU 1 and 2 Air Defense Complexes (NATO reporting SA-20 Gargoyle).•P-800 Oniks supersonic cruise missiles (NATO reporting SS-N-26 Strobile).•A variety of deeply modified combat aircraft such as international arms market-oriented SU-30MK, and Russian Air Force variant of SU-30, later SU-30SM.•In 1997, demonstrating the SU-34 (as SU-32FN) prototype in Le Bourget, including first versions of R-73 long range AAM.•Advanced radar and signal processing systems.•Combat ships and diesel submarines.•Since 1982, the GLONASS satellite constellation, while maintaining the use of Parus system.•T-90 tanks.This is just a short list of what Russia was offering on the international market, despite a marked decline in her arms sales due to the loss of the arms markets of the former Warsaw Pact countries.
... breaking SLOC (Shipping Lanes Of Communications) IS the capability (still) of the US Navy. It is still the largest Navy in the world and its submarine force is world-class. PLAN's sub force is not in the same league.
Douglas Macgregor begins to play a favorite game of Russian peasants since the time of Czars. The game goes like this: Oh, the Czar is good, but boyars who surround him are bad, if we could only tell Czar the truth. That's the game.
... as a high roller. Also, the US air power is grossly exaggerated, not to mention the fact that NO US pilot or USAF commander has any experience of operating against modern air defense and top notch air force. Blowing up Iraqi Scuds or Afghan weddings is not much of a combat experience. But the points made are good ones.
Per this. Only retards would believe this BS.They always knew, that is why they have been tickling his fancy, including famous Putin's "he is a bright person" (bright being not as smart but noticeable) to same Putin expressing latent sympathy to him for his persecution. But Russians never had any doubt about his nature. Russians merely gave him a chance--he blew it.
... who was formed as an officer by the BS from Bundeswehr and Nazi propaganda, should avoid speaking about things he has no clue about--namely military history and especially so about Soviet Union. He is completely brainwashed and has very little grasp of the Great Patriotic War. He should concentrate on expressing himself on what he knows best--US Army.
And Russia is not budging.
Douglas Macgregor talks about operational art of NATO. None exists as a part of military science in the US. Time after time--the US Armed Forces are stuck in 1990s--tactically, operationally, strategically and technologically.
Absolutely! NATO cannot project, pardon my French, shit. When you talk about modern XXI century war--this is real men's business, not these cabana boys' Starmer and Macron.
Spot on, Colonels. But to buttress the point:BRUSSELS — Europe's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, had high hopes of being able to mobilize as much as €40 billion of military aid to shore up Ukraine's position on the battlefield and strengthen its hand in upcoming talks with Russia. But as EU leaders wound up their gathering in Brussels on Thursday, the plan lay in tatters — not quite dead, but dramatically downgraded from its original ambition. The problems started, several EU diplomats said, from the plan's inception when the former Estonian prime minister failed to win prior buy-in from crucial stakeholders. The process had been "botched up," one of the diplomats summarized.
Kallas is not "top diplomat", she is a deranged Estonian bitch with Waffen SS traits in her. She IS the type needed in Brussels to grasp at the last straws of Europe's globalist project conceived by economic and military amateurs who never held a real job in their life. Sandcastles always dissolve or, in this particular case, are smashed by the Russian armor and artillery and all other means of organized violence at which Russians are the best in the world. History trained them for thousand years.
And so, here we are--at the closing act of the combined West's main geopolitical hobby--once every hundred years West marches to Russia, to get its ass handed to itself. The more things change, the more they stay the same--anybody wants to fire cretins with civilian humanities degrees who teach BS ambitiously called History and Strategy in Sandhurst, King's College or US Naval War College, among many others, and maybe hire qualified people who know the truth? Ah, yes, truth hurts. But the United States invoked its superpower privilege and uses offramp afforded only to superpowers, at least for now. Europe? Didn't I tell it will be left holding the bag of some rather unpleasant substance? I think I did, many times.
Meanwhile, look at what "Putin's Regime" did to the center of space industry in Russia (among many other places). Somebody, explain to Sarah Paine what is going on in Russia, or what is happening to Russian roads.
That dictatorial Putin's Regime, you know.Difficult to argue here. It is all (always was) about the scale of players, period. What's left of 404 must shut up.
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland's President Andrzej Duda said Tuesday that he has received U.S. assurances that Washington will not reduce its troop presence in Poland and elsewhere along NATO's eastern flank. A conservative who has long had good ties with U.S. President Donald Trump, Duda also returned to an idea he proposed years ago to create a U.S. military based called “Fort Trump” in his country.
Sure. Russians are waiting and the mood in Russia, across the board, is the same--talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words. Granted, Russia understands what Trump is trying to do domestically. Meanwhile, coping in the NATO pseudo-military porn outlets is palpable, I speak about it from technological POV in my today's video.
... is lacking in the instant gratification culture.
No leverage over Russia--none whatsoever. Washington D.C. is the largest concentration of ignorant people in the world today.
... lived a life of privilege in USSR being a daughter of party nomenclature. The "trauma" was so huge that these three Baltic statelets are on the way out as ethnicities and countries, dying out due to all "freedoms" and "privileges" they got from EU and NATO for 30+ years. The only product they produce is rabid Russophobia which sells in Europe. That, plus whores for NATO contingents stationed on their soil.
His quip about "unipolar moment", which is exactly what I was talking about for decades, which was grossly exaggerated to start with, is on point. Daniel and Doug should have been in Trump Admin as advisers in Pentagon at least.
There WILL BE no "cease fire" or "freezing". If anyone in Trump Admin thinks that (and many do) --they should be taken back to the high school and given basic facts about Russia's history and anomaly which 1990s were.Yes, this is a great interview of Colonel Macgregor to Judge, but Judge's quip about Air Force and Army at 28:50 is as hilarious as it is accurate))
For starters, I have news for Goldstein:
1. Do not measure anything Russia produces in US Dollars--it is a fool's errand, a method invented by the white board academic frauds from the Wall Street and Ivy League economics departments, precisely the thing which brought about geopolitical defeat of the combined West which turned out to be military and economic paper tiger.
2. $1 billion, while a large sum of money, is by no means something dramatic or astronomical for Russia and her budget. E.g. non-existent and over budget (and already delayed) US Navy's new SSBN of Columbia-class WILL cost around $9-10 billion per a single sub, for the same price Russians already built EIGHT (5 operational, 3 getting ready) state-of-the-art SSBNs of Borei-class, which carry weapons which make SLBM Trident -II D5 look like a backwater.
Goldstein should know this, he taught at the USNWC. In the end, it is a respectable educational institution. And then there are THESE guys.
Yet despite incremental progress, Chinese and Russian analysts are aware that the Arctic passage will never achieve its true potential without Western backing.
... describing what I was stressing for a very long time--Trump and his national security circle are a bunch of delusional hacks. As is Trump himself--an American exceptionalist and militarist, but his national security advisory corps is a bunch of amateurs in modern war.
Judging by the increased number of trolls... ah judge for yourself. This is from Ria (use Google to translate).
Translation: Fighters from other units have already reached the center and control more than half of the city. A few kilometers and the Ukrainian troops will be surrounded. The loss of Kurakhovo will deprive the Ukrainian Armed Forces of important supply routes. And the Russian army will receive the key to the Zaporizhia region.
And what do you know:
